WARREN, 'Vanguard' isn't in flower at your place that big at present is it, if it is

I do like the other one, might look good with more yellow in it

Oh, Rose Anne, you’ve got a beautify Charles Darwin, and your picture helped me to say for sure my mystery rose is not one: the leaves are completely different.
How do you find the fragrance? Now that I don’t have one after all, I should probably make an effort to correct that.

Dave it was pruned down to 3ft after flowering last year, it has good vigour hey. More yellow!!!!!!! that is pure Pernetiana colours, you cross that with yellows and get wonderful things.

You know, I actually had to go outside and cut a rose to get to the fragrance *lol* It's beautiful, sweet and soft, just like the rose.... probably wouldn't fit Mr Darwin tho

We had shocking winds here the other day so the bloom quality is down a bit.

Here is Gates of Eden

Your lucky Warren, I will post my only flowers at present later, my 'Banksia' has just started to flower. Even 'Constance Spy' hasn't put out a bloom yet.

I did say it was JUST starting

Rose-Anna , i see you have Violina and Henri Matisse , two of my favourites , mine are still in bud , how does your Jardins go for BS and fragrance , is it better than Pope John Paul , if you have one , do you think ....

I think the JdB is similar when it comes to BS, Pope John Paul got better fragrance but JdB got way stronger stems and I can easily go out and pick a nice bouquet of JdB's that will decorate our home for a week or so.... Pope Paul has a lot weaker stems... but then again, I dont see JdBas a really white rose but more of a light rosey colour since its not really pure white.

Love them both tho

It will flower Dave you live in Siberia you know LOL

Here are two I photographed today.

Thanks Rose-Anna , that answers my question , great thanks

A few more, taken yesterday

St Patrick wins the race hands down

we did put the sunbeam in for you as well dave..

Smart bottom, that is all I will say

Rose Anna I'm really drawn to your Henri Matisse although I'm not usually a great fan of stripey roses. How would you describe its fragrance?

Thanks for the fragrance update on Charles Darwin (and JdB), Rose-Anna. So CD’s beautiful soft colour is matched by an equal fragrance, great package. Ah, we don’t know if that fragrance didn’t fit Mr. Darwin; I hear he was a gentleman.
Sun Beam for me!

Im not sure about the fragrance of Henri Matisse... guess I will have to have a walk in the garden when I get home from work tomorrow arvo

Always a nice way to finish the day, or start a new one, by a stroll amongst the roses!

This is one of my favourite roses in the plot at home, those of WA, it was named after the area where the Overlander roadhouse is on the way to Monkey Mia.
