Wow! I love roses too! unlike you however I only have a dozen or so. None are in bloom at present!(but quite a few have only been planted this year)
I love your first one most: cream abundance, very romantic/old fashioned!

Are those actual pictures of roses in your garden? They look like professional photos and are absolutely stunning. Fewer things in life are more beautiful than roses in full bloom. Perfection :T

brogsblue you just might be able to help me find a rose.
My mum had what i think was a rambling/climbing rose at the side of our front door when I was growing up. I have tried for a few years to find it.
It looks like the last picture (Scotch/Burnet Rose) but its a sort of rose coloured if yo know what i mean. I really would love to be able to plant one in my garden. Fingers crossed you just might be able to hep me track it down.
By the way your roses are stunning, as are the pictures.

Your garden must be an absolute joy to be in . I'm going to look at your website next.
Would you mind answering a query for me please ? Why does my Kiftsgate want to head north all the time ? I'd assumed it would grow towards the sun but each year it trails offf to the north.

What to do is bend the stems at right angle and the size shoots will grow straight .. giving you more flowers ..

Watch this video on how to train a rose .. hope this helps ..
