Which geranium is this?

Thanks for the help,

I know pelargonium are tender, I just thought the flower on this one I have looked more hardy geranium, but looking at the leaves they actually look more on the 'fleshy' tender side.. I am assuming therefore it's tender, I'll have a look around for hardy geraniums!

Hi, I was just wondering which variety of geranium this photo shows?  I would like to grow some hardy varieties, but how do you tell between the tender bedding type and the perennials?

Thank you for the advice, that sounds nice and straightforward!  I shall get to it asap.

Out of interest when is usually the best time to move a rose?  As I assumed it was best to get it bedded into a new spot before the worst of winter sets in (although I hear arctic temps and snow are on the way for the next few weeks?!)

Moving a rose bush

I have a rose bush which I planted a year ago, however I realise now after quite a lot of heavy rain this year it is in a spot where water seems to collect, so I want to re-plant it in slightly higher place.  Is now a good time to do it?  It has long finished flowering and I am wondering do I lift it as it is, or do I prune it right back (it is sill only only small)

Thanks

Rose worry!

hehe thanks, yes I will just enjoy it now! and the weather seems to have got a bit better here now too

Thank you for the reassurance and apologies for the late reply!  Yesterday I noticed a couple of the buds getting a little bigger so fingers crossed!  I have cut a few of the really tight buds off as the plant is only quite small so am I right in thinking this is the correct thing to do so it can focus it's energy on the bigger buds?

Also, how much sun does a rose bush need?  Mine gets full sun for about half the  morning then again later in the afternoon - is this enough?!

Or am I just worrying too much!

Rose worry!

Hi I have a rose bush which I planted last October, it seemed to start growing ok during spring (about 2 foot tall - is this normal?), but I am forever brushing off aphids and putting ladybirds near it!  Over the past couple of weeks I have noticed loads of buds forming on it, however these are still really small and don't seem to be getting any bigger.  Also I have just noticed there are a few white spots on some of the leaves.

I have read all sorts about the various diseases, fungal problems and pests etc you can get with roses and am a bit confused as to what is best to do!

Thanks
