Does it have hips? The leaves could even smell faintly with a nice rose scent. Nostalgie is pretty. I have not seen that.

Not quite Merlin. It said that 'some roses do well in shade, but most prefer a good amount of daylight. Aim to give them half the day in sun.' This was referring to roses in containers which can be moved about.

But what if it's cloudy on the sunny half?

Could it be this one? I have Graham Thomas among the weeds somewhere. It call catches up with me at this time of the year.

All the roses in this garden were already here so I have no idea of names.

I'm planning some more raised beds around the courtyard, these will be in full sun and out of the danger of floods. It will need to remain in a pot for a while longer so I will need to keep it healthy. I know I will need to keep it watered but it will need feeding too, what should I feed it and how often?

Sorry but I've forgotten what Rose it was, is it an exisisting one, what sort and when did you pot it up?

I would give it ordinary liquid feed, stopping it in mid-July to prevent new growth which would be susceptible to frosts.

Merlin, it is one I dug out of the garden, I have no idea what it is, it has been in the pot for six months or so.

We went sniffing roses again today and both liked the smell and colour of Golden Bouquet

www.helpmefind.com/rose/l.php?l=2.36283.0

It was £20

is this the sort of money roses are?

As for new ones, well it's a nice ocupation sniffing/admiring but I'd juat make notes until Oct/Nov when you can buy them bare rooted for about £9.

From £15 upwards yes, for a mature one that's been nurtured for a few years.
Have a look at this site, i've used this one a few times - whether you buy or not it gives you a good idea of prices, sizes, fragrances and types.
