| Hello everybody,
I went to Gardenworld in Springvale (aprox 40 min drive from melb) and bought 'Heritage' by David Austin. Anyone who lives in Melb should visit that place one day. It's Huge!!!
I'm hoping the flowers would look nice - it wasn't in bloom when i got it...it was the only plant that looked healthy. The other roses had black spots..
Anyway, if anyone has any photos of this rose please share because i like to see more. I was thinking of getting Sharifa Asma, but they have one in stock.
Later, i potted my rose.
There are questions that i like to know:
a) the weather has been very hot and dry in aust. I am thinking if it ever rain, i will move my pot to a shelter position to prevent black spots developing. Am i being a bit far-fetched here?
b)The pot is quite big, and I like to know do roses and annuals like petunnia mix together well and live in harmony? |

| **BUMP** I suppose that no one replies in this side of the forum? Honestly, they should have just kept it to one rose discussion forum instead. |

| Here you are Jimmy. In my experience heritage is healthy and doesnt get much blackspot. Shariffa Asma is also alovely rose with a nice fragrance

| that looks superb! but do they last long in a vase? do u have any photos of sharifa asma? I still can't tell the difference between both of them, I mean, out of the 2 which one has a dark pink? |

They will last 3 or 4 days if you pick them as buds.The next pic is Shariffa Asma.It has a nice fragrance
 But if you like pink David Austin roses have you ever thought of Brother Cadfael? It is almost thornless and ha s a beautiful fragrance |

they look awesome!
Sharifa asma looks pretty there...I can't almost tell the difference between her and Heritage in terms of color, but the petals are a give away.
Brother Cadfael is a too pinkish. I prefer blush pink with some white color.
Geoff Hamilton looks nice too... I love "the cup with ribbons" type of roses - they look so different to other roses.
