lol rosy dont be jealous .. its the climate

but thanks for the compliment

We got a little on the weekend and the garden has just come to life! We have water restrictions here still so it's hard with a pool to water every garden we have.

hi maree,

eyes for you in my opinion is a slow grower , it loves the sun , hates the shade .. in my opinion it is a healthy rose . no sign of mildew or blackspot .. mine was bought very very small, it is getting there . i had one bloom last year , but this year it is fantastic .. 5 blooms to come my way .. hahaha

and maree ive gotta say , the scent is amazing .. very fragrant

And may I add, one of the only roses who didn't succumb to the dreaded aphids on all my other roses! No black spot at all too.

yes rosy . the aphids dont seem to like eyes for you haha

out of 50 roses, only about less than 10 succumb to aphids.......it would be nice to know why this is so....

yeah would be good to know

John, I guess they are all HT's, is there a colour which succumb worse than others.

I guess I need to check that one out Dave,...but when I get them, there is no open blooms out,..only small buds...

I think you will find it a colour thing from memory at the start of the season then they change thier taste.

Thanks Jordan , i'm gonna have to get that rose , but , but where am i going to put it i wonder lol .......

is ur EFY.. Grafted ? rosy

I bought it bare rooted from Treloars (so I am not sure) it was such a skinny brown twig that I thought it was going to die. And now it's one of my most healthiest!

okay cool ,

mine its growing on its own roots

I would assume it has its own roots, but I guess I can't be sure? I am still new at this and can never tell.
