    @cooldoc  Both Indigo and RDR have a lovely scent - slightly different to each other to my nose.  Flower forms, growth habit and colour are different to each other also. I’ll see if I can find photos over the weekend.

    ..embraketing is a word I'd like to use, if I only knew what it meant..

    I could have wrote the exact same para as Tack!

    I’m glad I cancelled my tcl order tho, apart from pot pets, the other roses were ill-advised additions to the hot border from hell where roses go to die,  plus climbers/ramblers for a new fedge project. The ground for the latter turned out to be mainly solid rock!

  • @Nollie - I thought tasting the soil was a vital step in the planting process! Are you trying to say it’s only optional!? 😉

    Henceforth my plant fleeces will be winter veils.
  • The instructions for my Rambling Rosie standard (Style Roses) specify that I need to keep it protected from frost in the first season, otherwise I will lose the warranty in case the rose fails. I thought this was strange. Was anyone else advice to do the same?

    I clearly have been doing wrong all these years and will certainly be dunking my overnight misunderstanded roses in a vat of chocolate praline in future - now that I would taste! I dread to think what kind of google translated queries I have been sending to French suppliers but hopefully it’s kept them entertained.
