Thanks Kate.
Oh Karen, it’s breathtaking! A FB friend has bought the new DA one named Eustacia Vye, she says it’s stunning.

Will look that one up. Interesting name!

Nice...but Queen of Sweden is better! :)

I have Munstead Wood on my never ending wish list, do you like that Karen.
Where do you buy your non-DA roses online Karen?

This rose looks like a water lily, it's a beauty, really love it....we have Munster Wood, a fabulous colour.

Dawn, I favour Style Roses of Lincolnshire. They specialise in very scented roses, and I have never been disappointed with anything I have bought from them. I love Munstead Wood, but I have it as a standard and I find it is a bit weak and disease prone.

Someone commented that Queen of Sweden gets very tall and I've looked in the DA brochure (also on their front cover) and it does look to have an upright growing habit so I hope it's still nice as it matures. The flowers are stunning!
Great, thanks Karen, I'll have a look on their site.
That's a shame about Munstead Wood Karen, I need disease resistant and fragrance :-) the other day the garden was very still and smelt divine, I agree about scent, a must.

Dawn, Qof S is indeed a taller growing rose, but with a nice compact habit in my experince.

Oh yes, this one is truly beautiful. I don't have it here...no idea why not. I suppose I was looking for different ones rather than ones I had before. But this one is so worth having!
