Morning everyone, although I’m away I took some photos before I left as I wanted to have a reference for future years. I suspect by the time I get back, they may not be looking quite as lovely #rose #rose-aromatique #scented #ajjune
Morning and thank you Julie! You’re absolutely right! I have so many beautiful roses blooming at the moment. I did consider deadening before I left, but I couldn’t bring myself to do it! Plus I was pretty whacked by the time I’d carted all my big pots into the shade. 🥵😂 @juliesgarden
Thank you, I’m hoping some new buds will be ready to open by the time I get home. It is such a gorgeous rose and the scent is divine 🧡🧡🧡 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom @hebelover @brightcolours
Thank you, I daren’t say it’s one of my favourites as I say that about all my roses…but it is! 😂 @pelly @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom @juliesgarden @hkyfvr @hebelover
Morning everyone, hope you have a lovely day. Another photo of this #latebloomer which never quite knows whether it’s going to be apricot, peach or yellow, so every bloom is a surprise #rose #rose-aromatique #scente #ajoct22
Thank you. It is a fabulous colour. If you scroll through the photos on this one you’ll see it changes it colour from a deep apricot, through to a pale peach and can even have a yellow tinge 🍑🧡💛 @jeatacake @hebelover
This rose is just incredible, gorgeous colour and the most divine scent. It’s so lovely I ended up with two in the garden….as you do! 😆🌹🌹 @pelly @juliesgarden
@gjones thank you so much…I’ve just noticed that you live in Saskatchewan? I have very fond memories of Saskatchewan. I worked in Saskatoon back in the 80’s. Happy days! Whereabouts are you?
Thank you Jane, I do love this one as it changes from a gorgeous peachy colour to a very soft yellow tinge as each flower matures. The peach colour is just gorgeous @pelly
Morning everyone, this photo was taken earlier this week. Could someone advise please…I’ve noticed all of my shrub rose blooms seem too heavy this year and the weight is making them droop. The only difference this year is that I added manure, slow realease rose granules and have watered more. Is it possible to have overdone it? Some are in pots, others in the ground and different varieties #advice #rose-help #rosehelp #help #rose-aromatique #apricot
Thank so much Jane. I seem to have followed this guidance. Plenty of blooms and buds but the stems don’t seem strong enough to hold up the blooms…such a shame 😔 @pelly
You're welcome. I thought what you had done sounded right too 🤔. I had two DA roses that were the same, the company more or less blamed me when I got in touch with them. In the end I had to get rid of them 😢
That’s disappointing, particularly from DA. I have 3 different varieties from 3 different sources, I’ve had them for a few years now and this is the first time this has happened. I wonder if the granules are leaching feed too quickly with the watering? 🤔 I may have to prune them back a bit more this year, keep my fingers crossed and see what happens @pelly
That’s a shame. Normally they do quite well for me Jason. I thought I’d give them a little more TLC this year…seems I should have left well alone! @hebelover
I find that having 200 supports helps immensely…..😆 to be honest I’ve always found DA roses to be on the heavy side…..that’s why I go to PB…..and apart from supports (which can be useless most times) I don’t know a solution 😕
The chances are your blooms are really big and healthy thanks to your care but when rainwater gets inside them they become too heavy. So after the rain I always go and shake them out. BTW are you deadheading back to a stem thicker than a pencil?
Looking fresh after the rain with plenty more buds waiting to open. Love how this one starts out orange then progresses through to a peachy then yellow colour #rose #scented #stillgoingstrong #orange #bloom #autumn #raindrops

It is a lovely colour Jane. It changes quite a bit…if you swipe you’ll see what I mean. @pelly
