    Hi alun roses like rich nutrient soil. I would add rotted manure and organic matter to your soil and feed every month initaly.  No issues with your sun as 8 hours a day is classed as full sun

    Vanessa bell bred by David austin is very pretty in the flesh, I saw it for the first time during a recent visit to DA

    I have this DA rose which is a beauty, smells lovely too. Golden celebration.
    I also have DA Charlotte in a large pot

    Lots of lovely yellow roses...  so much to see at this time of year..

    'Absolutely Fabulous'..today… likely to be 5' x 5' by end of the season, growing in poor stony, rubble-y conditions complete with builders sand and hardcore.  Some soil there somewhere....great for Lavenders too...

    I killed my little Arthur Bell and he came back to life, Lazarus-wise.

    Rose.  "Graham Thomas" Was still blooming last November. Roses do seem to need a couple of years to really get going. I have three "Gentle Hermione" that have been in for two years now and are at last looking good. Patience is needed. 
    With the date stamp to prove it .  I had to cut it right back in this spring as the old metal arch it was on had collapsed.  It is looking very healthy now.
