My new roses arrived.

I was excited to receive my bare root roses today. I had placed an order with Tuincentrum Lottum in the Netherlands a couple of months back and kind of forgot about it. I have to say they look nice and healthy with good roots. Gave them a soak in a bucket for a bit then stuck them in an empty bit of the veg plot until I get round to putting them in their final places. I went for:
Dannahue, Olivera, Gletscher, Eddy Mitchell and couldn’t decide between Neptune and Love Song…… so got both.

 

Sounds a good order @Emptyheadtime, did you get a mix of colours? I've only heard of Dannahue.

I've run out of room for any more roses unfortunately.

 

Dannahue is peach, Olivera is Yellow, Gletscher is hard to describe (and why I got it, to see its colour in the flesh) maybe mauve, Eddy Mitchell is red with golden underside to the petals, and Neptune and Love Song are lilac.

 

That's a wide range of colours there, presumably for different parts of the garden?

 

I hope you can send some photos of the flowers when they come out.
