@rosegardengems Hi Gemma, yes I think it must be the weather. Here in the UK we have had odd weather this year. It just looked so strange ! 🤔

@peterhaymaker7562 Hi Peter, she definitely has! I did a double take I couldn't work out what it was at first but she does have a yellow bloom 🤔

@gavinparry5426 Hi Gavin, Queen Bee I like that ! PB is a good offer what did you go for ?

@@soulgirlktf I ordered 'Queen Bee' Linda. All Jay Jay's fault for visiting Tantau! I'm billing him! 🤓

@@gavinparry5426 Lovely ! Sorry Gavin, I misunderstood, I thought you were re-naming my hybrid Liz with the yellow bloom I forgot there was a Queen Bee rose. That chap Jay Jay has a lot to answer for in everyone's garden he is a bad influence tempting us with all these amazing roses 🤩

@@soulgirlktf Indeed he is Linda! Queen Bee dispatched yesterday arrived today. Great service from PB. Lovely 🌹 I have invoiced Jay Jay!

@@gavinparry5426 haha rightly so too ! Enjoy your new rose🌹

@vorong2ru Hi, yes I think you are right, it must be weather related. I had an odd looking Timeless Pink bloom the other day too.

@nikkonch Hi Nik, yes very strange goings on haha I have no idea. Do you think it might be weather related or I could blame the landscapers dust ;) We are quite rural here with only a few sheep and cows nearby but who knows what's happening to the colour of my roses at the moment ?!

@wendybartlett6717 Hi Wendy, thank you yes I'm pleased with how it all went and I am so happy to be back in my garden again I really missed it. The Persian Rose I asked my neighbour and she said it's a type of dwarf Impatiens Balsamina she said she's always known it as Persian Rose but I'd never seen it before I saw it in her garden last year. She saved some seed for me which was fabulous because I was able to sow them earlier this year and that came in very handy because she didn't have any coming up herself this year so I could give her some plants back this spring from her own seed ! Which I love :) They seem to like sun or shade so very versatile plants and they will flower well into autumn, if you want some seed let me know or I could box a couple of plants up for you no problem as I am over run with pots of stuff at the moment, you would be doing me a favour ! How lovely your neighbours are enjoying your garden I bet they really appreciate all your hard work. My postie appreciates the garden he's a bit of a joker, nice chap he said the other day 'I've got a statement for you' handing me an envelope ' you've got a beautiful garden!' The weather is supposed to be improving so hopefully you can enjoy your lovely garden and of course the endless deadheading we have to do but like you I don't mind that job except the petunias in my baskets are a pain sometimes, I have to wear gloves or get in a sticky mess ! Take care xxx

@peterhaymaker7562 Hi Peter, thank you ! I'm so happy to get my garden back, can you tell ? Rural England is a lovely rose and such a wonderful perfume and it's pink of course :) You still have another one though if I remember rightly a quite magnificent one too, mine is only two years old so has a way to go yet but it is a stunner and I do love it. The Generous Gardener is a beautiful rose too, larger blooms you are lucky you can have both in your garden, that's lovely. The pots are an issue I know I have too many, I am reducing them but I had a lot of spring bulbs in pots also so maybe it looks worse than it is at the moment plus all the lilies and dahlias, as all the pots were kind of displaced from where they'd been on to the lawn - what am I saying !?! I have too many it's true I need to reduce them :) The thing is I like to squirrel them away when they've finished doing their thing as they look a bit unsightly when they die back so I just need a lot of pots ! Oh dear I'm sounding crazy now, Linda you have too many pots !!! 🤣Ghislaine will definitely appreciate a feed yes, I think she can be quite hungry she's a monster, she owns this garden LoL. Thanks for your lovely comments I hope you're enjoying your beautiful garden, the weather seems to be improving, take care.

Hi Linda, I was reading your reply and thought what is @@soulgirlktf taking about? Rural England???? Yes, I have two of them; what I took out was a Maid of Kent. Sorry to confuse you - my mistake. I had a lovely Maid of Kent, bred up the road, which I replaced with a The Generous Gardener, rightly or wrongly. I do have some lovely photos of my Maid of Kent. The 'Angel' is probably coming around to see me next week so I'll have to see how I can maybe send a picture of it when it was out in flower. Every year I say i'm going to grow less but somehow it doesn't seem to happen, pots included. Gislaine will get some food which I think she'll appreciate. She, like some of the others, is doing what actors do - taking a break or is it 'Resting'?. Yesterday I found some bulbs I knew I'd saved to be planted out last Autumn time and just couldn't find them. Concluded I'd thrown them away by mistake. Most still look OK so I'll stick them in the ground and see what happens. They all came out of pots. I could go on about the garden but won't, I'll just say, 'Bye for now'. Cheers, P.

