My roses aren't quite yet making pretty shapes - I hadn't appreciated how long they take to settle in properly - but the individual flowers are lovely.
Wildeve. Actually quite a good name for it. Flowers profusely but almost throws itself into flower and then throws all the petals off.
DA Molineux. Seems to be a marmite rose. I love its leggy habit and the yellow works well with the blues that are on either side of it but I can understand why people aren't so keen. First year but doing well all things considered. I think I might underplant with geranium rozanne eventually.
Munstead Wood.
Ginger syllabub. Smells wonderful.
Olivia Rose Austin. This one flowers slightly differently to the three that I have at the back of the house. This one is in part shade, the other three are in full sun. All four are so healthy and bushy and flower well into autumn.
Beautiful @Omori, there was an equally lovely Albertine growing up a tree posted a while back, seems pretty versatile as a climber.
I’ve certainly seen it on a video somewhere @Fire, but can’t remember where except to say it wasn’t youtube! It’s dead simple, as Omori, says, just take a long lateral and bend and tie in near horizontal exactly the same as with a main cane and it then becomes a main cane. This one on Soul started life as a lateral but since tying in has produced loads of it’s own laterals:
Mountainous Northern Catalunya, Spain. Hot summers, cold winters.
I love the Munstead Wood @Hazyb, does it need full sun or would it be ok with a bit of shade? And I'm so tempted to try a couple of roses in pots @cooldoc....
Hi @bullfinch it’s in full sun which David Austin Roses recommends. They say to position it south, east or West facing so may take some shade providing it gets around 6 hours or so of sun?
