Well I'll show you mine if you show me yours ... but then again, here's mine anyway photographed now at 6 am in the soft morning light. Planted a puny plant of Celine on sale for $5 last year and now she is taking off up the (unstained) beams and trellis at the back of my house. She is living beside 5 Graham Thomas plants, 3 Penelopes, an Alfred Carriere and a new clbg Sutters gold and a Lady Hillingdonclbg. Should be very cream and yellow soon, at least judging by the many buds on Graham.
and could not resist one of Graham
All the roses here are very healthy - nothing done to them except cow and pony manure and some chook poo on the straw, and lucerne mulch - don't own any sprays except pest oil and haven't bothered to use that. One Penelope had a lot of mildew but moved her to her new spot and now she is full of health They give me such joy! Will post some pictures of the front beds soon as spring for roses is just starting now in this little valley and it is gorgeous. |
