Drought in Europe

[story]

Yeah, I have something of a rose fetish but have generally always gone for the simple single wildlings rather than hybrid teas and floribundas. They all bloom in a 2month window then I get heps and haws for winter. My magnolias couldn't cope with the dry soil sadly. I agree that scented roses are lovely and have an especially joy for those with scented foliage - eglantines and r.primula which smells of incense

Ooh! Those sound heavenly.
