Hi Lizzie - please can you help me with the name of the rose in your photo 2 above the peacock ? I have enlarged the photo, which is stunning, but the name plaque is obscured by a rose! Could it be After Dark?
It is beautiful - don't be sorry! Have you any experience of growing Fantin Latour? I saw it as a climber at Arley Hall Gardens in Cheshire but have also seen it advertised as a shrub. Any thoughts would be welcome. I also read that it may suffer from black spot which is worrying
Thanks for the ID of "Peace", BekkyH. I believe hat there is a "Pink Peace" in the collection too, but it wasn't in bloom when I was up there gardening last week. Hopefully I'll take some more photos (when the second bloom gets going) and try to 'map' out the various bed contents before they fade...Glad also that the old names stirred some fond memories for you, DavidK.
I'm so tempted to buy a Scepter'd Isle RoseM. How much space do you think I'd need and will it be good at the back of a border? Here are the first flowers on my 'Alan Titchmarsh' and loads of buds too.
David, we had all those when I lived in England. Now I'm worried about getting the climbers through customs when we get the ferry home. They are quite big and in flower. But DA do export to France.
Stunning. How do they get so many blooms on them? Are they just very established with lots of stems or several roses planted close together??
