Hi! So I have two Emily Brontë roses planted in borders opposite each other. One is in a shadier spot and one is in a sunnier spot. They were both planted and bought at the same time, directly from David Austin’s UK website. They’ve both been fed & watered in exactly the same way, but the one in the shadier spot is growing really vigorously and has lots of buds, whereas this one looks healthy foliage-wise, but we have no buds and it hasn’t grown much taller from the day it was planted earlier this year. I’m in zone 9A and I have over 30 roses, all David Austin, and all of them are either in their first flush or about to pop, apart from Elizabeth and this Emilte Brontë. Any advice/ideas?

Please help me fix my face! I have redness & small blemishes across my cheeks/jaw line/chin. I’ve never struggled with big breakouts really before so I’m not sure what to do. My skin is very sensitive and dry, and will easily “kick off” at me at new products, I find that doing less/using less complicated routines has helped for me previously, and I currently use la roche posay’s toleriane cleanser and moisturiser. I find this moisturiser really works for me and is the only thing I’ve tried other than first aid beauty’s repair cream that doesn’t make my cheeks sting upon application. The blemishes are really bothering me as someone who has always had very clear skin. Any ideas
