    I had another five arrive today and will get them planted tomorrow. :biggrin:

    Brushstrokes
    Lincolnshire Yellow Belly
    Super Trouper
    Purple Tiger
    Blue For You

    That leaves one to arrive now which is 'Rob Roy'. :)

      Thanks Armandii, the weather is supposed to be good here tomorrow, I hope so, it's going to take me ages to work out what colour I want where! :heehee:

        My roses are in, just waiting for 'Rob Roy' to put in an appearance now. The garden is so boggy I decided to plan the colour layout indoors so that I wouldn't trample the lawn to much walking backwards and forwards. A very antiquated way of doing things but I printed off the roses from the internet so that I could shuffle them around indoors in comfort. You can see below the final placings.

        From left.......Lucky, Ebb Tide (top), Lincolnshire Yellow Belly (bottom), Souper Trouper, Purple Tiger (bottom), Iceberg (top), Brushstrokes (bottom), Rob Roy (top) and Blue For You on the right.

        Now I'm thinking about the underplanting and will be growing from seed in the spring for that. :)

            Lovely roses Loli. :) It's annoying when they don't turn up when expected. I'm still waiting for 'Rob Roy'. Man or rose will do! :heehee: I think I might chase the rose on Monday.

                      Loli, snap! My last rose 'Rob Roy' turned up at lunchtime from Aberdeen, appropriate being Scottish by name. :)

                          I think it would take the GC helicopter to produce the man himself Loli. :heehee:
