    'Birthday Boy' is a lovely deep colour Woo. :) Is it a deep pink in the 'flesh' or red?

      Hi Sheal I have just taken this as the sun has gone in,I used manual focus and F5.6 to get the truest colour possible,which I think is this,I will take another when it is in full Bloom:smile:

      I would say it is a very very dark pink but what do I know:scratch:;) The powers to be say it is lilac Purple:dunno::smile:

            So what do you think you're doing wrong @bexy13?

            Do they have a certain amount of sun, are they fed and watered, are they pruned properly?

                  'Rob Roy'........red roses are so difficult to photograph, this rose is a much deeper red than it shows here.

                                I used to have this rose - 3 moves ago. As I recall Loli, it has a wonderful perfume. Does my memory serve me correctly?
