I wish you hadn’t posted that @purplerallim. I’m trying to rationalise my very long list and just crossed BfY off it, now you have me agonising again 😆
Nowt much new to show, but (sold in commerce as) Francis Dubreuil has graced me with the first bloom on it since late spring. It’s tiny, only 3cm across. The plant is tiny too and hasn’t shaken off the initial mildew no matter how much I feed and water it. Underwhelmed so far..
Mountainous Northern Catalunya, Spain. Hot summers, cold winters.
I have two patio roses Sparkle, that are not doing quite as hoped. They have had mildew all summer, but have put on some growth. They have had one rose at a time, so there has never been a time without a bud. As they were new bare roots last winter I'm hopeful it was first years blues.
i have a question, hope someone can help me here: I am waiting for a Phyllis Bide to put on an arch in front of my porch.
First question: is it better to put her on the shadier side of the arch or in the sunnier one? I mean, her roots will be better with less or more sun? (The arch is facing South, so the East side will have the sun till 15, while the West side will have sun only till 13, due to the porch angle.
second question: Which shrub rose would you put near Phyllis Bide? Of what color? And maybe some other plants?
That is indeed a lovely bouquet newbie, anyone would be proud to carry that down the aisle.
@purplerallim - BfY is back on the list. I didn’t take much persuasion did I? 😆
Exciting discovery, my new climbing noisette, Duchesse d’Auerstadt, has been busy growing canes all year and doing rather well in that respect, but has just given me her very first bloom:

Thanks you Omori, Fire and Nollie. I have been enjoying flowers of Evelyn. I wish I had bought one more plant. She isnt healthy but not too bad either.
Hello, sorry if it has been mentioned before but I can't pretend to have read every page of this mahoosive thread (though I hope to when I go on annual leave)- does anyone have any thoughts on the 1949 rose, Aloha? The pictures are beautiful, but I was wondering about scent, trainability and also longevity.
Thanks, @purplerallim ! I'm really happy with my Blue For You - it's been the best performer of all my new roses this year, never stopped blooming. I will probably put it in the ground eventually but it's done well in this pot.
They really are good aren't they @SeahorseFriend with just dead heading they continue to flower. It might put on alot of growth next year, so might need to be in the ground either next spring, or certainly the year after.
@pandakoalagirl49lS9c8QR_ ... Re 'Aloha'.. this is a rose I often recommend to anyone wanting an easy to manage, shorter climbing rose, with good scent, in pink.. it's quite upright and can be trained in a narrow area if required, although it will spread out with age if allowed.. it's deservedly popular and has stood the test of time.. There are others more fashionable in the modern age, but it's still a 'go to' rose..

A picture good enough for any posh magazine @newbie77 - what stunning roses and great light!
