Roses in the sky!

Pretty pink and lovely blue sky.

perfectly formed, are they scented?

I can't reach them to find out! lol.

How tall are they?

What a lovely shot - they look so good against the sky.

lovely pic spritz

I just asked my husband, Ian - he reckons the roses are about 12' tall!!

Poor things - they are brave and stubborn, aren't they!

Very...... Wow I never knew they went that tall. My mum always had roses when we were young but they were only 3 - 4 ft tall

We have climbing roses on the front of the house, Ian - they go right up to the roof.

These poor pink ones either grow up above the vine, or they can't flower! I don't prune them for obvious reasons, or of course deadhead them.

We've just ordered a grape vine and a viburnum......

Oooh!! Which Viburnum??

Errrrrr hold on while I go and check....................................... Phew, I'm back, Bodnantense Dawn. Any good?

beautiful

Yes, Ian - lovely scented flowers in the winter! You'll enjoy that. :-))

Oooh goodie ! Lol Thank you, I do like good news :~))

Hmmm. a grape vine...what sort...and why? They're not easy to cope with, Ian...

Oh dear! Well why is the easiest, Carol has always wanted one! ! !
As for which sort well hang on again and I'll go and look...............................................................................I'm back again, It says 3ft Fire grape vine vitis brandt. Its rare apparently? ? ?

OK - I suspect you'll be asking questions on GOY about how to deal with this! My vines are all ornamental, and yours is, I believe, the real thing...so I can't help, I'm afraid!

I hope your weather is good/warm enough for grape-growing, Ian!

Hmmmm It certainly was'nt this morning, Brrrrrrrrr proper chilly it was. Lol :~))

It might survive in the greenhouse though! ! !

A lot of people do grow their grape vines in greenhouses, Ian!

Did you have wind and rain like us?? A really 'orrible day! YUK!!

We've had a couple of 'up and down' days if you know what I mean. Hot and muggy but overcast with plenty of VERY heavy showers/pownpours to boot! ! !

It certainly wasn't warm here, Ian! Brrrr....on with my fleece again!

Carol has just reminded me it was freezing here this morning and if you go back a few comments well I must have forgotton about that? Its certainly warm enough now! ! !

I do hope your grape vine will be happy, Ian....they do need warmth to produce any grapes. I expect it will be dormant very soon.

I was thinking of keeping it indoors over the winter. In the house I mean.

I've been featured Spritz. well one of my photo's has :~)))))))))

Where?? where??

Back to the grape vine. Not a good idea (in the house). They do need to go dormant, I know that much! I think you need someone who grows grapes to give you some REAL advice...

I've been featured on my photo of my strawberry bed.
I'll ask a question on here first and see where we go from there
