My rose garden is surrounded by eucalyptus (gum) trees as seen here. No matter from
which angle one looks you can see these trees. They often have a koala or two calling out
to each other, though it can be difficult to work out which tree they are in.
We don't expect to see any rose blooms before a decent rain arrives to energise the bushes into
flowering. We don't force them into flowering as the blooms aren't particularly good
during our summer weather, it is far too hot for them, they scorch in the heat,
or are forced to open too early. Best to wait for the cool autumnal weather in April/May.
