Roses are a bit finicky I suppose. We got a spurt of yellow last week
and after several blooms the plants shut down.

It might be leaching of the soil or just tells them 'wrong season'.

Roses have not had a good time of it this year in my garden after the
torrential rain which has affected so many gardens this summer. Only
now am I getting some decent blooms from R. 'Korresia', R. 'Just Joey'
and R. 'Crimson Cascade' for example.

Both R. 'William Shakespeare' and R. 'Pat Austin' have been a disaster
throughout, and quite frankly I'm inclined to dig mine up and chuck 'em
away! They do appear very weak and unable to hold up their heads on
their spindly stems even. This has happened over several years and my
patience with these two is just about exhausted. Conversely, 'Just
Joey' which is almost identical to 'Pat Austin' in colour and form is a
much more robust plant of similar age.
