Rosa 'Mary Rose'

I love this one!

That is stunning!

She is a beauty isn't she :-))), soooo many flowers.

Does she have a beautiful scent Simbad...looks like she does..lol

Oh yes a fabulous scent, another of Mr Austins :-))

A stunner, typical DA rose....

oh i love this kathy, if i were to have roses itd be these! in fact its going on my wishlist! thank you :)

Thanks DD :-)
If you look on David Austins website Leigh you'd want them all :-), this would look great in your pink border :-)

oh yes definately! i dont even know how to grow roses are they seeds or bulbs? i like growing thibgs from scratch it feels more meaningful, would it take a long time to grow from scratch kathy?
i will look at d.aust. now :-)

amazing kathy- love it thank you

bit expensive for me but if i cant grow it from a seed then ill have to save up lol :-)

I bought mine bare root Leigh, they're sent out winter time and establish really well that way, you can grow them from hardwood cuttings taken autumn/winter time but it'll be the following spring before roots develope, I'll put myself a reminder and send you some autumn time if you'd like?,I usually cut mine back a bit then to prevent wind rock so the bits I cut off only go in the bin, its really easy, you just put them in a pot of compost, outsides fine or even in a shallow trench somewhere in the garden, you'll know if they've rooted when they start to grow leaves the following spring but its best to leave till the following autumn to move where you want them :-))

thanks kathy :-)

I've put myself a reminder :-))

yay! t.y x

ive been trying to tell you for a few days now kathy but get sidetracked by more photos lol, i got the d.aust. catalogue the other day after you told me about the website.
OMG! you were right lol, i must say i only really like the pink and red roses, here are a few i love the gentle hermoine and queen of sweden i cant really tell much difference-with darker pink getting paler outwards, pink queen ann id like to get for my mum in-law(called ann lol) at some point and the white william and catherine for my late dad in-law and sis in-law also same names!
i think the thing i didnt like about roses were the stems and thorns but you can get thornless ones cant you so thats good lol.
love the climbing ones i think i will buy eventually to grow on the front of the house maybe red etoile de hollande clg. i like the leaves on that one.
well thankyou v.much for letting me see what i was missing out on i will now say im a fan of pink and red roses!! :o))

Glad you"re converted Leigh:-) , think Hywel has Gentle Hermione remember seeing his picture it's gorgeous, nice to have plants to remind you of friends and relatives:-)
Well off to do some housework or maybe build an arks a more urgent job, lol.

Lol i know i was just thinking i hope people dont get flooded again! its thundering here! :o)
