@Victoria Sponge I'm delighted you got 'Triomphe des Noisettes'... although it's rather far from being a true noisette and takes more after its Hybrid Perpetual parent, i.e. rather tall and lanky growth habit, that benefits from horizontal training or pegging.. the scent is divine - well I thought so.. although I did find some of the blooms initially as being not very attractive, but they grew on me in the end... here's just one.. very large blooms.. the 'triomphe' refers to their size..
Speaking of thorns, I hadn't noticed til yesterday quite how thorny Rhapsody in Blue had become. It's one of those that has lots of large thorns with a multitude of smaller ones in-between covering the cane. Have to be careful!
My bit of excitement was seeing how far Lady of the Lake has come on with the warm sunshine. Enough to say it's in leaf!
Hi, does anyone have a Trevor White discount code (free delivery or anything)?
I’m thinking of possibly joining the pheno geno test club, though I really have no room. Interested in Pear — would love to hear from those who’ve already got that. @peteS I think you mentioned you had it, any photos from last year?
Draga also looks great… Will be following any updates from you on Draga with interest, @Victoria Sponge!
I haven't got a TW code @Athelas, to be honest I don't think I've ever had one. Yes I will try and post more photos this year, inc Draga
Thanks @Marlorena, haha, I should have known you would have sampled TdN...I just went back and found a couple of posts from you. Do you still have it? I'm going to try and grow it on a fence and then over onto the arbour roof, about 3 metres in height and not an awful lot of width. Will report back P.S thanks for the extra info above!
VS... no I no longer have it. My plant was 'own root' as I imported it from France.. TW didn't sell the rose in those days, it's a recent acquisition for them. This meant my rose took a long time to establish being own root. You should have a much quicker response with a grafted plant.. Mine was on a fence..3 metres is do-able..
