Rose report

very slow in growth Woo , which I dont mind as you never know a late frost may just catch them out, but I have fed with a rose food and finished the tying in on the ramblers and a couple of stays ones trimmed back a tad , if it doesnt rain over the next couple of days I think I will have to turn the sprinklers on.

One of mine is called Chevy Chase introduced 1939 , its not a strong grower but amazing small flowers , I thought it was a recent introduction after the actor

26 fine. Gold rush still tiny and struggling. Margaret merril still poorley but much better. A tiny bit of blackspot on the pink floribunda

 

My new roses were set back by the snow the week before Easter when they were buried for two and a half weeks, they are now getting underway and looking healthy, let's hope they stay that way.

 

Joie de Vie in the pot is looking really happy,

Only got 1 patio rose in a pot. ( I know only1 rose is criminal)
Looking really healthy and new shoots growing

 

Yoo Hoo Woo,
first one this year,

 

Thank you Woo,
let's hope it doesn't get smitten by cruel windy weather. It's the rose spanning the back of the house - a spur that shot up a couple of months ago quite low down so I have let it stay,

That's great Jenny. In your own words 'pics please' when it opens of course.

 

They seem to be coming on well....i can't wait to see what my Ebb tides aregoing to be like

 

Loli, my 'Ebb Tide' is being a bit on the slow side but 'Super Trouper' and 'Rob Roy' are doing well out of the nine I planted.
