But I'm glad to report our roses are starting to bloom. This one is (if I remember correctly) a Ferdinand Pichard; it's a lovely looking 'striped' rose with a superb scent. It's very similar to the old Rosa Mundi, which is one of my favourites. Last year this one gave us one rose and a massive sucker from the rootstock. I've just had to cut off two more suckers, but it's full of buds, so I think it'll do better this year. Most of the others are in bud. Hopefully I'll photograph some more of them later. In the meantime- Goodnight all.

What a stunning flower! It's so silky it looks like it could almost be a camellia.
