Rosa 'Handel'

Very nice, hope it carry's on flowering for you, nice colour :0)

I really enjoy this one, mostly because of the colour. :-))

I hope so too!

Very pretty.

Thanks, Carol. :-)

Its beautiful, and well named too! I can just imagine him with one of these in his lapel as he conducts a suite!!

Wow, breathtaking....

Thanks, Pip - glad you like it.

Karen - maybe I should put on some appropriate music and open the door to persuade it to open its other buds? What shall I try...hmmm....The 'Hallelujah Chorus'??

(NOT the 'Water Music'!)

Well, the halleluia might scare them right off their branches. I think the 'Pastoral' would be just the right vibe!!

Errrr.......Beethoven? That might scare the poor thing into dropping its petals! lol.

No no, the pastoral in the Messiah! Too right, keep the Beethoven well away from the plants...in fact...keep it well away from the CD player all together....unless its the Emperor! I can manage that!

Ooops! Sorry! Yes, of course. Hmmm...the sheep over the hedge might enjoy that, too....good thought, K.

Ta...dee.dah.dee.dah.....dah....da.dada.da.....da.....;))) I've started now...it will be going all day in my head! :))

And mine! Who started this? LOL.

That is so pretty Spritz....

That's a beautiful rose Spritz. :o)

Thanks. I loved it on sight - and had to have one somewhere in my garden. I planted it by the stream wall, in the hope that it might scramble along, or flop over it. It hasn't grown enough to do that yet, but it might next year.

It must be a climber then? Does it bloom continuously all summer or is it a once only bloom?

It's a continuous one, Gilli, and you're right, it's a climber. :-)

love the colour may have to get one more nxt year lol

Not another one for that long wish-list of yours, Cristina! ;-/

this is pretty Spritz.

Thanks, I do too! :-)))
