Wow thats early my Grandma used to say roses bloom in June! my Desdemona bought March 18 is in a large pot in the white garden (Just 10 x 8 between the greenhouse and the shed) is full of bud healthy but not ready to bloom. Toss up is between Swan Lake climber and Young Lycidas shrub (DA) both showing big buds and colour on the buds. Picture shows Desdemona last year 1st year planting and flowering. My photo software says June Photo
@MrsDeeGarden@Alchemist thank you so much.. and of course lovely to see you here, thanks for looking in again... Let me see what I have for today, I've just taken a load of photos to post later..
..very nice Valerie,... I've never grown that one... I've heard it has a good scent..
lots of photos coming up that I took today.. still way too early for most roses, so a few other plants to go over...
'Cornelia' hybrid musk.. thornless.. first flower today, always one of the first to bloom and one of my favourite roses... more later when full flush...
..it's along my railings, behind 'Bengal Crimson' flowering well now.. this rose, 'BC', is for collectors I think.. if you live in London a large plant grows at the Chelsea Physic Garden on a wall... it will climb to 8 foot or so if sheltered, I've had that here, but now with exposure, much shorter.. on the south coast it will flower during winter..
Clematis 'Guernsey Cream', I quite like this one.. ignore awful foliage...hard water..
...these beautiful leaves are from 'Lady Salisbury [Austin] a delightful shrub rose, blush pink, blooms all summer... more later on this one...

@Mr. Vine Eye thanks so much, and for checking in here.. 2 metres, well, I think they're being discreet... but it's easily kept in check...

this is always my first rose out. Climbing Ena Harkness, chosen because of her perfume and she hangs her head for when I walk by.