@@peterhaymaker7562 Ah, Maid Of Kent now I understand. I'm sure The Generous Gardener will be a great choice for your garden it's such a beautiful rose, very elegant. I just fell in love with Maid Of Kent when I saw it down at David Austin's it was so impressive and I am drawn to that flower form. I do like the dainty cluster type roses and the effect of so many of them literally dripping in long panicles of double flowers it was really a sight to see looking up from beneath an archway, that's a couple of years ago now but when I bought this tall wooden arch recently I just had to get Maid Of Kent for it. I liked how pliable it appeared too, so training it shouldn't be too much of a battle for me but I might need some taller ladders ! I look forward to The Angel visiting you, I would love to see your photos of Maid Of Kent. Your garden is so wonderful we all want to see lots more of it, he will sort it out for you I'm sure. Ghislaine won't rest for long she'll be taking over your garden soon haha watch out :) Found bulbs are always good I found some in the garage at the start of the year that I'd lost and they were fine, it's always worth a try. Today I'm doing more tidy up around the garden, still have piles of stuff everywhere. I have staging and racks down by the shed which is behind the hedge in the back garden, full of plants to deal with and my toms are trying to escape from the greenhouse too so they need attention but it's all good the weather is being kind, have a lovely day, take care.

@@soulgirlktf Thanks for the email and I'm pleased I got the misunderstanding sorted out; my fault. Thanks too for all the nice comments. Do I miss my Maid of Kent I ask myself? Yes, it really was lovely. Was it a mistake to take it down? Possibly. Time will tell. The Generous Gardener has big shoes to fill. The quick Whizz around the garden here doesn't show all the rubbish I have and there's plenty of it. Looking forward to seeing The Angel again and what he has to help me with. Weather really nice here today so off outside now. I hope you have a good day in your lovely garden. Happiness is..........garden shaped. Cheers! P.

@Jay_Jay Hi Jay Jay, thanks so much ! I'm not sure about balanced but it's getting a bit tidier - still have too many pots to shift ! Re. the geraniums I think there are many, 100's even, of varieties some are more ground cover types like you mentioned and I do have some of those and some can grow quite tall. Yes the little display bike, I did have the soapwort in that earlier this year but I'm not sure what the heck happened to that pot, it's probably buried in a pile of stuff down by the shed haha that bike is another thing I need to shift, had it many years, it's just been abandoned by the fence when all the chaos started! Maid Of Kent I will definitely have to watch and keep in check. It's a magnificent display. I was stunned by it at David Austin's and the one at Kew is fabulous, I had to get it. I can appreciate it's only a once bloomer as you say but quite often those are the most spectacular performers, I am also planting a few clematis for additional interest in with it but if it grows too big for the arch I might have to send some of it over the arbour roof too haha. Sunny here again today, definitely being spoilt at the moment with the weather, hope you're enjoying your wonderful garden today, take care.

@Lin_Greenfinger Hi Lin, thank you so much, it's lovely to get back in to the garden again. Hope you get to enjoy your garden today, take care.

@jasonwoods4811 Hi Jason, thanks so much !

@@soulgirlktf I bet you are well happy now the work has been done, and you got your garden back

@@jasonwoods4811 I am Jason, I really missed my gardening. Hope you are enjoying your lovely garden, take care.

@@soulgirlktf My garden isn't as nice as yours, and I am enjoying today as the is out :D

@@jasonwoods4811 Your garden is great Jason, I'm so glad you are enjoying better weather, take care.

@nikkonch Hi Nik, thank you so much ! It's definitely deadhead season here now. My poor roses were crying out for a tidy up, the clematis too. It is so nice to be able to get to things in the garden again but still finding dust everywhere, probably will for a while yet. You should try a Sweet Honey cutting yes, it seems a super strong variety and like you say a powerhouse of flowers. Timeless Pink for the most part looks as it usually does, it's just that one bloom that has the apricot / pink look about it. I looked on Peter Beales site, I think that's where I bought it and they actually describe it as 'Light pink to apricot' but I've never seen that two tone effect on it before and it's always been a fairly solid shade of pink for me, I say always, I've only had it a couple of years. I can only think it's the weather or maybe it didn't like the landscapers dust haha. I know what you mean about butterflies my garden is normally full of them but at the moment there are just a few. We were expecting heavy rain the last 24 hrs but we've had barely a drop, the water barrels are very low, can't believe I'm actually saying that after all the rain we've had this year ! Hope you are enjoying your lovely garden, take care.

