    That Lyda rose is really sweet @cooldoc, be interested to see how it gets on as it grows up.

    Thanks @Nollie. It is Lady of the Lake, it is being held up on a wing and a prayer. I need to get someone in to build it a proper home as it is lovely and flowers its little heart out.

    @cooldoc, ha, yes, if in doubt, call it a Hybrid Tea seems to be the breeder Tantau’s mantra. It’s fairly HT in habit, tho, much more so than edhelka’s Chippendale.. Perhaps Tantau’s German/Northern European customers prefer HT’s, so it plays better to their main market. Grandiflora is not a classification used much in Europe, more the US (although their rosarians are rather sniffy about it) but it does actually suit Deep Secret’s Jekyll and Hyde nature.

    I really do have to get a Desdemona, so remiss not to 😊

    Thanks @Ditsy, wow, didn’t realise the Lady of the Lake got to such dizzy heights, fabulous.

    @Bright star (or should I call you temptress!) very lovely. The only thing I hesitate about is it’s sometimes cream/apricot tones, which would not suit my strictly white/pink/purple roses scheme in the East Garden, but I will probably order one and see.

    @Nollie her buds are pale pink, opens to a cupped cream centre and then they are pure white..

    @Omori Mme IP was on my short list (like countless others) but I went for Comte de chambord..

    @Victoria Sponge she will throw (basal growths) canes that grow super tall within a week.. the new canes are full of buds as well..

    Hi
    apologies if this has been asked before but I am super excited. I have many buds on my roses this year ( 2nd year) but am wondering what to do about multiple buds on the same stem. The buds are close together, so should I leave them or cut the buds off and only leave one bud to flower. Photos attached of DA pilgrim. Thanks

    @Shenny have you not seen any of the pics in this forum...?? :/ just leave them.. that is what they are supposed to do.. they might flop.. they might be small.. who cares.. more the merrier.. as the main blooms start fading the others start opening up.. just keep on deadheading the spent blooms...
