I planted crepescule after posting a message seeking advice on it about 2 months ago. On advice you kind rose growers gave, I bought it, planted it, watered it and would you believe, this week I watched it's first bud develop into one of the most beautiful flowers I have ever seen that today fully opened. And just a slight touch of a wonderful perfume! Thank you to those who told me how lovely it was. I will now nurture it through winter and look forward it it's matured magnificence.
Well, I just wanted to say that.
Thank again
Funnelweb.

Funnelweb wait until it's big and covered in flowers..
it's pretty special even if it's name is awful.. far better they had used the translation which is Twilight.. Also, when you get the TV broadcast of the Melbourne Cup in November, look at all the beautiful gold hedge that the winners come in and out past in the long passageway, that's your rose clipped into a hedge..Beautiful or what!!! |

| If magic Pete and Fran_c revisit this message: Pete, up here near Tweed Heads rposes etc don't really go fully into dormancy, just slow down a little. I've planted a few roses this year: seduction, freesia, climbing iceberg, crepescule, clm. Dublin Bay and all are puting on growth, in fact freesia is flowering. And fran_c, I've noticed that hedge on Melbourne cup day, thanks for telling me it's crep. and toy're right, Twilight would be much nicer. |
