Morning All and Hello,

I just popped in because I couldn't resist showing off my newest bloom!

This is Rosa Moyesii Geranium, its a fairly large shrub rose, very thorny, disease resistant and shade tolerant. It is an improved version of the Chinese Mountain wild rose. I'm told it will reach between 10 and 18 feet eventually and it can be trained as a climber. In the autumn it produces huge bottle shaped hips.

Last year it only had one flower , but this year its covered so it will be interesting to see what happens later in the year. Hope you like it!
