We grow climbing rose 'Cocktail' on both sides of the front of the Potager's She Shed (Maiden's Room). The branches that used to be trained up to the roof are now pruned low as part of the change to a sustainable garden for us. This rose produces new branches and flowers several times a year, and is starting to sprout, bud and flower again, even in this heat wave. The ground is dry because of the hot days (some time over 38°C) and the lack of rainfall. Even so, the roses are still flowering in good health. We hope that the roses will give us energy to get through this summer.
ポタジェのシーシェッド（乙女の部屋）の前の両側につるバラのカクテルを育てています。屋根の上まで誘引していた枝は、私達にとっての持続可能な庭に変更する一環で、低く剪定するようにしています。1年に何度も新しい枝を出して花を咲かせる品種で、この猛暑の中でもまた新芽を伸ばして蕾をつけ、花を咲かせ始めています。38℃を超えるような暑い日もあり、雨も降らないため、地面は乾ききっています。それでもこのバラは元気に花をさかせています。私たちも元気をもらって、この夏を乗り切りたいと思います。
Dear Poirot
ReplyDeleteIt is good that plants are resilient - with the changing climate and weather patterns, it is something we are all going to have to get used to.
It is a lovely rose.
Best wishes

Thank you, Ellie.
DeleteOh yes, we certainly have to get used to it.
I recall that the climate in the UK was much cooler when I visited in the summer.
