  • Hello rose fans! Has anyone had experience of DA’s ‘Harlow Carr’? 

    I was thinking of one for a pot on my patio. I’m wanting fragrance, and wondered if the habit of this rose would look shapely in a pot. 

    Also thinking of generous gardener for a pergola over the patio. Again, scent a primary consideration - hoping for ‘wafts’ 😁

    Hello @jennyfleur. Yes I have Harlow Carr, it’s nice and compact so very suitable for a pot. Extremely thorny though so handle with care! The blooms do nod, so if you could raise it up a little, you will get to see more of their faces rather than the back of the blooms. The fragrance is not strong for me, nothing like as strong as other Austin roses like Lady Emma Hamilton - another compact and very floriferous rose suitable for a pot.
    Mountainous Northern Catalunya, Spain. Hot summers, cold winters.
  • Thank you @Nollie! Just took a look at Lady Emma Hamilton, and I’m intrigued, will investigate it further! I bought Roahl Dahl last year, but was a little disappointed with both the colour and the scent TBH, hoping it might improve a little as it matures. But maybe LEH is just what I’m looking for!
