    ..that's a nice rose @Ffoxglove … I don't have any of those Hulthemia hybrids, which have a maroon eye at the centre... but I always have my eyes on them...which is a play on words as most of them are called 'Eyes' something or other.. 'For Your Eyes Only' is one I like especially...  

    ..interesting breeding, by Martin Vissers, who also bred 'Minerva' which I think you may have too?...  one of its parents is 'Absolutely Fabulous', which is another great rose..

    That is pretty, @Ffoxglove, maybe it will get a bit bushier over time with some regular pruning.

    I am still waiting for my Ab Fab to bloom!

    Luscious colour.  Looking forward to mine finally taking off, this year with any luck.

    I suspect  golden  showers  has acute  hearing  and responds  to threats  
    After  maligning  it to its  face and on this thread, it has produced  a mass of buds 

    In London. Keen but lazy.

    That's lovely @Eglantyne. Was considering MW but bought more purplish roses: Minerva And Blue for you. Neither doing anything yet....

    I'm a bit disappointed that my new bare root rose, 'Royal Jubilee' planted last mid-November isn't showing any buds yet - early days I know but I'm impatient to see if I've got the colour I wanted.

    That looks amazing, @Gartener. Is EdeH normally so early into full bloom for you or is it just early this year?
