It is beautiful, is not it?

Yes it sure is. Reminds me of a rose I have called a hologram rose. It seems a different color each time I look at it. :)

Pink can be very pretty in the right location...and we all know that you have a great talent combining the right plants and colours together Pansypotter. You garden reflects that. Thank you for your comment.

I have a similar one called Sunfire in a pot (can't grow them in our soil), and it is full of buds, but something has got at it this year - vine weevils I think. Little devils!!
I took the whole plant out, shook off as much compost as I could and replanted it in fresh compost. Also sprayed some Bravado(?) Bug killer on it.
I am hoping it will pick up again, but I have to say it doesn't look in the best of health!!
It will be such a shame if it is dying, or has died, because it is a beautiful colour.

I hope it will live Shirlwhirl. I have problem with vine weevils as well.
