Double Delight seasonal highlights — a year in review

I've been growing Double Delight for a full year now and want to capture what each season offered. hips forming in autumn for wildlife interest was the clear high point — everything you're told about Double Delight at that time of year is true. But the plant has something to offer in every season, which I hadn't expected.

repeat-flowering over a long season is consistent throughout the year, which is one of its real strengths. I've settled on a large terracotta pot on a sunny patio as the ideal position. deadheading spent blooms to encourage reblooming was the lesson I took into next year. black spot fungal disease on the leaves is the only thing that interrupted the enjoyment. Otherwise: excellent.
