      ? Right place to ask using Scotts rose clear for blackspot, anything better? Garden under mature trees so always a bit damp! Not really ideal for roses - but I love them!

        Oh errrr ermmmmm, it's one of two! :doh:I think it's 'Lincolnshire Yellow Belly' (what a horrible name) or it's 'Super Trouper'. They are both at one end of the bed and next to each other but I think it's the first one.

          Rose Clear is quite popular Adendoll. I've used it for the first time this year so can't really give you a progress report at the moment other than the roses still look good.

                  :hapfeet: My first bloom of the year:thumbsup:
                  She's a little bit chewed around the edges but still perfect to me and her scent is delicious :wub2:

                      Good morning Woo,it really does smell like sherbert lemons too:wub2:....It's been in the garden since we came here 20 years ago and up until a couple of years ago I didn't have a clue what it was called until you kindly ID'd it for me:love30:...I've just had a quick google and have yet to find one but I'll keep looking:thumbsup:
                      I've just been to have a look and lost count after 38 when counting the buds ready to burst and to think for years before I became a roseaholic she almost went unnoticed ,what a sin:doh:The blooms do get bigger and fade to a rich lemony cream over time but still smell just as sweet:dbgrtmb:
