Rosa 'Margaret Merril' ('Harkuly')

Hi folks, this lady keeps on going. Think she liked the move from pot to flower bed

Afternoon Jeremy. She's still looking good 🤍🤍🤍

Morning folks, we're in for a couple of hot sunny weeks but then again for a lot of you poor people that's no change. This rose in the evening sunshine give off the most exquisite scent.

Morning Jeremy. That's a beauty 👋😊🤍

Morning Jeremy. Much as I love the sun this summer has been far too hot for me 🥵🥵🥵

This the second flush Pauline and its far better than the 1st one @flof1952

Morning Jane, we've had quite a few rainy day but having been in London this weekend helping my son with some DIY it was painfully hot @pelly

Almost feel bad saying 'bring on the sun' but we've had nearly 2wks of rain here!!

Morning again Jeremy.. sad to say no change here getting very hot again this week which we could really do without 😥

Feel for you Julie, too much of a good thing @juliesgarden

What I'd give for a few rainy days ☔️☔️☔️

Absolutely!!

Good morning JP beautiful rose.🥵😎

Good morning Enid 👋 it is though I think it'd be better in the ground @godfreye

Morning folks, second flush looking lovely but not as scented

Afternoon Jeremy, she's an elegant lady 🤍💛🤍

Morning folks, a lovely scented rose in its second year, unfortunately its prone to blackspot. Enjoy the day all

Morning Jeremy.. love white roses alas I think all are prone to the dreaded black spot these days 🫤

Morning Jeremy, it’s a pain trying to treat it. Good luck 🤞🤞🤞

@pelly @juliesgarden I've given up spraying them (infact most of my chemicals have gone) so I just pick off infected leaves which gives them a sparse look but as 99% of their nutrients come through the roots it won't harm them. I also completely strip them at the end of the year and clear out underneath them as that's were the fungus lies

@jpea .. I agree , I’ve done exactly the same , give mine a good prune and fairy liquid spray for the greenfly is about it and they still come back don’t they 👍🏻

It seems to me that whatever you do it’s nearly impossible to get rid of it 😡

Agreed Jane, just no way round it @pelly

@juliesgarden I read an article about washing up liquid that says it's now changed its makeup and is not good for the environment so I now just rub my fingers over the buds

Oh blimey, .. I do mostly rub them off , looks like no more fairy then 🙄

🤍🤍🤍

Morning JP 🤍🤍🤍👌🏼
