My first rose!

Aaaahh! Innit sweet?



'Simply the Best'

Looks like raspberry ripple ice cream!!

 

Thanks Woo, but all I did really was put it in the ground!! Oh and talk to it! :D

 

lovely colour rose...

 

Does it have a name? Looks different to other red/yellow varieties I've seen.

 

It's called 'Simply the best'!
See under photo :D
The red bits are sometimes brought out by strong sun, looks lovely.

 

Thanks Liz, this old brain box must be wearing out quicker than I thought.
I get red spots on Iceberg sometimes after rain, suppose that could be the sun too, raindrops acting as magnifying glasses.

 

Thanks for the kind words!

I have two other roses on the way. 'Fragrant Cloud' will be a red one according to the ticket but the other one only has a name tag - 'Orient Express.' Anyone any idea what colour to expect?

 

Couldn't find 'Orient Express' anywhere, but I did find 'Pullman Orient Express':

If it is this one you have rather a nice colour mix there!

 

They both look nice! Glad I put the red in the middle- the bud began to open today! The yellow/pink either side will balance nicely!

 

Came home at 6.45 from a busy night shift to find Fragrant Cloud waiting for me! Puts the world in perspective for another day!

 

Thanks for the info Woo! John wants it back having seen and smelt it but he has an entire rose garden as you've seen!
