Rose report

Oh Whisky Mac my late Dad's favourite Rose

 

Some of my roses are still in bud but almost there
"King's Ransom"


"Rosemoore"


And some are not:


"Masquerade"






"Regensberg"

 

I've just been out to test the scent, loli, and I would describe it as lightly scented. Whereas Rosemoore only 12 feet away.................


..........has a full sweet scent. Regensberg is quite low in height with a spread of around 3' but at the moment it's being swamped by Phlox which seem to have exploded in growth this year.

 

"First Great Western" just waking up to day

 

This is an old rose I planted in the 90's by the pond and after neglecting it for several years it has responded to feeding and is producing flowers happily..........the name of it is lost in corridors of my mind

 

Naaaaaaaah, no bells ringing there, loli. I'll have to have a trawl among my old paperwork and possibly a couple of rose books that I bought around the same time.

 

This is my unnamed Climbing Rose now fully opened, I'm still going through old paperwork to track the name of it down.



My 30 year old ten bob dry root in a cellophane packet "Masquerade" is doing well this year.


"Rosemoore" is a nice rose, probably my only criticism is that some of the stems are quite floppy and need supporting .


The first flowers that showed from "Regensberg" were in this white form rather the the normal pink and white.
