Lots of Roses

Sue is the fence, the old fashioned timber paling or modern colour bond ?

Thanks silky. I'll nip down to Coles!

David, it is an old fashioned paling fence. Why? Got an idea?

Tightly strung fishing line so they can not walk along the tops.

or go to your local carpet dealer and see if he as any old carpet hold down strips of wood which you can nail to the top of your fence.......

Bloody Possums grrr

How do you rate Sarah Van Fleet Dan. I tried to purchase it this year but it was sold out, I will get in a bit earlier next year.

Dan you have a PM and email, please read them, thanks David.

she is a good rose david, very clean and no sign of disease , and good bloomer even though it has one flush.. the scent is great too

Ditto!!  I think I'll go with the carpet strips AND (!!) the fishing line!  Wonder if an electronic, automatic spotlight would also work?

I always love looking at your roses Dan. All lovely but Pat Austin always seems to call to me, maybe it's that rich colour. You have so many out already, I'm just a teeny bit jealous Lol

Sorry, forgot to complement you on your terrific roses Dan.  I'm really taken with Candlelight and Rosette Delizy.  You have some lovely roses, ones I've never seen before!  Where do you get them all from?

Excellent Photos. My Candlelight blooms are more yellow than the photograph you put up Jordan.

I wonder if the difference between your colour and Dans, the "unknown factor" soils, fertilizer, sun/shade, Doug.

Could anyone of those things or a combination of them or perhaps it could be the photograph not being true to colour as I know the one I put up is true to colour of my bush. Perhaps Jordan could comment.

Four different cameras will give you four different colors......I know with my dlsr that I can change the settings and get different colors.... its all to do with lighting.....

John I think what you have said is more than likely to be the money ball.

thanks sue. I have way too many roses and not enough room , I really have to stop getting more .. I would say probably I wont be getting anymore till I move to a bigger place .. lot of work in pots and it doesn't help that I work in a nursery as well LOL

yeah mine are usually more yellow, it is the first one of the season , I guess it might be the position..

I was surprised to read Candlelight is classified as a Hybrid Tea in Modern Roses. It will be very hard to place in a rose society show in NSW as it has the characteristics of a shrub rose.

Now to you experts, this is going to seem a silly question! What is the difference between a "bush" rose and a "shrub" rose? Size?

When referring to a  Shrub it  is a particular category of rose as is Hybdrid Tea, Floribunda, Grandiflora, Miniflora, Miniature etc. a bush rose is the way the rose grows.

The rose categories listed can be grown as a bush roses or a standard roses.

Hybrid Tea - Pope John Paul11, Amazing Grace(Chapman)
Floribunda - Brass Band, Flemington Racecourse(Chapman)
Grandiflora - Queen Elizabeth, 100 Not Out(Walsh)
Shrub - Love's Gift(Thomson), Paris 2000
Miniflora - Lennie(Hains), Red Gem(Chapman)
Miniature -Irresistible, Delicious(Welsh)

Thank you Doug. So am I right in saying, it's just the particular way it grows?
I'm sorry, but I'm still no wiser!

Ah Ha! I espy a thorn on your Z. Drouhin! I thought and was told, they are thornless. Last Autumn, we had a discussion on this and Bunnings selling them. I bought one - full of thorns - just to see if it really was Z. D! Still waiting for the first flower to come out. So, am I wrong with this thought? Sorry -

Sue, this is from HMF,

Tall, climbing, thornless (or almost). Matte, light green foliage.
