            Rob Roy.......is dark red and as always it's a battle to get that to show on a photo due to the pigmentation in red roses. It has that old fashioned heady and sweet perfume that I love. :)

                  I was hoping you were going to put the details of 'Rob Roy' up for me @wiseowl, thank you. :)

                  Thanks Loli, it certainly looks good in it's first flush of flowers but doesn't do so well later in season.

                      I like your unknown rose Loli, the blending in the colours of the petals is quite subtle. :)

                            I was chatting over the fence with my neighbour last week, she commented on my Rose at the front, she said it was planted in 1972, by the couple who built our house!

                            This year is the best it's ever been, I gave it plenty of pig manure earlier in the year!
                            Unfortunately I don't know the name of it.
