Saw these roses while out on the job today....absolutely amazing! The house was for sale, so I phoned the agent to see if there was any way possible to get some cuttings. They phoned the owner who said just come on over! I did, and now am hopefully going to have these roses too. Cuttings all potted and now we wait.....anybody want one if they go nuts?

They look very healthy!  :)

I choose roses for their scent. How did they smell?  :)

These have a lovely soft scent. The woman who had them told me that her late father-in-law spent years creating them. So, one of a kind at the moment.

Like the finest, softest rose perfume. Not heavy rose scent but divine nonetheless.

Oh, wow, would LOVE a cutting of those. Probably not practical, but if you get over-run....  ;D

I would, those are amazing. Could I keep them potted until I get a house do you think?
The usual. American girl meets British guy. They fall into like, then into love. Then there was the big decision. The American traveled across the pond to join the Brit. And life was never the same again.

Nan and lyonaria, if they do well I will make sure you both get one. Yes they will do fine in a pot for quite a long time. So fingers crossed!

I'd love some if you get them going.  I can easily come get them too.  :)
