How lovely and so very English!

Some of the gardens we saw were sub-tropical in the North Island but became
more English in the cooler South Island. *I envied them their fabulous
roses, which were aphid and disease free in every case bar one. *And they

I would be also aphids are the bane of my life. I am trying very hard
to not use sprays but it is almost impossible not to at times.

We don't grow a lot of them but where we do have aphids I hang bird feeders.
They find the feeders and the aphids.
