      I purchased these. It does my head in tho coz I don't know what they are!
      Decide what u want then look around for cheapest. So e.g I wanted dame de cour so I googled it
      There's a thread on rose suppliers somewhere

        Lady......it looks like roses have got there 'thorns' into you too! :heehee: Most of us grow other plants in our gardens but when roses get a hold on us there's no going back, they're so captivating! :)

        I dug out a bed and planted roses which are now coming into there second season, before that I hadn't had roses for 20+ years! It's like an addiction once you've had them, you never get them out of your system! :)

          That 10 for 24 has a lot of my favourites in. Their all hybrid teas tho I think so it's all classic reflexed petals etc. another fave is savoy hotel

            :roflol: so true.

            I've been dreaming about roses since i was a little girl but i never thought i'd become an addict. i had a check list in my head for the past 10 yrs of what i want in my home. Finally my little family an i have moved to our own place last yr and i'm slowly making my dreams come true. i've got the mirror and the rug ticked, now working on rose garden and then a beautiful vase. lol

              The saying goes......everything comes to he who waits! It might be a long wait but we get there eventually. :)

                The saying goes..... You get what you pay for, JParkers are good for bulbs but not good for other plants.

                  Thank you Kristen.

                  I thing a sticky thread with places that we've bought roses from that are reliable would be nice. Makes life easier for alot of us esp beginners.
