That’s encouraging. Here the ground is so wet, it’s going to weeks to dry out. 🫤

‘Cornelia’ hybrid musk #rose and friends. Endless rain, a swamp-like garden - it’s a challenge to remain positive, reminding myself it’s just 25 days to meteorological spring!
Blue sky and sunshine this morning - hope it’s the same for everyone. #RoseWednesday 🌱

Oh January! What a long month you have been! Pleased to see you are making an effort with some weak and watery sunshine. Hope it’s the same for everyone. #roses 🌱

For #ThrowbackThursday it’s Bright and Breezy, and Simply the Best, seen at #rhswisley last September.
Have a good day everyone, take care, stay dry if you can. #roses 🌱

Four pink ladies for #RoseWednesday
A Whiter Shade of Pale, Sweet Pretty, Felicia, Eustacia Vye.
We have a brief respite from rain today, which will allow the sitting water to soak away. Hope you’re all safe and dry. Take care. #roses 🌱

Have just been reminded that this is the last Sunday in endless January. Mustn’t wish our lives away, but I for one will be pleased to start a new month. Happy Sunday everyone, have a good day.
Little trouper ‘Perle d’Or’ flowering in mid-October. #roses 🌱

Today’s #rose post is ‘Felicia’ a beautiful stalwart in this garden, as was Charlie Button. My handsome boy cat and one of my assistant gardeners, went over the rainbow 🌈 yesterday, this post is dedicated to him. 2010 -2026. 🌱

Beyond dreary isn’t it. My garden is like one big water feature! Or maybe a swamp! 😬

Looks like a rather wet #RoseWednesday for many of us. 🫤

Dreary grey skies, even more rain forecast, seemingly endless worrying & depressing world news… not what we needed on #BlueMonday
In a valiant attempt to cheer us up here’s Golden Beauty, Abbeyfield Gold, Honey Bee Mine and Golden Celebration.
Take care everyone. #roses 🌱

#ThrowbackThursday to Rose of the Year 2024 ‘Meteor’, the petals deepening in colour in bright sunlight.
Nonstop rain here today - little chance of sunlight!

Mine is a clay garden, it will recover - the shrubs and roses don’t mind! My crab apple booked for pruning at the end of the month.

True, which is a good thing. My garden is waterlogged. The last crabapples falling as a soggy mess on the gravel path. 😬
