            Stunning climbing rose

            I am a complete amateur when it comes to gardening, but wanted to brighten the front of my plain looking house. It’s north west facing and I did some research and we decided on this climbing rose. We planted it 2years ago in July, and I followed the tutorial videos on planting and training a climbing rose on the David Austen website. I don’t ever write reviews usually but I just wanted to show how beautiful it’s become, and what a difference it can make to a bare wall. It really does bring me joy every time I look out of our bay window now. It also repeatedly flowers for such a long time (end of May-October). You can’t go wrong with this gorgeous rose (because even I’ve managed to do this!).

            Generous indeed!

            This work horse of a rose started flowering in May this year and I have no doubt will continue to put out roses until autumn, 3rd year pictured 2 roses beside a bench, heavenly scent on a sunny day , the roses don't last long but that's forgiven when there is such an abundance and the lovely petals.

            I have planted two either side if a new agriframes arch in poor clay soil which I improved with conpost. Its two soon to remark in the blooms but bith plants are thriving and healthy. I cant wait to experince the first flowers! I think these are the tenth type of David Austin roses I’ve putchased and they all do very well in my Shropshire cotage garden. Addicted.
