Honest.
I've wanted to for a long time, but I've resisted.
You all said it would be good ...
But I wasn't ready. Until now.
My very first David Austin rose.
Her name is Sister Elizabeth.
She's doing well and flowering.

I think the second time will be easier.
Sister Elizabeth looks lovely. Your first time growing roses? Nah, can't believe that. Your first time growing a rose in a pot?
ReplyDeleteInteresting, I was just thinking roses myself this week. How was dealing with David Austin?
Years ago we inherited my father-in-law's rose collectin of about 150 roses - in terrible, neglected shape. I immediately pulled up all but about 25 and tried to save them. All hybrids with no scent and nothing interesting about them.
DeleteI swore 'never again'. The DA is an 'old fashioned rose with fragrance and a bushy growth habit. Very different. So you are partly right - not my first roses. Ut the first of this type, and the first in a pot. Now, that should be interesting....
Webb, Sister is lovely. I have yet to try a David Austin. They are lovely, but I have so little sun. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteNice work! Isn't so cool when we can actually get something to grow as beautiful as a rose?
