      Thanks Penny,

      It is quite an old rose. We have lived here for about 27/8 years, and it was here when we first move in. :) I am not sure how long roses live for, perhaps someone will enlighten me. :what:

      Kind regards,

      Josie

      Hi Josie, that certainly is a beautiful rose. I hope it has a scent to match it's looks as, to me, that's what always makes a rose.:D

      Aged parent has a rose called ' Maidens Blush ' which she grew from a cutting, she obtained when her mum died in 1949.

      I used to think that, until this miniature started blooming this year. Absolutely no smell, but a wonderful shape.

        A very nice rose, Grumpy, but I still hold to a rose needing scent to complete it.:D

          Hi, Yes, it certainly does have the scent to match. It smells of "Summer". :wub2:

          The 2 below, unfortunately, are both unscented.
