Be interesting to see if this ends up as a green square - said error loading !! Happens a lot 😩

Definitely not a green square, it’s a beauty Christine 😍

No it’s an absolute beautiful red rose…..they can’t seem to get it right can they 🙄

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom Hi Elaine I seem to be able to put a couple of pics on then grinds to a halt or error message and either pic on multiple times or green square !!! I’ve just had to choose between your name with or without a ‘p’ in Thompson - hope I’ve got it right🙄👵🏻

@sieveheadsarah thanks - this is usually my first and last rose every year, but late this year. 3 bushes been here since I moved in (1993)! We had some building work done about a month ago - new pathing in back garden - builder left his ladders and planks leaning on the fence where roses are just as buds forming got squashed 😱 and they didn’t look like they were going to make it! But struggled on - they smell heavenly ❤️

I think roses are pretty indestructible Christine, this one looks like velvet 😍

@grandmagizzy It’s Thompson Christine…👍🏼 this site can’t cope with all the downloads it’s not big enough especially at this time of year when we all have extra photos…it’s a shame cos it drives you mad..🙄

Love the deep colour ♥️♥️

It’s beautiful, I love the dark reds. I have black baccara but it’s struggled, 1 flower last year and then got put in a pot to move and replanted. It’s alive and I really hope it flowers this year.

First out as usual - smells heavenly ❤️

Beautiful 🌹

Wow!! That's so beautiful I haven't heard of this one, have you Elaine @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom 😊😊♥️♥️

@midnightgardener oh isn’t it beautiful....no I’ve never heard of it ever..

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom @midnightgardener Elaine, Chris there are 3 bushes of these by my back fence been there since I moved in here in 1993!!! Was told they are Black Boy but seems to fit the description - tall up to 6ft and climbers if left alone! These usually grow a couple of foot above my 4’ fence - I cut them back a couple of times a year. Don’t need to tie them as so close to fence. Always first out and generally a bloom still on one of them in Nov❤️

Fabulous Christine...do they smell nice....

@grandmagizzy It sounds amazing ♥️♥️🖤🖤

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom the scent is heavenly - have to sniff them every time I walk past ❤️

Hi Grandma fizzy I love roses, but I only have a back yard , so I have bought some large pots and I have just received 4 bare root roses from "Peter Beale's" in Norfolk so I will post pics as and when I get them.

Hi @gosmanalf (Alfred or Alf?) I’ve three very old bushes with these dark red roses by my back gate they smell heavenly and were the first to bloom in the spring and lasted until now - love them 🌹❤️

Alf please,

Can I call you Christine ?

@gosmanalf 👍🏼 Christine , Alf.
