I have a question about roses. My hedge of white antique roses is sick. If I post pictures, can someone (Robin or anyone else) tell me what is wrong? They bloomed in the spring and were lovely and smelled likes roses. And then they got sick.

But the ME ‘chance’ cards will be contentious: Parking fine, £20,000, you left your ostrich cart at Buckingham Palace gate and wandered off to catch Faster Pussycat Kill Kill at the Institute of Contemporary Art

"Your rich uncle leaves you £5000 in his will, but before you can put on your shoes to deposit the check you spend three hours staring vaguely at your socks wondering if you've put the left one on the right foot and vice versa, and why DON'T socks have an obvious left and right for heaven's sake, and by the time you've sorted that out the bank's closed and the sun has gone cold and you've misplaced the check anyway. Skip a turn."

*Talk to a LOCAL nursery/rose grower/gardener.* They will give you FAR better advice than any of us could. Unless some of us live near Lille. Or look it up in a French book on roses. (One of my pet peeves is Australian/American rose books published here as 'how to's. I'm sure there are some Aus/Am readers who will say the same about British books. Somewhat specialist stuff, where basic knowledge about roses in YOUR area can be assumed, is okay, but a basic book on How to Keep your Roses Healthy and Thriving is best applicable IN ITS PLACE OF ORIGIN.)

Hmmm - I suppose his second name isn't Macavity? Smile

So do you also have to believe in them really hard to make them ring?

I think you get more done with ME than a lot of people do without it! You have the spoon-budgeting down to a very fine art and I'm filled with admiration. Smile

I think change ringing generally is some kind of bonkers magic and nobody would do it if we weren't all believing away like anything. :)

Spoon handling is a bit of a fine art. Pity I'm a klutz. . . :)
