The rose bush has done really well this year, producing a huge number of flowers. I dead-headed it at the weekend and I am expecting a second flowering later in the year.

One of our bushes appears to have died. I gave it a good prune in October and I think that's what went and killed it. I checked a few branches and they were bone dry. I need to check the main trunk and see if there is any life left in it or if I should bite the bullet and pull it out.

Our buddleia has grown so voraciously that it has collapsed in the windy weather we have had over the last few days. I didn't prune it back enough in the spring.
