I’ve been a bit disappointed in my roses so I gave them a dose of fertiliser and I can hardly believe how much better they look. This is the first flower from the bush called Origami and there are many more buds to come.
The other rose is also covered in buds. It’s a pink rose but has a lovely perfume so I’m looking forward to seeing it covered in flowers too.
When we first moved here we bought three roses and had them in troughs. I’m sure there wasn’t enough dirt for them to thrive. I lost one and we repotted the other two into bigger tubs. Now I think they’re saying thank you.

I have found that pink roses have the best scent. Even my China Rose smells so good. That Origami rose is stunning.

Pink roses always smell the best, maybe it's due to the fact they're the OG. 
This Origami rose is marvelous though!

@JudyEv OG means "original gangster", but yes, I meant they were the first species to be cultivated or to even exist. They're named after the color pink after all.

Roses need fertilizers and I am glad you got the results.
Origami is normally flowers made from paper.

@allknowing In Donnybrook, we didn't have good soil and we were also battling against the roos.

@changjiangzhibin89 Our roses suffer from that too - and from aphids.

That is a gorgeous picture. When my parents moved into the home my dad shares with my now stepmom, 27 years ago, they had a yellow rose bush that was just beautiful to me. I don’t know why, but it got taken out. Fortunately, now my stepmom planted a lot of things where the rose bush used to be. Honestly though, the rose bush looked better.
