    Good for you, Joolz, roses are very useful to say the least. I tend to mix climbing roses with Clematis, Honeysuckle, Sweetpeas and Nasturtiums to extend the flowering period.

    I think Dave Austin is doing a good job in promoting roses but I do think the prices asked [around £25 plus £5.50p postage] are a bit steep. You can buy the same named roses from other suppliers for less than half the price.:D

    Thanks for the link, Woo:thumbsup::D

    I guess you'll have to wait until the Chelsea Flower Show then, Joolz:heehee::D I'll keep an eye out for any press releases with reference to those roses, and if I see anything I'll pm you:thumbsup::D

        Good morning Joolz Just a beautiful Rose,very easy on the eyes,thanks for sharing:)

        Could be "Harry Wheatcroft" round about the 1970,s because of its age ,it could have lost a little of its red colouring:)

          Hi Joolz68 in my honest opinion I would say the greenhouse but not in direct sunlight,just in case of frost damage,we want to give them every chance,now some of our friends put them in a nursery bed outside,but I prefer them in side somewhere its just my preference that,s all:)
