    Thanks Tack, hmm, yes I expect it would be cream and brown here, like my Charles Darwin was - that was truly horrible! I broke my ‘get the deepest, most intense colour to get a mid shade’ rule last year to try some softer yellows and apricots and needless to say they are mostly white! Anyway, I’m supposed to be downsizing, ha ha…

    DA are still marketing Bring Me Sunshine as tasteful apricot rather than cheerful yellow.

    I was going to try TCL but decided to augment my order with Trevor White in the end.

    No more rose orders for me until I sort out my garden. That doesn't mean I cannot have a wishlist going. 😎

    I can't remember how many times I almost pressed the 'Proceed to checkout' button and then backed out.. spending time here definitely does not help.. :D

    The one TCL rose I was seriously looking at is 'Thierry Marx', 2019 Delbard rose. And it is sold out now... I don't think it was sold out yesterday, or maybe I didn't notice?

    Maybe something for @Nollie 's taste, available from other EU sellers.

    Oh shame it’s sold out on you, perhaps they only propagated limited supplies of their new roses @edhelka. Lots of roses that were oos last year are still oos this year too, which makes me think they are also downsizing. I notice they have some new Guillot roses, I could be tempted to try one or two of those. If I prevaricate long enough that they sell out that’s probably a good thing!

    One thing about Delbard roses, or at least the ones I’ve tried, is that regardless of whether they call them shrub, floribunda or even ground cover, they all are all fairly stiff and upright in habit, more ‘modern HT’ really. I don’t know if that’s true of their painter’s roses or the likes of Belle de Jour..
