No blooms!! -Reply

Welcome to the list Mia, good to hear from those of
you who are nearer to spring than we are in the US!

I don't have the answer to question about your
non-blooming Charles Austin.  But I share your love
of the old roses and English roses.  Do they
normally do well in your climate?  Roses love water,
and I always picture Australia pretty dry...

Water and fertilizer works wonders for nearly
everything.  Start a regular fertilizing regime after
your last possible freeze date (does it freeze at all
where you are?).

I bet with spring coming on where you are, you've
got the garden fever!  We're all slowing down
"topside" in the US, but I live in a fairly mild area
and still have many roses blooming.  The hybrid
musks, particularly, thrive in this cool fall weather.

Enjoy your spring!

For mine is just a little old-fashioned garden where
the flowers come together to praise the Lord and
teach all who look upon them to do likewise.

Could anyone help me with a yellow Charles Austin
which
has never bloomed? I moved it this year and it is
very healthy, but no
flowers.In its previous possie it was sending long
canes up, but not
anymore.It is about 2 years old.My favourite roses
are old fashioned and
David Austins.We have a climbing Souvenir De La
Malmaison near our front
tap, which is powering on in its second year, after
hardly blooming in its
first.Has anyone else found that?
Anyway, bye for now
Mia
