Re: English Garden -Reply

My vote for yellow is Graham because of non-stop,
or Pilgrim (yellow, lighter toward the center), or as
Carleen said earlier, Happy Child is a beautiful
clear bright yellow.  Can't comment too much on the
growth habit and bloom rate; mine is a baby still.

It's not an old rose (nearly sacriledge in my garden),
but Golden Showers is a very short climber (about
7-8' in my garden) that is a semi-double bright
yellow, little fragrance, non-stop bloom, fabulous
orange hips if left alone, and in my PNW garden it
was still blooming here until we had snow about a
week ago.  It never stops and tolerates shade.

Another very, very sweet yellow is Celine
Forrestier.  Yellow, paler toward the center,
wonderful fragrance, tiny 2 inch flowers packed with
petals, a climber to about 15' (mine's not that big
yet).  It is very darling in flower.  Can be obtained
through Antique Rose Emporium.

For mine is just a little old-fashioned garden where
the flowers come together to praise the Lord and
teach all who look upon them to do likewise.

Any one grown this one?  It is a David Austin one. 
It is supposed to be 
a yellow blend and in fact I saw one in bloom that
was apricot in bud and 
yellow buff in bloom.  I bought one from Wayside
and it bloomed apricot 
in bud but apricot pink in bloom.  No yellow.  The
blooms looked similar 
in terms of form and number of petals, etc.  Just the
color was 
different.  I am assuming this is a difference in
growing conditions 
having some effect on the color, but I really wanted
the yellow.

Any suggestions?
