This thread has a lot to answer for! After looking through the photos posted (and getting advice on here as to which 'kind' of rose to buy) i have ordered another four roses,the first one i got having been planted at my allotment.I shall have to stop looking as i'm not sure where i'll put them all!
..well done @Klink ..keep up the good work.... just so you have company, I've just ordered 2 roses from C and K Jones and 4 roses from Roseraie Ducher in France.. keep plenty of pots handy..
I've ordered 3 from T&M-Golden Showers,Ramanas Rose and scented double white,they were on an offer so i thought why not.Another is from TW ,Moonlight. Not sure if they're a good choice but i liked the look of them so i'm happy.Be happier when they arrive!
I like the look of Moonlight. I think I've seen Golden Showers on here but the others are new to me at least. Next year is really going to be a treat on the rose thread as everyone's orders are so varied and interesting. I hope everyone shares pictures.
Today I moved some more plants around including Gabriel Oak and Eustacia Vye. As I didn’t like where I’d put them this year. Too awkward to reach!
This is Eustacia Vye just interesting that she’s already growing her own roots in the first year. Like @Marlorena showed with her Munstead Wood a while ago. Could have taken a cutting if I fancied.
@Mr. Vine Eye ..yeah, Austins are quick to put down their own roots usually... as you have 5 canes on that rose, I would probably have cut off that one... I like own root roses..
@Marlorena No surprise that I don't recognise yours! I like the look of Wild Blue Yonder. New Zealand with average 6inch blooms, wow. Your french ones I need to spend more time finding info, not too common here then.
I bought Carmen late in the season from Kordes as a 2lt PlantOFix , it has given me one perfect bloom so no verdict on that yet though the foliage is great yes. I won't bother with PlantOFix again, hardly cheaper and a plant for the following season I reckon. Maybe it will have some advantage over a bareroot but potted were available just a couple of Euro more.
