          So I went to gardeners world live hoping to get a new rose today, had my eye on either rhapsody in blue, lady of shallot, brushstrokes or Emma Hamilton, but they were all sold out or reserved. The david Austin stand was like a scrum!
          Disappointed Charlie. :frown:

                  Good Afternoon Woo, I've cut AF possibly a bit lower than you suggested as there were no buds on a lot of the stems so followed your instructions to the nearest and tried to keep the shoots to the same hight, she's looking a lot healthier :dbgrtmb:

                        I'm going to leave it now for a while but I am so happy with it, and thank you for all your advice and help... It looks wonderful and the fragrance from the roses is heavenly .... Oh yes one little thing ...I'll think I will have to move 'hot lips' as I'm not sure if it will overtake the area?
