Oooh thanks for the noms all, she is a bonny lass if I say so myself

Although the petals look waxy they are not LG, quite soft actually. I am amazed how many buds it has to come, all round the base of the stem I can see them starting to form. I've never tried to grow these before and just picked up a pack of reduced seeds late season last year. They are f1 hybrids so no chance of viable seed, but I am going to try a leaf cutting - for the first time. Supposedly they can be propagated quite easily by that method. Famous last words

Rosefriend, thank you for enlarging, I failed miserably trying. Ladygardener, I'm pleased you like it. I am hoping it will be ok on the plot, I've planted it where it will hopefully be slightly sheltered (well as much as you can on an exposed slope) but I may need to give it a bit of winter protection.

Lovely rose blc.

Thanks. We bought 4 of them and they are all different sizes. I don't know if the soil is poorer as we go left across the front yard or what. This one is probably just shy of 3 ft right now and the last one in probably just over 1 ft. Weird. I guess eventually they will all catch up.
