They are lovely Dan.
I have to ask, how many pots have you got now ?

Is Ambridge a good rose Dan , how is it for form and fragrance ? Picking your brains now , whats a nice rounded , not arching , fragrant DA Jordan ? thanks

Just beautiful Jordan, thank you. Not much to pick between FF and Falstaff, love them both, something about those colours and crinkled up petals that gets to me every time. Ambridge Rose looks lovely too.
Thanks Maree for asking Dan, would like to know myself.

hi maree,

ambridge rose is a medium size flower at first its cupped ,at a later stage is like a rosette form , very pretty when in full bloom, its not a huge rose.. very disease ressistant well at least for me .. never even sprayed it once , the perfume i would describe is medium fruity scent..
if u dont like the arching habit of some of the austin roses maree, one that i would recommend is ( brother cadfael)
strong fragrance . not a huge rose and very healthy

Oh thanks Jordan , you are amazing , a walking rose HMF you are lol !!!

lol i wouldnt call me amazing but thank you , glad i can be of some help

you got a photo of BC , Jordan ? thanks

i will send you one soon maree

Dan do you have Benjamin Britten? I'm quite taken with its colour and the scent is said to be of raspberries! Yum! How do you find it? Health, vigour, form, fragrance?

Dan , Dan , Dan lol , how about L.D . Braithwaite , hows that one thanks ? Silky i think i better take another trip to the Werribee Rose gardens this weekend lol , and leave poor Dan alone ......... lol ........

lol maree.
Yes LD Braithwaite is another that I really like and want. But I didn't see it at Werribee Rose Garden yesterday.

Oh okay Silkie , hope Dan has it then lol !!! If weather is good might take a trip to Werribee this Sunday .....

That's not to say that it wasn't there, I just didn't see it. There were quite a few I wanted to see but didn't. It would be easier with a map. In the end I even had trouble finding my way out!

no its okay maree,

l.d. is a beautifull rose . very dark in colour a little smaller then the prince and falstaff.. perfume wise its not very strong i would not recommend it purely on scent maree

Thanks Dan !!!!
