Re: My roses and other plants


Can't say that I've noticed H and by the looks of it I shouldn't be able to miss it

It looks fascinating

Re: My roses and other plants


Your first rose has what is called Proliferation, they can remain as buds, or develop into stem bearing flowers, sometimes leaves...It can be caused by late frosts...sometimes a virus...

Re: My roses and other plants


Checked just now and one of them appears to be opening.

Should I cut them off or are they OK?

That's interesting.
Do you think the frost affects the tiny 'growing' cells and makes them forget they've already set off a flower bud, so they do it again? Don't think I've ever seen it but I'm not a rose expert by any means.
