| Can I remember how to do this? A wet day and the roses are cheering me up. This is the view from my dining room The red one is Amadeus, the apricot on left is Crown Princess Margareta, white is Our Vanilla and the other apricot on the right is Claire. The odd ones are Apricot Nectar and Brass Band (orange)
And from the window the other side of the room is my 'red' garden. Fourth of July is looking sad in the rain taken through the window but still beautiful.

| Thank you Mary Ann and Chas. My goodness Chas, aren't you clever to put all the horses names into one sentence. Thing is, did you back the winner? I felt so sorry for the rider who came second. Also felt sorry for the rider who should have been on the winner, his folly cost him a lot of money and prestige |

| No Tricia, no bikkies this year but there's always next time. I think i heard that there are 16,000 roses at Flemington and didn't they look great-plenty of horse manure I presume. regards chas |

| Yes the roses looked great, lots of apricot shades too I see. Wonder if they have many David Austins there, does anyone have any idea of which roses they grow? |
|
| The head gardener said they are mostly Floribunda because of the longer flowering period. David Austins were mentioned but I can't remember what was said- too busy trying to pick a winner. Something i read or saw somewhere was that tea roses are so called because they originally came from China in the old tea clippers. chas |
