Rosa 'Mary Rose'

Looks like the roses are going to be good this year, loads of buds, can't wait :-))

Very nice rose

Love it, love it, love it! I adore roses...:))))

Wow!

Thankyou all, she is a beauty :-)
Me too Michaella :-))

She certainly is a beauty;0)

Loverrly! I can't wait for all my new roses to flower ;)

I love it when the roses start to bloom :o)

Thankyou girls :-),
Have you bought lots Dawn ?
A few more are starting to open today, 'Golden Showers' looks and smells wonderful at the moment just hope its still on the wall tomorrow with this wind :-(

Yes Kathy, I have :-) Lots and lots, must list them and let you know what they are :-)

Ooo yes please Dawn,would love to see what you've bought :-))

I got lots, inspiration gained from peeps like yourself. I wanted shrub roses and ground cover ones to brighten the garden when the Spring flowering plants are ending:
Ballerina, Canary Bird, Magic Carpet, Rosy Cushion, Wiltshire, Broadlands, Gwent, Surrey, Worestershire, Pearl Abundance (free), Raphsody in Blue (3), Hot Chocolate and 5 Comte de Chambond to form a hedge adjacent to the pool, various climbers - which off hand I cant remeber the names but all good reliable ones :-) So exciting, buds on them all.

Aaaw thanks Dawn, I love your garden and your pond is truly amazing :-),
Beautiful choices,can't wait to see your pictures :-) , love Hot Chocolate and have been looking to see if I have a spot to squeeze one on :-)

Glad you approve Kathy :). I've put the Hot Choc in a big pot on the patio for now. Fed them all and sprayed them again today.

Beautiful. where would a garden be without roses?

Where indeed DD, I wouldn't be without mine :-)

Nor me......wish I could get more in....

I'm so excited about adding roses to my garden DD/Kathy. I was anti rose, not sure why but after seeing the colour they bring to gardens on GOY I'm a convert. I was ignorant about them to be honest, just had this vision of my Aunt having a bed of Floribunda. I didnt realise shrub roses existed, I can't wait for mine to flower and for them to give the garden that blast of colour once the spring flowering perennials and shrubs have finished.
