Hi can anyone suggest a good rose cultivar as a wedding gift for the
following situation.


To grow in a container on a balcony, (2nd or third floor) in Bristol UK

Hi Jim,

How about "Love"? It is a red with white reverse and does not grow to be a
large bush, floribunda as I recall.
I presume it is available in the UK as it is older variety whose patent has
expired and should be available world wide.

Hi.. thanks for that...

I couldn't find an exact match (at least not yet!) but found a similar
name.. I will have to do a little more research to find out if it 'is'
the one you mention... Closest I found was "Love Token" but not sure
whether thats just another sales name or a different cultivar
altogether.

I will wait a bit to see if anyone else has any suggestions;-)

Cheers

So the balcony has a southern exposure? I'd give my eye teeth to have
Harkness roses...how about Calliope:

http://www.roses.co.uk/rose/flori/calliope.htm

or Great Expectations (through Cocker on this website)
http://www.roses.uk.com/rosedet.cfm?roseid=345

Or The Lady, which was beautiful at St. Albans.

Or how about a Cocker rose, Heart of Gold:

Are you going to supply the pot? It sometimes costs more than the rose.
Get a large one - 15 gallon minimum.
