      Jenny, like Armandii I'm not a lover of pink roses, but I like the delicate shade of this one, in fact I'd describe it as 'rose pink'. :)

        Are you talking about Rose "White Cloud", Joolz?, if so it doesn't look like the same one to me, unfortunately.:dunno: Your rose is more open and appears to have a slight pink tinge to it. "White Cloud" is probably the purest white rose I have ever seen.:love30:

          Hi All,

          My tower bridge in bloom

          Tower bridge.jpg

          This one I took a cutting from next door when the house was empty, but I don't know what it is called. Does anyone else? It smells gorgeous though.
