    Thanks for that WOO. In fact, I've just ordered 2 Ena Harkness, should be here around November or so. Shortly, I'll be starting a thread showing my garden and the progress I've been making (albeit slow). You'll be able to see where the roses will be going. Cheers...freddy.

    Hi again folks. Just a short update. The 'Crimson Glory' arrived today ! :) I'll be putting them in this weekend. Just the thing to help me look ahead to next year and forget (a little) these cold dark nights. Cheers...freddy.

    Hi Dee. It's going in the 'cottage' area, over an arch. Since my last post, I have ordered 2 plants from David Austin Roses, not cheap at nearly £30 (including postage), but hopefully worth it :) Cheers...freddy.

    Hi again folks. Well, the Danse De Feu arrived the other day and today I planted them up, one each side of the rose arch. In the cottage area, I now have 7 roses in all. Can't wait til the season kicks off ! Goes without saying, pics to follow as and when. Cheers...freddy.
