Help me ID my David Austin Rose
Comments (3)Thanks you so much. I suspect you are right as I remembered it having an unusual name. I will try and find one if not now, a bit late probably, then next year. It broke my heart to see the empty space where it had been...See MoreNeed help deciding finalists for David Austin rose beds
Comments (24)Thank you to all the kind respondents to this thread! After quite the ordeal, and several changes of heart and mind, I have finalized my rose list and placed my orders. I ended up ordering more than I originally planned, since I had to remove ALL my roses in front of my house due to rose rosette disease. I will be starting fresh, replacing the soil completely. The finalists, for those who care or may be interested, are ... From Rogue Valley Roses:- Zephirine Drouhin (replacing my beloved) Kathleen Harrop (how could I resist Zephy's sport?) Duchesse de Rohan (Tolkien fan here) Snowbird Yesterday (my free rose) From Heirloom Roses: Braveheart (thanks for the suggestion, Kate!)
