So this can happen? I have never actually seen red hips on my Sympathie. Too eager dead-heading I suppose.

If the rose in Budapest is not mislabeled. See also my photo from Volcji Potok. Try if you can get hips, too.

That's beautiful, Jay Jay, but I am CERTAINLY glad it is YOUR garden and not mine! I'm too tropical for that kind of 'water'!

This kind of water, I'm glad of in winter. And it looks gorgeous too this (roses) protecting blanket.
I'll definitely keep it and send some when it is in liquid form. Today, there will already be some ice-skating.
It was -7° C last night. (at other places -13)

I agree--snow looks beautiful (especially when it's plentiful and fresh) and is very good for the garden!

Almost all is gone now +3° C. After a lot of glaze/black ice or frozen rain if You prefer. The birds sing again, as if it is already spring.

I hope there will not be harsh bare frosts like last winter! But most of the roses are in rest and the new-ones planted.
Habe die meisten rosen angehäufelt. Andere haben teilweise eine Blätterdecke, davon gibt's genügend wegen den großen Eichen.

Tell me about oakleaves! They're everywhere in our garden. But they're very acidic, I believe, and they take forever to rot.

In the beginning, they behave acidic, but they bring Kalium (Potassium) and Calcium, when they rot.

I bag my black oak and white oak leaves over winter and by spring they are the most wonderful mulch ... and they are free !

How do You bag them Lyn? In which kind of bags?
over here the neighbours scream out loud of frustration, when the leaves are starting to fall.
It even is so, that they really dislike my roses, for then they have even leaves (rosepetals) in the summer on the shared driveway. they love bare wooden plank fences.(with no green plants what so ever growing into or up to them)

Hi Jay-Jay.....
Like Kim said in his response, I just use regular, for us, black plastic garbage bags. I don't have enough oaks around my own home to get enough leaves for the garden, so I go out to a friend's place and bag up a lot of leaves and just store them on the side of the house. If they are dry when I've collected them, I do put some water in the bag to speed up the decomposition. Since I have the high summer temps Kim mentioned, the mulch disappears very quickly. Every time I visit with my friend, I come back with leaves all year long.
Since I live in an old gold mining town in the mountains in the midst of a forest, I don't have to be concerned about neighbors being upset about leaves or trees.
Smiles,
Lyn

We've got neighbours like these too! They seem to hate plants. Conifers seem to be acceptable ...

Yup! The same over here and then pruned in geometrical/conical shapes.

No less! And any leaves that happen to land on them are carefully picked up twice a day.

I've always just used plain, black plastic trash bags, Jay Jay. In my climate, that works just fine. Once they've outlived their usefulness, they go in the recycle bin. For anything larger, coarser, I run it through the shredder, which makes it break down even faster. Here, though, shredding any plant material often means it's going to disappear in one season, just left out on the ground. High heat digests organic material VERY quickly!

0 oC now and 40-50 cm of snow at 450m height. White Max Graf confirms its name. Park's Yellow (in commerce) still green under the snow.

Looks comforting for those roses, Jedmar! They can rest asleep like snowwhite.
