@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom Hi Elaine I seem to be able to put a couple of pics on then grinds to a halt or error message and either pic on multiple times or green square !!! I’ve just had to choose between your name with or without a ‘p’ in Thompson - hope I’ve got it right🙄👵🏻

@sieveheadsarah thanks - this is usually my first and last rose every year, but late this year. 3 bushes been here since I moved in (1993)! We had some building work done about a month ago - new pathing in back garden - builder left his ladders and planks leaning on the fence where roses are just as buds forming got squashed 😱 and they didn’t look like they were going to make it! But struggled on - they smell heavenly ❤️

It’s beautiful, I love the dark reds. I have black baccara but it’s struggled, 1 flower last year and then got put in a pot to move and replanted. It’s alive and I really hope it flowers this year.

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom @midnightgardener Elaine, Chris there are 3 bushes of these by my back fence been there since I moved in here in 1993!!! Was told they are Black Boy but seems to fit the description - tall up to 6ft and climbers if left alone! These usually grow a couple of foot above my 4’ fence - I cut them back a couple of times a year. Don’t need to tie them as so close to fence. Always first out and generally a bloom still on one of them in Nov❤️
