Middish May 2026 – Canberra (Australia).
Autumn fades but the roses are still blooming. I find that odd. Perhaps it is to be expected considering we haven’t yet had a frost.
It has been quite dry so my rose bushes are unaffected by black spot. I’m curious. Is black spot also an issue in damper climes of the Northern Hemisphere? T
Thankfully some rain has arrived to top up my water tank, and no doubt, winter will arrive soon. Floriade, the forthcoming annual tulip festival, will be a desultory affair without winter’s intervention.
I’m curious. Do rabbits eat tulips?
I’m in a desultory mood myself, hence a lack of doggerel on my part.
Stay curious, everyone. It beats doggerel any day.
Kind Regards.
Tracy.

I haven’t experienced rabbits eating the tulips, but that doesn’t mean they don’t Chin up, that is a beautiful rose to enjoy!

Thanks, Heather. It is nice to see the roses at last. They didn’t seem to do anything until the last couple of months.

Beautiful rose Tracy. My roses must love neglect. They are blooming in the Spring weather we are having. I do nothing to help that along.
