Hello Dear Rose Friends,
At the close of our first month of spring, there's an abundance of roses flowering all around us. … Almost flowering!.... here at Clonbinane as we are still getting very cold nights.
Thank you to everyone who has sent pictures of their beautiful roses which I store in a folder for future reference. Some of you may be experiencing the same issue as Henry.
We’ve had abundant rain across many districts and yes, Botritis will affect rose flowers so it’s important that you act quickly. Remove all spoiled blooms and apply the organic rose management program as soon as weather / time permits as the disease can spread down into the crown/bud union and this can spell disaster for your plants!

It seems like too much of a good thing can cause issues. We love the rain but yes, it does, unfortunately, damage rose blooms.

We can finally say ‘it’s a wrap’ … all our roses are potted thanks to the magnificent team of assistants who work alongside us. We’ll have to celebrate the amazing efforts during this past winter with a special dinner – it has been an extraordinary time for all of us!
Weeping roses are now available for pick-up so we’ll contact you accordingly as Regional Victoria opens up for travel.
Please don’t visit us here at Clonbinane unless it is legal to do so. We urge our customers to be vaccinated and well when you visit. Our gardens will be flowering from mid-November until mid-May so there’s heaps of time to organize a visit.
Meantime, enjoy your freedom from Lockdown, be happy … Cheers from Gra, Diana, Mooi and the flowers at Clonbinane …
