Paul Transon-I only got him bare root last year(thanks Lozza).He has had a few blooms whilst growing but had his first full spring flush this year.He covered himself in large glorious blooms of varying colour-some pinkish,some apricoty
and some a mixture.Wonderful perfume-I am so rapt in this rose! Definitely soulfood.
This is not the last you'll see of this rose-every pic I took looked wonderful-will post more later.
regards
sandie

| Your picture looks like pink flummery, !!! I have a question about Dorothy Perkins on another thread, how does Paul Transon compare in growth habit and size.? |

Thanks all-I think everyone should have this rose. :)
Hi Marion-Given my preferences I would choose PT over DP anytime.
I fell in love with Paul out at Lozza's place where he is draped over a deck and intermingled with Mme Isaac Periere.
He was in full bloom and absolutely glorious-no two blooms the same-some pink some apricot and all with a creamy base.
He is quite big out at Lozza's Place and mine has grown amazingly well in the year he has been in.
I would definitely consider him-he is a beautiful toughie and also has the advantage over DP in that he repeats-mine was covered in early spring and is setting more buds now.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this rose!

Sandie and Lozza, Please do you have a picture of what your roses are climbing over, so that I can show Henry what is needed to be built.
I have to lodge the request early so he can ponder the problem and gather the goods. LOL |

Absolutely beautiful, Sandie.
A friend of mine has a beautiful wooden archway covered with this beauty - a picture in Spring :)

| Ashmeri, don't have a picture of that deck. It extends 9' from our games room, which is 22' wide. It is about 5' high. The rose was planted near the room on one side of the deck. It has covered the deck and cascades over the edges. Being next to the rotary clothes line, it needs judicious trimming from time to time. It is very procumbent, a typical rambler, and would take a long time to grow up on itself if ever. Needs a structure to support it. |

| Now Lozza, you have given me an idea. We have no long balcony but I do know where I can get some disused Hills Hoists. Can just see a beautiful rose growing over one of them , should be strong enough to hold it too. Watch out for my order. Marion, for the roses not the hills hoists LOL |

| Lovely Sandie - that one has been on my wish list for a long time. We are putting up fencing next year, to restrict the dogs from the wetter area down the back of our block during winter. I plan to have something around 6ft high with pine poles top and bottom and heavy guage netting. It will eventually be covered with roses :-) |
