I was told by the speaker, when I raised the question, how they dealt with blackspot but apparently they don't get it at all. I was astounded! The speaker also told me that if you have blackspot in your garden, then you will always have it which is a bit of a blow.
Well that's not exactly true! I went in October last year, while I realize that it was coming to the end of the season, but I would say 80% of the roses had blackspot! It was the first thing that I noticed because it made me feel so much better about my own roses not being in grea condition.
Not my invoice...I hope. Bears no relation to my order which was confirmed after I checked out. I have been expecting the plants today, what if this order arrives tomorrow?

@TracyP, well, I must say I was a bit sceptical, having seen the absolutely packed beds with hundreds of roses.
@Tack nice collection you got there.. was eyeing Fragonard for sometime.. was not sure if I should go for another pink..
amazing DA pics @Busy-Lizzie hoping to visit this year.. just 40mins drive for me..
Yellow theme anyone?
Ab fab.. wonderful bloomer.. not strongly scented for me..
Domaine de Chantily.. liked the fragrance and bloom shape.. single blooms good for cutting..
Stephanie d' ursel.. clusters of bloom.. bit unruly in overall shape..
Golden celebration.. been amazing for me in its second year.. always in bloom like Desdemona with short breaks..
Celine forrestier.. was not impressive in its first year.. scent was disappointing as well..
Henri Delbard.. another good performer.. huge blooms...
and Bring Me Sunshine...was disappointed by the colour but nicely fragrant and good bloomer (DA eventually changed the colour description)