@gavinparry5426 Hi Gavin, thank you so much !

@mhubertcfi Hi thank you so much for watching. I'm so happy to hear you have a Ghislaine she is really lovely and soon she will be full of blooms for you. Hopefully you won't have long to wait, enjoy ! 🌹

@lengarcia7719 Hi, oh no, I'm so sorry to hear about your Bougie. I hope you can get another one, thanks for watching it's much appreciated.

@pitinannan Hi, thank you for watching it's much appreciated, happy gardening 🌹

@wendybartlett6717 Hi Wendy, yes it's so lovely of him he is definitely the Milk Tray Man I was so touched he is very kind we are showing our age now though I think those ads were the 70's or even earlier ! Takes me back Dallas, Charlies Angels.. The paving is going really well, soon be finished. My pots are still everywhere, I can't move they've done almost all the paving now except the parking space so every pot I own is out on the lawn or edge of beds etc LoL it looks like a mad person gardens here! I'm itching to get back in the garden but it's all blocked off still. They don't do the grout until it's all finished so have to wait to put anything back. All I can see are deadheads everywhere but I can't get to them at the mo. Hope you're enjoying your lovely garden this weekend, dry here a bit breezy today, take care xxx

@@soulgirlktf Hi Linda, Yes, we are showing our age remembering the Milk Tray man. There were some good adverts back in the day and I used to like the P.G. Tips monkeys. The youngsters in work used to give me a pitying look when I told them that we had to get up to change t.v channels. I remember being sent to the next door neighbours as their daughter would phone our house then the mum or dad would come in our house and take the call. This happened regularly until the neighbours got their own phone installed. Unbelievable when you think of that today. I can understand your frustration at being unable to do your deadheading. I had to stop myself doing it in a garden centre on Wednesday! Won't be long until you get your garden back to the way that you want it. The upheaval will all be worth it. Take care Linda. xxx

@@wendybartlett6717 haha Wendy you re so right, I remember as a little girl having to stand at the side of the TV with an aerial and not move for 10 mins because the picture would go off during the news ! crazy now to think of that and I remember a couple of neighbours at our house for the wedding of Princess Anne in 1973 because we had a colour TV. The garden centre deadhead I can never resist either ! Hope you had a good weekend, it's sunny here today and has been dry and sunny here all weekend so made a nice change although I think further south they've had quite a bit of wet weather, forecast this week is for more rain I think spreading up the country, oh joy more rain 😥 Enjoy your garden if you can, take care xxx

@gavinparry5426 Hi Gavin, he has indeed ! I read his comments about 'we'll know soon enough because I know an expert who is getting one' when he wasn't certain if what he had was Porcelain Parfuma or Pink Perfection. I assumed that was you because I know what an expert you are, I thought he meant you'd ordered one too and we'd soon know if you thought it looked like his or not ! haha he is very kind it's a beautiful rose and I really appreciate it. 🌹

@@soulgirlktf No, not me Linda. I'm pleased he sent it you. Enjoy 👍🌹 Your Indian Sandstone slabs are looking great. I've had 2 prices on something similar but still debating it etc. Not cheap as you are fully aware. ATB Gav

@@gavinparry5426 Thank you Gavin I will. Yes these are 25mm Raj Green which isn't green at all but there you go. It seems to compliment the house and the rural location well, I did look at a more modern tile like porcelain but think here with the cows and sheep just not the look we were going for and my gardening style is more cottagey. They seem good quality and the thickness of the stone does matter I think, so we went for the 25mm stones hopefully they should last but yes with the labour on top it isn't cheap. Something we knew when we bought the house needed doing as the paving had been added to with bits of this and that over many years and the different levels and some slippy surfaces etc were a nightmare especially in the winter. Shame you're not local as I can highly recommend these guys, very particular everything has to be just right and I'm so grateful they are neat and tidy too.

@@soulgirlktf Great choice and it looks a great job Linda. Well worth it and as you say goes well with the house etc. Give us a tour when finished! ATB Gav

@jasonwoods4811 Hi Jason, he really is, what a lovely surprise. Hope you're enjoying your garden this weekend.

