Sorry, I thought the labels were legible, but obviously not after reducing the photo in size. I’ve finally joined the Ghislaine de Feligonde team, which is the thornless rose; the other one is Midsummer Night’s Dream.
Rose I got from Dewilde.. not sure if anyone here has got refund/ replacement sent from them.. their shipping was fast.. got lost in postnl warehouse I guess.. all the canes were shriveled as in the pic and some of them dead.. none of the stems were thick.. a poor specimen which was lost in shipping...
Thanks WAMs, maybe I’ll try it without the obelisk first, I’m finding metal is not the best support material after last year’s heat especially, so of I can get away without that would be preferable.
@cooldoc, Like newbie, Dewilde sent me 2x WS2000 instead of The Prince. They couldn’t resupply TP so sent me 2 alternatives instead, a really excellent Thomas a Becket specimen and one pretty wimpy Gertie. My first lot arrived totally dried up, probably because the roots were wrapped in brown paper and not plastic, but they did rehydrate after 24hours plunged in a bucket. Those ridged stems are a concern though..
Ah, Purple Lodge/Palais Biron, you need this one as much as I need Twilight Zone! Mine is in sun but would probably be more purple with a bit more shade..
Mountainous Northern Catalunya, Spain. Hot summers, cold winters.
Yes, more than the colour it was the scent that I was after Nollie.. will have to wait till next year, as I got couple of purples this year.. hopefully they will be as scented..
I had asked them to cancel Julio even before the final order, but they shipped anyways without charging extra.. It was going to be either Julio or Crazy fashion, as I wanted to replace my 'Thanks a Million' from styles.. Now both will have to compete it out..
Oops, thank you WAMS,I hadn't received the email yet and there was only one JdeV in stock so got bounced into buying. Will go beautifully with Purple Lodge , those pictures are stunning Nollie. I have bought the DA slow release rose fertiliser, I didn't really think about it enough. I suppose the old one is not available because of the fertiliser shortage so this is not necessarily a new and improved DA product, damn.
Edit: It's arrived, it's ok because the pack says it is an improved formula
Nice, @Tack! Joie de Vivre is one of those super-photogenic ones. Can't wait for your pics. I had hoped to snag a cheap Souvenir du Docteur J but he was sadly OOS.🎻

Curious to know what you ordered @pitter-patter
Later on over summer I realised it's not the Prince either.
Best of luck for the exam results.
