David Austen Rose - white bobbles on some branches
Help.  I have a David Austen Gertrude Jekyl rose and have planted it into my new garden.  It has some white bobbles on it.  I am keen to keep this as you know they are not cheap roses and I bought it for the beauty and the scent of it.  Any ideas by ANGIE DAWSON

Hello everybody. I need a rose nerd to help me with this. C. 1981, my dad planted a rose in our back garden, and I want to find out what variety it was - partly as a bit of nostalgia and partly because I want to recreate the awesome rose wine he by Noob Gardener2

Overgrown rose bush
Hi,   We moved house last year and have inherited a rose bush in the front garden. I have no idea what variety it is but I don’t think it’s had much care in the past.   It’s about 50 cm round but has grown to over 6ft tall; many of the branches by SBails

Roses on my driveway
or perhaps use other varieties too?  My personal feeling is to stick to one variety, to make it more integrated and 'designed' rather than a cottage garden feel, but I'd welcome other people's thoughts & ideas. I will need quite a few roses to make a border by ChapelGirl2

My roses have now been radically pruned after collapsing last yearin the high winds. They need staking / supporting and I am determined to sort thisout this year - very disappointed to have to prune them back so hard. Which supports do I use by Sandy 3
