All the roses that are flowering at the moment are really enjoying all the rain that we are having. The climbing and rambling roses especially are much better than they usually are, maybe they need more rain than we normally have. Usually I don’t water them at all, I feel that they have to get their roots down deep and use the water that my heavy clay hangs on to, but the difference is something I might have to think about. I will start with the huge R. Mulligani which has climbed up the dead oak.
