Ignore that question. As the shipping would be £10 there would be no point not paying the extra for grade A. The plant would be less than the shipping. I may have to think of more plants to order ....
That's the spirit haha. The Forever Royal that Marlorena made us all fall in love with is available there by the way
I counted around 53 without duplicates here.. excluding the 6 bareroots I got last month..
I agree social media is not a good platform if it makes you feel pressurized.. but I feel it is good to feel inspired by the images, to get information on the rose you want and hope the bare root you ordered has got potential to reach heights as seen in social media..
At this point I am feeling, I am trying to justify my rose addiction?
edit; @clematisdorset I have not found a strongly scented miniature yet.. Trust me, I have searched.. If you come across one, do let me know.. I would go for climbers if vertical space is not an issue..
Cooldoc has just prompted my brain into action @clematisdorset. I had been looking at a Ralph Moore mini called ‘Sweet Chariot’, sold as ‘Insolite’ in Europe. It’s supposed to have a strong damask scent. Don’t know if it’s available in the UK??
Miniature can often refer to bloom size rather than plant size, so do check the latter before committing your cash. There are a few compact, fragrant Austins and floribundas that might fit the bill. Needless to say my most compact and highly fragrant Austin - Lady Em - is discontinued 🙄
Mountainous Northern Catalunya, Spain. Hot summers, cold winters.
For a sweetly fragrant rose that looks like a miniature, but isn't, consider 'Perle d'Or'.. Another would be 'Cecile Brunner' but it was never as fragrant to my nose.
On another note, I see Sarah Raven has now teamed up with [bought out? or vice versa?] Taylor's Clematis.
I had the email about Taylor's Clematis @Marlorena. Not sure if it's a good or bad thing.
In other news, I've been panicking a bit about how to fill my tubs with compost. But I've been to my local independent garden centre this morning and they will deliver for £8. And their compost is the cheapest I've found. So that's sorted. Still not sure how I'm going to mix it - any tips?

@WAMS, yes, they are both in my basket, but I have shut the website down.
