I don't know the name of this daisy (planted in an "English cottage-style" garden by previous owners) but does anyone know if it is hostile / allelopathic to roses? It seems to me that there's more going on than competition for resources. Anyway it's coming out.

Why Margaret, that is obviously Osteospermum ecklonis, also known as Cape marguerite, African daisy, Van Staden's river daisy, Sundays river daisy, white daisy bush, blue-and-white daisy bush, star of the veldt is an ornamental plant that is native to South Africa. It is now regarded as a weed in parts of Australia, particularly Victoria and Western Australia.
And you too can sound this smart if you have the Picture This app, and a photograph of the plant :-)

Thank you! Trust the previous owners to plant a weed - they also planted Agapanthus.
I know about iNaturalist (they told me my tiny never-before-noticed beetles weren't beetles, but nymphs of the redbug pest).
Also the frog-listening app.
Aren't computers wonderful- when they work.
