Good Morning Tuesday 23rd April St Georges Day

Celebrating St George's Day on board ship!

Ah. I will look it up thank you Grandmabatty. That said I’d love the rose to be heavily scented too. I like to inhale deeply and drown in the pleasure of it!

Well, I have two yellow roses. Both climbing though. The Pilgrim which has a soft myrrh fragrance - but to my mind is absolutely beautiful in form.

The other is Teasing Georgia - which has a strong tea rose fragrance.

If you w ant a rose for a container and yellow - a good one is Bring Me Sunshine which has a strong myrrh fragrance, but it will need a biiiiig pot as it is a nig shrub.

The Poets Wife has a fruity smell and is smaller 3x3’

Golden Celebration (which I have) has a really huge bloom which is lovely but does tend to mean the heads droop somewhat and really is too big for a container, but you could give it a go if you really fancy it.

You can of course use a climber to up and over your door if you can get suitable support and pot in place. - then plant around the base with bulbs or maybe something that will be in flower on your anniversary.

Saying all that rose fragrance is different - my absolute favourite is one you hardly ever see now which is Constance Spry with a really heavy myrrh fragrance. It is pink though and only flowers once in June/July - but has such an abundance of beautiful flowers that are quite breathtaking. I so love it and revel in it

I’ll try and post some photos.

The Pilgrim and Constance Spry

Urmstongran I just asked my friend who I think Hasan amazing rose garden, she suggested this, not sure of your husband is a poet though!

I love “canary bird”, which flowers about now.

Oops, it’s name is The Poets Wife.

Oh thank you you lovely kind folk. I’m going to Google all of these and take my time choosing. This (hopefully) will be a very special wedding anniversary for us, especially now - for reasons you’ll appreciate.

I honestly wouldn’t have known where to start without your wonderful suggestions as I don’t have green fingers!

Himself a poet? 🤣 yes but he doesn’t ’know it’ 🤣🤣

My wedding bouquet contained yellow roses too you see. My lovely dad is with me here. He died three years after this photo was taken, sadly. Too young.

Also today, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Prince Louis.

Such a lovely photo Urms. I also had yellow roses on my wedding day. It's MrHats' favourite colour! Take care of yourselves

Every year some people who think they are clever post stuff like “St George wasn’t English”, he didn’t kill a dragon, “ etc etc.
They obviously think only they are privy to this “news”. Makes me laugh every year and wonder why they do it!

Let’s celebrate our great country. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Made in-house and 😋 delicious.

Sailing into Malta.

Good morning it’s Wednesday 24 April wheres Michael today?
I heard the dawn chorus here on the east coast of Fife.

The weathers definitely getting warmer. That’s the weeds pulled out yesterday and I had a visit from a private carer who wants to be my PA. I’m not too sure if I like her but I’ll give her a chance ( she’s a bit bossy )

I can use my self directive payments to buy 6 hrs a week, then I’ll get out routinely I’ll be giving my present provider a weeks notice they’re not always on time they’ve been very unpredictable these last few weeks.

Have a good day my friends

Bonny, you are on the wrong thread. X
