      What beautiful colours Michael. I have never seen such. Did you do them from seed?
      All your flowers are lovely, stunning Rose.

          Good afternoon @wiseowl :smile:

          I bought it @Victoria, I can sometimes overwinter them as cuttings. Thanks for the compliment :smile:
          Good luck with your Kiss of Death ... (sounds terrible lol)

                    I should've thanked @strongylodon for mine. Five or six years on and still going strong.

                      Just been sitting outside with my early morning cuppa, so thought I would capture some early pics...everything looks so much softer and fresher in the early hours after dawn.
