It’s so lovely when we receive emails confirming that our roses have travelled safely to some of the more remote destinations such as Toowoomba, QLD and my reason for sharing this, is that I would highly recommend such a climbing rose support for the likes of Nahema …
Hi - Just wanted to let you know I was impressed with the condition of my roses when they arrived after a 5 day transit in the summer heat from Victoria to Toowoomba QLD.

They’ve now been in the ground for a month and flowering profusely and so healthy. We have the 6 Nahemas planted, 3 each side of the arbor as per pic – will send you an update when they’ve reached the top ?

Thanks again,
Bron

Q. What do you call an old snowman?
A. Water!
CLIMBING ROSES …
We love to be able to consult with customers when it comes to planting climbing roses … there are sooooo many variables which must be considered and to give you an idea of how important this is, let me suggest three of the most thorny but spectacular roses you could plant if you ever need to protect a boundary fence at your place or business property …
All these varieties are strong, robust growers and will astound you with their flowering display during spring/summer and modest flowering in autumn. Their purpose though is to scramble over a fence where nobody would dare entertain the thought of climbing!

I’ll share more information about climbing/pillar roses in weeks to come.

Q. Why does Santa go down the chimney?
A. Because it soots him!
Meantime, enjoy these wonderful weeks of amazing gardens filled with roses and remember to take your secateur with you each time you go to the garden – pick flowers for your home but most definitely remove all the spent blooms to ensure you get loads more flowers in months to come …

cheers from us all at Silkies Rose Farm and hope we enjoy a visit with you soon
