Nice discovery that @Fire. Do you have a plan for both?
Is that from one of your gardens @Marlorena? That is very beautiful. I hope Alexandre Girault doesn't smother my Mulberry tree but fill in some gaps on a few high bareish branches. There is no space below the low canopy to have roses blooming underneath, the branches grow out and down.
Your Champagne Moment is stunning @Alfie, over this season I have wanted it and had it in my basket several times because of yours. I will eventually get it I'm sure,if Nollie's works out then definitely. That Boules de Niege is cute as a button and I really like Eustace's Perdita but I'm trying not to add pale roses, from the house the stronger coloured ones in pots make an impact. I like the pale colours in the border against the dark leaved shrubs though.
Frilly Cuff is furthest from the house and an ideal colourWollertonOH in a shady spot is great, though the old foliage isn'tSoul, with the high winds today it is clipped to the washing line, with AbFab

One New Dawn will go to a neighbour. The New New Dawn I have potted up and will keep an eye on. It has a good root system already so it would take fast. Has anyone else had roses layering of their devices?

I had it with a Dr Van Fleet - which I think (though my thunks are normally wrong!) is somehow related to New Dawn. If it isn't I am sure someone will correct me.
I was actually really pleased to find it - as digging up the Dr VF was not an easy job and the roots had gone under a wall and a rockery, so by the time I got it out, it was not saveable.
I rather stupidly didn't label a cutting I just stuck in the ground near my 'Blue for You' but I presumed it was a cutting from the that rose. However it bloomed recently and was completely white not a blueish tinge. Does anybody know what the parentage of Blue for You is?
Incidentally, the Blue for You rose has gone bananas this year and has reached at least 6 ft, if not 7 ft high which I'm very pleased about as it's waving to me over the terrace wall and I can now see it from the house. It matches the wisteria beautifully which still has the odd bloom on it - in September!
Not a post about roses… I got so inspired by @Tack ‘s fairy ring that I decided to create something similar in my garden. Next spring there will be some expectations vs reality photos 😅
Oh, I really like the erratic/variable colouring of my Blue for You, and also when it occurs on other roses, @purplerallim. I also have the Albrighton Rambler, Bordure Camaieu and other plants which have or can have a multicoloured look. I esp like the Albrighton Rambler for this... buff, peach/ pink and white.
Looking forward to Mutabilis next season for the same reason, and am eyeing up Masquerade.🤓
Oh my goodness, loving that the Fairy Ring has some fans. I find the early small bulbs are best so the lawn doesn't have foliage going over for too long and can recover quickly. Large Tulip leaves for example are wide, brown and ugly sticking out of the grass when you would like to have the lawn looking nice for summer. So snowdrops, crocus and early dwarf narcissus work well to naturalise in the lawn.
Edit Chionodoxa are also good. I get bare patches where I have hyacinths and tulips and reseed the grass there
Another edit, after a few years I realised leaving a mower-width gap made it much easier to mow inside!

@Tack
No, not my garden.. that was at Mannington, Norfolk. I can't remember what type of tree that is..
Soul is reaching for the sky..

Thanks for the reminder about @Tack's fairy ring, @Oliya! I might also have a go. Which bulbs are you using?
Glad to hear it's doing so well for you @Lizzie27
