ID, please

We have 5 roses, all from Woolworths in the late 1980s. I expect they were all unnamed. Nothing wrong with Woolies roses! They have beautiful scents too.

 

I must admit,I was a little offended on behalf of my rose. @cactus_girl

 

Maybe we should have a "show us your Woolworths roses" thread, rose spots included.

 

Would that pound shop roses were as good!

 

It's no help with the rose ID, but this is interesting and brings back memories of Woolies (for me 1970s, 80s and 90s)
'Horti' - a history of the Woolworth Garden Dept

 

The thing is, unlike supermarkets nowadays, they actually looked after the plants. They didn't have the shelf to compost heap culture.

 

A lovely trip down memory lane thanks @JennyJB . None of the shops round us sold the larger items, but I remember the seeds, seed potatoes, and the plants.

 

What a fascinating read @JennyJB , thanks so much for posting that.

I know my Nan and Mum both visited Woolies for plants etc, and I did too back in the 70s and 80s. A real trip down memory lane .

 

We moved here in 97 so my rose isn't as old as some. I loved the picnmix aspect.
