woolly aphid control
Question from
In forum: General
Hi,
Please could you let me know whether Cryptoline (Cryptolaemus Montrouzieri) eat Adalia bipunctata? I have both aphids (on roses) and woolly aphids (on crab apple tree) in my garden and was wondering whether it's possible to introduce both predators?
Thank you!
Charmian

Chelsea Flower Show is going to be virtual this year, and Knoll Gardens will celebrating the vibrancy of their plants and grasses, and the benefits of naturalistic gardening for our health, our environment and our wildlife, during ‘Virtual Chelsea’ week, with a series of daily ‘From the Experts @Knoll’ features.
Visit the Knoll Gardens website https://www.knollgardens.co.uk and follow their posts with daily expert advice from rain gardens to dry meadows, and from speciality grasses to wildlife and wellbeing. The expert gardeners at Knoll will offer tips and ideas to help you adopt a more naturalistic approach to gardening by sharing a few of their professional secrets, to enable you to create the most wonderful, magical – and practically maintenance and resource free - garden for all seasons.
You can also access the super helpful ‘Plant Finder’ online resource at https://www.knollgardens.co.uk, which quickly and easily tells you which grasses and perennials are best for a whole range of planting areas - from ‘dry shade’ through to ‘damp soil in sun’ – covering every possible, problematic combination of gardening areas!
Find out what a day in the life of a professional gardener is really like – it is not all a bed of roses or even grasses – but one thing is for sure, it will inspire you to want to change your whole perspective on gardening, and look at gardening in a revolutionary new way.
Our world has changed a good deal in the last couple of months, so why not make 2020 the year that you tune into a more natural, rhythmic and empathetical style of gardening, that is very much in tune with our precious green spaces, and allows both us and our plants to reach our full potential within them.
Find out more with the daily Chelsea Week ‘From the Experts @Knoll’ posts, starting Monday 18th May.

Please help me identify this plant!
Question from
In forum: Identify a plant
Hello,
This rose has me bamboozled!
It appears to be an almost Jekyll and hide plant or two plants? I think one with the most impressive thorns and another a tree with no thorns at the base with beautiful yellow flowers. There are thorny side shoots coming off everywhere and the part with the roses is heavily bowed forwards. I am trying to work out how to tackle it!
It looks like potentially two plants that have somehow converged. Could you let me know what it is if you know so I can research?
Photos attached.

The one I have found at Country Garden Roses is distinctly orange - but called Geraldine. Worth a conversation with them. Alternative name seems to be Peahaze.

Hi - I did a search as I like the rose, there is only one place found - in France petales-de-roses.com. Perhaps they would ship to UK. Good price.
Hope you have luck

Rose Pruning
Question from
In forum: General
This summer my hybrid tea roses lost most of their leaves and I've had to remove others because of black spot. The weather has been very hot and they are beginning to recover with the fall in temperature. Any idea why their leaves fall and whether I can prevent it?

Plants for a north facing covered area
Question from
In forum: Container gardening
I have a north facing covered area between our front door and a garage door (see the attached photo). I tried putting two roses in large pots there, either side of a bench, but they weren't very happy and became too leggy because of the lack of light. I have moved one of the roses to a more favourable spot and plan to move the other (shown in the photo) soon. I have two large (Ø48cm x H37cm) pots, one is shown to the left of the bench, waiting to be planted up. Can you suggest some suitable plants please?!

Sawfly infestations
Question from
In forum: Pests, diseases and invasive biosecurity risks
Hi everyone, new to Shoot and relatively new to gardening. I started my garden last year. My roses and potted geraniums and a few other species have are plagues with what look like sawfly larvae. I want to avoid using strong pesticides and have been trying to manage them by picking them off but it is very labour intensive. Any tips would be welcome. Should I remove damaged leaves etc, is there anything I could plant that might deter them etc. Thanks a mil Serena, wicklow, ireland

My great grandfather Crego grew these roses in his garden and gave a plant to his daughter, my grandmother. It survived for many years, but eventually died. I would like to find this plant for my garden and for my siblings.

Black Ants eating rose buds
Question from
In forum: General
All I can find on Google is the obvious. " Ants don't eat roses but go after the Aphids that do"
Being aware of this I have made certain my roses are aphid free. I don't like to spray but admit to using 'Rose Clear' to rid my plants of infection, verified by careful inspection.
Despite this, on a number of buds I have found swarms of ants (small black ants) embedded into the buds and half the bud eaten away.
Has anyone else had this?

Cowslip or oxlip? They look like primroses but because they are multistemmed they cannot be. Flowers look bigger than cowslips so more like oxlips.

Knockout roses
Comment from
In forum: Rosa 'Knock Out'
Knockout roses will not be available in uk until at least 2020. My daughter in uk wanted a rose so i suggested a knockout but found they were not available there so after some research i found that the guy that grew these put a stipulation on them so that no one could sell them outside of usa and no one could develop them for 20 years. He developed them in 2000 so you have to wait at least another 2 years before they will be available anywhere except the usa. Hope this helps
