I said that I wouldn't buy any roses today but my gardener friend at the Nursery said that he had a rose that I just had to have - he always says that. However from a French breeder called Michel Adam and I was asked to trial it for illnesses and weather etc. Quite looking forward to it really. The only problem that I have with this rather lovely Rose that apparently has scent to die for is the name - Elvis. How romantic. It is a white erect bush - 120cm and extremely resistant to all the known illnesses and rain. There isn't a picture at the moment so I am really looking forward to seeing it and also feel rather flattered that I have been asked to trial it. The other rose that I chose/was told to choose is Felidae from Schultheis. A modern "old" rose which is yellow to apricot and creme-white outer petals. Fast thornless.  All in all 2 rather nice roses and a bit different from my normal rose shopping. RF |

Hi rosefan and rm
well obviously all the official trials have been done otherwise the rose wouldn't be allowed as you well know but it is a first in Germany and should be shown next year.
Must admit I am a little excited.
I will show a load of photos and ask for your comments..
