    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!

    What beautiful roses. We have a rose in our front garden, it was here when we moved in a year ago and so far all I've done is dead head it and our neighbours said it's never flowered so well. I recently underplanted it with some small salvia as I heard it can help with the blackspot, so we shall see. I imagine the poor thing hasn't been fed since it was planted however many years ago, so I will do that too! It's a bit misshapen as it's not been pruned well, but it's still producing lovely blooms. I was going to get rid of it when we moved in, but ended up leaving it for the flowering season and am glad I kept it, so that is good advice about leaving it to see what it does for a bit!
