WHAT A DIFFERENCE A YEAR MAKES.

Last year ,feb/mar, I planted 8 climbing roses against a 30ft x 6ft high fence.
4 of the roses were named Golden Rain, (bright yellow) the other four were named Paul's Scarlet(Deep red),they grow to @10ft high.
Last year after planting I fed them regular on Miracle-Gro. The results,the climbers grew well,only problem it was mostly foliage not many flowers.
I started last year to intertwine them so I would have a show of mixed Red and Yellow flowers intertwining with each other.
This year they are growing as planned with plenty of shoots from the bottom of the bushes to the tops and I can see lots of buds coming through.
I let the bushes grow to the height of the fence then started to train them through each other.
I wedged several 3 inch plastic plant pots behind the the bushes and the fence near the tops so the new shoots would drape over my side of the fence and not my neighbours.
I have been feeding the roses since February on Home And Garden plant food fertilizer and Blood ,Fish,Bone and regular watering.

I have to thank some of my G.C. Colleagues for the tips they gave me last year on the feeding of the roses, Well Done..

I will send some Pics when the Roses are in Full Glory.
