ONLY A ROSE - 2015

Lemon Sorbet it is then @Sheal and in that vein ... maybe I should be calling the other one ... Raspberry Ripple

 

Oops, maybe not ... seems that already exists Back to German Measles then

 

Rubella would be kinder. How about Blancmange?

 

Done: blancmange and lemon sorbet it is!

(Are you feeling a bit peckish by any chance, @Sheal? )

 

@wiseowl (this is a David Austin Rose) sent me the wrong one but let me keep it, its a shrub rose ?

 

yes its a for owlet Woo

"‘Mrs. Doreen Pike’ is a rose of modest charm."

Woo I wonder how this got its name , its quite lax in growth I may take a few cuttings in the Autumn , this was sent to me as a climber


*update* Named after Doreen, who managed our offices for many years, in recognition of her contribution to the Nursery. David Austin

 

A couple of bushes thius afternoon. I must say, they are liking this dry, cool'ish June. Many other perennials and shrub companions that share their border are definitely not

and the top left hand bloom

and Lady Emma Hamilton and Charlotte at the back

The food ideas didn't occur to me @"M", not usually my favourite subject.

 

Since I quit smoking, food is the ONLY subject!!

 

The same here and I'm hating every minute! Give me a smoke any day!

 

Quite Sheal!

 

Was that 'quite' or 'quiet' Sheal?

 

I got a lady Emma Hamilton! With lots of buds. I looked everywhere on the DA stand at the garden centre and then my friend found it. Did a little dance!
