    I planted 3 roses in a border next to the path. Two look similar but one has different leaves and is a lot more untidy in shape. Can you tell me which is the odd one out - I've got hte labels just not attached to the plants :biggrin:

    Hi, The first two are Hybrid Tea roses and Margaret Merril is a floribunda, so has a different growth habit.

      Will the floribunda take up a lot of room? All three are in a border about 2ft wide.

      By all standards Margaret Merril is a very beautiful rose bush. Under most conditions it grows to somewhere around 1.2m (4ft) high with an average spread of 60cm (2ft):smile:
