      Hi @Apple Blossom yes mine has always been a mystery to me as it is supposed to be Butter Yellow,mine looks more like Stork than butter:heehee: it was voted Rose of the year in 2010 and in the USA is named Julia Child and in Australia is named Soul Mate:smile:

        The reason I fell in love with it was because it was as the colour of an orange but it was quite young... Hopefully we may see something this year and it will be much happier out of the pot, :spinning:

                    @wiseowl /Woo, visited a private nursery and garden (here); did a lot of staring, sniffing and oohing and aahing at roses :wub2:
                    Saw this one and thought of you: so, from me to you with special wishes

                    Hope you like it,

                        1.Are you going to go for strongly scented Roses
                        2..What colours do you favour:smile:
                        3.,Floribundas or Hybrid Tea's,Old English ect:smile:
                        4. And what hieght would you like:smile:
                        5.What are the dimensions of the new Rose bed bearing in mind that we have to allow space so that they don;t overlap each other and there is room either side so that you can walk past them comfortably and trim that grass on the one side;)
