I bought these two on impulse at Melvilles and now need to decide where to put them. How much space will they need? Some of my other old tea roses are huge!
Lisa, Rosette Delizy is a rose I bought because she has an upright form (rather than wide and sprawling). She has only been in for about six months and so I can't really give you any other information - but her flowers are lovely - in muddled shades of pink, yellow and apricot
Octavus Weld is one of my all-time favourites. After 4 years it is about 2m high and nearly a metre wide. I prune it by about half in autumn and it blooms from August on.
I have Rosette Delizy. It’s grown easily to 3m by 5m. until my gardener pruned it yesterday, and now it looks awful. made me cry when I saw it. still cry just thinking about it
