I was also drawn to Natalija @pitter-patter and Mystic. Am still tempted to yolo it and buy a couple. Only problem with growing roses is that it'll be a while to see whether they were worth it or not!
I’ve long been thinking about making rose petal chutney.. imagine having some Desdemona chutney or Munstead Wood chutney with the crackers at Christmas.. I wonder if they would retain their unique fragrance when preserved..
The first rose to flower, my new batch Of bushes. Double Delight. Looks good foliage and perfumed. Some of my bushes have black spot already, but not this one. Valerie
Enjoy the scent Valerie...weather warming up again soon, so we can expect a whole flood of blooms...
'Boufarik'... 'Lichfield Angel'... 'Anne Boleyn'... 'Munstead Wood'... 'Wild Rover' on arch... 'Marie Pavie' with Chives.. ..if you like late flowering Daffodils, this is just wonderful.. long winded name, but the scent is as good as any rose out there.. Narcissus albidus pleniflorus odoratus...
Stunning as always 😊 how do you find your growth on LA? Mine is rather wide plant that forms a canopy. It's almost like a tree as opposed to a shrub I dont have a bloom on mine as yet, but I have hope for early next week as the weather warms
@Jason-3 ...Jason, mine is in a pot.. when in the ground it wanted to grow as a climber, and the canes drooped a bit due to weight of the blooms, looking downwards, which I didn't like too much.. they are more upright as the season goes on - less petals.. ..as it's also mostly thornless, I thought raised in a pot would be better...where it's easy to manage, and looks down on me, rather than me looking down on it.. ..oh, and thanks..
