I bought it as a half-standard for my late sister. It grows roses all summer long so I am very excited to see the first bud. K
WOW that's a really gorgeous rose and such a delicate shade of pink. Your photograph shows it of to perfection.
Thanks Toni, That Image is from where I bought it but if it comes true to what my sister did have then its going to be lovely. I will see in a few weeks when i visit my sister's home what kind it is and take a pic. Best to wait till mid summer. Mine cost £45 with postage so it better do something............. Ebay have it like this so all different. Those are Images off the net but I am certainly hoping they will be like that on mine when summer comes. At the moment it will be building roots and making new leaves. Thanks everyone, appreciate all your replies. K
That is a luscious-looking rose, Kate. I hope that yours does well for you. I shall stay tuned to see what it produces this summer. Where did you buy this one? I ask because when I was in your country a few years ago, I went to a place called Peter Beal's to look at his selection. I was quite impressed. I looked at the various types and saw what I liked and then bought it here when I got back home. --but what a place! I understand that Mr Beals has passed away now; hopefully his staff will carry on the tradition. At any rate the delicate appearance of this rose that you have really does look attractive. Good luck with it, meid.
I hope it does the same Sjoerd, I have three choices which rose it was my late sister had which is still at her front door border. It could be Happy Retirement which I have bought and appeared here in the thread. Happy Birthday.; that is a cream so not that one. Celebration rose; no, thats a yellow rose. I should be on the right track with Happy Retirement. Another good rose for long flowering is Iceberg. My late husband and I bought that in the 70s. K
Well, I really like roses, but I have but one. The size of my lottie does not allow room for more than that. My rose is a Westerland. I find it an apart rose with an apart fragrance.
