@edhelka Haha, I guess I should have considered that. As good as they’re are it’s still a business after all and marketing is key.
Thanks for reinforcing the the fact I should stop supporting my roses too much, the control freak in me is screaming but I know I just do what is best for my roses. 😆
..another caution with these roses, and from all vendors really, is to do with the often exaggerated descriptions of the fragrances... I don't know if they still do, but DA used to employ as their fragrance consultant, Robert Calkin, who was formerly Chief Perfumer at Yardley's... he often uses terms like ''patchouli'' or ''aldehydic''.. few would know what these means... they don't appear in more basic catalogue descriptions, but even so, what he describes is unlikely to be what most of us could discern..
..besides they are in the business of selling roses... we can be more critical...
Hi Marlorena I know you're closing this discussion but I thought I might get some advice here before it goes... Which of the following roses would be best suited to pot growing in your opinion? Munstead wood or lady Emma hamilton? Many thanks in advance and for always being so helpful!
@Ffoxglove oh Lady Emma H undoubtedly... I thought you had both of these actually, but maybe mixing you up with someone else... I consider M Wood too thorny and stiff for pot culture.. you want something graceful with a more cascading, looser habit..
Thank you! I have Ben dreaming about them for some time whxih is probably why it seems I have them but not yet... The lady it is! I do like orangey roses I've found... Quite the surprise to me.
