I was quite sad to have to leave her behind. There may be newer roses that might suit you better though, I've been in my present house 26 years. I'll leave others to advise you about what they might be. Tina |

With flowers at head height or is your priority to cover the wall even if most of the flowers are at 10ft or more? Are you happy getting on ladders to prune 12ft tall roses? Would you prefer less vigorous varieties that, say, got to 6 or 8 ft? -- Regards. Bob Hobden. Posted to this Newsgroup from the W of London, UK |

Likewise "Tess of the D'Urbavilles". -- Regards. Bob Hobden. Posted to this Newsgroup from the W of London, UK |
