      Glad to be of help Woo. :) The roses look stunning at the show and 'Purple Skyliner' looks perfect inter-woven with the white.

      It feels good to give something back to you after all the help you have given everyone else on GC regarding roses. I hope the rose does well for you and of course we expect to see pictures next year. :dbgrtmb:

      I think I was beyond hope a long while ago :heehee: and I can't wait for my roses to arrive next month, the time is going to tick oh so slowly.

      I must log out now............an evening out. :)

        Thats something I've learnt then, as I've got White Skyliner and hadn't realised there was a coloured version.:snork:

            ohhh, and Purple skyliner is scented too!! [looks out of window at garden, thoughtfully]

            Not this year - got too much basic digging and bed clearing to do, and Sheal has warned me about roses and sandy soil. I'll have to wait and see how our Winchester Cathedrals get on, and then decide next autumn .... Warning - I'll be like a child in a sweet shop!

              Good morning Sian sandy soil could be a minute problem but there are many ways to combat this,and have successful roses:)Yes Calcium/Magnesium and soil outside 5.5ph to 7.0ph. can create difficulties but nothing that cannot be triumphed over:)Winchester Cathedral a lovely white rose, This rose appeared as a sport (a shoot on a plant that differs from the rest of it) on Mary Rose:)

                      I'd love to grow a Kiftsgate climber, got to decide what it could climb through though. I know they are big, but can I just let it lose in a middle-aged Oak tree, for example?

                          Hi Woo

                          I think its a 2012 introduction from America , I think the 1st supplier will be Austin Roses UK , not in the catalogue yet but worth while getting touch with them
