Hello my long lost rose friends :)
I've been "out of commission" for a while, personal issues and the financial crash have made shopping for roses a distant dream. However .... things are looking up and I'm thinking about ordering some roses ...
Now rose experts, I need your advice.
I would like a red moss rose and have three choices: Captaine John Ingram, Nuits de Young and Black Boy. Judging from photos on the internet it's hard to see which is the best. Peter Beales mentions the first two in his Passion for Roses, but Black Boy is a more recent addition so doesn't quite qualify as an antique. I've read excellent reviews on that one though. So what do you say - which is the prettiest .... and hardiest of the three?
