Desdemona

My Mother’s Day rose Desdemona arrived safely and just on time this morning! I had a position in the border ready for her, and with the addition of some good horse manure I settled her in.
She looks like a good plant with some great buds so now for the exciting wait for the first flowers to show. Thank you Gilly!
I did some more weeding around the other roses, giving them some fertiliser pellets and mulch. I noticed some of them have greenfly already! So I gave them a gentle spray with some very diluted washing up liquid which generally sorts them out. The ground is pretty dry at the moment but I dare not wish for rain!
