My rose in flower

Sorry not the best of pictures...but the thing is I need smelly threads...for you to get the full benefit...the rose smells gorgeous....as you open the gate...even people walking the other side of the fence have come to the front and commented on its scent..

That's very beautiful Kazz, is it new this year? It looks lovely with the acer in the foreground too...

Such a mass of flowers and I can just imagine the fragrance wafting from them...

Wow - that looks lovely. I don't even have buds yet.

I can smell it from here!!!!

That's a lovely rose! Do you know its name?

pookyandjo · 29-05-2009, 04:07 AM

it does look beautiful with all the other colours surrounding it...and yes! a smelly thread would be a really good option!

That's very nice.
Strangely, I, the rose-sceptic, have been looking at climbers/ramblers to replace my late wisteria.
I'll keep you posted
(Do all climbers have a scent?)

Regretfully, no.

But many do, will look out a list of some for you after lunch. My favorite rose catalogue wouldn't let me copy the link!

If anyone lives near enough to get to Mottisfont Abbey (National Trust) they have a lovely walled rose garden, which should be getting near it's best just now.

DM. here are some fragrant climbers:

Don Juan - red, very fragrant
Blush Noisette - pink, fragrant
Cecile Brunner - pink, fragrant
Coral dawn - deep pink, fragrant
Zepherine Drouhin - raspberry pink, very fragrant
Sombreiul - white, very fragrant
Mme, Alfred Carrier - white, very fragrant

Some of these come in shrub form also, look to be sure if you get one that it's a climber.

Two beautiful very hardy ones I grow are Alchymist - apricot orange, and Variegata de Bologna, red and white striped. Unfortunately only very faint if any fragrance.

Hope this is of some interest.
