Nollie, may be you will begin to like the coral tones.. I did not like single flowers much, but after Lyda rose I changed my heart...
Is it Boscobel's habit that you did not like Tack? looking at Rojas pics of Boscobel makes anyone change their mind..
Rose des Cisterciens almost went into my shopping cart WAMS.. later opted for white/ pink stripes than orange..
Rojas.. the way you have trained your climbers the deep cups of Jude is something.. I have heard of people commenting on its strong fruity scent.. does it repeat/ flower well for you? and is your Rosemane Janon in full sun? I have got one from TCL..
I really hope you can relax while you're away Newbie, if plants survived for others last year during that hot, dry period then that sounds reassuring.
New border widening done. It is between 2 to 3ft wider and I expect to keep widening it as the plants grow. Silas Marner and Standard Excelsa are already in. I still need to buy support for the latter but am not intending to buy a tuteur.Talking of Standards, I just noticed buds all over Canary Bird The colour and the habit Cooldoc. I have now tried various shade of orange and coral and now know definitively that I won't like them.
@cooldoc Thank you for the lovely comments. I love Jude's bloom form and the fruity strong scent, to my nose it's like fresh Lychee/Guava scent. It repeats well and the scent stays on the bloom for a long period. I've got Rosomane Janon from TCL too, planted in the afternoon sun and the colour changes constantly. The first flush is abundant and I can detect medium fruity scent.
I’m afraid Tack and I stand united on the coral front @cooldoc! As I say, I’ve got to like the softer peachy tones which perhaps verge on pale coral, but the a strong reddish orange coral is still verboten. I would say keep reds separate from the lilac/blue/purple theme, but happy to go with the flow. We will certainly miss Fire’s gorgeous reds 😞
@peteS has a fabulous Boscobel that he posted last year. Fancy showing those photos to us again Pete since it’s under discussion? I can’t recall whether you had it in a pot or the ground.

Forgot your earlier question Tack..
we have red/ crimson left as well.. Was not sure to start it as we recently posted all the reds? we can add that to Lilacs/ Blues/ purples?

New border is pretty impressive, Tack. Maybe you should have demanded that £1000 order with the 40 achillea mollis and 40 echinops.😁
@pitter-patter ignore me if being nosy but did RV Roger make it right after their courier stuck your order in a bin?
Mamma Mia is my favourite rose

I also have Port Sunlight but it doesn't like me or the garden, not really sure why.
we have an expression March ‘s tempers and Aprils’ whims..
Thank you Nollie, will send them an inquiry e mail . probably this is a reversed effect of Brexit 🫤.
@newbie77 25 houseplants! Oh boy I have only two 😬with a serious dislike to one of the duo. So I refuse even to water it. Plant of my dear OH.
Pale Apricot .
