@Nollie, I'd like white lettering too but can't find the white! Is it that white crayon.? I think those tools allow for the making of the squiggley marks though.
No, you need to pull up you photo, select the mark-up symbol to display the lozenge shaped tool bar, then click on the text box, then click on the coloured circles to change the text colour - the multi-coloured circle pulls up the whole colour spectrum where white is, then select white. More complicated than it sounds, honest!!
@zugenie Interesting that your got 'Minerva'.. I wonder if you might like to know this little tale - not too long..
5 years ago I think it was released here but I had not heard of it... I was on an American forum at the time, and a young lady called Cori Ann from California raved about this rose in photos she had seen on a French blog by a rosarian called David Henriet, as she could not obtain it there.. I was alerted so I got it straight away from Style Roses.. Cori Ann had a beautiful garden, lots of obelisks, the idea she got from my garden at the time. Anyhow, long story short.. after I got it, I think edhelka saw my pics so she got one.. now you have it too from her.. Rose influence goes far and wide .. lol..
I lost all my photos of this rose, only this paltry one left of a young plant - doesn't do it justice.. wonderful scent, gorgeous colour, and foliage... but it may defoliate half way through season, but soon regrows back again.
Incidentally, that Plaisir du Jardin link Cori Ann put up is still available.. some gorgeous roses further down the page, past his apples..
Busy here with Grammar school allocations... Been raining here as well.. and received 30 bareroot perennial collection from T&M.. hope they will remain safe unpacked until the weekend..
Laughed at Mr Vine Eyes comment that most of us would jump at the Austins once they are announced.. I was thinking, That could be me.....
As Marlorena mentioned, I get a feel that their photos could be a deceiving.. second one is supposed to be a striking colour.. don't think that pink is striking enough..
Minerva looks stunning.. we all get inspired (envious ) from all the purchases and feedbacks here..
@Nollie Liked your labels.. how much are you getting them engraved for? I remember asking Timpson and it was something like 25 or 35 pounds for metallic plaques..
@pitter-patter Hope your surgery went well and you are recovering... not a nice thing to go through..
I don't have the catalogue as yet.. I also wondered about those new roses.. we shall have to wait and see but this seems a new venture for them, not offering bare roots, perhaps they have staffing problems.. I think it's a bit of a let down if you ask me.
On a lighter note, I went to Tesco this evening and they were selling standard roses for £1.97 each. You could get red, yellow or pink. it didn't really matter which one you chose as they were all gasping their last! So £1.97 for a meter long stick!
Hi everybody, long time no see. I am slowly waking up from winter sleep, although still not in the mood for gardening.
Anyway, I am here to rant.
I received the DA catalog today. It's so small and uninspiring! And no new rose. Also, are there different versions of the catalog? I've seen different photos of it on Facebook and I don't have that teaser about new varieties there... So, are they only introducing the new ones in May? I guess I won't be buying then.

Thanks again @Nollie.

Background of the name -Minerva was the name of the first automobile company in Belgium .
TCL sells it , but already sold out some time. ( I know because I wanted to purchase one this season 🫤)

No sign of my DA Catalogue either.

I was hoping they were going to tempt me. But unlikely, especially if I have to pay full price for a potted rose!
That Minerva is very pretty. Reminds me of how striking Rhapsody in Blue can be.
