Clematis 'Royal Velour'

Lovely rich colour :)

gorgeous colour

You know I find it hard to choose a favourite, but this one I do love!

Beautiful deep colour.

another thats gone straight into my fav's :~))

I think that's the one I've got climbing with Dorothy Perkins.

Oooh! Nice! Does DP tend to suffer from mildew - or am I thinking of another rose?

Dreadfully, Spritz - straggly growth too.

I thought it was her. Lovely rose, but bad habits! lol.

Good morning, Spritz - terribly bad mannered rose but pretty.

Not many people grow her any more - is she still available to buy, even?

I've had a quick look and have found 16 suppliers, most of whom refer to the mildew but some not mentioning it at all - a good yardstick to use when buying roses, methinks.

That is so perfect!! I MUST get one, but I need an arch to grow it up! Right, where did I leave that axe?
