    Here are just a few of the roses I have growing in my garden at the moment. They really brighten up the garden and they smell as good as they look.

    Lovely pics Eileen. I do like the last one best of all. However, as you know, roses aren't really my thing, however, that said, we are looking into getting one called Centenary in celebration of my darlings Nan who celebrated her 100th birthday in July. I shall be bothering you for care instructions!!

    Believe it or not EJ roses aren't my favourite flower either. I just seem to have collected them somehow along the way when they leapt into my shopping basket!! :rolleyes: All of them are scented by the way. :-D

    The one you asked about Sharon is called 'Pink Spangles' - it's a mini.
    The last one that EJ and Polly liked best is my 'Iceberg' it's been flowering for ages and still has lots of flowers on it. :-D

    The pic's are very nice. Since my hubby got me a Rose bush I'v loved them since then. They are alot easyer to grow then I thought :eek: . Now that I see mini ones I'll put them front of the large one I have. I thinking yellow or peach would look good with the pink one. After this storm passes I'll be going to Home Depot.
