It's geranium "Vision Pink". Geraniums are almost as addictive as roses, aren't they? *hides thread till payday*
That William Shakespeare is rather lovely, I will be interested how it copes with heat @Nollie. Boscobel, Charles Darwin and Eglantyne have suffered here on the patio in the sun like your LEH, it is very early for this and I don't remember it being as much a problem last year. Maybe the quick early growth is less tough.
Seedling 1 is a damp squib as a flower (at least first one is), I love the bud thoughSo glad I got Gruss an AachenMy mistakenly-sent rose Blue River has the very best scentLoS, one of my OH's favourites but without being able to say why not mine.And he predictably loves this, Strange Brew, both for its unusual colour and Cream reference. It is a very odd colour, stands out as a bit bizarre
For a first bloom, WS2000 is pretty impressive @Marlorena and @Tack, finger’s crossed it can cope with heat. MW does the best in heat of my Austins. Most of my roses had to grow a new set of top foliage after being blackened by frost, then hit by an early heatwave - topped out at 38c! In May! A fair number of mine are understandably looking frazzled, Tack. Charles Darwin was really horrible in ‘normal’ heat here. GaA is very fine, I’m so glad I got Buff Beauty!
Mountainous Northern Catalunya, Spain. Hot summers, cold winters.
@Eustace I think you have beaten us all with your GdeF bloom, mine not quite out yet.. and your Queen of Sweden is simply exquisite.. nice to see 'Charlotte' too, we don't see that one too often..
@Nollie Beware the so called octopus cane on WS2000, you should be getting one anytime soon, otherwise great scent..
@Tack I like that 'Strange Brew' too, is that really its name? or have I got confused.. and your 'Blue River' is gorgeous.. shame about the seedlings, but shows how difficult it is to breed a half decent rose.
@WhereAreMySecateurs thanks.. I shall remember that one, it's rather nice.. 'Vision Pink', I like the name as well..
We are jam packed with sumptuous roses today, and still so early in the season when you think about it..
C&K Jones call the colour brown! I think it's rust/terracotta ish with yellow. I like it,just don't know how to group it with other roses. Just found this on The GG
