@londondesi100 and @Lizzie27 I’m getting quite ruthless at getting rid of roses that I don’t like or don’t suit me or my climate, but I’m going to offer PAoK and a couple of others to local friends and neighbours so hopefully they will enjoy another life!
@edhelka, gorgeous roses, love the colour on your Blackberry Nip.
@Marlorena, really lovely to see you dropping in, we have missed you and your roses. I am really looking forward to getting my two Marie Pavie on order, am thinking of planting them in pots either side of my front door.
Lovely sunny November weather here again so all those buds are opening..

Mountainous Northern Catalunya, Spain. Hot summers, cold winters.
@Katsa, no news yet from TCL yet and I ordered in August. I did get my Peter Beales order though, all good except a little disappointed in Alexander, only two canes plus a tiny 2mm skinny one that can’t really be called a cane. I’m sure it will be fine, but not what I would call A Grade, never had that from TCL even though they are a quarter of the price!

@Nollie That's good to know. I did send them an email to ask, but I imagine they're hugely busy at the moment. I'll just leave them be and keep my fingers crossed the roses arrive soon!
@Marlorena - so lovely to hear from you! I too have been spammed by DA, but have been pretty good at deleting the emails before I get too tempted :-) Definitely post more photos when you have a chance - I love your garden!
@londondesi100 I've bought from cottage memories and can really rate them. The roses are good quality and have really grown over the season.
@Nollie - your stormy weather looks gorgeous. @Katsa - thank you for following up re cottage memories -- next season !
Also -- re TCL -- does this basically mean that if some folks ordered in August and I only just ordered last week -- my bare roots will arrive 2-3 months later than august orders ? ( I was essentially hoping that as plants start being ready to be lifted in November , the first few weeks are dedicated to advance orders and i **should** only be a few weeks behind? ) Or am I overthinking everything as usual and it's all a bit random?
Lovely to see a late flurry of roses. I'm really looking forward to my RdeR and Blackberry Nip. Marie Pavie has been in and out of my list a few times.

Hey guys, finally got back to the front of this thread after a turbulent couple of months, glad you are all doing well and welcome to anyone new Everyone still seems to have lots of flowers, me not really.
I haven't heard from TCL either and I first placed an order in August (and then added to it) I'm not concerned about it though.
@londondesi100 bare roots don't normally start to despatch until Nov so hopefully you wouldn't necessarily have to wait 2-3 months. Just that any pre-order has to wait until that time but I suppose it is first come first served. Having said that, it's my first order from that supplier so who knows!
I just received my order from Lens which was a bit of a surprise as yesterday the tracking still was at 'sorted for despatch'. I'll go onto another device and try and add picture. I think they look alright. Walferdange is a bit spindly but has 4 spindles and I've never received bare roots with leaves before (Caroline's Heart has a hip!) so I wonder if I should temporarily dig them in rather than leave in the plastic or in a bucket. Any thoughts welcome. I'm working from home but am meant to be working, don't really have the daylight hours for planting properly until the weekend.

@Tack --- nice pictures and I'm now glad i ordered easy does it as one of my choices! @Victoria Sponge - let's hope so -- I was hoping to be in-situ pre-Christmas else I shall have to go find something to stick in the pots in the meantime so neighbourhood cats don't start using them!
@Victoria Sponge ...they look good.. I think it's the first time I've seen bare roots from Lens..
..either / or.. for your temporary measure... you could plonk them all in one hole in the garden for now, or soak in water until the weekend... no problems with that..
