                They are truly worthy of the effort you put into making their display bed Loli. Looking forward to seeing more of them soon,

                        So I've caught the 'Obsessive compulsive rose buying disorder!' :heehee: Here's my latest purchase
                        image.jpg

                        I've planted it under our sitting room window. I wasn't particularly looking for a rose to go there but I was attracted to the bright colour! :)

                                Thanks @wiseowl Interesting that it's got Whiskey Mac in it's parentage as I've got one in the same bed, though it's not in bloom yet. Whiskey Mac in the middle with two Fragrant Delights and two For Your Eyes Only
