I have a whole ton of photos today, which will get ridiculous, so I'll just do a few at a time.. maybe some more later.. 'Desdemona'.. 'Jardin des Tuileries'... 'Comte de Chambord'... 'Souvenir de St. Anne's.'.. 'Scented Garden'...
@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..
..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..

..just to add that, 'Armada'.. and 'Cornelia' are the parents of 'Octavia Hill'... nice to have the family together..
