Roses

Chow Francesca what type of roses are they Ie/miniature/patio/ect without seeing them I can only suggest that when you prune them in this winter ,you need to attend to the problem then,a photo and names would be appreciated if that is possible

Good morning CH/R my apologies I also forgot to mention that it also makes the roots much stronger when you have only one bloom growing

Can I plant/place in full sun next yr?

But how do you make sure a mini stays a mini??? Val

Of course you have ,you cannot care to much for People,Pets and Roses

I've not taken rose cuttings before but there are members that have. I think there is a thread here in the 'Roses' forum that explains how to take them.

Great help as always, thanks! xx

Lovely pictures Woo. What did you decide to under plant them with please?

Hello my roses although late are looking exceptionally healthy this year since I have under planted them with everything and not just as usual kept them in a bed on their own This is Climbing rose Guinee Some Roses Some more Roses One I spotted this morning,I did knock at the door but...

COngratulations woo and loli on the first blooms of thr season Theres hope for the rest of us now :

Absolutely! And it goes by the name of ... grief. Try not to judge them too, too harshly because I am sure they only have Mrs Frost's best interests at heart (even if it may appear to be somewhat insensitive to Lolly's memory). They are extremely fortunate to have found another dog so quickly!

We had this growing at my other house and the scent from the flowers is outstanding!! Kind of put the HT's and floribundas in the shade somewhat!! VAL

Good luck!

Welcome to GC (haven't "seen" you, before now ) If we ignore any "generalisations", may I ask, which type of roses are you asking about? Do you have any specific type in mind? Have you bought them bare rooted, or in a pot? What type of soil will they be planted in? Which 'aspect' will...

Hi Natty, roses are sun lovers, so as much as you can give it.

how very interesting, i love weird & wacky ideas like this im quite tempted to give it a try

I don't think it will do any harm at all if you start now but it might be a bit unnecessary at present as temperatures are still a bit on the low side for the development of fungal problems. However there is a school of thought that suggests that milk can contribute a foliar feeeding effect, so...

Thank you Woo. A sad loss, but good to see his son and daughter are carrying on his joy of Roses. R.I.P. Peter.

Merleworld, You ought to see the price of chips down our local chippy! Everyone loves a bargain and if Morrisons' roses grow . . . enjoy them. I ought to fess up and admit that I also have three Morrisons bargains in the greenhouse that 'her indoors' brought home with the groceries a few weeks back.
