Yes. Go for it

Yes, I have DdB in a fairly tight spot and it works. Perle d'Or can get big, but it can be kept to a decent size, i think 13 feet is more than enough for both.

Yes, in my garden both of them are fairly vertical growers, and I think they would be fine in that much horizontal space.

Yes. Neither is a "pushy" rose.

ΟΚ I will plant tomorrow and hope for the best. Thanks!

I planted them allright. I had them in pots for a couple of years so they were quite developed. They have grown mostly in width rather than in height so they already touch each other as planted. I don't mind them mingling a bit but I do hope they gain in height now that they're planted in the ground.

They look good, Nik. I have the bush form of DdB which spread at first, then grew taller. I keep it trimmed over an arch and it has grown happily this way for years and is not overly vigorous. As Rosefolly commented, Perle d'Or can be trimmed also. Sorry to go OT, but what is the red rose in the top pic?

Thanks Ozmelo

The red rose is in a pot and is one of Poulsen's 'Palace' series of patio cum mini floribunda roses. Bullet proof, blooms profusely for 12 months here if you keep it deadheaded (otherwise it makes hips), the healthiest small dark green leaves I've seen on a rose, short internodal length, bushy and round. Its only disadvantage is that there's only the faintest of scents and this in a good day. And it's thorny if that matters in a small compact rose like this. I highly recommend all the 'Palace' series for patio / pot roses. Could work in place of those horrible how do you call them in mass plantings too.

Prince Palace

I agree about the Poulsen roses. I have several and they do flower continuously here also. They are sold here through general and hardware stores, but unfortunately they are never named. Same goes for the Parade series. Have gone to the Poulsen site, but not really helpful.

Quite randomly, I saw some of these at my local tiny, independent, old fashioned greengrocers the other week, and when I googled found not a lot about them. And then today, an encomium. Very serendipitous, I might pick up some of these for the tiny strip of front garden, where I want something small, attractive and low maintenance that I'm not too attached to if the local cats sit on them or something.

Yes, the Danes seem not to have mastered the internet yet..

Here you can see all the 'Palace' roses, coded Poulxxx (along with some strays)

HMF Palace roses

Thanks ,Nik! So far it appears I have Queen Margrethe, Alto Palace and Romantic Palace. A couple I got last year don't seem to be there, but they may be Parades.
