    Hmm @Nollie . Your Heidi is very different to mine, we thought so last year too but put it down to other factors but those buds are different in every way....

    Ah yes, I remember that @Tack, be interesting to compare again when both of ours are in bloom. Roses often behave somewhat differently here in bloom form and colour, but you would think the buds would look the same!

    Looking at the photos on HMF my HK is the wrong one. I now have a mystery rose too

    The leaves on my 'Scarborough Fair' are turning increasingly yellow. Any ideas as to what the cause might be.

    A little chlorosis @peteS, a sign of iron and/or magnesium deficiency, but looks more like iron. Give it a drink with added sequestered iron powder disolved in the watering can and that should do the trick. I usually put a level teaspoon in a 10L can and that does 2-3 roses. You can usually pick a packet up easily in a GC. Have you fed it a general balanced rose food yet? If not, I would do that as well.

    @peteS What's your watering and feeding regime for pots at the moment?
