    Roses can be a joy to behold, In recent years have a purchased number of new roses which are more disease resistent. Florabunda 'Lovestruck' roses which flower from May until Sept, 'Scent of Heaven' which is a lovely climbing rose. I've made many mistakes ranging from not pruning my florabunba in March ...as a result I had to carry a builders bag around with me whilst deadheading! I've recently removed one of my old roses which only flowered for a short time and didn't have any scent.... as you've mentioned before plants need to earn their keep else one needs to be ruthless. Planning to make some more purchases as bareroots later in the year and move my climber which is currently located at the back of my border.... always put scented flowers in locations where they can be appreciated people. Keep up the good work, i do love the efforts you go to interview the experts

    Thanks for filming this. I'm just getting into rose growing, and I learnt a huge amount from this video. I have planted an old -fashioned rose called Royal Jubilee - a lovely dusty pink with peony type flowers. It's raining heavily as I type this - which is why I'm inside watching TH-cam gardening videos. If the buds rot on this beautiful rose, at least I'll understand why!
