@Omori haha I was worried about my long list too Looking forward to seeing how your pheno geno do, Natalija still blooming away here. Peach about to open hopefully.
@Marlorena that lilacy unnamed I have is nicely scented too! Was a random garden show purchase. Its a bit blackspot prone.
Some nice looking supports above. I mostly use simple metal half-hoop plant supports at varying heights, they are discreet, straight-legged and easy to adjust/remove for pruning etc. Handy for the odd drooping cane or occasionally I use several to fully encircle a rose.
@Marlorena, well most UK roses are unavailable to me now, post brexit, so my choices are part expediency, part ongoing trials as to what will do well in my often mad climate and a bit of lucky dip thrown in for good measure. All good fun!
Ah yes, The rose of many names including The Anniversary Rose. I was admiring it as Dee-Lish in the US for ages before I cottoned on that TCL sold it as Elbflorenz/Line Renauld. Yours looks fab and I’m looking forward to the fragrance.
Mountainous Northern Catalunya, Spain. Hot summers, cold winters.
In: - Faustinia - Comtessa - Schloss Eutin - Dream Lover - The Bees Knees
Out: - Charles Darwin - Scepter'd Isle - Vick's Caprice - Archduke Charles - Eye of the Storm (dying)
Not sure yet - Astronomia (maybe I'll put it in a small pot) - Agnes Schilliger (not worth keeping but it is in a pot, so maybe can stay one more year) - Our Beth (I am not in love with it but the same as above)
Talking of unusual, I always have to look up a couple of yours @edhelka. I see you are getting into the yellow/peach colours, I have fallen down that rabbit hole too, from not especially liking those colours to more and more creeping in every year. I still draw the line at coral though!

@edhelka ..why don't you like 'Scepter'd Isle'? mine got full of disease after 6 or 7 years.. canker and all, but up to that point it was a favourite..

Basically the same reasons but I had problems with it from the beginning. BS, canes dying back, not growing much, slow repeat because of being weak. And also bad humidity resistance - the blooms rarely opened properly, stayed globular, never showing the inside, and rotted quickly. They felt way too thin and delicate.
I see that Arthur de Sansal is not very popular, lol. Can ypu tell me why you didn’t like it? I am asking because I just put down a little hedge of Portland roses (Rose de Rescht, Comte de Chambord and Jacques Cartier) and I was thinking to add AdS to it.
Mildew on mildew @dabolem, the foliage was hideous with it and the buds often didn't open or produced deformed flowers. Such a shame because it was my earliest rose and was covered in gorgeous fat buds. I had it in the driest warmest spot I had and tried all of milk , sulphur and SB Invigorator to no avail. I have RdeR, it's nothing like it.
