My rose in flower

Yes, thankyou
Apricot, lemon or white would be my choice. My neighbour has a nice apricot rambler on our joint fence and I enjoy those flowers but there doesn't appear to be any scent

DM May I suggest this site...http://www.davidaustinroses.com/english/searchlist.asp

The people who write the descriptions must have extremely keen senses of smell; my Alchymist is supposedly fragrant...but isn't. Those last two whites on the list are very fragrant according to my rose book; have never seen either in the flesh, so to speak. Both are repeat bloomers.

That's an excellent site Kazz posted; I have several Austin roses. I'd suggested some of the older varieties as they've proved their hardiness over the years, and I know you don't care for fussy roses that need a lot pf pruning, coddling and spraying!

Thanks Kazz - what about Goldfinch? Looks good?

I am going to visit the David Austin roses place in Wolverhampton in the next week...anything you would like to ask Eileen.

That sounds like a great place to visit, Kazz, don't forget the camera! And you never did say the name of your beautiful climber.
