@WhereAreMySecateurs I'm impressed with your potted rose from Henry Street... not a nursery I know at all.. they look as good as a TW potted, in fact they appear to be in the same type of pot. Do you know if it's been recently potted or are there roots coming out the bottom? Just wondered.. thanks..
@Marlorena, yes, the same pots as TW's. They are freshly potted (they say so on their website and no, the roots are not filling the pot though a couple are touching the bottom) so I plan to leave this one be for a bit. If you sign up to their newsletter, you get 10% off. Courteous customer service, prompt despatch and tracked delivery, too. And a two-year rose guarantee. They have some things that don't seem to be available elsewhere- PCdM, Admiral, and the pretty 2018 Tropicana, for example.:) https://henrystreetnursery.co.uk/products/rose-tropicana
@WhereAreMySecateurs, I have had PCdM for a year. It turned out to be taller than what I had expected. Too early to judge otherwise. I have it in a pot.
@WhereAreMySecateurs ..thanks, I thought that might be the case but looks good.. they have some nice roses.. pity they don't have 'Bolero'.. but nobody does here it seems..
Thanks, @newbie77. Taller is OK for me as I will probably put it in a narrow border in the ground beside my new fence where it can choose its own height... but hopefully not Queen Elizabeth tall. Can't be doing with any other 10ft pink monsters.:) Did you get any nice PCdM pics and is the fragrance good in its first year for you?
@Marlorena yes, not sure why that one is not available anywhere. I might ask C and K Jones.
I think this is PcDM photo. I should tag/name rose photos. I forget later on which is which.
What happened was last year my Abraham Darby rusted too much and I looked for an alternative and bought this. Now it was my mistake to compare it all the time because Abraham Darby is like Evelyn, so unique that most roses wont look/smell as good if you compare just the flowers (ignoring health, habit etc).
On its own PcDM is nice rose, fragrant and beautiful. It was a bit protected from rain so cant say much about that aspect.
^pretty pink rose, I think it does well in a warmer climate too..
Highlighting today, if you like purple semi double roses.. 'Forever Royal' bred by Frank Cowlishaw, an amateur breeder from Derby, who also struck lucky with the popular 'Rhapsody in Blue'.. 'Purple Skyliner' and 'Odyssey'.. all his best efforts..
'Forever Royal' remains my favourite.. I find it has a good scent.. flowers May-Nov, these are from August.. Note the healthy foliage at a time when so many others more popular, are blackspotting..
Thank you, @newbie77. I totally get it. I have a certain roses whom I love so much that every other one would suffer horribly in comparison... for me, it is Boule de Neige. But excited about just-planted Evelyn, too.
And your PCdM makes my heart flutter. I am happy to get it. I wish I could find Sophie Rochas here, too
