OOOH!  I lurve Grace, Lady of Shallot and Windermere!  I shall have to stop looking at this forum.... no no, I'm addicted!!  Again, Dan, just lovely!
Oh, is Lady of shallot easy to grow?

hi sue,

yeah she seems healthy so far, and the perfume is nice and soft and the colour is vibrant so far so good

I planted Soul Mate in my mums garden last year , and it is looking lovely this year , just not enough fragrance !!!

still a beautiful rose maree:)

Yes i agree Dan !!

Maree, can you keep me updated on your mum's SM as to perfume? I can actually visualise SM in my front row spot in my yellow bed, so that will be next season's project I think. Elina is at the back of those yellows and I have yellow lilies in there too so a creamy yellow would like nice, especially when the jacaranda overhead is in bloom.
Dan, Lady of Shalott is absolutely stunning. Also like Windermere a lot. What are their growth habits - octopus arms or nice mounded well behaved girlies?
You'll have to stop tempting me like this!! Lol

lol silky

they nice mounded well behaved girlies
okay stop looking at the pics silky , you have an addiction  
 

Yes I think you're right Dan.  
No cure I believe.

silky why don't u try to have roses in pots I'm sure u can have at least 6 in pots around ya place

Dan I've got a couple in pots now, Daybreaker and Eyes for You but roses in pots are less forgiving of periodic neglect than roses in the ground. I'm not always conscientious! Lol. Besides I have skinny paths here that don't lend themselves well to nice big pots. One day when I have a deck or paved area I'd like more pots. Roses would need to be compact rounded perfumed...you know. Lol

lol okay silky

Silky , i planted Elina in my sons garden last year too , its looking good as well , buds , no flowers yet , but i don't expect a perfume , will take a pic of soul mate for you ....

Thanks Maree, that would be good. My Elina is just showing colour in its many buds too. No perfume unfortunately but what a strong healthy rose it is, lots of blooms. I really like it.

I'm waiting anxiously for my sons to bloom , i've got lots of buds here , just about ready to open !!

I could just imagine sitting in a group at a Rose-alcoholics meeting.
"it's been 6 months since I bought a rose, I'm still having withdrawals..."

Yep I'd be there too, looking suitably chastened. Should be patches available for rosaholics. Lol

There is Silky, they are called "Credit Cards" 

LOL!

LOL!  Well, Maree, how many gardens do you do?  You plant in your son's and your mum's, Dan, I think also plants in his mum's.  I think, those of us with limited space and are roseaholics, just seem to take over other people's gardens or perhaps spaces in them! I know I do too!! My daughter in law is wonderful!

lol sue if I keep buying roses they will have to go to mums place she will be happy to store them but she does complain ( dan way too many plants what about the water bill .. I just laugh  

Ditto LOLOL:rolfmao:

Sue , yep i use my mums garden as a test garden lol , cause i've got no room in mine and she doesn't mind , she loves roses too , i get my passion for gardening of her . My son just announced last year he wanted to plant some roses , and he just wanted a Iceberg , after trying to talk him out of it , we settled on a Elina and a Iceberg from Bunnings , funniest thing , a Iceberg i've never owned one ... Dan arn't we lucky we've got mums gardens to put our roses in ....

maree, mum has 6 roses at the moment , Oklahoma, graham Thomas, Abraham Darby, baronne de Rothschild. and two of my own roses one is grace and the other is munstead wood .

she loves them when they bloom , she just not very handy when it comes to pruning time , I'm happy to do that for her
