That's an old one. When I was married as a youngster and had our new home, I was having difficulty in growing roses and the local Horticultural collage came out to take soil tests and advised me to try a bed of Frencham which I did. They were spectacular. That was 50 years ago!!

Thanks for all your comments :)

Telme8 someone gave me this rose as a cutting, and said it was very old, and you couldn't get it now. I don't know if that's true though.
