Funny - Voodoo is budded out & ought to put on quite a show the next few days. Blackspot is confined to the lowest leaves on the branches.
Almost all the roses had buds opening which have become mush-balls. Time to prune & wait for the next round.
I don't mean to complain - the rain is good in that everything is green, and time spent watering is minimal. Well, not until July/August which is when our summer truly starts. Sometimes, it's August only, LOL. I can grow terrific lettuces, cabbages & potatoes, though.
We work with the weather we get - it's the only way to approach the garden with sanity. But I so look forward to the roses each year, and it is disappointing when the results are meager. Hope is born in the garden.....
And which white rose is tantalizing with its fragrance, Steve?
I just bought Pope John Paul, and another white - Innocencia. Love the fragrant ones - they add another layer of enjoyment.
