I've no idea what either are, but this scented orange one was first to open, followed by the unscented by prolific pink flowering one. For some reason this year the pink one is mottled which it hasn't been before. We've been here 8 years.
My Claire Austen is just about to open which I am very excited about. We only planted it last autumn.

sounds like they need a good feed.

@bloodredfeaturewall oh is that what causes this? I will feed them later with some seaweed feed, hope that will be ok?

Strawberry Hill was first then a couple of days later it was Princess Anne. Then it was Olivia Rose Austin and Desdemona.

A friend had a big hedge of it at the front of her house, and you would see people stopping in their tracks at the scent (though I think she had a Madame Alfred Carriére mixed in). I took cuttings but they didn’t work, so I bought some of my own. They’re doing well in their second season.

Sounds lovely

Both those two are new. The yellow one is exactly what I was hoping for. The purple one I thought would be more burgundy, but that's OK. Maybe it'll change as the weather warms up.

St Ethelburga has bloomed now. My favourite because of the scent

The first bloom of my Twilight Zone was purple but the second one is more burgundy which is what I was hoping for when I ordered it

My granddaughter (rose called Imogen) bloomed first, but suffered a bit in the high winds). (Creamy yellow colour)

I've just taken delivery of her mum (Laura's rose) which has a bud formed. Should be a nice apricot colour.

Heading to the garden centre tomorrow to get a matching pot for mother and daughter 😊

Lovely. I'm looking for an apricot rose myself as I've got space for one more. The 4 I already have I've posted above
