    Yviestevie - I was also going to suggest St Swithun with Mortimer Sackler .... But Dove beat me to it - so a double recommendation there !  Although i love Shropshire Lad I find that it only really goes with white ... its too peachy to work with other pinks.   Our old friend Gertrude also works as a climber image

    Thanks Dove and Chicky. Salino I'll take a look at Tess.  I've been out taking photos of some of my roses this morning, sad this early, I know, but Im celebrating no back pain frollowing treatment yesterday so there will be no holding me back for a few days at least.  I'll have a go at uploading them but apologies in advance if things dont go to plan.

     OK well that seems to be a bit of a disaster.  Ill submit this and see if I can work out what I'm doing wrong

    ..although it's a small photo in the post there..it does enlarge beautifully Yviestevie...and we can zoom in - all important !...so you could carry on that way... what's that one...Crown Princess Margarita..?... not grown it..so just a guess..

    ..oops cross post...I see it's Molineaux...that's supposed to be a really good one...

    ..what's that got to do with West Brom..? I don't understand that bit... your garden looks really nice..

    Hi Salino, Molineaux is the home of Wolverhampton Wonderers! Lots of rivalry between the two teams.
