Souvenir de la Malmaison

Hi Taddy and Ian and all,

Those two pics definitly are something completely different :)
Taddy, I wonder what your rose is. It is a beauty anyway. . .

Hi Taddy,
Your rose is very nice and I wouldn't mind one myself but I think you ought to have a quiet word with your supplier..........;)

Hi all,

yes, both photos are nice. The flower of taddy's rose reminds me somewhat of 'Cupid'.

I took last weekend.

I'll have to stop doing that, in moving branches of Wedding Day to take the pic I was attacked by thorns and nearly fell off the ladder. The things you have to do keep the threads going......!!

@ Hannes:
Beautiful!

@ Ian:
dont fall off, for heavens sake! (I think, this is the difficulty with having them beauties all above your head. . . ;) )

The flower, although not Souvenir de la Malmaison, is nice but the plant is terrible!!!!! the kind I hate: definitly a lot of Tea in it, with huge stems/poles growing strongly like a tree, with large thorns.
In a few words a thorny rose tree!!

And I have two of them one supposed to be Souvenir de la Malmaison and the other I don't even remember what.......

Ian,
If Mohammed will not go to the mountain, the mountain must come to Mohammed ....... prune them just a little lower!
For your sake

Souvenir du Dr Jamain is a stunning rose, very fragrant and repeat flowering, we have a lovely one growing up the side of our offices here. If people ask for a red, climbing, scented rose that is generally the direction we send them but it must be kept out of hard sunlight or the blooms will scorch on the plant.
