I wouldn't know really, they both look quite nice, if a little different.. you would have to go through their rose inventory to see if they've sent you a different one, if you can find it, or go back to the vendor and see what they say about it..
I understand Twice in a Blue Moon and the original Blue Moon are virtually identical..
I don't think Proper Job likes the heat, its gone almost black and the petals are crispy. It's only been open for a couple of days. I might have to move it somewhere shadier but I'll wait and see if this is usual or just because its only been in a short while. (I don't think it's been that hot either,, maybe 22c but that's not hot, just pleasantly warm!)
Following your A to Z of Roses thread @Marlorena I bought A Midsummer Nights Dream. I got my first bloom yesterday and can only thank you for the recommendation 👏
@JAC51 ..oh that's nice, I'm so glad you're pleased with it, it's lovely... I have one in its 2nd, and another in its 3rd year and they have thrown up really vigorous shoots from the base, full of buds.. ..don't worry too much if it gets a bit of black spot this time of year, I just pull off any leaves that succumb, most of it stays clean for me.... ..adds good rich dark tones to the landscape..
Someone asked about The Churchill Rose a few days ago and I finally got around to taking some photos of mine (the apricot coloured blooms). It’s in its second year and is quite tall and sprawling. I think it might be better suited to being a small climber than a shrub. It blooms prolifically, has a lovely scent and has been very healthy for me.
@cooldoc. I just remembered I neede to update my Rose deR observation, lovely fat, round cerise buds day 1, open days 2 and 3, looking looser but not crispy or brown day 4, shattered early day 5

..Red Finesse looks a good splash of red..
I'm sorry about Proper Job, maybe some other reason..
Harlow Carr looks great against the blue sky, and I like Leah Tutu very much there..
I also take sky photos..
