For your sake Nollie, please order it.. I don't think they forget things easily..
If you don't want PW, order another yellow and highlight why its much better than PW.. but do order some..
@WAMS I have Clementina Carbonieri from TW.. not sure what is the difference in them.. or even if they are two different varieties... It survived last winter without issues.. fragrance is variable between medium to strong- Tea or Tarry, however you describe it.. and they have difficulty in opening with rain despite not being petal packed.. being a Tea, it is almost always in bloom..
Which rose is the first, white one @Marlorena? Beautiful. I will be interested in Loyal Companion, even had it in my basket but thought 2 in PBs sale was enough or it defeated the money-saving element.
Another one saying you've got to get TPW, Nollie. I would be so thrilled if my husband remembered a tiny thing for me as part of his obsess..er hobby.
Good to know about Belle de Jour WAMS, been pondering that one.
Gentle Hermione and The Shepherdess are on my wishlist thanks to the recent photos. Cooldoc observed my TCL order is very purple/mauve and so it is. The comment surprised me so I went and looked at it again, seems ages ago I made that list. I do find it hard to scroll past those colours.
A perfect day weatherwise today. Here are some blooms that have opened after the weather extremes we've had Chippendale, this has very deep colouring in cooler temps.Pink Martini, yes the name lured me in too.Atypical Olivia Rose Austin, this is very potbound and will be sorted soon.Heidi KlumEasy Does It, my husband's favourite, so I keep it. At least it's easy and a good doer My favourite, Odyssey
Ah thanks @Marlorena I wondered that as I knew you'd bought it recently but I was confused how Harkness have The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and Royal Philharmonic that look like separate roses on HMF.
I know, it's confusing when they reuse names. I don't think Harkness still do the original rose, this is the 2021 release. HMF shouldn't really have put 'Orchestra' in the name, as it doesn't appear on the label.
Tack.. I know, it's unusual for a rose to be released without a breeder's code. HMF can only put up what is out there on Harkness site, so until they release the code, we can't know.
I think I am leaning towards fewer petalled/open flowers recently, whereas I liked petal packed blooms before. Just a stage in my rose learning curve 😄

Oxford. The City of Dreaming Spires.
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils (roses). Taking a bit of liberty with Wordsworth
@Tack I offer a correction in that Harkness are calling it 'The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra rose' after all, so HMF is correct. I thought when I ordered it, it was just 'RP'.. another strange thing is, the photos Harkness have for this rose, don't look like the rose they are sending out under this name, or else they are rather poor photos.
Their website is run by You Garden, so perhaps that's why..

..sorry I forgot the names.. it's 'Royal Philharmonic'.. tea scented, like an Austin, and a bit floppy at this stage..
