Aphids revenge. Country queensland and the first little blighters were fat and happy on Reine Victoria, Oceane and Versigny (all early starters with red new foliage). As I sprayed the last of my white oil into the crevices of versigny, I fell over backwards, sideways, I don't know which ways but right into Oceane. So I have quit for the day in disgust. Am I a serious rose gardener now?

Ouch!
A rose that never got aphids in my garden was "Mrs Heggie's Red Tea" (probably Beaute Inconstante, in commerce in Aus incorrectly as Papillon). But it can get very big in all directions: like "Rose Hedge Cottage" Tea it is not one I'd recommend if you have little birds that plant cherryplums or blackberry in the middle of things.

I think the serious rose gardeners are asking “is Oceane OK?” ;-)
