Ebb Tide new last year

That rose is something very special. Love the rich colour. I am going to look at the website of the Fragrant Rose Company.

Your hydrangeas are gorgeous and look so pretty in a vase. I might put one or two in a vase too.

You see, you are just full of good ideas!!! :-))

Hi Chris, do you mean I could become an "influencer" ??? I hear they make a fortune lol Maybe a rose company or any old plant company will pay me to advertise their goods \0/ yay:-)

Brilliant Bornagain! “Influencers” are featured every week in our newspaper, and I’ve never heard of any of them . . . so yes, you could be one . . . you have certainly influenced me. Your Ebb Tide rose is absolutely gorgeous!

Thanks Sheila, good to know you have faith in me lol:-)

Ba, I'd give you a reference any day!!! It wouldn't carry much weight but I'd do it for you!!

I love limelight hydrangea. It's not as floppy as other white ones. You need a bigger vase for more limelight hydrangeas.

Flippin' eck Bg, to fit my whoppers in I'd need a new piece of furniture to put the vase on:-)

beautiful colour and form for that rose. I love the depth of it.

I agree with Stera, it is a beautiful colour and I shall be looking at that as a gift for my daughter - she's a purple fanatic!

Thanks Seaburn and honeysuckle, it is rather special and has performed so well considering I only planted it last autumn:-)

Wow that is a fabulous colour Ba, now I'm not letting you influence me as I'm bursting at the seams already, in view of that I will content myself by admiring yours from afar, lol...

Are you sure Lincs? Have you nothing you want to pay me to advertise? :-)

Just had another look at this rose - it is GORGEOUS!

It is something isn't it Chris, I have another dark rose called Minerva also with lovely perfume, but it's not quite so dark:-)

You have set it off beautifully with the soft grey leaves behind ... please could you tell us what they are?

Which pic Sheila?:-)

Looking at the third pic Ba.

Been out to see what they can be, conclusion: bluish green fuchsia leaves in big tub, must be a trick of the light I'm afraid Sheila:-(

Thank you for taking the trouble to look Ba 🙂.
