    Rhapsody in Blue is very nice, but I always felt the marketing pictures were a little misleading as it is very much an open rose rather than a hybrid tea type, which it is always pictured as. [​IMG] :D

    Hi BM Yes I have It in the Garden(Modern Shrub)
    Must say I was a Little Disappointed In It,But on the Marketing Pictures They do tend use Poetic Licence a Bit,But that tends to be the same with all Gardening Plants including Tropical. But then we all have a Good side photographically

    I think it's a brilliant rambler, it loves it up high and is quite robust.

    Before it pops :D
