We have two of these rose bushes. One in France, which does really well considering how little water it gets and another at home, which was brought over as a cutting from France. It's massive and never needs anything doing to it apart from the occasional dead heading.The rose bush at the front gate has got going again. It's a remarkably independent thing, it's had no outside maintenance for many years, beyond me snipping a few cuttings off it last year. Two of them are establishing themselves nicely now and I have three more in pots, in reserve.
Nextdoor have removed their failing front garden hedge and replaced it with a wall. I intend to run a rose hedge along my side of it (eventually) and hope to get a good few more cuttings going over this winter - we'll see.

In places, you can hardly see the leaves.

"which was brought over as a cutting from France" - before Brexit presumably !We have two of these rose bushes.

Don't see what Brexit has to do with it as you're allowed to bring all items of food and drink plus healthy plants back from the EU to UK post Brexit. It's only if you're going from UK to EU that there are prohibited items. However, the French seem back to their apparent laissez-fair attitude to border controls (Channel Tunnel wise, at least) and just seemed to wave everybody through, as before."which was brought over as a cutting from France" - before Brexit presumably !
I think it's Scabious.What's this? It's growing wild, or feral, on the roadside. I meant to collect seeds last year, but failed - I will try to make more effort this time.
