I can’t ever recall such a good year. I thought last year was good, but the bushes are absolutely laden, so much so that I’ve had to prop up a couple of bush types because the buds/blooms are so heavy.

I must take some photos and try to post them.

I’m sure others are having just as good roses this year - I’ve seen a Madam Carriere (sp) somewhere, which I have but because I planted it in the wrong place it is never allowed to get to its full magnificence which is a shame.

I’ve just taken a couple, the photos don’t really reflect the amount of blossom.

These are Teasing Georgia (yellow) and Olivia (pink) . But I do have many other varieties - mostly climbing from white through to darkest red.

Those roses are beautiful. All of ours are blooming well this year with most having new red shoots coming out from the base. Given that they have only been in the ground for four years they’re doing well, I’m feeding them with blood, fish and bone in spring then a weekly liquid feed as advised by a specialist rose seller. Mine arent as big as the ones in these photos but they are doing very well. Our peonies are also full of huge blooms and it all looks so pretty.
