I agree Victoria that is too much for me too but thank you for the info. Now that I've given myself permission to get rid of roses I am lukewarm about, they have to not be expensive in the first place. I have managed to give away Queen Elizabeth, Madam Isaac P, LadyoS and a potted banana tree this week. I am delighted they will give others joy so that is definitely not a waste.
The newest TPO tree in town was planted today in sunshine. It arrived and stunned us at 18ft but it's in and fingers crossed.While I was out there these opened fully
@Tack, how ever did they get a 18ft tree through your letterbox!! Fingers crossed it establishes well and is a long way from your house. I speak from experience as one who has two 50ft birches within 3-4 metres of our house, not a good idea at all.
Lovely, @newbie77. I was also cheered up by bringing in a few things today.... Dee-Lish, Emily Bronte and Rose des Cisterciens looking much yellower than previous flushes
I don’t have any appetite for buying roses direct from DA, their bare root prices are more than double the norm for the EU, they don’t offer standards and I hate their policies. Hence snaffling them up from other suppliers while I can!
@Imprevu I had a look, Peach Ghislaine looks more pink than peach on the complete bush shots, so I’m not sure there is much difference between original GdeF anf Pink GdeF. It says it’s a ‘descendant’ of GdeF, so maybe a seedling/cross rather than a true sport? You will have to try it and report back!

Love the two roses.
My desk with a rose, Abraham Darby. It gave me company all day today 😊
not completely sure if I like the flower …but it is clearly a vigorous climber .

I decided to try Lolabelle instead... get away from DA roses a bit.
Quite amazing colour on your GDf, @imprevu!
