Yes finger’s crossed he comes Marlorena. I was only half a day without, amazing service since we live in the middle of nowhere.
It remains to be seen if my new reds stay red for me @Fire, I’m a sucker for punishment, having sworn sooo many times I wouldn’t get any more red roses, I appear to have four new ones this year.
Mountainous Northern Catalunya, Spain. Hot summers, cold winters.
Thanks for the heads-up re Autumn Delight @Marlorena, much appreciated. Tagging @owd potter who also has it on a wish list. I notice Trevor White has it too but I'll bear it in mind in case I do a big Beales order.
I also see they have Pelisson on the bin list, one I've often had an eye on...
Thanks for that @Victoria Sponge it is via TW that I found it. I seem to have a knack for choosing roses on the 'hit list'...
@cooldoc2000, My TCL roses were delivered today by Parcelforce.
Packed on the 28th March I am not surprised that they all have some dying cane tips and mould, but I think enough good material to be OK.Left to right: Carminia (with a hip!), Snow Ballet, Marie Pavie, New Zealand, Velvet Fragrance, Millie Rose.Bottom: Mainauduft.Can anybody give me any info on the Visser rose Carminia please, allegedly a small,fragrant, pink floribunda. I know TCL misspell names but I cannot find anything.
Some of them do look a bit ‘end of season’ @Tack, not the best from TCL. Marie Pavie especially looks poor. Maybe worth dropping an insurance email and photo to Vic Keltjens at TCL before you prune off the dead/mouldy bits?
I don’t know much about Vissers roses, I bought Eufemia on a whim and couldn’t find out much about that either!
Gone pretty chilly here, due some minus temps. Some new growth on roses already got a bit frostbitten last night, though it only dropped to zero.
Francis Dubreuil today, early days and no scent yet. A rather muddled bloom but I quite like it:

Vispablue is it, thank you @Omori. I can find some continental sales listings for it now. They all have the same picture. Ah well I can wait and see.
I have pictures @Nollie and have cut off the worst bits. I am hopeful, all the MP canes have good shoots lower down. I think they are ok too @Marlorena, bit of a shock on opening though.
I actually got the Millie Rose unexpectedly, it will be another wait and see though I hope it doesn't grow as large as HMF pictures from the US.
Thank you @Marlorena, so kind. It would be lovely if he replied. Fragrant, pretty and pot sized I thought it worth a punt. Strangely the most expensive (relatively!) of my order.

No big surprises though, Agnes an unpruned early flowerer and Blush Noisette which didn't get much of a trim this year, but good to see
