Roses

I don't know, I've never had one die on me yet. I've nearly lost a few to over watering, but a bit of neglect lets them recover. Perhaps that's it, the basis of the taleNo objection at all to you borrowing my post

When this Adam was a lad we had Rosehip Syrup from the fledgling National Health Service, as a vitamin C suppliment, also NHS Orange juice. There is a very good Rosehip Cordial available now see: a-a

Hi Janefer IMHO yes with new John Innes no 3,with respect a 16 inch Pot is not large enough,and keep it well watered ,Hope this helps.

What ? .. women making themselves look like something else or people stop playing around with roses ...

That's incredibly beautiful, does it have a strong fragrance, do you know?

Here's a few photo's for you all. The first one is probably the worst area, I have clipped it away since, and it was taken a few weeks back. The others are the rose as it is now....and looking healthier. I clipped this bit away. The offending rose The pilgrim The...

Good morning Gemini thank you for your very kind words my friend

I love Dainty Bess - i'd love that one, may have to add that to my list.

I know very little about roses specifically, but I inherited a few when I bought our house.They were all in a dire state (both front and back gardens had been neglected for some time, and a google maps satellite pic of my house from probably a few years ago shows it was tortured back...

Hi there *dim*I would have thought you should get some flowers next summer. If your rose is a rambler, the chances are that it only produces one flush of flowers a year. Few ramblers are repeat flowering, so you've probably missed the boat this year. Hopefully it should be a mass of flowers...

Hello Thanks for the reply, there is nothing on the leaves at all. its just black patches on the stem. So, is it not black spot then?

when I was a kid, comic books used to have adverts I always wanted to buy the seeds that grew sea monkeys ... I genuinely believed that the adverts were genuine ... when I eventually bought a tropical fishtank, I was a bit older and had stopped reading comics .... (but I still sometimes...

Hi Wolfie KateIt's moth caterpillar damage, I think. It happens to lots of my plants, not just the roses. I don't think there's anything much you can do to prevent it. You can either spray when the problem appears or put up with losing some of your flowers :( I spray things I can't bear...

Spruce, I just badger him enough that he finally gave up. It's probably going to happen again though cause I have somewhere else I want to go next weekend. I have 5 days to listen to it......
