Pink floribunda - planted Sept 2021

This was uncle Michael's wedding gift and is so prolific that it moves the drain pipes every summer. Sometimes even the tiles above 😄

I will have to see if he remembers the name of the rose 🤞. It had no special treatment apart from vicious cutting every time it gets on the roof and "banana water" every now and then.

Zephirine Drouhin - planted spring 2013

This was a (Valentine's?) gift from James and it lead a very boring, fruitless (or floweless?) and deflated life for years. Then le jardinier gave it a massive haircut, so much so I believed it was gone and I said my goodbyes. Oh my... Look at all the fragrant pink beauties it has come up with this year 👏

Lemon Spice- planted August 2014 

Abundance of flowers during spring and summer, fantastic lemon fragrance. Last year had a good pruning and now we're rewarded with dozens of flowers.
