Does anyone have any experience of this rose? It looks stunning and i am tempted to treat myself, but has anyone had any issues with it or any experience of its health? Tia

  • I apologise for my last comment. I hadn't realised that was the name of the rose.
    I'm not familiar with it, sorry. Hope you hear from someone who has grown it.

    Thanks @yorkshirerose. I've decided to buy it. Whats the worst that could happen?😬
  • It’s not a rose I know but it does look lovely. Wish we had the space for more plants here 😂. 
    Let us know how it does for you ... it may go on some wish lists 😊

    @gjautos
    ...this is 'Alfred de Dalmas'.. aka 'Mousseline'...

    ..there are I think 3 in this picture, so to get an idea look at the one closest to camera for size and shape..   it's not in my garden, I took the photo at Mannington Norfolk..
    ..although a 'Moss' rose, it's only lightly mossed but it's not overly prickly for this type of rose, which is nice..
    ..about 4 x 4 feet.. continuous blooming June to October..

    @Dovefromabove, I'm having an overhaul. Alot of established plants and shrubs are going over the winter, otherwise i wouldn't have space either! 
    @Marlorena, thanks for the photo, looks healthy enough to me. I find moss roses fascinating, i don't have any yet. I will see how i go with this one.
