Beautiful gardens and some great information. Ramblers instead of climbers! I don't worry about black spot but the sawfly larvae virtually destroy my rose foliage in the spring. Love your channel Alexandra.

Love your interviews Alexandra...you always find such interesting, experienced & helpful people from the horticultural world. And what a rose garden that is! I was especilaly interested in Ian Limmer's experience and thoughts on blackspot. It seems that keeping a rose well nourished helps minimise the impact. For me, I always love to see traditional English lavender companioned with roses :)
