If you have an old stone wall - Lady Hillingdon Climber
| | |
Posted by MarySA (My Page) on Mon, Dec 19, 05 at 8:05
We have a very old home with sandstone walls and on either side of our bedroom window I have planted Cl. Lady Hillingdon.
It is a wonderfully elegant rose - so prolific and since it has nodding heads looks gorgeous looking down at you :)

Climbing Lady Hillingdon is one responsible for yellow colour in David Austin's roses of today. I'm glad that you have it and like it, Mary.

| The colour just matches the colour of the sandstone so well, beautiful and no thorns in sight. Mary, what is she climbing, hanging on to grow up like that ? Marion |

| Glad you like it :) I should have mentioned that it is a tea rose. Comes also in the bush form. Marion, we string wires on toggle bolts at inervals up the wall- hardly see them and tie the canes on the outside of these. Cheers, Mary |

| What a beauty! I'm struggling to find the best position for my LH which has outgrown her 40cm pot...it really is an excellent focal or specimen plant. Lovely pic...thanks varmi |

Anyone had any experience of this rose - the only 2 miniatures I ever planted never got to flower; the possums got every single lovely yummy new bud.

| And of course, what complements the colour of the blooms, is the plum coloured stems. A really lovely Tea. Perhaps a little devoid of foliage as a climber? Good colour. |
