Comments (7)hydrangea89, you probably don't realize that you have posted this in the Gallery (photos) section of the Antique Roses Forum. You have a much better chance of getting answers if you repost it to the Discussions section. Just click on Discussions at the beginning of these posts. Unfortunately, not many remember that the Gallery is here - except for us who are greedy for eye-candy. Sherry...See MorePink David Austin Climber--Advice ASAP?
Comments (3)My Scepter'd Isle grows tall and arches over at about 6', so maybe it would work as a climber. It's one of the healthiest and prettiest I think, and reblooms better than many. It has done well through the harsh winters of the last two years. I also grow Brother Cadfael and to me Scepter'd Isle is prettier....See MoreSprit of Freedom rose
Comments (86)Oh my goodness, Helen! I do believe this is it! Having searched even more images online, the shape and flowers look identical, as do the buds, and the scent sounds much more like what I remember. I am SO grateful, thank you!! Strangely I had never come across TIMF in any searches, including on the DA website, but then their images don't especially resemble the way they look on my neighbour's plant. Well, I am going to order one of these as soon as I'm back in London and ready to plant. Once it's established I'll confirm once and for all if you were right, but I can't see how it could be anything else. Thank you! And Sheila, I see you're in the Rogue Valley — so am I! What an amazing coincidence. Happy gardening to you all and thank you again Helen, you may never know just how happy you've made me....See MoreDavid Austin Rose Arch (Zone 7a Suggestions
Comments (13)@Sarena Altman My Spirit of Freedom normally last a week or so on the bush.... it would probably be longer but I get a lot of heavy wind... that being said it probably does better than most.. especially of my DA's. The only time that my SOF was actually lavender was one time when I made a cutting and put in a vase. The next morning it seemed to be lavender.... I did a double take and wondered what rose was that.... When I was outside the rose sure enough was pink... but... I do NOT get lavender roses every time I cut.... I have seen pictures from other's where it appears lavender.... I was just giving a warning in case you have something against lavender.... but I don't know when or why it turns.... I actually like it.... but I like it both ways... and it smells great. I sent a text to SoFl to see if she could post her picture.... I haven't heard from her lately... She doesn't post much any more. If she post it I will put a link here....See Moremendocino_rose
