Looks splendid!

I have never seen this for sale here in Norway. Maybe it is not hardy enough for our climate.

Rosa moyesii 'Geranium'  against a blue sky on Thursday and grey sky today




Rosa 'Nevada'  Don't remember seeing it this good before.  It usually gets blackspot and I cut out the old stems annually but it must be three years since I've had to do that so it's got really big.

I'm enjoying the Roses Roma and Ralph (and a bit of alliteration too).

Thanks you, David.

Went to Sissinghurst yesterday to see the roses - splendid collection of old roses, pity it's so popular!

Rosa 'Handel'

618608-0

Rosa gallica 'Versicolor' (Rosa mundi).

618610-1

(in our garden, not Sissinghurst - too crowded for photography)

I am reminded by the photo that the favourite rose of the late  Agnes,  widow of our  dear friend Harold Esslemont, was Rosa 'Handel'
Funny how these things come to mind, isn't it ?

Maggi, I was working in McGredy's nursery when Handel was introduced in 1965, a long time ago. :)

Another great connection to remember, Michael. We were all a lot younger then, eh?
