    Just bought my first David Austin roses : Gertrude Jekyll, Teasing Georgia, Lady of Shalott and Princess Alexandra of Kent :wub2:

    I also bought a couple online this morning : Sceptre'd Isle and Jude the Obscure.

    Just need some nice pots to put four of them in (two of them will be climbing against the garage wall).

      Good choice. I've been considering Gertrude as my next rose. It has a lovely big bloom and a really nice smell doesn't it. Saw one in bloom at Bodnant gardens, very nice. I think I have seen Shallot too in bloom.
      My 3 roses are all from David Austin, Crocus, Jubilee celebration, and Shakespeare. I've been quite happy with them.
      Best of luck with them. :)
