    :thumb: Oh Woo.. Uncle Bert is a fantastic bloom..!! Just perfect. Does it have a scent? I am waiting patiently for my Elizabeth Arden to flower which is pink also, it has a very delicate scent, but a big blousey bloom...;):)

    Same here, searched Google, growers lists, Help me Find, and Rose Locator; the only matches on Google were for Elizabeth Arden rose perfume and eau de toilette.

    Intrigue deepens, the thot plickens, we have a right to know..

    Hi Woo,we saw an Arthur Bell rose in flower this afternoon and the smell was fantastic though they wanted £12.99 for it.I think that was a wee bit to expensive,though for Wyvale that is probably the right price.:rolleyes:

    Pal,I would go along with Woo and it looks very much like Peace which I have in my garden though it has never done well since we bought it.:(

    WOO..all the roses in the picture are on the same bush:)
    The lady that gave me her roses was Scottish and she tended to buy ones from/connected to, that neck of the woods.
    As you can see the growth is very strong and she never gets any sprays etc;...built in resistance,must be?
