Bev, remember, bare rooted roses cost much less than those in pots.....this is because they are grown in an open field and thus it involves less labour costs. The downside is that they can only be bought when they are dormant, whilst pot-grown can be bought & planted all year round.
For me, I think bare-rooted bushes make for a better eventual plant.
My Iceberg was bare root and the Many Happy Returns was in a pot (as it was a present). I'd like a really vivid cerise coloured rose which is highly scented.....going to research now

Peter Beale is my favourite supplier.
We are going to visit David Austin's rose garden tomorrow as we are in Shropshire on holiday. Will send photos. I want to buy a couple of climbers.
That's a difficult one, Rebecca.....for me, probably Coughton Court in Warwicshire or Rosemoor in Devon. Then again, there are lots more.
Been thinking about you, Lizzie, enjoy your day......the weather here is looking promising for you.
Remember the restaurant.
Lizzie have a fab time will go one day, Bev enjoy your roses, can't seem to click on those links which ones have you got?
I am in Shropshire on Monday.....hmmmmm
I love Roval William, it is beautiful, as are the other roses

Tried earlier to send photos of Rosemoor but signal is feeble in this B & B and it didn't work, so hope it works now.
