The first mystery rose is a David Austin and it might be Jude the Obscure, but I don't think it is. I have the rose catalogue somewhere that I occasionally flick through and if I spot it, I'll let you know. I believe your mystery yellow rose is a Graham Thomas. You timed your UK trip perfectly with (eventual) arrival of the UK summer. I hope you had a really enjoyable holiday and wedding party.Sunil Patelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17998062749546109287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289863235108169853.post-15970384318424559812013-07-09T06:07:18.645-04:002013-07-09T06:07:18.645-04:00I have friends around Europe and an italian one li...I have friends around Europe and an italian one living in China and it's always a great pleasure when we manage to get together again, those people scattered so far from each other around the World but you know they always think of you and you think of them.<br />I really enjoyed your post and the pictures are beautiful, I'm rather taken with that purple cotinus and pink rose together.
