Nice roses, G, but the cryptic titles are concerning - hope things ok? (nm)

Been/seen what I've been to see recently & you'd go on gardening leave...permanently..

Thx for clarifying - funnily enough I kindof have gone on gardening leave - from gardening (well, market gardening) and back to regular gardening. Can't pretend I'm saving the world any more, but it allows time to smell the roses again. Those look like nice, old fashioned garden roses - hope they have a nice scent and aren't all flounce and no trousers, so to speak? Hawthorn not out yet up here, but we managed a Beltane fire and watched the moon come up, which was nice.

Thanks for the incantation, and good luck with the drain

...I started growing them a couple of years back and they are gorgeous and make me smile everytime I look at them, they really cheer me up!
They need protected from slugs when sprouting, until the stems toughen up...I use empty plastic pop bottles cut in three parts, very effective.
They need plenty of water though, they are thirsty big buggers!

The just step back and bask in the compliments from your neighbours!