@@soulgirlktf I wish I was, too much rain :(

@@jasonwoods4811 Aaw that's not good, the weather this summer has been dreadful, hopefully it will improve Jason now we're in July, we need it !

@@soulgirlktf I hope the weather gets better , hope you are doing ok :D

@Lin_Greenfinger Hi Lin, it's a bit complicated I tried to explain it to Nik but I think everyone's brain is hurting now ! haha including mine🙃 He thought he had received Porcelain Parfuma and was sending me the same rose BUT one of his viewers alerted him to the possibility it was an imposter but by this time he'd already arranged for me to be sent one. I got the correctly named rose he thought he'd got but he was looking at the imposter so turns out I haven't got the rose he initially received and thought I would like ! This company he ordered from have no idea the headaches they have caused us as now everyone tries to understand what happened !!

Hi Lin yes it did get very confusing sadly. I’ll try and explain. I received “porcelain Parfuma” a few months back. When it flowered recently it had great fragrance, a bright pink, very very fragrant and I thought it was porcelain Parfuma. I also thought Linda would love it because I know she loves a fragrant pink rose. So I ordered one for her. In the coming 2 days it became apparent that my “porcelain Parfuma” could be a traitor rose. I emailed golden valley and they sent me a new one for free which I also happened to receive today. I’m hoping that makes sense now. Either way the important thing to remember is, Linda’s had flowers on. Mine didn’t! :)

@nikkonch Hi Nik, it was such a lovely surprise, he is very kind ! I know, the story is a bit complicated isn't it. I love you Father's Day story, we gardeners are always trying to justify the plant boxes that show up haha I was frantically trying to remember what on earth I'd ordered I was definitely protesting my innocence :) Jay Jay ordered Porcelain Parfuma but he was sent another rose in error, he did a video about it earlier this week, it may be Pink Perfection I don't think he's sure what they sent him. My understanding is, when he saw it he thought I would really like it, the perfume the colour etc so he very kindly arranged for them to send me one also as a surprise gift BUT after he'd arranged this he discovered it was in fact a different rose to Porcelain Parfuma, one of his viewers pointed out to him it didn't look right. So he is looking at the imposter thinking I would really like it, arranges for them to send one here, only to discover what he's arranged to be sent to me isn't what he received at all and wanted me to have ! haha I told you it was complicated 🤔 but it's such a fabulous surprise and I absolutely love it !

@@soulgirlktfhi nik yes I just answered the same thing under Lins comment pretty much.

@peterhaymaker7562 Hi Peter, Isn't it just, such a lovely surprise, it's beautiful I really love it. It's very kind of Jay Jay.

@wendybartlett6717 Hi Wendy, it seems to be going well so far, they did remark 'you've got a lot of pots haven't you' The trouble is when you have to shift them all at once it really looks like I have a problem and need help weening myself off haha. Deadheading doesn't always work with fingers, I know what you mean I usually use snips but some roses let you snap some heads off. It's hard to resist when you're so close up with a camera and at the time I had a lot of deadheading to do :) I enjoyed some quiet time over the weekend tidying the roses up and faffing about just me and the birds, it was nice. Hope you had a good weekend? It's a bit drizzly off and on today a miserable day here but the workmen are keeping going. I have a nice new path to my greenhouse today which is wonderful the old one was a complete dippy doo all over and very dodgy in wet weather full of puddles and an ice rink in winter ! How sad am I the best thing is my new greenhouse path haha I hope you had a lovely weekend in your garden we just need a bit of sunshine to come back now, take care xxx

@@soulgirlktf Hi Linda, You should see the number of pots that I have and everyone comments on them. I was even at a garden centre and my neighbours were there and said, "Are you buying more pots?" I actually tidied up my messy corner (where I just chuck things) and put all the seed trays together and grouped the pots in their sizes. Linda, I was ashamed at how many I've accumulated over the years. I keep telling my family that they don't realise how many pots I use when I'm pricking out seedlings but seeing them stacked up in size order has made me realise that I have a hoarding problem. I'll have to look for a garden centre that can recycle them. Your new path to the greenhouse sounds good and a lot safer. I've got a decking area and I'm going to break my neck on it one of these days. Hope you have a good week and let's hope we get some sunshine. I've been in and out all weekend dodging the rain showers. Take care. xxx

@@wendybartlett6717 Wendy I think we are plant pot/seed tray twins ! haha BUT come the winter/spring time we'll use everything up and be scratching around for anything that will hold a bit of compost for those precious seeds LoL happens every year ! I read a sign somewhere that said There are two types of people in the world those that have 18,000 packets of seeds and those that have zero packets of seeds ! I know which category I'm in haha I bet you'll be glad of those seed trays next year, I've bagged loads up in a bin liner and hung them up in the shed because the shelves in my potting shed are full of seed trays how ridiculous am I ?! xxx

@hungariancottageadventure77 Hi, thanks so much and thanks for watching, hope you're enjoying your garden.

