thank you Rose, there are lots of yellow ones, some deeper yellow to golden but this one is so very pretty. Another pretty one is Pauls Best Yellow, a taller one for the back or middle of the border, very pretty though.

I wonder if they will fit in between all my roses in the front garden as I'm running out of room now ! Will I have to wait a few years for the flowers to form ?

they will look lovely in between the roses but only get the shorter varieties like Buttercup or Colombus that is if your roses are the bush type, the taller ones would be good in between standard roses. It depends how big the corms are as to when they flower, some are very tiny and will take a while to mature to flowering. Some are hardier than others too, visit as many websites as you can the Crocosmia Gardens website is good. Lots of pictures and information on there. Also it depends on the colours of your roses, do not know what your front garden looks like or the colours you have in your roses.
