How the garden has grown!

You have some beautiful roses and not a sign of black spot, I bet its perfume heaven.
The Rapsody in blue with the blue geraniums and white delphiniums are a lovely combination.
You really have got greenfingers and have made a wonderful success with all your rose cuttings.

I cant believe you grew all those roses from cuttings!! Thats incredible Rose! What an achievement...they are so big, and flowering so well. I'm really amazed. I've never tried to propagate roses, but recently the dog knocked a branch off my 'Perennial Blue', so I made cuttings and put them in a terra pot. They actually look ok so far, so I'm hopeful of them taking.

Rose, mine must be the Cottage Rose, it is just the same as yours! Thanks for showing me.

Your other roses are beautiful, what a lovely selection. Princess of Wales is such a delicate colour. I too love 'Gertie!' What a scent!!

Absolutely lovely. Well done on taking cuttings and growing them so well. I snapped a shoot off one of my roses two years ago and tried to get it to grow and it did! The only trouble is I forgot which rose it came off so am patiently waiting for the colour to appear, buds on it so hopefully it will not be too long a wait now. lol.

They are loving their new home Rose, must be wonderful wandering amongst them, I think the second photo is really lovely....

What beautiful roses! I am growing roses for the first time and your beautiful blooms have really given me something to try and copy. I also have Gertrude Jekyll I hope she ends up looking as good as yours.

Thanks Stroller ! I make a point of spraying at monthly intervals for black spot, but occasionally one or two still get it !
Thanks Karen ! I did most of the cuttings in the cold green house at the Cottage house , but you can dig a trench and put plenty of grit in in November and leave the "sticks" until spring and they will be well rooted by then! I use rooting powder too ! I still can't believe how quick they have all come on though ! They must love it here like we do !
Hello Chris , so...we have something else in common then, including our age ! Hahaa!
I think Gertrude Jekyll and Just Joey have the most powerful scent !
Thanks Barbara. I lost some of my labels when we moved here , but managed to work out which was which when they flowered, so I'm sure you will !
Thanks Sue ! All the neighbours comment about the roses when they pass the house ! I'm pleased with the Rhapsody and geraniums this year too ! Last year we weren't here in June and I missed most of the flowering time ! The Delphiniums have been fantastic this year and I actually remembered to stake them this time !
I'm sure it will Waddy ! Have you room for many roses? I can't believe how many I have now ! I just can't resist ! l

I would have said I hadn't much room at all rose, but when I counted I realised I have 12 although 2 are in very large pots. I started with Ruby Wedding, just because I love it's rich red colour. Just Joey is also I my collection :)
