| Long name but this rose is so lovely I could not resist a photo - and thornless. The pink is really breathtaking. This is one bush planted a year ago and there is actually another bush 60 cm away from it which I just rescued and is now only 10 cm high but the two of them will be a power to reckon with in the future I think. This rose has been FLOODED periodically (as my house has no guttering by design and this is planted at the lowest point for the roof water to collect where there is a drain) and then ignored the rest of the time. No food as I have not got around to that part of the garden but when I do, I will jsut give her some manure and mabye some mulch.

It certainly must really enjoy where it is planted.
A very pretty colour, and a great performer.
Cheers..MM. |

It is a gorgeous rose - vibrant and with a wonderful smell and flowers forever.
David Austin loves this rose - even in winter it gave enough blooms for his daughter's wedding bouquet :) In my neck of the woods is a bit prone to BS, but it is forgiven! Your rose has a prime spot and is doing you proud :) All the best, mary ps. just add an "e" to the end of Drouine |

Looks beautiful and to think no thorns and a beautiful perfume, what more can you want in a pretty rose.
I love the aged timber on your house it goes so well with your garden and surrounds..

| Thanks Marion - the timber is not aged - house is 5 years old - it is cedar painted with "weathered cedar" stain by Cabots. Takes all the yellowness of the new timber away. Just had a cabana built in the same timber and it also now looks "old". About to plant devonesisis climbing and 2 softies (miniature climber recommended by Deryn) to climb around it. |

| Thankyou for the beautiful pictures - now I am convinced I have two Zepherins growing on an arch - There is an Agatha Christie mystery with Inspector Poirot in which the murderer is discovered because she says the scratch on her arm was from this thornless rose - aha -she was fibbing - but the rose in the drama on TV was red, not pink.So I thought Bunnings must have got it wrong. Your pictures clear up the puzzle - they used the wrong rose bush for Poirot's moment of drama, - he called it 'the zeph', and it wasn't. I can't wait for min to cover the arch, as your zephs look lovely. |
