    Wow, that's beautiful @Omori

    I took this one off my shopping list, maybe I need to reconsider.

    @Victoria Sponge Don’t think I’d be without this one...very fragrant (citrus), floriferous, vigorous, nice shape, and pretty bronze new foliage. 

    The cons are medium disease resistance but I’ve found her to be fine in this regard, and in hot/humid weather she can fade/get splotchy.

    Lovely @Marlorena How do you find Comte de Chambord, for me in its second year it is still very small, although makes nice flowers.

    @Omori
    ...mine is growing well now after a slow start...lots of buds and vigorous growth this spring..  I have found it to be better in a site shaded from mid day sun, where the soil is moist, .. the blooms are larger and better formed and more leafy looking.. so my rose gets sun very early, then mid afternoon on...
    ...the scent is gorgeous, and you can tell where Gertrude Jekyll gets hers from..

    Thank you @Marlorena I have a spot I could move her to that she might do better in.

    ..oh what a lovely bargain bin rose @rock_hen
    ... you got lucky there I would say...

    Omori.. just to say that in my very dry, sometimes very hot windswept conditions, I think it's better placed where it is, but in other areas I couldn't say... might need more sun.. my neighbour has two, and whilst they bloom well, they always look washed out and quickly blown in full sun..
