[/QUOTE Hi Gail, me again I'm in Newry, Northern Ireland so we have wet weather here. Sunshine what's that! I checked out some of the neighbours gardens to see how their roses are doing. They look good so that means mine should do well too. Right? I've checked out some web sites and I've decided to go for the hybrid tea rose. I like the look of the "Ingrid Bergman" and it's a beautiful red colour. (You'd think I knew what I was talking about) Now I have to find a garden centre that sells it! I have 2nd and 3rd preferences as well, just in case. I like "Blue Moon" and "Deep Secret" so here goes. Brendy. -- Brendy Hi Brendy - Please send some of your cold wet weather here! It's good to check out the neighbors and assume you'll have similar conditions and similar success. I've heard good things about "Ingrid Bergman" although I've never grown it. A lot of people in the States swear by "Mr. Lincoln". I had one, killed it, but that was back when I didn't know what I was doing with roses. Well, I still kill roses on occasion but less out of ignorance. I think. "Blue Moon" is one of my favorite roses but I've not been able to keep one alive. It just doesn't do well in local hot conditions. Well worth trying, though, if you can find it. I'm not familiar with "Deep Secret". Sometimes roses aren't available here (USA) that are available in Europe and vice versa. I wanted a rose called "Amazon" that I saw in New Zealand years ago, but of course it's not available in the States. Good luck, and let us know what you finally buy.
