The Freddie Mercury Rose (again)

[swordznsorcery]

After a nice warm summer, and a fair bit of recent rain, Freddie is really starting to show off! When there are several flowers of differing age, there's a lovely mixed colour effect, which is quite striking.



Also, all those flowers make him smell very nice indeed! ;)

Where did you get it from? I want one! Maybe next year!

I found it on eBay. Quite a few garden centres trade on there. If you have a local plant place, they may be able to order you one. I know that the original breeder doesn't do them anymore, but I guess some people must. The Mercury Phoenix Trust might be able to point you in the right direction, as a percentage from the sale of the rose goes to them. The fan club might have a list of sellers too.
