Lovely Natalija @cooldoc, do go and sniff it again and report back! I looked at Julio Inglesias when I got my first (and only, so far) stripey but plumped for Guy Savoy instead. I read that Julio doesn’t repeat well, so be interesting to hear how the old crooner performs..

@Marlorena Thanks a lot for the detailed information for growing Anouk. What a bright purple colour! They look beautiful in your garden. Yes they are decent plants, there were loads at that price and I have picked one in flower and another with buds.
Marvelous roses everyone and I just can't wait to see them in here.
Poor repeat was the reason to remove it from my basket @Nollie but definitely more fragrant than Scentimental.. I went again and smelled all the roses.. felt like a proud kid/dad when my son joined in and gave his opinion on the scent..
Natalija would be rated medium or medium- strong.. definitely has Myrrh notes in it.. not the pure Myrrh you get with Strawberry hill or Bring me sunshine.. Having said that, it has been compared to pretty strongly scented ones which are out now..
@Marlorena I am looking forward to Elizabeth more than BMS.. Elizabeth has gone wide taking over space from all the roses around it and is covered in buds.. blooms on the smaller side but last year Elizabeth had better repeat..
Brought you my insect lollipop. In the first season the birds got it all wrong and scavanged it. Now, wire protected, it is a safe and dry breeding place.
Your training him up well then @cooldoc 😊 I’m not sure I get Myrrh or tea scents very strongly, the old rose and fruity notes always seem more dominant to me, but thanks for that, I’m sufficiently attracted to Natalija to get it. You must do your ‘best for fragrance’ list for us at some point.

Your 'Harlow Carr' is once again going to be a joy to behold. In full bloom I don't think I could take my eyes off it..

..they are a bargain for what you paid... mine weren't much bigger and I paid a lot more..
@cooldoc
My Elizabeth has lots of buds too, I'm not keen on the foliage though..
@ElbFee
Oh that's so nice, I think it really makes a garden so cottagey.. lovely Irises too..
