    oh gosh aren't they all gorgeous, huge roses, very relaxed French style layout of roses I would say.. with property to match... 

    I like the pink one 3rd first set, on the wall.. and I notice a large 'Benjamin Britten' 3rd one up from the bottom, 2nd set of photos,  much better than mine I had here..   thanks so much..

    I think the 3rd pink one is Pierre de Ronsard, the Eden Rose, pretty but no scent.
    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    I was so hoping it is that @Busy-Lizzie as I was mistakenly sent Pierre Ronsard recently and that looks gorgeous, as does the whole garden.

    @Marlorena your Cornelia looks amazing! Is it as thornless as DA’s Kew Gardens?

    @Oliya
    ..yes, no thorns at all, not even at the base where you sometimes can find some on low thorn roses... but like Kew Gardens, they do tend to have very tiny prickles on the back of leaf stalks, that's the only place you find them, but we don't regard those when we talk of thornless roses..

    There's a purple Old Fashioned Rose called 'Reine des Violettes' which is also thornless, and it repeats,  which I think would look great with 'Cornelia'..
