I've put mine in the lobby today just to get then used to cooler temperatures and slow them down a bit - the spare bedroom window sill is very warm.

Sowed saved morning glory seeds this morning, in multipurpose compost in an old strawberry container to use as a propagator. They are in the mini greenhouse, fingers crossed.

I believe they had to close them all, they had too many members. |

Mine are just getting their second lot of leaves - they look really healthy - hope I get lots of seeds when they finish flowering.

You should get enough to do you Jasmine, each flower makes about 5 or so seeds in the pod. |

Mine have all germinated--now all I have to do is find room on the window sill when I pot them on!

As I haven't much room in my small garden--Could I grow them with a Climbing Rose? or would an Obelisk be better ?

Well I've not found them very invasive Biggles and they are annuals so can be pulled down in the autumn. I can't honestly think of any reason why you would'nt. They don't wind themselves tightly round things like some plants do. They would certainly grow on an Obelisk but they might do on the rose as well. I'd be interested to see what others say about this.
