Rosa 'Albertine' Last summer

Longing for summer already Anne :o) xx

Thats a lovely one.

healthy looking leaves, beautiful rose.

stunning rose,

Albertine is a beauty. Does it repeat flower Ann..don't know why I'm asking, I don't have room for any more roses!!

Karen this is one of the Roses I can tell you the date it comes into flower here, June 19th without fail, my birthday!. It's not the original from Wilby but I had to have it again, the scent is amazing. I think this is the one that climbes up Spritz's house too x

Wow, imagine that! Lovely! How long does it flower for though?

About a month Karen but huge smelly blooms, then I cut it back hard. I'm looking at other Roses to go with it this year......because of you hun and your lovely garden x

Ah, thanks! x I think it's beautiful, I love the floppiness of the flower and I can just imagine the lovely scent. I actually need one more rose for my arch, but this one is the wrong colour. It has to go with Crown Princess Margareta, a lovely deep peach coloured rose. I will probably go for a lilac coloured rose as I love lilac with peach, but I'm not entirely sure. I may go for a scarlet as it's at the hot coloured area. Lilac would look lovely with albertine actually would't it...or a deep burgundy colour....mm

Decided! Went on DA roses and chose 'Dortmund'. Couldn't only buy one plant could I? So I also bought warm welcome ...well, it was on sale....and it will look lovely beside photinia! Funnily enough, Albertine is also on sale.....but I didn't buy it!

i got this last year in the hope it wud grow up a sycomore tree to gv a bit of intrest at the front gate ......... its not dun much as yet , shud i give it a trim in the hope it will shoot up . prob had a couple of flowers last year , but they wernt big . they had plenty of gud muck on the soil last spring

Hard to establish anything near a sycamore tree Cristina...hope it gets it's roots down this year for you!

ooooooo really its got plenty of room , tree is very young , about 2 ft from trunk , i really hope so !!!
thanks karen

Oh, I see Cristina, sorry. I assumed tree was bigger. Oh well, no reason for it then, just hopefully a slow beginner!

lets hope so karen ................. x
