the ends of the new leaves on my Alnwick Rose bush have dried and gone crispy which I had put down to the severe weather. It still looks alive. my neighbour doesn't think low temperatures are at fault. Two of their roses look like mine but the other one looks fine. Any ideas as to whats happened and do you think the roses will recover

As said it will recover fine.

Lol SBG - I suggest hot coffee and perhaps a brandy snap.

lol :O) what are we all like. I am crispped too as are the roses as are the Heucheras, think most of the garden is too. Hope your roses recover, think this week mine look better and new shoots are emerging so good luck :O)

« hello im back again if any of you remember me from last year? :) c
You're right, it was that easterly wind, cold AND dry. It just crisps things, sort of freeze dried! It'll recover. The new batch of leaves will be fine, I bet.
