My first vase of roses

Hi All

We're just back from a week in Sydney and, wouldn't you know it, my first flush of roses are blooming. They're a bit over-blown but pretty impressive to a novice like me.

From 12:00 o'clock:
Valerie Swane (bud), Princess de Monacco, Betty Boop, French Lace, Hansa Park, Paradise.

And Jessica was my first rose out this year.

We suffer from BS with the rain and cloudy days but the rewards make all the effort worth it!!

Happy rosie :)

Isn't it exciting when you get a whole vase full of your own roses?

Hiya Jackie-a gorgeous vase of roses for sure.
There is nothing like growing your own and filling the house with rosey colours and perfumes.
Blackspot is an ongoing problem but like most other rose pests/diseases it goes in cycles so it will eventually go away for a while.Like you say-it doesn't stop those beautiful blooms from forming and enchanting us-and that is the main joy.
regards
sandie
