I like the look of this rose - I am a stripy rose convert xx

Anyone for Raspberry Ripple? The King’s Rose that is. Every bloom is a surprising swirl of pink and creamy white petals.
Bred by David Austin Roses.
Happy Sunday everyone, take care. #roses 🌱

Morning, it is still very dry here despite having some recent rain. I was watering plants in pots yesterday. Have a good day.

Today’s favourite rose - Wild Edric - this rose is always a great performer #roses #myroses #mygarden #gardening

So tell me, when did you first start to suspect you had too many tender plants that’s needed to over winter in your tiny conservatory…. (Room for a couple more I reckon…) #gardening #mygarden #blueskygardening

Today’s favourite rose - Sir Clough - a little past his best but I can’t throw the first stone on that one. #myroses #roses #mygarden #gardening

An after-work lawn mowing session makes me feel ahead of the weekend - also makes up for an office day where I’ve hardly moved from my desk #gardening #mygarden
