Only a rose....

I messed that one up and how could i ....the bottom pic is the one and only Geoff Hamilton

 

Loli,
I had Jacques Cartier 2 moves ago. Lucky you. One of the finest poshest smelling roses I know.

 

Loli,
I can't see Geoff Hamilton?

 

Me neither

 

I've just ordered a Gertrude Jekyll and a Sceptre'd Isle (both David Austin) for collection from Altrincham Garden Centre. Have to wait until they contact me to let me know they've arrived for collection. Taps feet impatiently

They are both on the list of David Austin's most fragrant roses.

I just love the shape and colour of the blooms on Sceptre'd Isle - absolutely stunning

 

oooh thank you Woo. I have just recovered from a swoon and will stay and gaze a little longer,
Jenny.
Is this flowering in your garden as well as Loli's right now?

 

Yes Jenny....he's in a large container at the moment but come the Autumn i'm going to find a special place for himI had one a few years back ,moved it and killed itbut now i'm learning how to look after them properly he will be cherished....i do remember making rose petal icecream with the blooms and it was wonderfull
Good choice Merleworld...my 'Gerty' is bloom and the scent is breathtaking

 

I have no idea what varieties they are, but we have these climbers on an old red brick wall in the garden at work.
It's a challenge to get the best out of them as the whole bed is shaded for most of the day by a very large Sycamore, the wet weather this year has certainly helped produce vigorous growth and a good show of blooms.

 

This was supposed to be a Double Delight, but obviously isn't.

The blooms are quite small, so am guessing some sort of patio rose. Smells lovely



Anybody have any ideas of what it might be?

 

David Austin rose - Teasing Georgia. I wasn't going to go for yellow but they had one of these on display climbing up a frame and it was stunning, so I couldn't resist



In any case I ended up buying a selection of pinks and yellows, which I think go lovely together.

 

How could anyone resist that merleworld? It's quite pure and very beautiful. One of the best modern day hybrids I reckon,
thank you for showing me today,
Jenny
