This is the current content of the rose bowl in the sitting room - perfumes the whle room, lovely............... Graham Thomas, Roas mundi, Albertine and Eglantine
Love your roses and don't they make the house smell so nice! We had an Albertine rose years ago,Peace was another one I would like to find again, along with Golden Showers and Silver Jubilee,I'll have to keep a look out! Love from Kathy and the girls
The Albertine was a tiny wee, weak, straggly scrap of a rose when we moved in, struggling sort of along what was left of the front fence! I cut it very hard back, fed it well, and this year it has produced dozens of blooms. The others I planted since we moved in. I use the petals in various ways, also the rosehips for wine and hedgerow jellies etc.
