I love and adore this rose. He was bought in memory of my dear dad. He has a very subtle scent and more beautiful buds to bloom very soon 🩷🩷🩷💜💜

What a beautiful memorial rose. So pretty. 💗💜

Lovely 🥰

Beautiful 🐝

All your roses are looking absolutely amazing. ⚘️😍⚘️

@jeatacake You're very kind Jeff. I'm sick of blackspot though. Even my Freddie rose has got it. I think only two roses I've got look free of it 😓

It's something that's pretty widespread & there's not a lot you can really do about it. A bit like tomato & potato blight (unless you get blight-resistant varieties). Some of mine usually get it too, but it never seems to affect how well they bloom though. 😏🥀

@jeatacake That's true Jeff, about blooming. Freddie rose for one, is in fine form. I've got several lovely blooms on him 🧡🧡

I'm really lucky with this rose this year. Two beautiful roses bloomed today, I was really surprised 💗💗💗💗#rose-mylovelydad

It’s a beauty 💗

Very pretty 💕

Another bloom, what a wonderful rose this is 💕💕💜💜

That's so beautiful 💕💕

@london148 Thank you so much Debra. In remembrance of my dear dad 💕💜

Oh that a very special rose then 💜

@london148 It certainly is 💜💕

Another beautiful one. You’re making your dad proud and great tribute to him. 😇

My third rose on this so far, and more buds too. This rose has really surprised me 💕💕💜

Its another beauty you have 💕😍💕

@jeatacake Thank you Jeff. I bought it after my dear dad left us 😓💕💕💜

A wonderful tribute 💗

I'm so happy to see him bloom again. Bless you dear dad, I think of you everyday and miss you so much 💕💕💜

Oh that’s a nice one and such a great tribute to your dad. 😍

@philstalder Thank you Phil. That's what I feel about it 💕💕💜

💗💗💗🙂

I can hardly wait to see this wonderful rose turn from red to lilac. It amazed me the first time I saw it and I know it will again ♥️♥️💜

Where do you find your roses. You have a lot of uncommon and gorgeous ones. 😍

@philstalder Oh thank you Phil..I've only bought two online, the Freddie rose and the Rhapsody in Blue. The rest from Garden Centre's and the odd few from Morrison's Supermarket ♥️♥️

That’s what I do too. I have really expensive and really cheap plants from the dollar store to high end garden centers. I’ll never forget I went to a garden show at a highbrow place and wanted to buy a really expensive plant and the man said he wouldn’t sell it to me unless I promised to take care of it and send him pictures twice a year. Lol 😊

@philstalder 😁What an odd man, what plant was it he was so protective over? And did you get it?

I don’t remember what it was because it died. It was some kind of succulent I’ve never seen before. I never sent him pictures either. Lol 😂

@philstalder They're not my thing really. I like some but I can't be messing about with them. I like big flowering plants! 😁🌹🌹

@philstalder Good thing you didn't send him pics. You could imagine his face if it was anything less than how he sold it to you 😂

Haha, he was an odd duck for sure. 😊

@philstalder Haha an odd duck, I like it 🦆😁
