      Woo I feel terrible now for asking as I feel like I've put you out...sorry mate :sad:

      You've got the right plant and name :wow: as the first flower I counted 14 petals and to get the count right I've just clipped one off as it's flowering good now plus got spec's on and that counted 9 petals and hubby said that isn't right :phew:...so clipped another that was 11 petals and he said the flowers have come off :phew:...so I clipped another and that was 14 petals...a bit of cross words about the count :loll:as I was not cutting no more and ruining my plant :nonofinger:

      :thankyou: and now i'll :runforhills::runforhills::runforhills:

              Hello Woo...yes I am happy with the ID and already named my pic of it :)
              Well if mine is a Queen Elizabeth the rose head is large and comes on just a long single stem but if heavy rain strikes the head droops for some reason:scratch:

                I've never been a particular fan of Roses and have never considered them for the garden. They are good for rabbits to eat so I did buy a pack of six mixed Roses online a couple of years ago with the intention of growing them through the wire of the runs so the buns could have a nibble. Not sure if it was me or the quality of the plants but most didn't take so after awhile I gave up. I wouldn't have bothered again and then Mr Woo sent me the Patio Rose and this has changed my opinion :wub2:. I've also been looking at the threads on here relating to Roses. And, I'm wondering if I should have another go with the Roses.

                I like the idea of a climbing Rose that will flower for a long time, be wildlife friendly, has a strong fragrance and will withstand salt and wind. Is there such a thing???

                      image.jpeg This rose was supposed to be 'Waltz Time' which my daughter picked as it was a pretty purple on the box. Not sure what we've ended up with, but it's pretty and she's happy :)
                      Any ideas?
