Looks as soft as a pillow. Great looks. What about scent?
Blossomtime reminded me of Frau Karl Druschki, large hybrid perpetual climber with extraordinary large white blooms. Do you have that one?

| I had not seen this thread but from an earlier comment by Sandie, today I drove to a nursery 40 km away to try and buy Blossomtime (they also did not have it at this time of year). So maybe next winter. I have a new veggie garden 11x11 metres and from 4m to 3 m high which is covered on all sides and top by chicken wire against the foxes and birds and other wildlife (hens, horses and others). So a large wire "monster" with raised garden beds in it as the veggie garden houses my 5 ducks and 1 drake as pest exterminators. Planted tonight Sombreuil, New Dawn (thanks Meryl!), Alfred Carriere, left a spot for Blossomtime right at the front, then Kathleen Harrop near the door so no thorns to grab you, and tomorrow gigantea and rambling rector up the back of it onto some gums. Cannot wait to find a blossomtime or to see my "mini-aircraft hanger" covered in roses. The ducks have a sunken old bath someone gave me and the pvc piping from the plughole goes to some happy tomatoes outside it. I just love spending time in there, sitting on the raised beds and looking at my timid ducks and planning more things to plant. It happens to have the best view of my property and is a very peaceful place watching the mountains and valley around. When the roses grow I will post some photos. |

Thanks all-
Tom-Perfume is soft and sweet. I don't have Frau Karl Druski but she has always been on my list.
MistyMorn and Greencroc-thanks-she looks lovely at all stages,one of those roses that melts my heart.
Mary-thanks-if My pics get even half as glorious as yours I will be happy.
Kevarose-I have many more glorious climbers-can I show you some pics??????? *grin*
Will post some more pics very soon.

Rambling beast
| | |
Kevarose,
I look forward to see some pics of your climbing guardians! As for Rambling Rector, I'm also looking forward to it. It seems here in WA it's almost impossible to find. I have a 5m tall and 9m wide wall behind my shed and spa (area is tight, lower 2m in semi shade, but with lots of space to climb!), and would like to cover it with some rambling beast.
I'll give my best to find Rambling Rector, but if not, maybe Seagull or Wedding Day, which are available, will do the job.. maybe even together.
Your opinions, ladies and gentlemen?

| Sparaxis, I went and bought Seagull. And today, yes, a packet of marshmallows too. Can't imagine Xmas without roses and marshmallows anyway... - Tom |