@kenvoong Hi Ken, thanks. Yeah everything is bunched up tightly together at the moment so strolling around my garden which is something I do every morning with my coffee is not possible, dead ends everywhere haha but that's okay it's only temporary.

If you tell me you get scent from that maid of Kent I will not be happy. And if you see a second flush I will be even more unhappy!:) 😂😂😂

@Jay_Jay Thanks Jay Jay, it's a mess at the moment but it's going well so hopefully another week to 10 days I get my garden back :)

@@Jay_Jay Why? P.

@@Jay_Jay haha I saw Maid Of Kent at David Austin's and what a sight to see that was ! plus I liked it's pliability for training on to a structure so it's been on the list for two years. I read a blog last year about another magnificent one at Kew so this new arch has to have it. It's going in ground so hopefully it will be happy there, it's south facing. 🤞

@Lin_Greenfinger Thanks Lin, we're getting there, they are doing a good job and they are neat and tidy which helps. I feel for you in the same boat as me, it's not ideal is it when the garden is full of flowers but we had to postpone this work which was supposed to be Jan/Feb because Lewie was not well so they fit us in where they could with their schedule. Hopefully as you say it will be worth it, I hope all goes well with your patio. Enjoy the quiet days when you can ! Take care.

@jasonwoods4811 Thanks Jason.

@@soulgirlktf Welcome Linda

@nikkonch haha Nik, maybe I keep the cement mixer ? I could do something arty with roses and clematis spilling out of it ! The first week has gone well. I hope you are enjoying your wonderful garden, the weather today has been quite wet here I'm hoping for better tomorrow.

@@soulgirlktf Actually the cement mixer idea sounds interesting - it would make your garden unique - you could be known locally as "the lady with the cement mixer in her garden" or perhaps your blunt northern neighbours would choose some word other than "lady"? I'm not sure I was "enjoying" my garden today Linda. It was quite warm, and I had a lot of plants (flowers to be) grown from seed in the greenhouse and had to start planting them out, some in hard dry clay (no rain here) and some in the softer new bed where I will be planting roses in the autumn. Then I dug over some of the (hard, dry) ground in the greenhouse to plant dwarf beans in there, as I do each year - and each year I am bemused to find stones in that same piece of ground despite having cleared it of stones every previous year - I think the mice must be carrying stones into the greenhouse during the winter - but why? Did Douglas Adams get it right in Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy when he suggested that the mice were actually conducting experiments on human beings? Are they doing this to see how I react?

@@nikkonch Oh you have been busy, hard dry clay and no rain is not an easy job. We gardeners do like a challenge don't we ?! I like your mice idea very much you could be on to something there:) Today is dry weather here so I've had an early start and a catch up with my garden, mostly weeding and deadheading but up close faffing is what I've missed and the garden looks, albeit a total mess, tidier if that make any sense at all haha. Enjoy the rest of your weekend, take care.

@peterhaymaker7562 Hi Peter, yes it's been quite wet here today, one of those grey drizzly days. The garden is a bit of a mess but the builders are working well so hopefully shouldn't be too long like this. Sounds like you could do with some rain now, I hope you're enjoying your garden, June is almost out and I'm gardening in a fleece and a rain coat ! haha, take care have a good weekend.

@gavinparry5426 Thanks Gavin.

@michelleburt3946 Hi Michelle, thank you for watching, that is a rose that was here when we bought the house 2 years ago so I'm not sure who it is as we never met the previous owner to ask. I did think it could be Sophie's Perpetual but I'm not sure now that it is, she's sort of earned the title 'Sophie aka Gorgeous' ! I wish I could give you a better answer but I just don't know, thanks again for watching it's very much appreciated.

I hope you are enjoying your garden, take care.

