Whiskey Mac

...Today i found this forlorn little chap under a shrub.....cruely neglected for a good 3 years or so....there still seems to be a bit life in him yet so i've potted him up and have everything crossed .....wish him luck

 

Loli what is it ???

 

A rose?

 

Aww, Whisky Mac!! That was the last plant I bought with my mother present (but the very first rose!). Gorgeous scent and a very pretty rose indeed!

Wishing him lots of love and luck and I can't wait to see him bloom in 2013.

 

Loli,
a sprinkling of blood,fish and bone may put a smile on his face. Sending my best wishes too for a brighter , happier future
Jenny

 

Whiskey Mac, I haven't seen one for years but a lovely rose. I hope it does you proud Loli.

 

Now you'll only get Jack Mc Hammocklashing going with a thread title like that

 

Knowing Jack is a Scot I thought I'd go off and check the spelling of this rose. It's 'Whisky Mac' without the 'E'........ that was close!

 

See post #4 (call it: damage limitation )

 

Lovely little thread this; nothing fires up the heart greater than roses for me,
cheers Whisky Mac,

 

Ah, maybe I've mistaken it? Mine was more of an apricot colour (and I do remember it being sold as a Whisky Mac, because my mother and I chuckled about it)

 

If i remember rightly Mum when my poor specimen did flower ....once it was fully open it did have an apricot tinge....

 

Loli, we'll need a picture next summer when it's made a full recovery. I think you and Mum are right about the apricot tinge.

 

I really hope 'he's' been saved Sheal....and i can't wait to show you a pic when he's in all his glory
