Rosa Felicite Perpetue

It looks lovely! You've tied it In beautifully...along horizontals to promote flowering, and it is flowering beautifully! So why aren't you pleased Angie?

i agree, its beautiful as it is!

In a few places it's not so neat and there are a couple of horizontals missing on the other side. Once I get it filled out more on the other side I suspect I'll be much happier with it.
Thanks for you lovely comments they are appreciated, it's just me focusing on the negative rather than giving myself a pat on the back for perseverance :)

:)) A trap I often fall into myself!

I think it's beautiful too...I'm sending you a pat on the back,Scottish :o)

My first reaction was the same as C'karens. I dk how long you have had it there but I would think it is as good as anything else you might plant. Patience is a virtue. You have the skill give the plant a year or two to develop, then you will be kept very busy cutting it back. It is beautiful.

I agree its lovely scottish keep with it and it wil reward you with a bounty of roses;0)

It looks a darn sight better than our Madame Alfred Carriere.....another for the Sissinghurst method....

The flowers are beautiful :)

Bjs has just shared photos of his new 'Felicity'. Your rose is a lovely welcome to the world for her.

Thank you all for your lovely comments.
