Just because..

What can I say, its winter and I'm having withdrawal symptoms from not being in the garden.
So I am looking at some of my many pictures taken this year and thought it would be good to share a picture or two.

First up is Archangel, a rolls royce of a Aurea hybrid

Secondly, this is Whitney sent over to me by my good friend Alvin last summer as a bare cutting. It rooted so easily and what a surprise she turned out to be,  flamboyant and highly scented with a spicy marzipan tone. 

Next is Grand Marnier, an old classic and still one of the most reliable and fragrant of singles. This picture was taken round my good friend Terry's garden. Much to my envy he grows them big and blooming .
