Lovely Austin roses

These are lovely together.

Thank you Ange, their scent is fabulous!

I can almost imagine the fragrances. Very pretty colours too, Janey. Complimented by the pretty vase too.

Thank you Kate... I'm very fond of this vase..

Should have added I like the vase, too!

I bet you can hardly resist painting this ... lovely 🙂.

A lovely display.

Thank you girls! It's very windy here today, so pleased I brought them in..:))

They are gorgeous and all go well with each other.

They do..:o) I haven't quite got the knack of pruning the climbers, not the same as ramblers.

I have my climbers cut right back Janey for winter to prevent disease . I know a lot of people dont as the following year most if the growth goes into going upwards and then the flowers but its always worked for me.

Do you Dawn? I may try that. What I need is more growth on the sparse lower stems, so would like to have quite a few horizontal branches. It's like I need to start again with them..

Yes I do have them cut right back to prevent wind damage and the air circulates around them stops disease .
One year I had one cut to the floor as it kept getting rust I thought it will either kill or cure it several shoots appeared the following year from the ground and no more rust either.

That's what I shall do then. Hopefully stop the black spot too..thanks Dawn..

Your very welcome Janey.

So pretty the jug suits them perfectly ,I'm guessing Lottie is in the photo :o)) ..

Haha Amy, yes couldn't resist these when I saw them!
