climbing

Hi friends
i have just been down Rumwoods Rose nurseries in Langley (near Maidstone) and i purchased two climbing roses 1/Golden showers (deep yellow )and 1/Guinea (deep red).
Both in pots and a good price.I have put them in my( Nurs)bed for now.

 

Not a nursery I know - is it a little local one? Sometimes those are the best, although there aren't so many of them around now.
Where are they going to go longer term? Are you re-designing your garden?

Just had a look for them - what lovely roses! Not so keen on the name of the yellow one, though
I had a bit of trouble finding the other - is it guinee, a very deep red, almost black one, with a great scent? I wouldn't mind at myself, as I've got a lot of fence to cover - that would be different.
Thanks for that, Roseman! :D

I got the Golden showers because it is one of a few roses that need only 4hours of sunshine a day
and will flourish on a north facing wall,as well as being disease resistant

 

My golden showers has been in or thather on our house for ever, facing East and still flowering now.

EXCELLENT CHOICE!

Know what you mean Deney about the name

 

I decided to order those roses for my mother-in-law who has her birthday at the end of November. I ordered them yesterday afternoon, and they arrived this morning!! Just when I could have done with them taking the 2 weeks they said on the delivery page..... So I've either got to hide them for a month, or give them to her now, so they can be planted!! :D

 

Names please Dendy of the Roses...
Interested in your choice.........
