--- Quote from: Lyn and Malcolm on May 30, 2009, 11:16:23 PM ---Ours is about 4 years old, and only 5 foot tall at the moment, have been taking pics of the buds and flowers today, a really lovely rose, just hope it don't get too big, otherwise it will have to be out. It is labeled moyesii Geranium

According to the bible the R. moseyii "geranium" has a more compact habit so you may be lucky Malcolm. The one we have is just too vigorous for words. Every year we cut large lumps out (a prickly business) and the base is a solid lump of wood almost a foot across.

--- Quote ---The second snap is Cantabrigiensis another lovely rose, about 7 foot tall at the moment

Cantabrigiensis is more manageable and is a great favourite of ours.

Any in those singles to fit the bill?

I would say all these roses have plenty of foliage and don't suffer from overly long stems

Here are some more I took at about 7 am this morning George.







This last one I have posted so that you can see the scale of the rose. The little bit of building you can see is the eaves of the roof over the first floor. This variety would certainly not suit Malcolm.

NightHawk:
Great photos Eric.

You're obviously a keen rose man.

Laurie.

ideasguy:
Thanks Eric. They are perfect!
