    Arthur bell, queen Elizabeth, peace and a white one that I can't remember the name of. I already have three Arthur bells but I haven't got the others

    Looked up the Arthur bell and what a stunning yellow.  No wonder you have four! ?

    Lovely smell.  I have had one in a large container for many years, one in the ground and a climbing one as well.

    Arthur bell a lovely rose, i bought one for myself last year supposed to be the climbing variety but turned out to be the shrub one. I give it to my mum, every time I walk past it now I want it back image the scent nice as well.

    Just back from our local GC.  I had no plans to buy anything, just called in for a coffee.  Came away with SBK brushwood killer at half price, and 3 very pretty wrought iron 14" hanging baskets with 1/3rd off.  The old baskets were wicker and had virtually rotted away - result.

    Plants arrived today. Lovely thick stems, plenty of buds and well packed. 

    I wasn't expecting them quite so soon. They'll have to wait for plant until I've beaten the lurg
