From Cilla’s garden came Pacific dream, Kimono, Pierre de Ronsard, and Burgandy ice. Joy’s selection was L' aimant, Desdemona, and Jardin d Granville.  Helen had blooms of J de G, Papa Mielland, Gruss van Archan.  Martin’s four lovely roses came from his new garden, and he is looking for identification, inspiration and new ideas?
