Great pics Jordan.I'm after a nice purple next season I have had my mind on Big Purple how do find it mate flower,perfume and disease wise ???.Old Port looks nice to.

hi danny, big purple is very healthy with a strong fruity perfume . slow grower at first but once its established , its a fantastic rose .. old port is a nice one also . perfume wise its not very strong scent . soft but nice and healthy too

THanks mate will look in to it.Havent seen Big Purple much around at nurserys either.ORPHELINE DE JULIET flower is so nice petal count is awsome.

ORPHELINE DE JULIET does stand out Danny, there are couple of others, but would it not look great in yellow

Orpheline looks awesome. Can't find much info on it. What can you tell us Jordan?

hi silky ,
well as you would know orpheline de juliet is a gallica, an old rose .. it is a rose that is very suitable for pots .. grows moderatly high around 4 feet .. the perfume is a of a damask , the colour does go deeper when the weather is mild . i find it healthy so far .. this is its 4th flower this year .. so thumps up from me

Mmmmm, might find a nice big pot for this one. Jordan you are going to have to stop all this rose temptation. My list is getting far too long! What to do? I'm not looking any more
Well maybe just a little peek.....

okay no more roses for you silky LOL

makes a note .. dan stop posting rose piccies

don't you dare

it was bought as a bare root this year rosy

Lovely It's my favourite rose despite having no scent. Please let me know how you go with it I would love to know.

yeah i like it too rosy.. cant wait for it to spot a complete red or yellow LOL

Both of mine didn't do too well. One died and one is in a pot. So I am very interested to see how yours goes. I might buy another bare rooted one. Although a lady at a nursery up here said that they need heat control? I am assuming she means it may be too hot up here?

i dont think thats the case rosy .. mine gets lots of sun.. guess you have a different climate .. i would try it in a pot rosy and perhaps give it a bit of shade and see how it goes .. we have a standard one at work that has 3 flowers on it , one is pure red the other yellow .. they do revert to other colours ..i dont like that .. but after all when it shows whats its meant to , it is a pretty little rose

It's currently in a pot and not doing any better than the ground unfortunately. It is possible it was just a dud in the first place.

it could be rosy. have you giving it a good feed ?

Yes many times

can i suggest to maybe re pot it again rosy. buy good quality potting mix and re pot it and see how it goes ?

It has only just been potted a couple of months ago and didn't like that too much. I would be scared to move it again with the heat we have here

okay just a thought rosy , see how it goes rosy . maybe change its position more sun or less sun .
