  • OL - Perhaps you may wish to look at the rose 'Tam O' Shanter' as your cerise choice. For me it's an excellent rose, although not all that much scent.

    I have a beautifull deep, deep pink rose (almost burgundy), its probably supposed to be a standard, judging by its height, but has been planted in a hedge, its dosent look like an old rose type, but seems more full than a hybrid tea, it reminds me of the posh flower arrangers roses, it has the most exquisite pure rose scent i have ever smelled.

    Does anyone have any idea what this may be? The lady lived here before must have planted it, no label left.

    Sorry cant do pics image

    Fantastic thread! I only joined the forums yesterday and am loving the advice, photos and friendliness. I only have one shrub rose at the moment - 'Alan Titchmarsh' which has hundreds of buds on it. I love the anticipation of buds opening and then the beautiful unfurling. I will definitely be looking at 'Gertrude Jeykll', Generous Gardener', 'Brother Cadfel', 'Lady of Shallot', and the beautiful 'Royal Jubilee' as I would love more roses. Ooooh and 'Tam O' Shanter - cerise is one of my favourite colours!! image

    David Austen's garden was stunning, best I've ever seen. Perfect time of year for it. We got there early, just as well as by lunchtime it was full of people and there was a queue outside the restaurant door. Bought Teasing Georgia climber, Crown Princess Margarita climber, Lady Emma Hamilton and Rosa Complicata. Will eventually send photos, but signal is bad here and we are just off to eat;

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

    I've just googled the roses you bought Busy-Lizzie and they are all so beautiful. I have been in my garden today looking at what needs to be moved around/dug out to accommodate the rose garden I am planning image
