Loved it you two, nice coverage of a few of the different classes of roses as well and comfrey, GMO and other chat!

I don't grow many hybrid teas as I prefer the cluster blooms of the floribunda roses as opposed to one bloom per stem as is usual for hybrid teas. But not all hybrid teas are single stem blooms. One of my absolute favorite roses I grow, (a gift from Zuzu) is Rose (Rosa 'Helen Hayes')
It grows tall and lanky, more so as I have it planted in half day shade but the blooms are glorious! So many shades of pink, yellow and apricot and they are huge and I always describe them as blousey, whatever that means. Hilarious!



Here is my shot showing how it has a cluster grouping and one from Zuzu:



And for those who listened to the end, you will understand. Green Grin!
