| Hi everyone
After stating about being addicted on Oz garden forum I decided I was going to be a very good girl. I had a little win on lotto last night. Just enough to buy some more roses at Mitre 10 (and two lovely oval shaped terracotta pots). The beauty of this was that it was also a fee ticket from golden casket. Well I headed down to Mitre 10 and found Lord Gold, Joyfullness, Ophelia, Pink peace and Tineke. I really wanted more though. When is enough ever enough? I then found out that the climbing roses I had lost were being replaced by garden express. What a day!!!
Don't know where I'll put them yet but I'm sure to find a place.
Have any of you had the above roses and how did they go? .They are apparently all hybrid teas. I found Garden magic quite a good site for finding some which weren't available on the other sites.
Incidentally it was a good excuse wasn't it????

How many is enough?Good question.
I have 65 now not including carpet roses and I would love 65 more:))
I have no more room having already started digging up the lawn!!!!
Yes I love the forum as well.Most enjoyable. In fact I have all the housework to do and meeting a friend for lunch and Im still sitting here at the computer on the forum:))
Of the roses you have mentioned above I have Peace...a truly wonderful rose.I havent had much luck with
it this year, thanks to an outbreak of BS.
It was so bad in Feb I had to prune it right back ,as you a winter prune.
It has come on beautifully but I think I will have to wait for next year for it to return to how it was.
Good Luck
