Rose report

Joie de Vivre

 

That's great news 'M'. When it's bigger and stronger take some cuttings and give them a go as back up.

 

This is exciting Woo! The 31st is my sons birthday, I hope it's lucky for you.

Two lovely blooms, let's hope they've done you proud with the judges.

 

I'm not a lover of pink roses Jenny, but this one is a real treat to see, such a delicate shade and perfectly formed.

 

Ebb tide flowering again



and another unknown....

 

Loli, what do you think of Ebb Tide? To be honest out of all the roses I planted I'm not that impressed with it, it looks so dull, particularly when the blooms start to fade.

Does anyone else have it? What do you think?

 

Glad it melted your heart Sheal.
A little patio rose that repeat flowers, is only 3ft tall / wide with no health issues.

Thank you, Sheal and yes, will do cuttings once it's fully recovered. Actually, if my memory serves me correctly, I think you suggested I try that when I first realised I may have killed it? But, I didn't feel confident to try. *Now* I will though. I'll search GC on how to do it

 

Now you mention it Sheal....the first bloom on the Ebb Tide ..to me was absolutley breathtaking,the colour was amazing...when it started to fade it did look quite bedraggled but it's initial beauty made up for that...the second flush are lovely but look like a totally different rose....the colour is different for a start and it's form is much more open...a little disapointing ...still a nice rose but maybe one i wouldn't have chosen on seeing it as it is now....

 

Good morning from 'Southampton'....

 

Mornin' Southhampton ,
lovely looking little one there Loli,
Jenny

 

It is Jenny and the scent is lovely too....quiet delicate and a hint of sherbert....to think after years of neglect i literally hacked it down a couple of years ago and was going to oiyk it out....

 

Sheal,
Joie de Vivre yesterday



and here she is today - same rose:

Loli

To be honest I was thinking of replacing 'Ebb Tide' but other half says he likes it so I suppose it will have to stay. For the time being I'll live with it, but it will haunt me every time I look at it.........so it's just a matter of time I think.

Jenny,

Stunning!
