Roses
We are just trying out our rose growing skills, we walked around the local DIY center, and in their garden was this beautiful rose blood red (we did'nt know its name), but we thought we would take a chance on the couple of quid.
Fiona the good lady planted it on a south facing fence line in a box we had constructed, and this year it has with a bit of phosphate produced not one but three blooms with a delicate scent, not bad for begginers eh. We were so impressed with the roses that we have now planted climbing roses in the garden and as soon as we have our rose arch in bloom we will take a picture and post it on here. |

I don't know how it works where you are, but in the USA roses sold by nurseries come with tags that provide a name and, usually, a classification, like Hybrid Tea or Floribunda. You might check to see if such a tag exists someone on your rose bush.

Good job! We were so impressed with the roses that we have now planted climbing roses in the garden and as soon as we have our rose arch in bloom we will take a picture and post it on here. Climbing roses can be a real pleasure. They can also take up a lot of room and send canes into mowing paths! They usually take about three years to get established, and are heavier feeders than shrub roses. Photos should be posted to a web page or binary newsgroup and a link posted here. This is strictly a text-only newsgroup. But please do post a link. We love looking at rose photos. :) Gail near San Antonio TX USA Zone 8 -- terry macleod |
