        It’s very hard to choose just one, but I do love Harlow Carr for its masses of buds which turn into such pretty flowers, and if I can sneak in a second, it’s Tottering by Gently, because it is so light and airy and the flowers almost resemble butterflies in the breeze. Could go on and list many more….!

          My Harlow Carr Rose - I walk passed and have an addictive smell of the beautiful old rose scent.

          I love my rose. So beautiful with lots of roses in bloom and such a gentle fragrance of old rose that reminds me of my childhood. I am very fond of it and my friends love the scent too. I hope it will give me joy for many years to come in it's pot.

          Disappointing

          Harlow Carr was my first DA rose. Brought as it was suitable for a pot however it has not done well at all. This year is its last chance but it’s looking very pathetic again and I’ve just chopped it back ☹️
          Gabriel Oak is doing great in a similar pot as are Gertrude and Emily who are both planted

          Beautiful fragrant rose. It’s my second year of having this one and unfortunately it doesn’t seem to like being in a pot (albeit a big one) this year.

          Amazing scent!

          I love roses and have many varieties in my garden, but this one is my absolute favourite. The scent is stunning and in the evening the garden fills with the perfume from this rose. It also doesn’t mind being hacked back - it just gets better the next year. It also, so far, has not succumbed to the dreaded blackspot!
