I'm standing at the top of the rose garden looking northwards to Mt. Lofty range in
the far distance - as you can see there are a LOT of roses between me and the view!
I love this time of year when the roses and leaves are freshly opened, though this
year we had so much rain the weeds got away from us and we had an outbreak of
black spot. We have sprayed twice now, and new leaves will soon replace those
that were diseased and fell off. Not all roses were affected by bs. Interesting
to compare the tough roses with those who can't handle dampness.
