Two please.
One, how late cna I leave cutting back my roses? My neighbour wants me to prune hers,and I wonder if its not too late, as I do that in the winter to my own.
I have a half garden thats due North,so I grow what I call, Xmas roses on it, but they do ahave anohter name I can't remember. They seem to thrive, and I wonder what sort of manure should I have, any gardening hints would help. As it is I give them fish blood and bone every so often. Buyt whenis the best time please?

Hellebores are lovely and there are so many beautiful ones nowadays - you are lucky they do so well. They seem to be undemanding plants where they are happy.
I haven't pruned my roses yet either - must get on with it - so much to do, so little energy!

Cut them back this weekend or as soon as possible. Your Christmas Roses are white Hellibores and I wouldn't want to feed them more than once a year but a good mulch wouldn't go amiss.
