Hello DavidK! I can't thank you enough for starting this thread and advising me what to do in the first place. I have some white roses and yellow one's that are also starting to bloom now. Problem is stopping myself from buying more.... I'm going to find some roses that like shade (if there is such a rose!) for planting at the end of the garden
Hi Flora Rose, thanks . I am rose mad so having to force myself not to go out and get more..that said I tend to go to nursery's - none of the garden centre chains although what they have is pretty good. I just find you got more of a plant for your money.
Hi David, I've just googled for some pics and they would be a lovely addition to a partially shaded spot at the back. Would be a fabulous place to sit with a glass of wine and a good book.
I have Gertrude Jekyll in a shady spot on an arbour - a bit prickly but what a scent!!
There is another one by beales called Dixieland Linda - same sort of poor conditions tolerance and same scent, Orangey coluration - look it up! On my wish list if I ever find room.
Hi Matty2, as you've said, another beauty. Scent is very important to me because as pretty as the one's I have look, they have no scent whatsoever... thank you for the recommendation. Another one added to my list!
Bev there's a rose nursery nest us, so helpful and really good prices, the have a pretty good good choice too, I've bought a few from David Austin who have always been really helpful, Gertrude is stunning, I wouldn't be without her, our gardens front and back are tiny, so far I've squeezed in 14 roses, there are 3 more i must have, me Alfred carriere for when I get the pergola I want built as it doesn't get loads of sun, Eden rose cos it's stunning, and boule de beige same and good for cutting

Now who's a clever girl??
Results like that make it all worth while. 

Well done, Bev!

Oh, Bev.....I fear I may corrupt you on your quest for new roses
please consider Gertrude Jekyll....she will do you proud in partial shade......sorry!
