Thank you @Marlorena and @jemula. The area in question will have dappled shade. I was originally look at tuscany superb as I've seen it and was impressed by its colour but am I right in thinking that it's not a repeat like Souvenir du Docteur Jamain. I'm open to any ideas. But like the idea of a burgundy /crimson old Rose set amongst smaller pink English roses
@Jason-3 I don't have it, but I've been recommended 'Souvenir de Claudius Denoyel' often enough.. might be too red, but see what you think Jason... I do know it's rather fragrant and vigorous..
You might also like 'Gloire de Ducher'. [hybrid perpetual].. I have this one... some of the blooms are huge.. it's a lanky shrub or short climber..will need pegging or training to increase lateral breaks.. and one has to tolerate some disease pressure mid season..
..1st year as a young plant.. it's fragrant on a good day..
@Jason-3 ..if you keep it well watered it's quite vigorous in the first year, but don't expect a monster.. these old roses need time to develop... we had drought last summer so didn't grow much.. I expect it to be at least 5 foot tall by next month..but it's capable of much bigger proportions.. it really needs spreading out, like fan shape or tied to trellis or stakes...
@emsgrdn ..thanks.. I'm glad you like my rose... I was going to show some pics on my other thread, but I'll put a few here from previous years ...but I don't want anyone to think I'm here just showing off... obviously I grow roses.. full stop.. so there's plenty of them and they all mix up together... it gets pretty crowded... but I hope you like these, and thanks for asking about my garden too..
@Marlorena I think you don't have to worry about posting too much in this thread, at least from my point of view, I know I won't get bored by this rose porn any time soon.
It looks like you have the plants quite densely packed. Do you think you could do some drawings/schemes for your other thread, a small piece of your garden only or an example with plants and distances between them?
@edhelka .. thanks so much... and all done without sprays.. ..I'm always happy if someone likes them..
..and sure I'll look into that tomorrow.. I have a small border I can show how I've got that arranged.... although I'm no good with drawings or fancy design work... I just look at something and sort of know what I want to do with it.. I expect you do too...
Oh my...that is absolutely breathtaking Marlorena. May i ask what kind of spacing you use between rose plants? Please don't hold back on pictures, such a joy they are.
