No Rehab. They are super easy to care for.
You’ll do just fine. Plus they come in some really nice shades.

Re: Colour galore

Thanks Puddles, my Iris were splended this year. I have a beautiful deep rich purple one which is stunning, as well as those very pretty blue & white ones.

My Mum used to have a lovely very tall bright canary yellow one, she loved it.
After she died, I took a cutting from the rhizome before the house was sold.
I am chuffed to bits it is still growing, she'd have been pleased with that. I call it "Mum's Yellow" .
Not very original I know, but that's how I think of it when I look at it in full bloom.

It's finished for this year now, else I'd have shown you.

It has a slight perfume Mups. In fact we were saying today that even the David Austin roses, which have come out lovely, don't seem to smell as much as last year.

Re: Colour galore

I have a new white rose this year dongle, which I bought because of the strong fragrance. It is heavenly, it really is.
It is called "Margaret Merril."
See here:

I only buy very fragrant ones now, I love to pause and sniff them as I walk past.
