      I don't know of any, but then I'm not experienced with roses.
      Hopefully @wiseowl will be along and able to give you his best advice :thumbsup:

        Welcome Phil. :)

        I can't think of any plants that flower all year round. Plants will become dormant at least for a short while to rest and gather nutrients for them to carry on growing healthily.

          The best solution is a careful choosing of early flowering, mid season flowering, and late flowering, and most importantly repeat flowering roses, Phil. Having said that my Masquerade climbing rose flowered right through from Spring last year into early January of this year, but that was only due to the strange weather we've had over the last 12 months where lots of plants have re-flowered several times during the year. My Clematis Armandii is supposed to flower only in the Spring but, again, has flowered repeatedly throughout the year:doh:.:dunno::snork:

              @Philthebook, welcome to GC.

              I don't have any roses on flower yet either,it's still quite early for roses :spinning:
              If you could post some photos of your roses on here we could give you some pruning advice :dbgrtmb:. Last year I put some pig muck around the bottom of my roses which they seemed to like, this year I'm going to try some Rose liquid feed :dbgrtmb:, have you fed yours yet this year? :)

                Hi Phil, you say you are seeing blooms everywhere, where abouts do you live ?

                Some of our Roses ( here in a mild area of Worcestershire ) generally flower from about May until early January if we have a mild Winter.

                However, when it comes to late February I always prune them back, to get a good start for the following season.

                  I'm in crickhowell. Generally mild. I have fed them rose food ,but will look for something organic. I have seen several locally that have flowers and look wonderful. Obviously they know something I don't ,hence the thread. Thanks for your replies. Is it too late now to prune ?

                    Forgive me if I've gone totally off track here, and I don't mean to insult your intelligence in any way, but, I've just had a thought.

                    Is there any way you could take a photo of one of those flowering Roses for us.

                    I'm actually wondering if they're Camellias, as from a distance they are very similar flowers to Roses, and are flowering like mad now.

                      Hi Beckie,

                      I think you might be mollycodling it a bit. They're really hardy. Also,, make sure they're kept damp during July/August as that is when the flowers are formed for the following year.

                        PS, sorry also for going off thread, it was Beckies fault. She's always leading me astray :roflol:

                          image.jpeg Think you'r right. 2 of the bushes on closer inspection are camellias . And the third, photo I've put on , be fair , I certainly had that down as a rose bush. There are 3/4 different colours ! You live and learn ! I will now go and quietly prune mine .
