    Creasing up here!!!!!! :D :D I don't know the name of that rose I'm afraid. :-? I got it from a 'rescue and love' bench of a garden centre and it looked almost dead. All I know is that it's a climber, it's beautiful and it flowers profusely sorry. :(

    And you guys are trying to tell me you don't have a rose addition! Consider the evidence, the very topic started to help those with a rose addiction turns into extreme rose banter (not pointing any fingers Eileen and Denee :D)

    Right now I am banning the word 'rose' from this thread in the hope that not hearing it will help. From now on that word will be replaced by the words 'my weakness'.

    Ahem. (listen to this for an excuse folks) ...... Didn't I tell you Frank that I have a peculiar and debilitating disease called Word Blindness? I can't get my fingers to obey my brain when it comes to certain words at all. Sad innit? ;) But because you are our beloved leader I will endeavour to obey your wishes as best I can. :p


    OK here goes:

    I've had a look at the Iceberg rose and it looks identical to mine. You know for the first time I wandered around the garden today and actually counted the roses I have. I was amazed to find that I have 12!!! :-D

    I am a rose addict. I am a rose addict.

    I AM A FULLY FLEDGED, OFFICIAL ROSE ADDICT!!!!!

    Sorry Frank :oops: Here have a rose as a peace offering. :setc_088: :D :D

    When I saw your Iceberg beauty I just feel in love with it! I love that pic you have of your beauty. The white beauty against the dark glossy green leaves is just wonderful!


    I LOVE MY BEAUTIES!!! :D

    We only have 19 roses. Because we want them not because we had to have them. All but two were here when we moved here. Those two are the only two that have names. Dooley

    OK, I admit, I do have a slight problem, maybe bordering on addiction.

    And a Pink Peace. There was two blooms on this one, but I have pruned them back because its sickly and it needs babying. I can tell you, the blooms smelled like heaven!
