M.G.Duff will explain if Hubbard cannot.

Mike, stop it, if you are a gentleman, you know that calling a woman
by her husband's surname is rude. Sacha, or Mrs. Hubbard are fine,
you don't need to undermine yourself by using just a surname. Now,
enough, or I can't talk to you about gardening and I would prefer to
do that. If you don't want to talk to me about gardening, then carry
on as you are but it would be a shame.

As this peculiar man has some kind of obsession with me, I would be grateful
if he was not answered on the back of ANY of my posts. He's a cyber stalker
and while I know your good manners mean you answer people politely, dear
Judith, I'd rather not see him encouraged him via me. I've had years of
this abuse. IMO, his behaviour is unbalanced and is soon going to need some
further action on my part.

How nice to see that you have taken notice of my advice and not given an
aggressive posting :-))

Now let's see if we can keep it up shall we?

There's a good girl.

Can you grow roses in your French garden, or is it too cold for them in
winter? I doubt many diseases would survive, anyhow!

Yes, I have some floribundas in France, growing through gravel without
any sign of any disease!! The ones which pose the problem, in
England, are one year old ramblers; of which 2 are affected of the
four ;which are growing up an untreated timber pergola thing.

Advice would be appreciated, I don't mind resorting to chemicals - it
is better than looking at the foliage of a diseased plant.

Ray's answer to this is that we used to use Roseclear or whatever the modern
equivalent is. IOW, he/we are not up to date in rose sprays because we
avoid them wherever possible. Matthew isn't here today so I'll try to
remember to ask him more tomorrow, if he knows!

No idea if its one of the ones withdrawn but I use Sythane for rose cuttings
(but not in the garden) which seems to keep a lid on most of their lurgys
