"Carmen Wurth" looks a very pretty rose @Marlorena, lovely colour. Which other ones did you get? I think you should go for it with the new thread, we are nearly at the end of January and the nights are drawing out after all....
How sad that a pragmatic observation on the cow pat this country has just stepped in brought out all the usual low level jingoism.
Thanks for the info as usual @Marlorena we all appreciate all you share on here and there was nothing wrong with your original wording. Let us know how they do over the upcoming season.
@AnniD …. Anni, the other 3 besides Carmen Wurth, are 'Sangerhauser Jubilaums rose' [I know...lol... it's also called Floral Fairy Tale]… 'Jardine des Tuileries' and 'Wildberry'...
I've never heard of any of them before... so I'm looking forward to those...
Another great effort that's been going on elsewhere.... a joint effort by Canadian and U.S. rosarians across border..... is to preserve and offer for purchase, older David Austin roses, bred here of course but no longer offered by DA and considered obsolete in this country.... roses bred from the late 1960's to about 2000... they become obsolete often deliberately as DA can no longer claim royalties due to the patent expiring... so they remove older roses from their inventory... and replace with new ones, supposedly better, but not always so...
...some people in Ontario, Canada, working in partnership with others in the U.S. have obtained dozens of these old Austin roses for propagation purposes... they even got a professional rose budder from England to go over there and graft them to rootstocks.... once they have a sufficient number, these roses will be offered for sale to Canadian and U.S. gardeners, thereby preserving these no longer offered [in UK] roses... which are very much worth preserving... even if DA don't want to...
..it takes a lot of co-ordinated effort to do something like that.... all credit to them, and what a pity there is no initiative to do that here, although we do have 2 other gardens - one is at Lord Michael Heseltine's... that preserves British bred roses from other breeders long lost... but they are not being propagated and offered for sale, which I think is a shame...
...Thanks Daniel... I'll see how things are next week... I'm expecting some more roses - needless to say... and from Holland this time... or is it The Netherlands..? I'm never really sure these days...
That's interesting @Marlorena - about DA discontinuing roses because of royalties. I stupidly thought they'd stopped because better ones had come along. Yes please for another rose thread.

Please... this is a thread about roses, on the Plants section of a gardening forum....I went to a lot of trouble taking and posting photos that may be of interest to those of us who buy roses from wherever we can get them... and I strongly object to tit for tat arguments on any thread I start... thank you...

And I agree about you starting a new thread @Marlorena
