And don't forget that climbing roses flower much more prolifically when their stems are trained as close to the horizontal as possible - http://paulzimmermanroses.com/gardening/training-roses/training-climbing-roses-on-a-trellis/ 

That should spur it into action 

Lawn cre

Thanks Verdun -  I meant to say that - more lawns ruined by scalping than almost anything else - apart from anything else, those bare patches of soil are an invitation to weed seeds to make themselves at home

MORNING FORKERS

I usually just mention on th spam thread that I've reported it, 'cos otherwise if people don't read this thread first, (and possibly not everybody does) then they know it's been done - then I try to bump everything else up 

Geraniums

Do I take it these are bedding geraniums/pelargoniums?  It's what they do sometimes - have they had a bit of a shock?  Were they hardened off properly or have they been a bit too dry?  

It's probably just their reaction to being transplated and a change in their environment - I wouldn't worry about it - take off the red leaves if you don't like them
