@PeterAberdeen hey... yes I've used them before, and lots of members here still use them. Mine was before Brexit but even now it seems they remain good value. I only had one issue in that one of my roses had rose mosaic virus, which is not serious and no other rose I got from them had it. I've not heard of anyone else having problems, sometimes a rose isn't available or they get a substitute.. but other members will put you in the picture, it's a few years ago for me..
@PeterAberdeen I've used TCL before and their bareroots are quite good. Such a wide selection of roses, unfortunately they're not allowed to ship DA roses to UK after Brexit. It takes almost 10 days for the package to reach you after they send it. So, they have to be planted/heeled in as soon as you receive the bareroots. They send you the bareroots and invoice you, you pay them. HTH.

@PeterAberdeen, I have also used TCL but that was pre-brexit. Their roses are good value. I had 1-2 mislabeled rose and 1-2 weak specimen but overall everything grew well and I am happy with my purchase.
As I am not ordering any DA roses from them, I should be OK. So order placed and lets see what happens! Do they need payment by bank transfer or can they be paid online?
I’ve never been disappointed with the quality of roses from TCL, Peter, although occasionally one is missed or substituted from your order. They missed out one rose from my order this year but gave me a free Roald Dahl so I wasn’t too miffed! Pay by bank transfer, they send you their details and IBAN so if you have banking online it’s easy.

I finished pruning all my roses today as it's actually been dry and sunny! Such a relief. As the ground is so wet though, I haven't fed them yet, would you still do it anyway or leave feeding them for another few weeks? I use granular rose feed but also have some liquid seaweed/tomato food if that makes a difference? Most of them are already putting out new shoots and a couple haven't defoliated at all.
Today was a warm and sunny day, though windy. Unfortunately I was stuck at work, so couldn't prune any more roses other than the ones done before 3rd Jan. Hoping that tomorrow is also a sunny day so that I can get on with the pruning. @Lizzie27 I'll hold off feeding the roses until late Feb. Tomorite/seaweed only when the buds start forming. That is how I do it. How about other fellow rose growers? When do you feed your roses? TIA. @WhereAreMySecateurs I worked out your rose after a bit of googling. Hoping to see the pure white blooms in the next few months. 🙂 @Liriodendron that's a good selection of DA roses you have there. Pity TCL don't send to UK anymore. I had a wimpy GJ from them; it was bought before Brexit. I thought it won't make it. But, it grew and flowered well past 2 seasons.

Thanks for the question on fertiliser, @Lizzie... I was just wondering the same. (BTW if anyone is buying rosefood or other sundries from Trevor White, the discount code VIPTEN takes 10% off those as well as off bareroots.)
Sorry @newbie77, my stupid joke. It's the John Paul II rose. I just always felt more drawn to George and esp Ringo than John or Paul.:)
The Cottage Memories roses came and they are good for the price... £9-10 each, and delivered by APC. Sweet Honey and a nice-looking Souvenir du Docteur Jamain. Hope mine behaves better than @Fire's.

@WhereAreMySecateurs which rose are you talking about?
Thanks
