The oldest and the youngest Roses

This is the oldest Rose in the garden . it was here when we came here in 1973 .I spoke to the previous owner of the house and he told me that it had always been in the garden  he was born about 1920 so it must be over 100 years old. When I took cuttings it had a huge trunk but was very week and spindly . It only flowers once but has the most beautiful scent that reminds me of Turkish Delight 

 This is the youngest Rose called Crème de la Crème it is a climber for the arch coming into the garden .I bought it for its extra strong perfume .They are sitting in their pots waiting to be planted but already the are full of beautiful blooms
