I am convinced the Ancient mariner will be flourishing.
I’ve counted 11 buds on it, and took this picture with my phone today:
This is a cluster of four buds, one is well on its way and a second not far behind.
The experts description says it has large showy pink blooms, and they’re not wrong!
All the above from June 2018.
This one from June 2019, which was a disastrous year for all of our roses and home produce as we’d tried to grow everything in pots, and the weather was either scorching hot or pouring with rain!
I’ve also counted 3 buds on our red In Loving Memory. Nothing to photo there yet, so this is last year
It is beautiful. Can’t wait for photo updates.
They’ll be here
Lovely.
It will be glorious

That’s such a stunning rose.
They all have large blooms, but this one just gets better and better.
I hope you get some delightful flowers on your rose bushes. Maybe this will be a year to make up for last year! (there has to be a silver lining – somewhere!)
so far, so good
Oh I’d like to see this in bloom
You will………….. watch this space!!
Nice flowers and I am sure the bees love them! Get lots of honey from those big blooms!
it’s great the bees and birds are finally coming into the garden
