I'll post more rose photos later, but I was very taken by this one.. 'Saint Nicholas'... this was found as a chance seedling in a garden in Yorkshire, in 1950.. believed to be a Damask/Gallica hybrid..
Some of my garden roses today.. some pollen beetles about.. 'The Wren'... 'Jude The Obscure'... 'Wild Blue Yonder'... 'Desdemona' in the Pebble Beach garden.. a cluster from 'Sally Holmes'... ..first bloom on 'Nye Bevan'...
..very nice @Shenny .. I like your clematis too, but you might want to post your pictures on the main Rose thread, so more people can see them.. I'm not sure how many look in here..
@newbie77 ..thank you... well it's got lots of buds waiting to open and is growing well, that's about all I can say.. nothing negative, but perhaps not hugely exciting either...

Rosa 'Sancta'.. the Holy Rose... of considerable antiquity, from the Middle East, possibly as early as the 4th century A.D...
'Flora McIvor'.. a hybrid Sweet Briar..
