By the way, the Osteospermum from this vase are still looking hale and hearty. I find that if kept on the bright side of the room (in sunny weather!) they stay open and last very well. Thanks so much, Kris :)Amy@SmallSunnyGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490564566463354419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315847063483821430.post-48157010672136628412015-04-29T13:29:28.126-07:002015-04-29T13:29:28.126-07:00I'm liking the vase better now it has flowers ...I'm liking the vase better now it has flowers in it, Angie - surely a good sign. I know what you mean about being brutal though I don't have a good record on it! My issue here is not with space but with how much water I feel I can expend. I must add that some of the David Austin roses have a much narrower habit; I've squeezed The Alnwick Rose into a front corner... ;-)Amy@SmallSunnyGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490564566463354419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315847063483821430.post-6438905843500752602015-04-29T12:18:37.675-07:002015-04-29T12:18:37.675-07:00It's a beautiful rose, Amy - you've made g...It's a beautiful rose, Amy - you've made great choices for your garden. I know what you mean about certain flowers not performing well in vases - my pretty Arctotis are a case in point.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315847063483821430.post-75618136891863099942015-04-29T11:41:57.158-07:002015-04-29T11:41:57.158-07:00I can't believe you don't like that wee va...I can't believe you don't like that wee vase Amy, I think it is very pretty and the way you have dressed it makes it even more pretty. I almost picked that rose up today - I popped into the GC for some compost and couldn't resist having a wee look around. The roses looked so lush and healthy but I had to be brutal and tell myself I really didn't have enough room for any more! It will however stay on my wish list should any of last year's new ones not impress me.Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14682908724307784154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315847063483821430.post-30559146838886945252015-04-28T17:40:17.857-07:002015-04-28T17:40:17.857-07:00Isn't it...

I'm liking the growth habit as well as the flowers; the whole effect is "refined cottagey" if that makes sense! Flower colours actually seem to range from cream to pale apricot to primrose yellow - I've had all three on the bush already!Amy@SmallSunnyGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490564566463354419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315847063483821430.post-8414897904099015662015-04-28T17:37:05.033-07:002015-04-28T17:37:05.033-07:00Yes, it's from David Austin - 2011, if I remem...Yes, it's from David Austin - 2011, if I remember rightly... So far I'm very pleased - everything about the plant is good!

I think you are right about the pot - that is a great shape for the roses to drape over (and the colour works perfectly too).Julie@peoniesandposies.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11801057363695252681noreply@blogger.com
