      Gorgeous! Which variety is it, please?

      I'm kicking myself for not bringing my "Just Joey" with me, but I have inherited a yellow fellow (variety yet to be established). Yours is a stunner :blue thumb:

          It's one of WOO'S recommendations, Rose "Orange and Lemon" which I bought after he showed a picture of it a couple of years ago. I bought it to compliment my "Crazy for You" rose. It's as lovely in real life as in the pic I took of it.:hapydancsmil::coffee:

                    It's the dark red rose that lives against the house wall SW facing. It had an early prune last year and has been spared a harsh, cold Winter.

                      All mine have leaves on at last, but no buds yet. I bought one of those two coloured things, I think it may have been called "Rosa Mundi" or something very similar. I can't wait for it to flower, hopefully this year x

                        Good morning @@LyndaG that is a lovely Rose:smile:

                        (Gallica) 'Rosa gallica versicolour' A striking and very old rose, the semi-double blooms being large with splashes of pink and white on a crimson background. Bushy. Said to be named after Fair Rosamund, mistress of Henry II. 12th century.

                          No flower buds yet but dark red Tower Bridge and Dublin Bay in full leaf and looking good (both on SW facing walls)
