Tessa Have a br...Anna Thanks for your kind message<br /><br />Tessa Have a browse through David Austen Roses. I tend to prefer the Ramblers which are more suited to my garden as they tend to have longer more flexable growth as opposed to the climbers which tend to be more rigid and erect. I do have Albertine and New Dawn on the front and back of the house which are climbers and are lovely.<br /> http://www.davidaustinroses.com/<br />David Austen English roses are also a favourite for their old rose appearance, perfume and repeat flowering.<br />I get the catalogue every year and spend many happy hours browsing through it. In fact it is a useful reference when writing my blog. I don't like to see labels in the garden but I do keep a rough plan of the names and situation of my roses and clematis. As well as a box full of labels in my seed drawer.Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12905137222286141548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3981923768479808158.post-7321743213432437702009-06-02T02:10:39.051+01:002009-06-02T02:10:39.051+01:00I love taking a stroll in your cottage garden- it ...I love taking a stroll in your cottage garden- it is exactly what I hope to have someday. I'm totally clueless when it comes to roses and purchased what I thought we old fashioned rambling roses- they were not what I wanted or expected. I do see the ones I wanted in your garden, however, looks like your the person I need to chat up about this when I'm ready to try again!Tessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12357951823874888877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3981923768479808158.post-24543510706248672422009-06-01T23:07:29.800+01:002009-06-01T23:07:29.800+01:00How lovely to come home to such beauty and perfume...How lovely to come home to such beauty and perfume Joanne - must have cheered you up.

I am looking forward to the pictures of your garden and if we ever get to meet up I have my eye on replacements for the plants that went astray.Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12905137222286141548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3981923768479808158.post-51852926509218551352009-06-01T10:16:05.339+01:002009-06-01T10:16:05.339+01:00Beautiful roses!

I really do believe that a garden is a wonderful place to express your personality.<br /><br />I can never quite get over just how many boring gardens you see, but yours is most definitely not one of those!jane colleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15540110491500118125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3981923768479808158.post-87867159800905751262009-05-31T21:58:31.566+01:002009-05-31T21:58:31.566+01:00Thanks for all your lovely comments.
Catherine I t...Thanks for all your lovely comments.<br />Catherine I took a cutting from New Dawn and it grows on a north facing wall and still manages to flower although a little less robust than it's parent which get's more sun. I don't think New Dawn likes a lot of heat and sun. Most ramblers, climbers tend to only flower once. Although Cornelia can be grown as a short climber and it flowers all summer.<br /><br />Hermes Thanks I can happily enjoy the roses and clematis as well as other plants and pretend the weeds are not realy there.<br /><br />Patient Gardener The first rambler Greenfinch grows up a picket fence amongst winter jasmin and clematis.<br /><br />Hi Joco Dad seems to have had a mini stroke but did improve as the week went by. At 88 he has always been very active and able to do his lovely garden but I think my brother will be giving him a hand.<br />Well I daresay we could rectify our lack of coordination in the roses department. I must come and look through your cupboards and see if there is another rose I could squeeze in somewhere.<br /><br />Welcome to those of you posting here for the first time.<br /><br />I am very remiss in visiting other blogs at present so much to catch up on in the garden and Saturday night when I tried to catch up the sytem was slow.<br /><br />I have also been a bit distracted with my Lyme awareness. <br /><br />I had the best possible news, a little boy Lewis whose blog I had been following after reading about him in the Daily Mail has at last been tested positive for Lyme and will now be treated on long term antibiotics.<br /><br />I expect you all get sick of the sound of Lyme on my blog but it realy is unbelievable what is going on or not as the case may be. The biggest medical cock up ever.<br /><br />This little boy was bitten whilst holidaying in the South of France and then became progressively ill so that he is completely unable to use arms or legs cannot hold up his head and has to be tube fed. Also many other symptoms. He has seen World reknown Neurologists and had every test imaginable but because of the problems over Lyme Tests, Lyme was dismissed. <br /><br />You can read his story through a link on the right.

How fun that you and your Dad can discuss roses like that, it must be nice having gardening in common!<br />Do you have any roses that do okay in part shade? That's really all the space I have left. I would love a new pink one.Catherine@AGardenerinProgresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05001060769253273283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3981923768479808158.post-46143935253209900472009-05-30T23:13:21.950+01:002009-05-30T23:13:21.950+01:00Your roses are all beautiful-I can imagine your jo...Your roses are all beautiful-I can imagine your joy in returning home to the beauty and fragrance of all your roses.<br />CarolynCarolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06365004847174534068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3981923768479808158.post-79036400030737180252009-05-30T22:41:47.988+01:002009-05-30T22:41:47.988+01:00Hi, I had that "one day rose" at my other house,as...Hi, I had that "one day rose" at my other house,as well.
