    Hi Barb Yes it was Ena Harkness that got me started,A truly beautiful Rose and to this day In my opinion has the best and strongest scent of them all.Hybrid tea-and a Climber (6ft):)

    Wiseoldowl, my rose is looking very sad. No sign of any new growth, and what was there has shriveled and gone . It is in the shade of a Hydrangea do you think this is the wrong place for it .I fear I may have lost it. Thanks Barb.

    Hi Barb Is It the Golden Rain that you put In the Container?,Never give up on a Rose ,If Its not have you anymore Information,ie Age,Type ,ect,But don,t forget Roses need at least 6 hours of sun just as we do,In the worst case senario we will move it to another location If you have One:thumb::)

    Wiseoldowl, yes it is the golden rain. Will get sun most of the day in this spot, but at present it is not very big ,just a twig really, being dwarfed by other plants. Would you recommend a move for it ?.
    Many thanks Barb.

    Hi Barb Yes to the Move ,(I assume its in a container )Barb I know that eventually I found It,But it is very intriguing to me cannot find any Info on it at all,But we will move it,For now can you just check that the graft union is stable and not at all loose,and then It needs to be moved in to the open so the air can circulate around and through the Canes.,we have to give it a chance ,We will check on its condition every day and take it step by step,but only ifs that convenient to you,and I shall keep searching for more facts about our Intriguing Rose:thumb::)
