I got RMG in Feb 2020 and that’s the first bloom ever, ‘definately’ worth waiting for. If anyone missed @owd potter’s references, better watch out, else the chis might grass you up to AC12 😆
I’m partial to the occasional extravagant bloom, but Pure Poetry is a Tantau too far for me, even if it gets better later on it may not be a keeper. Soul and Heidi Klum are stars though, you win some, you lose some..
I didn’t know you couldn’t notch a leggy shrub rose @Marlorena, just as well I didn’t get around to doing The Prince. Although that has ambitions to be a climber.
Mountainous Northern Catalunya, Spain. Hot summers, cold winters.
@owd potter afraid that went straight over my head, you might have to explain! Only H i can think of is that chap from steps Im actually nottingham way but not from there originally, east mids is a bit of a large area hehe.
My pheno geno arrived, looks wonderful quality as I would expect from trevor whites and has several buds already.
My gw mag just landed.. with 20% off harkness roses, the day after I ordered. Doh! Anyone else tempted by them check the mag first
@Tack look forward to seeing it open fully, certainly pretty.
@Marlorena thank you. Several friends have had similar reactions so half expected. Day in bed with GW magazine i think! Fab youve had second now, must be a relief.
Ahha @JessicaS, It's rumoured there was someone in the country who hadn't watched Line of Duty... The search for H is a long plot line through all 6 series. Much of it is set in east mids, and filmed in Nottingham & Derby. If you haven't seen it, get it on catch up, very excellent TV. Anyway, excuse my digression, as you were rose people...
@owd potter ..i must be that one person because I had no idea what you were talking about.. had to look it up, although I admit it's something I had vaguely heard of somewhere.. [sorry..]
@owd potter ah i see! I was very confused nope neither hubby and I watch it, we seem to miss the big hits until long after; bodyguard, broadchurch etc!
Oh @Marlorena, how I wish I could trade places with you, and not only because of your fantastical rose knowledge either... To have LoD in front of me again...
I was lost as well! I'm jolly glad you mentioned that notching was only done on climbing roses @Marlorena, I was all set to having a go on my Eglantyne tomorrow! oops. I did wonder why it doesn't work for all roses?
No rain, but it’s been really cold here today, the central heating has even come on, it’s nearly June for goodness sake! Back to roses then, a bit of Soul food from me to end the evening:
