    @Victoria Sponge ooo, Flanders looks lovely. How do you find it ?

    It is lovely @Fire and I can't take any credit because it is lovely without any assistance from me. It is in year 2, last year I had it in a pot where it did well too, a nice shape for a pot. Very healthy and flowers last well. No scent that I can detect but really it has so much going for it already😊

    I have a Crimson Glory that has been in for about four years, directly following a very old Golden Showers. I would guess that RRD has impeded the new growth all this time; but this is its year. It looks very like it will flower for the first time this year and will finally make its way up the fence.. Once it gets a little height, it will get more sun and will hopefully rocket away.

    I'm glad I held on

    @Fire, we are booked in for Fenton House on Friday. Many years ago I used to work with a young(ish) man who got his first job as a gardener there and I have always wanted to see it.

    Suesyn Lovely -- say hello from me. It's a good place to sit and muse, near enough to the Heath to begin or end a walk from there. Burgh House is also lovely - for the building and the cake. Also Keats' House down the road. For musing.
  • @Suesyn thankyou for posting the Pride of Cheshire rose.

    I'm still on the look out for a rose to represent each area that I've lived.  I've been hoping to get Cheshire Regiment but have been unable to find.

    This is a lovely alternative x

    @AlliumPurpleSensation I checked and CKJones have that lovely pride of Cheshire.  It looks gorgeous!

    @Nollie Thats my wishlist right there, your lovely lady Emma and yours and Mr Vine Eyes Munstead are making me want them! Im not sure whether to resist as it looks like its got an "exciting" habit, especially in a pot ;)   My new lady of Shallot is almost out today, im not sure if Lady Emma will be too similar, so Im looking at the pictures with interest.

    So many lovely roses.  Im eying up the front garden spaces with interest... ;)

    Does anyone know what "Heathcliffe" or "LD Braithwaite" old Austin red ones are like? Ive spotted a few in stock somewhere and was wondering what they are like as lovely big reds? @Marlorena have you experience of either?
