      The good thing about Fragrant Cloud on a standard is that it puts the blooms right where you want them . . . . . At nose height! :dbgrtmb:

          Hi Woo
          I checked my pals at Style Roses last night and they don't list it on their website. I'll give them a bell if I get a minute later today
          Fragrant Cloud has always been my favourite perfumed rose
          Reminds me of days long gone!
          I'll get back to you my friend

            Good morning Mondo my friend very much appreciated:ThankYou:

            After your recommendation I looked at Style Roses and saw that they didn't have one otherwise I would have ordered from them,I have two Rose Nurseries within 20 minutes from me
            Eastcroft Roses and Rumwood Nurseries but they never had one either Enjoy your weekend:smile:

                        Oh dear Woo, seems like we're drawing a blank with a standard Fragrant Cloud. Find That Rose suggests that Rumwood, Parkside Nursery, Sudlow Lane, Tabley, Knutsford, Cheshire WA16 0TP Phone: (01565) 652598 and Henry Street Nursery, Swallowfield Road, Arborfield, Reading, Berks RG2 9JY Phone: (0118) 9761223.
                        I know you've tried Rumwood with no luck. I checked the Henry Street website but they don't show standards at all? Perhaps a call would give better info? Same story at Parkside too I'm afraid.
                        I notice that you said Rumwood's were local? Then my friend you are obviously an Owl of Kent? I used to show roses at the Bexleyheath show until it was mothballed a couple of years back. I still have contact with the good folk in Bexley, in fact that reminds me, I'm sure I'm doing a talk for them in April or May! Better check! I have a couple of other options for you Fragrant Cloud, I'll keep you posted.

                            I've joined in the hunt too. I called my local nursery on Mott street and they will get back to me on Wednesday. The Net was a blank
