I've heard of 'Rachael' they are lovely 'girlie' roses Louise. Is it going to be a good year for roses? Mine are off to a slow start but I did cut them back a lot due to frost dammage. No shortage of water at the moment.

Guinee is said to be the darkest, almost black, of climbing red roses. It is beautiful and lovely in conjunction with clematis.

I must admit, Tickled Pink is a bit deeper in colour but the form concurs....

Is this rose 'Guinee'? I think my question got overlooked.  Please will Grindle (and other members who might know) look at this photo and tell me if you think it is 'Guinee'? Thanks. |

They are all lovely Esther. Have a look at the Graham Thomas pictures, because I think the top left hand corner pic looks very similar in the same egg yolk yellow. It is funny how they vary slightly.
