Rosa floribunda 'Pensioners' Voice'

Seven roses.... how big was that Juniper?

HUGE!! The space is about 10' x 7'. I've put in 3 Rudbeckias, 3 Heleniums, 2 Geraniums, one of the roses, and placed all the rest - 10 Lavender 'Hidcote' and 6 Achillea 'Terracotta' plus the other roses. There will still be spaces left!

wow that is some space to fill...hope you will take pics,when its all planted up..:o)

Oh yes - I'll write a blog - I'm taking photos in readiness. ;-)

Good,I will look forward to that:o)

Maybe at the weekend?

What a strange name for a rose! Lovely rose though!

Lovely.

Who knows how they get their names? I don't mind as long as the colour's right. ;-)

Thanks, Carol.

Pensioner´s Voice - sounds interesting but I did not find this rose in my book. Were does it come from?
With this name it is a proper rose for meetings of Labour Party. Lol.

No idea, Katarina - but maybe they'll use it as their emblem! lol. I bought the rose from a rose grower called 'Fryers'.

Lol.

I should have looked before I asked the question on your first photo, B. That is a huge space to fill. Have you decided to have a rose covered cottage yet?

We already have roses round the door and over the front of the cottage, Lori! Clematis montana in the spring, then Rosa 'Albertine' and an anonymous red rose. :-))

LOL...you have an anonymous rose?!! You have New Dawn as well, I believe? How is it doing for you? I lost mine in the move... (there were plants that I expected to lose...but not that one!) Couldn't get out to dig beds in the early spring...we had snow and sleet right up to May and I was late getting it in the ground. my fault I fear. I remember the pic of the Clematis montana ...unforgettable.

I have several anonymous roses. The red one on the house has very large blooms - and oddly, the birds like pecking the stems, so I frequently find a beautiful perfect rose or a bud lying on the path!

Yes, 'New Dawn' is on the trellis by the gate. It does suffer from black spot, but I forgive it.

I also have a huge cream repeat flowering climber, and a shrub with pale pink clusters of flowers that has two flushes of blooms, plus two enormous standard rose 'trees' that are also anonymous.

I found out this year that my perfect-shaped pink climber is 'Pink Perpetue', and the very deep red fragrant climber is 'Guinee'. :-))
