Roses

Hi Wiseoldowl , Being an ex old Steam Railway Fireman it was a Cert guess :D music .

Hi Marjorie may have sent you a PM

We used to call individual roses after the names of our daughter's rabbits, ie, "Sophie's' Rose," "Muffin's Rose," "Benji's Rose" etc., She had a shed with rabbits and guinea pigs. Every time one died, through old age or occasional illness we'd bury it in the garden and plant a rose over...

Marley, Thankyou! And for preparations for next year.:luv::luv::luv:

.............."It's that wonderful 'something for nothing' feeling."Just about my favourite feeling of all. The only hard part will be deciding which of the hardwood cuttings to dispose of, which explains why I have probably too many roses.

Oh absolutely nothing!!! Double delight is one of my favourites and I grow it in my garden, lovely perfume too. I just wish that Osiria was a bit more Red in colour, although I must agree that it is beautiful anyway.

With patio pots with roses I always put them up against a south facing wall and put some small wooden blocks under them. I think just as the patio heats up in the summer it will transfer the low temperatures through the base of the pots in the winter. I put bubblewrap round the pots. Whether it...

Orange and Lemons in its second flush.

Cheers Woo, it's in a 'nursery' pot at the moment but I'll move it into it's permanent home this winter when it's dormant. I lifted and moved it once already this year and it survived, but I don't want to push my luck and disturb it again, especially as it's responded well to the new home ...

Good evening Ciryluk good for you,we shall have to set up our own Rose Rescue Centers:thmb:

:D They are little horrors for that aren't they? Lovely pictures. Bit of a nosey question, but are you the same Doghouse Riley who posts on Digital Spy? Good luck with the roses Victoria Plum. I tried and failed miserably with one this year, although I'm still worried I gave up on it too...

Hi Carol you are most welcome,your rose has been voted the peoples favourite of all time

You wont regret it Waqas.:gnthb:

Thank you for your reassurance. Sadly I think I have lost all the remaining buds, but hopefully it won't be too long before it produces some more if I keep watering it.

Good evening Butterfield ,if possible remove the shrivelled Buds down to the next eye bud and maybe some mulch round the base if you can get to it, something which will retain the water

I took loads of rose cuttings last summer. They all rooted very quickly using rooting powder. I forgot to bring them in during the winter...................nuff said I am going to take more next week and then I will try the hardwood ones ala Woo.
