Here she is! Julia #1 (of 3) all tucked in and ready for bed! The campanula in the back were a present from my thoughtful 16 year old son for Mother's Day. They are going to look nice together!

Phew! thanks to all the great input and the video - I felt more equipped to go for it and I got all but one rose all done. And I'm happy with them. I cut back the Julia, just a little more. Took off a few more thin canes and side canes. Took some branching ends off to a straight line, but basically left it about the same height, maybe a few inches shorter. I went back and looked at Beverly, which had good growth on it but some of the canes I had left were thin, so I took those back and shortened what was left a little. PJPaul really was awful and I had to cut most of it down to the ground and left about 3 stronger canes about 6 inches high. Savannah - had some strong growth on some canes, so I cut those by half and anything that didn't look right I took back to the ground. So, we'll see. I'm trying to find no spray roses. Julia Child has been great for me for years so these three are my next experiment to see how they work out.

@erasmus_gw I am impressed by your attention to detail but the cat you see is 'only' plaster (with our real ones always indoors). The fragrance is nothing to right home about and in the past it was reasonably blackspot proof but this has not been the case in the past few years.

It looks like Julia Child to me, and it looks good. Diane