@peterhaymaker7562 Hi Peter, thank you for your lovely comments, Ghislaine is lighting up my garden at the moment and with all this sunshine we are having she has decided to be mostly whites and creams now. The blackbirds follow me all over the garden they are very interested in all the goings on and they certainly get their steps in as they walk and hop around far more than they fly, sometimes we almost collide haha I cannot imagine losing taste/smell it must be very difficult, I do enjoy the scent in the garden it's very uplifting. I don't know where I would be without my garden. The cold is almost gone thank you, I had just taken a couple of day nurse tabs as I started the tour and I think they definitely helped me, I'm not one for meds but this cold has been a bit of a stinker.

@nikkonch Thanks Nik, scent I think is different for everyone. I don't have wisteria so I'll take your word on that ! Many cannot detect Sweet Honey, so you are in good company. Yes I've noticed Sweet Honey turning pink too, the weather and temperature can alter colour, Sophie AKA Gorgeous (unknown rose) but that name has stuck, she had some very pale pastel pink blooms on her last year and that looked really odd as the other half of the shrub was the darkest pink :) Hope you are enjoying good weather in your lovely garden this week, take care.

Chantal Thomass is a pretty rose with a wonderful fragrance and she is on the pink side of apricot - sorry I'm not helping ! I hope you're enjoying the lovely weather, I bet your garden smells amazing right now, take care.

Not all my roses have a scent, I know some people don't entertain a rose that has no or little scent , I sometimes wish I could do that, however for me a beautiful rose is hard to resist even without scent. We are indeed having some great sunny days helping our roses, and I'm sure the same as you, it's such a blessing to walk in the garden and have the different scents waft around. I am not able to distinguish the different scents like some, all I can do is take a sniff and exclaim Wonderful:)

@@Gez_rosa_newby I feel the same, not all my roses are scented but the majority are and I do enjoy a good sniff, it's uplifting. It doesn't matter what the scent is if you are enjoying it Gez, then that's all that matters you don't need to be able to identify notes as long as you appreciate it and you obviously do very much.

@wendybartlett6717 Hi Wendy, thank you for your lovely comments. Ghislaine is very tidy she doesn't drop petals everywhere and she is almost thornless too so you don't get any nasty bites I've had a few this week in the garden from other roses with thorns half inch long, the back of my left hand looks like I've been in a fight ! My fault no gloves. I should dig one of Ghislaine's many children up for you, I think I have over done it with Ghislaine's now she's everywhere ! I couldn't think of a better home than your garden. The snapdragons, the taller ones, I did last year. I left them in the ground they came back this year, they are huge now, they are almost as big as a rose haha how did that happen? I did do some from seed this year but they are tiny in comparison, such a shame yours didn't germinate but they will no doubt come up when you are not expecting it. The landscapers are working well they are very neat and tidy which is a wonderful surprise, you always imagine the worse don't you but so far I'm delighted, they've started on the patio today it looks very different already.

@wendybartlett6717 Hi Wendy, hailstones ?! Crikey this weather ! Right now the sky here is black ! Heavy rain is forecast any minute, we have had so much rotten weather but the weatherman said summer might happen tomorrow here so I'm pinning all my hopes on Wednesday ! I think we're all sick of it now aren't we? It chucked it down yesterday just before I did the vid. She stood up to it so well and still looks good today so maybe she will be okay with lots of rain. Flaming June yep flaming rain more like ! Flaming needing the heating on in June 🥶what the heck ! xxx

@@soulgirlktf You're so right Linda. It is bloody cold and I'm so tempted to put the heating on. Never known a June (or year) like it. I keep saying it can only get better then something else is thrown at us. x

@rosegardengems Hi Gemma, sorry it was so short. I just wanted to get a quick vid of her because we had such a heavy downpour earlier it really bounced down and it's her first ever bloom I didn't want to miss it. She is a really lovely peachy/pink colour. 🍑

⁠@@soulgirlktfThe colour of that rose was unique, I like it! I have the same feeling yesterday, I saw my rose cuttings which some are successfully growing and one has a bud with opening exposing the colour. I cannot guess the name of that rose, I’m not so orderly in putting name tags, I liked to be surprised. A lovely day to you!🌹🌹🌹

@@rosegardengems Cuttings are addictive haha they are lots of fun to do. I hope the weather was good with you today and you got chance to enjoy your lovely garden, it's been dry today here but we have heavy rain forecast any time now !😱 take care 🌺🌹🏵
