This thread is an absolute joy to look through! I also live quite close to david austin roses and can definately reccomend the food-yum!
Dunno if this is any help, but i grow generous gardener and brother cadfel against my north facing fence, they only get sun in the evening, seem fairly happy
I saw this thread last week and when I went to post I couldn't find it!! Glad it's popped back up again.
Here are a couple of my lovely roses taken just now.
Climbing Iceberg
Many Happy Returns
Both were new this year and I'm new to Rose growing (no surprise there then!!) apart from the red one below which until this year has just done it's own thing!!
It seems the snail likes to sleep here....not for long though, he's bird food now
This is my climbing red rose, That's Jazz, a rescue rose a couple of years ago and now quite tall
