Greetings @stef1,

Appreciate you dropping by any time. ^__^

Happy to hear of your experience of the principle. I think it assists in understanding why quality matters.

Thank you for your comments with regard to the roses in the hedgerow......because of the Honeysuckle it was difficult to discern whether these wild roses had any scent.....it seemed they did not. Perhaps I should have taken a cutting.

Here's to happy gardening for your roses!

Thank you for your kind wishes.

Wishing you and yours a lovely week. ^__^

Cheers!
