Lovely colour

Love the David Austin old roses. The colour is super.

I was going to go for Darcy Bussell, which is a similar colour but opted for this one in the end. Ive noticed the greenfly are moving in on one of my roses in the front garden already!

Ooohhh Noooo! Do you spray? If so what with?

Dont laugh - I just squish them with my fingers if I catch them early enough. There's a few too many on there to do that, it really grosses me out! So Ill do the washing up liquid spray, which is supposed to stop them reproducing...ughhhh.. If that doesnt work Ill use a chemical but I try not to. Hoping the ladybirds will move in.

I just wondered incase my Alan Titchmarsh roses become infested. They are looking really good at the moment - lots of lovely fresh leaves and probably exactly what green/black fly are looking for! :o(

Just keep a good watch on them and catch them early Petal :-))

Oh my, you have my favourite rose, an excellent climber, I have 2 of them. Isn't the scent divine...:))) it is vigorous and have tons of blooms too :)))

When did this one move in??? Lol

Oh thats good to know Michaella. I just liked the look of it, I really like scented roses. I was going to put it in a pot but I will rethink that now.
Willi I got it in the Wyevales sale- all DA roses half price in January.

I shall take a picture of both of mine to give you an idea how big it will get, they will need support too.

Ok thanks Mich, I will be guided by you.
