      Thanks, Karen. I like the Alnwick Rose & CPM too. But I feel the colour of Alnwick Rose is little lighter compare to the picture of DA website. Perhaps the climate is different.

      Thanks, rosecanadian, Pink Peace is really surprise me. The smell is strong and the flower is huge. The size of the flower is pretty much same as the peonies blooming. GC is the third year in my yard. the flowers are the biggest compare to last two years.

      DandyLioness. I have planted LDB for 2 years. The height is around 3' to 4', width is around 3'. The stem is quite stronger than most other DA roses.
