Had to post this pic.  Took it this morning just before it opened out completely.  Rosa"Rhapsody in blue", smells fantastic and has got loads of buds.  Sorry about photo quality, but as some of you know, new at this photo posting thing, have been advised to wear a crash helmet at all times whilst using computer.......! Lottie

  ;D Very nice  ;D  practice makes perfect isn't that what they say  ??? ;D

what a stunning rose

You're too kind! Will keep practicisg, could be a rush of photos anytime soon! Helmet wobbling a bit...!  Lottie  :o ;D

 ;D ;D ;D Go for it  ;D ;D ;D

Right!! Will then!! Visor down, open throttle and......my bi-coloured foxglove!! Or are they supposed to be like that??
Lottie  ;D

Perhaps I'm best previewing first......... Lottie

 ;D Keep your Visor up next time  ??? ;D ;D ;D Fox Gloves do come in all sorts of colours as the flowers open they change colour  ;D beautiful example though even if I am standing on my head ;D ;D ;D

Sorry Marley Farley!! Thought I'd rotated it, but obviously not!!! Will have lie down and try again later!! Lottie

 ;D ;D Love it !!!  ;D ;D ;D

The rose is gorgeous and that's a really pretty Foxglove, too.

I've just had the first 3 blooms open on my 'Just Joey' roses. I've got two of them, but I had to move one earlier in the year which I thought might have put it on hold for a while. Never moved a rose bush before but I must have done it right, because it's in flower ;D

Nothing like a rose!! Especially smelly ones.  I always feel let down wnen I go to smell a rose and there's no perfume!! Lottie

Lottie, what beautiful roses !  Foxgloves are pretty too ! Although my head is spinning a little now !  ;) ;D :P

Sorry, Marianne!! Still nre at this, my visor slipped!!! Or is it you after a birthday tipple!!

Oh I do agree about the scent of roses, Lottie. If I see roses, I automatically lean over and smell them, and it's such a shame when they don't smell of anything much :'(

I've got a lovely rose bush that has the most amazing scent, but I have no idea what it's called. It produces dozens of blooms every year, and they aren't much to look at but they smell wonderful ;D

  :) I have a lovely old Rose in my garden called elizabeth arden & it has the most gogeous scent & the most fabulous pink blooms ;D ;D not in bloom yet will post a pic when it is  ;D pity you won't be able to smell it though  ??? :)

Well, if you need any advice on pic posting, Marley, let me know........!! Lottie
;D ;D ;D ;D

 ;D ;D ;D  Ok will do Lottie  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Think OH has hidden camera.......... Lottie !!

 ;D ;D ;D Lottie !

Kept tipples down on my birthday as I had work to do in the garden.  Was given a pretty climber of some sort which I have to plant somewhere, when I know if it is a sun lover or not ??
