    Wow Rosemummy - Perhaps I should just go with my love for roses if you have 14 different types! I have plans for Pergola for our garden at some point so another reason to buy more..

    We used to live in Kent before moving to France. We had acid clay, very fertile, grew stunning roses. Used to exhibit in the village show.

    We are going to England on holiday and will visit David Austin's rose garden in Shropshire.

    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    No sure which rose this is, I took the pic during a visit to St Geoff's Barnsdale garden.

    Such a beautiful pic DavidK... I don't think in all honesty I will be able to restrain myself when out "looking" for roses... Thanks to all for the location information.
