Mairin's Journal

Oooo,,congradulations with new rose in your garden,Mairin,now i can't wait summer,when it start flowering :)

How exciting. I bet you can't wait to see the flowers next year : )

What a lovely rose whare are you going to plant it.????

Lovely, lovely, is it scented?

That rose is amazing. Have you got all the bone meal, well rotted manure etc. :-). Good luck with it, it will be great next year.

Glad it arrived for you, as Pat says give it a good start.

That's gorgeous, Mairin.

Clara, this rose likes to be planted against a northwest facing wall where it can enjoy a cool root run.  Thankfully, I have the exact spot - between a bamboo and a red acer. 

Sharon, this rose has a strong, sweet and gloriously heavy fragrance, according to Dermot O'Neill.  I have never seen it anywhere so I'll be waiting.    

Pat, I have some farmyard manure so it has been given a good helping.
