..For future reference, in case anyone does a search for these, the most recent David Austin roses for 2015 in UK, and would like to see how they look as young potted roses, I've included some photos below... foliage wise they look quite similar, in fact I would hardly know the difference at a glance.... the usual amount of thorns/prickles... TAM perhaps has a few more, but neither appear excessive... at this stage...

.... they are both planted out in part sun/light shade in good soil....

...the main thing for me here is how they stand up to wet weather... so I hope to post some more photos in the near future...

...the other release 'Sir Walter Scott' is not for me right now, but I notice it appeared to be sold out before the other two, so likely perhaps to be the more popular rose over the course of time...
