    MY garden is edibles....
    DW garden (which I also 'do') are flowers...

    I just bought long-suffering DW some new roses for the garden (but I'll wait 'til the frost goes!) - not bad at £2 each. Not performers but it'll do for the area I live in.

      They look pretty good to me, Kevin. WOO is GC's Guru on roses and nearly every one turns to him for help and advice.:love30::snork:

      I feed my roses on Tomato feed one week and Miracle Grow the next alternating each week as they are one plant that is a hungry plant and they respond to a good steady feed during the growing season.:snork:

          The planting season runs from nov to march. But dont plant if the ground is frozen - but im sure u know that already.

            Of the bare rooted roses I've bought since about 2009, only one has ever actually grown..

            Sadly, no, I don't know of the roses types - they are not listed on the boxes.
            I've kind of promised myself to go for 'premium' types next year - I especially love the fragrant old english roses.
            I'm interested in seeing if I can grow immaculate roses this year and onwards.
