My roses and other plants

[Naomi]

Found this very unusal, none of my other rose flowers seem to have these. They look almost like more rose buds in the flower. Sorry the quality isn't great, told you my camera was naff :(

Look at little Miss Fuschia.

I love Fuschias

[Mags]

That first pic is unusual Nae, I've never seen anything like that either:?

Lovely fuchsia and that beautiful rose......everything else is growing well too!:D

[dandysmom]

Nice closeup of the fuchsia! More pics when it's in full bloom, please? Never saw anything like that rose; does look as if buds are coming from the center...??? What kind of jasmine is that; doesn't look like winter jasmine to me...??

[Naomi]

I have no idea what Jasmine it is, the label just said Jasmine:smt102

I'm gonna keep an eye on that rose head and see what happens. Will keep you informed.

I will definately be taking more piccies of the fuscia once it's in full flower. It'll look lovely and can't wait :D

[Moli]

Lovely Nae, that rose is unusual,never seen one like it either, love the yellow one...

[Donna]

Lots of lovely flowers there - will look lovely when they are all out in flower.

[Fran]

Lovely piccies Nae. Your roses really are stunning!

[Naomi]

Moli - The two roses are the same variety, same bush actually.

I've discovered another rose in my garden which I didn't know I had. Been here 4.5 years and only now found the rose :roll: It's growing through the hedge so once I can get some decent pics of it I'll post them.

That peachy colour is lovely.

In the first pic I think that you may have some rose gall in the flowers. Have you seen sort of 'hairy knots' on the stems of roses sometimes? - particularly wild/dog rose. can't remember the country name for it ... somebody's pincushion maybe? It's caused by a little wasp laying eggs in the stem. I think the odd 'things' in the flowers could be where it has layed in the flower bud. I feel a google coming on again!

EDIT
Robin's Pincushion.
Here it is on a stem

[Naomi]

Can't say that I've noticed H and by the looks of it I shouldn't be able to miss it :D

It looks fascinating

[Moli]

Your first rose has what is called Proliferation, they can remain as buds, or develop into stem bearing flowers, sometimes leaves...It can be caused by late frosts...sometimes a virus...

[Naomi]

Checked just now and one of them appears to be opening.

Should I cut them off or are they OK?

[Moli]

I would leave them on, and see what happens...

That's interesting.
Do you think the frost affects the tiny 'growing' cells and makes them forget they've already set off a flower bud, so they do it again? Don't think I've ever seen it but I'm not a rose expert by any means.

[Moli]

Now if we had all taken a degree in Horticulture like Moli, we would have know that!!:lol: Can we come to you with all our gardening problems Moli?;):lol:I have the RHS book of Pests and Diseases Mags, it has everything in there...

[Naomi]

:lol: stooopid me read that as 'RHS book of Pets and Diseases'

Will be intersting to see how things develope. Will keep you posted

[Moli]

Can't wait till the buds open Nae, love anything different...:D

[Mags]

It will look like flowers within flowers....should be interesting to see how it develops...:D

[Sweet]

[Naomi]

OKay the 'rose buds' are opening up really well. It looks absolutely amazing! Am trying to get some clear shots for you all to see.

[Mags]

That rose is very unusual Nae.....it looks like a different rose inside it!:?

Your son's sunflower is growing well!........:D

[Naomi]

Don't it just. Nature really fascinates me especially when I see amazing, unusual things like this rose.

[Fran]

The rose is so unusual Nae, I have never seen anything like that before. It still looks very beautiful and your son's sunflower is growing very well!
