@Nollie your The Prince is glorious! What’s magic behind please! I really wish to see that many in my plant !
Pictures taken today.. I am furious to see the list of DA discontinued roses. In my opinion they still sell so many other not performing roses. They should not have discontinued atleast these LEH , Munstead Wood, Shropshire Lad etc. LEH:
Munstead Wood:
Falstaff: Crocus Rose:
Wild Eric - there were only 2 stems when I got this as a bare root from TCL and it is really thorny and vigorous. It’s a second year bush. How should I prune this rose ? Should I cut back as half like others? Thank you
I forgot who has asked but I have Grafin Diana/Dark Desire/Royal Parfuma and it’s a 3 year old bush. Thorny, vigorous, healthy, grows tall each year, love the bronze colour stems, flower colour and strong scent. Agree with @newbie77 that flowers may not open at times (cold, continuous rain etc). Taken this summer. The last 2 pictures I have just taken to show the height and thorns
@Alfie_ There are a couple of reviews for you above.
@owd potter - I've had Munstead in the ground for a year and, no they are still like small shoots. They might have gone backwards. I think they are planted too close to a Moonlight rose, though about 70cm away. Whatever it is, they really aren't happy.
@Fire, I hope they do better for you potted. Mine is 1st year and I'd say it has performed well in the pot, produced numerous blooms and been very healthy. Notwthstanding not being watered for nearly a month during the heatwave, it again responded well and has produced another floriferous late flush. So I'd say I have been happy with it potted. But look at it! it's growth is all over the place which, TBF, maybe it's habit anyway. I think I want it for my new red border anyway, but would be nice to hear report from someone who has gone from pot to ground with one.

Missed out on LEH. Had it at the old house. Hoping that Lady of Shalott turns out okay.
