"Oranges 'n' Lemons"

I've heard people rave about this rose in terms of disease resistance and floriferousness. Does anyone here have first hand experience with it? It's got similar breeding to another Sam McGredy striped rose I have called 'Papageno' that is quite a good clean performer and has been pretty much evergreen here this winter.

Didn't Thee have that one?

Where are you, Thee?

Well I am not a great fan Simon, mine is in a pot and soon as it get any distress drops all it's leaves ect... it has been repotted into a huge pot and we will see how it goes, but it seems to attract PW ect here, but have not given up oh it yet Growth habit is great though But then again mine is a standard ?? Just went on in the bloody wind , rain and cold and took this pic for yas brb have to down load it now

Thanks TheE... maybe you could do a running photo-record of it for us... I'd be interested to see what it looks like when it heats up a little

No Probs be me pleasures Simon

Certainly looks happy and healthy atm , Cheryl

Yes Abbi, I just love the colours of all the new growth, I have spotted the odd aphid but been lucky enough to have a few heavy showers of rain which got rid of most of them, I only spray if I really have too

You need an army of ladybugs.

I've got a non-standard in a big pot. Went OK for me last year, but I'll keep track of it for you too.

I just bought an O&L bare root this winter, can't wait to see how it does! Is it fragrant?
