    We went to David austins Roses this week, this is a short tour of his display gardens. It was crowded so we did not get as many clear photos as we would have liked.

    If I ever want a rose, it will be an Austin rose. :D Thanks for sharing, Palustris. I know I'd love to go there some day.

    The smell was indeed rather pleasant Have to say that unlike a lot of people I have not fallen for the massive confidence trick that is rose selling.

    What a variety and so many different colours. I can almost smell them all from here. I'm not usually a rose fan but I do have a few favourites that I grow. I would love to see the Davis Austin's Rose Garden though. Thanks for taking the time to post them all for us Eric. :-D

    I meant to say that you can upload your photographs of the roses to the 'Plants' pages Eric.
