Okay, Okay! The rose arbor is only doing a little bit so far, but I am hopeful. Wouldn't you know, beautiful weather for a week and when I want to get some good photos, it's as grey out as an old tomcat!
Leonie has lots of buds, Peace has a few, Buff Beauty, will bloom later.
No, truly, Kerole, I literally have no more room for roses. I can only just take care of them now, a new garden will be over the top for me. I would rather plant the front of the Arbour, which gets good sun, with my purple Iris, which has struggled with the only other spots I could plant it. Something else was always shading the roots and they didn't thrive. I put a few in one corner of the metresquare Lime tree plot and it took off like Apollo! After two years I had to pull it out; as you know, Citrus don't like greedy company.
The clouds may be clearing, I think that was a bit of fog, I will get some pics later today, I hope.
