Seven New Roses for the Garden!

The roses which we ordered in the winter for delivery in the spring arrived yesterday. Subsequently I have been busy getting them in.....not to mention rushing round for more planting compost and manure!

They were delivered by Guillot , a firm which specialises in old roses or 'roses anciennes'. Amongst a huge variety, I chose the rose bush, Hugh Dickson (image source) and



'Queen of Bourbons' :




Other roses ordered included 3 more climbers, and one contemporary rose which they sent as a gift which is highly scented - so I placed it near the house.

I can't believe it, but in total I have THIRTY roses!!!!
