news
I have just bought 6 Rhapsody in Blue roses. I threw away the
labels, not liking any plastic in the garden . Theyr'e
beautifully
perfumed but I can't remember whether they're repeat flowering
or
other details. I've Gogled the name and come up with nothing
other
than the Gershwin offering/
I haven't seen this rose before I remember it won some prize in
2003 abd would have expected a write up somewhere but No!
**********************************
Thankyou one and all for the information.
I love it and it just suits my purpose very well
I have a "Magic Circle" and in true tradition have green, red,
yellow
and blue quarters.
I have red "Royal William" and L.D. Braithwaite (but now wish I had
more "Fred Loads"!
I have "Pilgrim" in the yellow quarter and "Arthur C. Bell" but
wish
I had all "Korresia"
Now I am buying...I shall need 6 more Rhapsody in blue.


It's surrounded by pink Grostendoorst, Canary Bird, Roserie de
l'hay
X3,Plein de grace X3,Ispahan,Albertine etc.

I shall be delighted with this "minor key" rose the perfume is
lovely..to add to my "lunatic according to my husband" rose
collection.I have rose over the roof of the house "Treasure Trove"
over large pillars over the buildings, Bobbie James, Wedding Day,
Kiftsgate"Hymalian Musk.
They all throw a beautiful perfume into the air at the moment.
Thanks again everyone.

Wow, what a wonderful display! I won't say "Blessed be", since you
obviously blessed _are_ !

Thankyou:-)
You are right thte desplay is marvellous and the perfume amazing what
really gets me down when I try to photograph the things I see before me
the camera obviously doesn't see the same as I do. I suppose I should have
something other than a digital camera with a different lens?

I doubt if it's the camera or the lens: great photographers can use
depressingly simple equipment. The camera really _does_ see things
differently, because it hasn't got a brain processing the
information. Practice is the only way. When working with children on
seeing nature, I used to get them to look through little frames and
tubes to get different views -- amazing how a cardboard frame can
make a view into a picture, or a loo-roll tube can turn your eye into
a telescope or a microscope! I'd guess photography trainers use the
same sorts of tricks -- and I know they use plain white sheets of
stuff as reflectors to bring light into places we don't even realise
are shaded because the brain fills in the missing detail, but which
look murky when our pictures come back.

Some good ideas there! I've been trying a video, but got quite dizzy:-)
Practice is surely the answer. My partner's father ws an expert
photographer but unfortunately like dot take photographs of rusty garages
and pickled tramps (yes...Diogenes!)
