ROSE RAMBLER 29TH OCTOBER, 2020 – Hello Dear Rose Friends, as we revel in the glory of another magnificent rose season … ooh, aah all around the place; the fragrance, the absolute joy to be experienced at every turn. How lucky are we that we chose to grow roses and share them with all of you throughout these past 35 years … We never grow tired of sharing these lovely fragrances with others.
Hopefully, from 8th November, you’ll be able to come and enjoy the roses here at Clonbinane. Let’s all wait and see how it pans out. We’re looking forward to opening the gates and welcoming you here again! We’ll know more next week …
In the meantime, keep ordering roses from our online store, as we can post two roses in every box and then strap two boxes together. We recommend that you order FOUR ROSES to make posting super worthwhile! You really do get more value for your money when you do.

It’s been a week of pest and disease emails so let’s get down to earth with the critters and issues which may, because of this extremely wet season, prevail in your rose garden this season …
| "Dear Rose Doctor - Our roses were pruned in July and fertilized with cow manure. They were then covered in Aphids, we sprayed regularly with soap solution. Now have severe dye back, and very little growth. Can you offer any solution to our 30 sick patients please? Yours Sincerely - Margaret (Forster NSW)" My response:
"Hi - Just wondering what is the best treatment for white scale or mealy bugs (not sure what it is but it’s stuck all over the stems of my roses. Never had trouble in the past with this but this year seems to be a problem. Thanks, Annette" A little giggle for today... |
