Ah, yes that's a big difference. And it will take a while for the new rose to get to that size...
Weed-wise, we have a never ending supply.
Perhaps just cutting the seedheads for now and pulling them out near the plants you need to grow will do? If you have no weeds, your soil is dead and you won't have any plants either ;)
I still got 10 square meters to sort (ouch me back) it can wait until next year... enjoy your progress for this year :)
The rose will slowly do its thing and any insects will thank you for the wild spaces :)

I think I've made great progress on the front. But after the sun, rain, and being away loads of weeds have come up. Likewise at the back I've addd some things that need space and I've got to weed around.
Part of this is my fault for having previously making the garden more wild and lower maintenance, and now adding some things. And part of it is the weather.
I also think loosing one big climbing rose and just about saving the other has meant a big visual loss at an inbetween time for lots of my garden.
All that said I'm loving how amazing all my ferns are this year.
