    That is a really beautiful Rose photograph Woo.


    We brought our 54 year old Elizabeth rose from our previous home
    and it has had many flowers on it in the last couple of months although
    it is still in a large pot. Shame the wind and rain of late knocked them
    about and they didn't last for long but there are still 2 or 3 buds so maybe
    with the warmer weather forecast for next week I might get a nice pic .

    And thank you Daisees for the link to Jig Zone. I managed the puzzle but in a pretty poor time. Maybe I need to practice more :wink:

    ".....54 year old Rose "wow" that will take some beating, has it always been in a pot?"

    Woo -It was a cutting taken last year, then grown in a pot, from first rose planted in our garden at our previous address - we just had to bring it with us and luckily it survived. Hoping to find the right spot for it in the garden soon.

    Am I correct in saying it is the same plant?

    I will try to get a photo later.

    Hi Jjordie that's great news,not all Roses turn out the same as its parent plant,but I should say that the Queen Elizabeth will be OK as it a very vigorous grower,of course the advantage of growing from a cutting is that there are never any sucker,s,they only appear on Budded Roses,
    [align=left]The original Queen Elizabeth grandiflora, developed in 1954, grew to 8 feet.,and some have reached 15ft:)

    A grandiflora Rose is a cross of Hybrid Tea and Floribunda.
