An update regarding my question a few days ago about colours and apricot/yellow/orange roses, I decided to get the Scented Garden, recommended by Marlorena. It arrived today and looks good.
@edhelka ...I'm so delighted you got this rose... mine is just starting a 2nd flush... it's so incredibly healthy too in a garden ravaged with black spot probably like most people at the moment... I hope you like it over the longer term...
'Imogen'... such a pretty rose, if only the flowers lasted a bit longer.. 3 days max.. 'Lilac Bouquet'... a very useful thornless rambler.. not too vigorous, not overpowering..
Rosa gallica 'Conditorum'.. a very old rose from the time of Shakespeare... 'Gabriel Oak'.. flowers are smaller in my continuing drought situation here in E Anglia.. 'Blythe Spirit'.. this will never be front rank amongst Austins, but it flowers continuously.. in poor dry soil.. and during summer 2018 bloomed non stop without attention... it's a great hybrid musk type shrub rose... yellow fading to white with pink blotches..
