@Mr. Vine Eye...I've had 'Lady of the Lake' for quite a few years now and is probably my favourite rose. It never disappoints, is always in flower and smells lovely.
Good to see you back @celcius_kkw , I hope your trip was all you wanted from it. It is cold out so only had a quick inspection and recce the sites for the PB roses. The only rose I had any concerns about was the weak Eufemia specimen I got from TCL in late Dec as shown below and today
Also pleased how Blue River is looking at soil level.WAMS, the scent is the draw with Savoy as I don't need another pink either. Veilchenblau is one I have always had a hankering for, it will be given a chance to see if I can tolerate a once flowering climber, will need to be wow.
They all look great, @Tack. Blue River looks as though it might snag one's cardie from time to time!
I just spoke to a friend who has Savoy Hotel and they said its fragrance is only mild... but that the Harkness "Hamilton Princess" is similar and has a terrific fragrance (and is £9 at Cottage Memories🙄). With friends like this, who needs enemies...
I'm well stocked up on compost for mulching now. 800L for £40 not too bad! Same price as last yea, it's a different brand so hope it's as good as last year's.
Peat Free
That's a great price! Can I ask where you ordered from please?
Wow so many messages to catch up. Love all dog photos and the dog art.
Nice to hear from you @celcius_kkw. Looking forward to your rose photos.
I love hostas but very hard to keep the leaves intact with all the snails. Couple of years ago I had 18, some with very fragrant flowers. Now I have downsized to five.
@Mr. Vine Eye, that is very good price. There is nothing here for even double the price.
@peteS - yes we spoke about her when I first ordered a couple of years ago. Actually I can’t remember how old she is. If this is third year or second. Must be third, I think she just didn’t grow much last year.
Just had to email crocus to complain about a clematis they sent, hopefully they resolve it swiftly
winter clematis was sent half dead and now seems to be fully dead, I should have complained when I received it! Will definitely have to order from taylors next time judging from the plants you’ve all received!
