Red red rose

The red rose in front of the house is looking particularly gorgeous this year. We pruned it quite heavily – I think it was around March time – which it must have liked, as it’s flourishing. It does have a little bit of black spot, which I will treat, but it’s looking stunning.

It’s such a deep red.

This is the smaller rose, to the right of the door, which we had to dig up when we were laying the hot water system pipes a couple of years ago. I was always concerned as to whether or not it would survive, but again it’s doing wonders. It looks so velvety.
