Spring is quite exciting, we experience the thrill of seeing new growth where before there was mostly just bare brown stems, however, in Sydney, all too often we experience a hot spell that really knocks our roses around, followed by summer so more heat, humidity and black spot. Then autumn is a relief. It brings warm days, cooler nights and it seems that our roses are now able to give us their best show. The plants have had six months to put on lots of new growth, the stems have strengthened and are better able to carry the weight of the blooms and the buds are able to take their time and open at leisure; they are bigger, brighter and last much longer.
Perhaps this is why autumn is my favourite season.
