and it has turned about to be good business sense by them as I have probably spent $200 there in the last month (ok.. not all from the gardening section)

A 'nut' is technically an amazing example of ingenuity in the plant world - designed to withstand the elements - so thanks for the compliment Roseman ... i guess I'd rather be a nut than a burr

I don't tend to spend from there , I get most of my gardening stuff from work

lol hariet

Lovely Dan.  Nahema is a new one for me and will go on the ever growing list!  I am also growing Radox Bouquet and it's going great guns!!  It's in it's first year too.  Lovely to see Fragrant cloud again.  One of my favourites.

thanks sue

Oh, I've added a few more roses to my 'must have' list after reading all this! The picture of Mme Hardy is divine! I purchased a plant 2 or 3 years ago and it has yet to flower (made the mistake of moving it shortly after first planting and then pruning before flowering - oops!!). I'm desperately waiting to see if it will flower but no buds in sight.
Did someone mention starting a topic on 'moss roses' way back? I have a small moss circle of 2 varieties (Alfred de Dalmas, Soupert et Notting) but hope to do more so any info would be appreciated!!

Nice roses Jordan.I'm finding Honey Dijon is a better second year rose doing very well for me.What is that lovely rose behind it in a crismon orange colour.

that's fragrant cloud Danny

Dan, which one of the 'Phoenix' is it please.

its the second release to the Firestar rose David

Dan, you have lost me, can you give some more info please

lol I'm lost David , what do you want to know ?

This is the part I am asking about, I can't work out the relation to Firestar and the roses on HMF named 'Phoenix'

okay david you would be looking at a different phoenix

the phoenix that I have was released by knights roses , it is the second in the series of roses that where dedicated to fire-fighters

hopefully that helped answering your question

Thanks Dan, now I get it, I will have look at thier site

I wonder what it's real name was ?

Not sure David , but I really like this rose

I think it was released by knights and i have seen it last 2 yrs at masters hardware.

yes it was released by knights

Hi Dan, Good to see you are still producing the most spectacular of Roses, you really are a Master of the Art.
Does The Squire stay Purple and have you seen it as a Standard. How does it perform in the heat?
Happy Gardening...  

hi Dianne , nice to see you back , hope u are feeling better

as far as I know the squire not available as a standard, as for colour it is one of David Austin darkest rose IMO , just an opinion if u have a shady part I would plant it there, as the blooms can burn , but other than that health wise I cant say I've had any issues.

hope this helps
