Tineke is one rose I want - my friend used some of the baby baby buds of this in the bride's bouquet last weekend but the flowers were smaller than this and the buds were like baby's breath - maybe it is a different rose and I am confusing the name.

No she is a full sized bud unopened at least a good inch long and really FAT with lots of petals, no smell but a great show rose Pamela even half open you press the bloom between your fingers and it is solid, I hop e I am making sense, but a great rose for the bride to be

I will get a few of these as it will be good for the weddings here

Very nice Cheryl.. them all..

and I think you already have Champagner, they are great for the hair and buttons for the men esp. if the bride in old fashioned lace Will take a pic with the ruler for you at diff stages and post for you A few unopened bubs still to come

Thanks MA

Beautiful.

My champagner and my 4 Ivory Fashion died - bad spot in hot hot sun and no water nearby to hose them with and surrounded by kikiyu and so I dug them all up in mid summer in 40 degree heat and forgot about them for 2 weeks as they sat in water and then tried to replant ... disaster all round,

Must get some more ... and care for them this time.

I have been spoilt by the scabrosas who can take all this.

So delicious as usual ,your rose pics look as if they come out of a garden magazine.

Beautiful as always, Cheryl. The night time photos are very effective and you've done a great job

Thanks everyone
