Love this rose, which has turned into a sort of pillar rose which always has a bloom or two on show. The possums help by keeping it off the roof. And Bruce is visiting this morning so there'll be lots of looking and talking on budding and pollinating!

Both grow very well together & I think the geums help the roses by keeping their roots cool, they use any excess moisture (rare thing these days LOL) & they let me know when the roses require water (by wilting slightly) well before the roses become stressed. The smaller growers don't take over & they add interest to the pots when the roses are dormant. The roses help keep the geums ...

Actually I have been trying the egg shell treatment for 2 years and can't really see any change in their growth, bloom and leaf colour. Two months ago I had two 15 litre buckets of surplus eggs at various stages from edable to the pop stage when broken. These were broken into the soil of 8" pots and then crushed.

So I had a small bag of 100 OP 'Westerland' seeds and I decided I wanted to experiment a little with them. The idea behind it was to see if the outer layer of the rose seed could be digested and remove the need to cold stratify the seeds... greatly reducing the time needed to bring about successive generations...
