Hi @Janie B, lovely Shropshire Lad, a word of warning about Rozanne... great long flowering season but it can be an absolute thug (becoming one here). Unless I am imagining things or read it somewhere else, I am sure Marlorena mentioned somewhere its not a great combo with roses for that reason...
Mountainous Northern Catalunya, Spain. Hot summers, cold winters.
Thanks for the heads-up @Nollie... I have it growing elsewhere in the garden and it seems quite biddable! Also, my Shropshire Lads are growing in a very narrow strip between the wall and the patio... maybe it'll be ok there? I'll have a little think about it...
Ruby Ruby above, possibly a patio roase, not looking too good at the moment though.
Below is My Mum a miniature possibly patio rose with flowers that look like velvet.Fond Memories which often has between 40 and 50 flowers on it during the summerClimbing Masquerade rose intertwined with a large flowering clematis Golden Oldie given to my husband on his 50th from our eldest daughter.
All the roses that we have planted in our garden and I imagine most gardens are planted to remember a specific occasion. We really do cherish all our plants but the rose more than others.
I have been given a pink rose ( Wild Eve) that im going to put it a glazed container. I'm dithering between pearly black, dark blue or teal. I discounted grey as I thought it might look washed out. What do you think?

Planted with S Caradonna. Blooms seem smaller and somehow frillier this year... maybe it’s just this first flush...
Desdemona was just opening up but already smelling lovely. Took every last ounce of self restraint to stop myself buying one.
They had Roald Dahl which looked good and few thorns.
Lady of Shalott was there too but potted as a climber - is it the same plant as the shrub or is there actually a difference?

I would choose dark blue, but depends on your taste. I also like pink and grey together.
That Golden Oldie is a gorgeous shape.
That same Amber Queen flower - it has been in the process of opening for weeks!
