Roses

Yes @infradig, you're right. I had my winter pruning hat on when I replied.

I purchased a total of 8 Poundland "roses",a few months ago.4 were no more than dead sticks,2 were suckers and only 2 authentic roses,although not as advertised. I informed Poundland about this,but they did not seem interested in sorting out the poor supply source of these plants. I made sure I...

No i haven't grown it but i know some hybrid teas are more vigorous than others.

Hi, I moved into this property in December and am still sorting the very neglected garden out. I have bent a main stem over an arch. Q: It is bare in the middle will new shoots fill it in or am i better to use the new shoot and cut the old one away? The old has already been cut at the top left...

That’s what I thought… about 15 mins after we chopped them all off in a panicyeh it’s the most beautiful climber that I inherited with the house I bought 2 years ago.

I've never tried to propagate a rose. I've divided pots of miniature roses on a couple of occasions with some success 7 I've grown one from seed. That now flowers every year & has beautiful butter gold single flowers every year at the end of April beginning of May. . . .

I think our resident rose expert would agree with me when I say that Potassium will not help much, especially for the first round of blooms, as roses flower on the growth they make this year (well, the bush roses that most people have in their gardens do). Potash as it is also known by will help...

Can anyone help to identify this rose from my grandmother's garden? It is around 25 years old, and I believe it is a hybrid tea, though the name itself is long lost to history for us. As pictures attached show, it has very large high centred blooms with gently curved edges, not the typical...

We have this in our garden (Eye Of The Tiger). It’s a very good ‘doer’ and never lets us down.

Hello, thank you for your replyWow, that is so interesting, abscission! And you are right, the stems are red or yellow, I hadn’t realised that.My thoughts are that possibly Wildeve didn’t have enough nutrients or energy to support all her buds. She had over 30 and now she has about 20. She...

The leaves on my climbing rose are turning brown as in the photo. It doesn’t seem to be black spot. Any ideas if this is a disease, nutrient deficiency or could this be due to overwatering if the roots have become waterlogged. I may have been over enthusiastic with watering during this dry spell.

@Clemenza no worries my friend if you have anymore questions just ask

Oh that is beautiful...so love the colour!!

Ahh thank you, that makes sense. I will get some.

The Jacqueline du Pre rose is still almost the earliest rose to flower, after the magenta single Rosa rugosa. Beautiful very pale pink, with nice perfume. And the ladybird larvae like it, they have been cleaning it for weeks.This morning I saw the first flower of the year on the Jacqueline...

Hallo @wiseowl , My Kerressia I'd in bud now but the blooms will be along soon. I is a beautiful " fresh " yellow.... Jenny namaste

I’ve been on the other side of the world living in condos with communal gardens full of palm trees with gardeners coming every week. This is a whole new world for me but I’m loving it and I’m so grateful. Thanks for the lovely comments and good luck building your garden. I don’t think I could...

Good morning @Tara Jane then I would definitely prune each lateral back to 6 inches,if you need anyother help just ask
