I've counted six blooms on this rose, which amazes me. I never expected so many on such a previously weak looking plant. Thank heavens for nice little surprises like this. The news on my Freddie rose is good too, there's this #secondflush going on but, Freddie doesn't do second flushes, he keeps going 😁two more little buds on him. Amazing 👑♥️♥️

She's not the colour she should be, purple with white stripes but, she's still pretty and got quite a few buds on, which I wasn't expecting. Win win, with this one 🧡🧡♥️

@jeatacake I'm thrilled with it Jeff. The first bud came way too early and looked not so good so, I took it off. Good that I did that, and then another better looking bud came, this one. Great result 🧡🧡

@anges @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom @suzieshadow1227gmailcom She's set to change colour though, she's supposed to be purple and a swirl of white. We'll see what happens, but I'm happy she's going to bloom. Against the odds but she's doing well 🤠💜💜

@DeborahBanks Oh dear, sounds like you've been waiting a while? I hope to get my 4 plants I ordered next week. I haven't heard anything yet but I only ordered them on the 18th Apr. I got my Freddie Mercury Rose from Amazon and it's already got a bud on it. I got it very quickly too 🌹

I might have said before that I've got a bud on this little beauty. Can't wait too see it. My other Roses, Peace Rose and Double Delight really don't seem to be growing much. I have used fertilizer on all of them and even started using spent ground coffee. Apparently it's good for them. Dull day today and a drizzle of rain. 🙄♥️♥️
