Hi Muddywalter. Ooh, a moderate performance so far I would say. I think the June has been just a little cool for very good bud development. I think they need a good 20 degrees to form and open well. How are yours doing?

Hi Jonathan,
A mixed result really - this is my roses second summer and four (climbers) have flowered for the first time, having made good growth last year. I have lost a good few flowers to 'balling', (when the cool, wet weather saturates the outer petals and then the sunshine dries and fuses them into a tight, papery shell, preventing the bud from opening), but have greatly enjoyed the majority.
More to come hopefully!

You have fourteen to look forwards to! They can't let you down.

You're right Jonathan - they make my summer!

Just been admiring the spring picture. I love the fact that you put loads of different things together like that.
