    Wanted just one rose as a specimen plant, I have never tried David Austin roses before but just fancied something a bit different. I chose Lady of Shalott. :wub2:

      Hi Val
      OH came home with a David Austin Rose a couple of months ago - Alan Titchmarsh.
      She's an advertisers dream - saw an ad., had to have it.
      I'll see what it's like when it flowers (fat-budded already). At least it looks healthy and virile.

        Apparently Mrs T. says so - or so Mr. T. is reported to suggest.
        I did think about fertile. but was conscious of the Zigernator prowling around looking for profanities - but you found a deviation anyway:huh:
