I have Deep Secret at the front of a border that gets full sun. It’s very dark red, wonderful very strong fragrance, gets to be about 3 feet tall. Mine is still young, only planted it last July.
Nice to see everyone’s roses coming out. Minerva is gorgeous, I love purple tones, but suspect she wouldn’t be happy here.
@Marlorena, sorry I realised I didn’t reply to one of your posts about my soil (yes, a hard slog indeed!) and Julia Child. Interesting, I wonder if JC grows wilder in poor soil, mine is in pretty good, or at least well amended soil and behaving herself so far:
Wild Rover, goes fucsia pink in sun. Blackspot is working it’s way up the plant and it is 2/3rds defoliated below:
My new The Prince’s Trust opening - the camera washes out the colour, it’s a bit deeper in reality:

@Nollie ...your JC is gorgeous and makes me wish I still had it... certainly in the top 5 yellow roses... ...does The Prince's Trust have any scent? if so how would you describe it please..?
@Mr. Vine Eye patience will be rewarded... I know it can be a long wait unfortunately..
...hope you're all getting this nice bit of weather... lovely today isn't it?.. and 10C at night.. that'll bring them out ... I've just had 2 light frosts..
@Maelorena, you know you are asking the wrong person when it comes to scent, I am getting nothing from it! It’s scent is only described as ‘light’ anyway, I sent in OH to do sniff test, ‘smells faintly like like a rose’ wasn’t very helpful, then when pushed ‘maybe lightly fruity’

@Nollie .. thanks to you both for the sniff test, that's good enough for me.. and as long as it gives you a good show... I would expect it to remain in good health for you...
