Roses

Billy, when thee plants are dormant they wont have leaves. All I do is mix the disinfectant in a watering can fitted with a fine rose and just water it over the plants and ground. You can use a sprayer if you prefer.

Shows how much I am 'up' on the new plants. I haven't heard of any of these.

Re miniature roses bought a dozen in Lidls, couple of months ago when I got them home intending to plant them in my big tubs instead of winter flowering pansies that never do ! there were four plants in each pot ! what a suprise so planted them close together grouping the same colours, well what...

Oh - I thought the minis were inside plants!! Shame! shame! Guess I'll have to find a place for them outside. Rats!

That is lovely roders, funny that you should have a clematis growing with your rose because I do too!! Mines a purple alpini (think) and it works well growing through my red rose.

Definately, also give them a feed in the spring.

Thanks David.

I've never had much luck with so called winter flowering plants, most are really just early spring flowerers unless you live in a really mild location. Early bulbs, tulips, crocus and daffs along with the iris, (not sure of the name) are reliable.

To add a little ray of sunshine :D a patio rose that i had all but given up on has now started to bud with Yellow, my favourite colour.It didn't do anything last year but it has popped up like a little ray of sunshine

sorry krafty wrong pic my climbing rose is lovely,but its flowers are all in my neighbours garden :D

Done that, no good, think the only way I am going to solve it is by making something myself, this is where I got the idea fromhttp://tinyurl.com/3c3nc5

Hello Foxy - it sounds as though you have a climber or rambler both of which need support as they can grow to great heights. They are better planted against a fence/wall where they can be tied in or against a rtree and allowed to ramble through the branches. If smaller then by all means use a...

Yes probably, but maybe next year

Hi,Ive a post in the Roses section but still waiting a reply. Could anyone help ?

I don't know which rambler it is, Dendy, but it has white clusters of flowers. I think Mike's advice is good and will follow that.
