Händel Rose Making Music8 Jun '06 11:25 pm
Well the other rose in my garden Is the this one. This is the first flower, and is atypical in it's apearance. I wonder if the weather has played a role. At any rate it is still lovely to my eyes...and has a faint fragrance. There are several buds, so perhapsthe coming ones will look more like it's supposed to.

The Händel Rose is beginning to get more and more buds and flowers...and the flowers are beginning to look a bit more normal now.

Hi Goose ,
Wairere nursery near Hamilton has 'Handel' .They have it as a climber as well ,recommend it for along a fence .It is disease resistant and repeat flowering .They have a great website with plenty of advice ,and an excellent mail - order service ,though I think their place is worth a visit!
Dixie.

I have checked out the Wairere nursery website for mail order. Their gardens look lovely,I must pay them a visit when Im down that way sometime.
They have the Westerland and Handel.
So I have ordered Handel and will order Westerland later.
Thanks ever so much

Handel16 Jun '06 7:47 pm
Yes I think that 'Handel' deserves the honour of being on the fence that joins onto the stone wall in the front garden. I can think of no better place. I hope she will be happy there. pix will follow once planted.
It was your last pix that did it. I think she is just beautiful and your photos are just something else.
