Thanks Maree. I don't usually consider a rose with no perfume but I really like the form of Gemini. Maybe if it's surrounded by heavy perfume machines maybe I won't mind?

Judging by Ozroz's results, Gemini is a pretty nifty little breeder. Wink

Well autumn, knowing absolutely nothing about breeding roses, I take it that he would use it for some desirable characteristics?

I have Royal Dane here [also known as Troika] from memory . A stunning rose in the golden coppery bronze shades with some hints of salmony pink in it's depths.

I have Gemini, beautiful formed flower but for some reason I can't seem to get it to grow, in spite of it been touted as so easy to grow it's a beginners rose. I'll give it awhile longer yet but I don't hold much hope for it...

Hi Silky , i've been there three to four times i think , so have got to know the layout , this time was definately the most interesting as i knew a lot of the roses there , i wanted to check out the roses i had on my list , they were all there , most surprising was the fragrance of Francis Dubriel , amazing , that was on my list and its a beautiful rose . The roses i'd like to plant next year are the ones we have been talking about , Fragrant Cloud , Valencia , Red Cross , Olde Fragrance , Francis Dubreil , Jubilee Celebration ,Nahema. I was really happy that i saw them and have got spots for them all .........
