Bit of a disappointing year for this rose, as the blooms do not do well in wind/rain. It still has moments of perfection though! 💕 #septemberblooms

The heat is sending my roses into overdrive! I’d like them to last a little longer after waiting all this time... 🙏🏻💗

Beautiful pic 💕🐝💕

I so love this rose 💓💓 and with a bee it's even better

The bee should be happier now it’s fully open - he was desperately trying to get between the petals! 🤣🐝 @prettylittleimagez

It’s finally back! 💗💗💗

Beautiful the rose has done you proud.. 💗

I’m a bit of a helicopter parent at the moment - feeling the pressure not to let anything happen to it!! 🤣 @solly1961

No way!!! Yay!!! And what a beauty she is, she will be very happy in your garden I’m sure 💗

Stunning, first of many? 💕💕💕

I hope you’re right - you made me do it!! 🤣 @dan5584

You never know! @anges although I’d better see if I can keep this one alive first! 😆

And a very beautiful one too 💞💞💞

Smells lovely too! 💕 @pelly

Even better 👍💞

I maybe getting this one myself at some point 🙄🙄

The flowers are actually massive! @prettylittleimagez

This one’s for you! @dan5584

Oh lovely, gorgeous colour too! Another rose in your garden! 💓

I was going for Dame Judi as fancied going a bit orange, but none at garden centre and too impatient to re-order!! This one also good for partial shade though, so cross your fingers for me! 🤞🏻💗 @dan5584

Oh it’s one of my favs, smells fantastic too! @mulberry

It really does! I really appreciate having something else sniffable now the lilac and philadelphus have gone over, makes my heart happy! 💗 @dan5584

Have a look at the Ifold Gardening Club’s Facebook page, Hilly. One of our members posted a photo of her Dame Judy and it’s magnificent. You might decide to order one once you’ve seen it!!! 😘

I was a bit disappointed, but there had obviously been a run on orange roses - Roald Dahl and Lady of Shalott had gone too! 🤣 @jacaranda

If I can keep this one alive and also find another suitable spot, Judi might go on my birthday list! @jacaranda

👍🎂🎉🤣😘

Haha now Nick is not into gardening in the slightest but when we saw this rose for sale at Wisley he really wanted me to buy it- think it was the Iron Maiden connection 🤣
