She is lovely!

Judy, I got it this year, too, and the color isn't what I expected. We've had so much rain and cloud cover that my blooms aren't opening properly and where's the fragrance? The bush is growing and lots of buds. I am liking Queen of Sweden better.

Where can I find this rose? It is so beautiful.Very romantic! lesley

Beautiful rose. I wish I could get this rose as it is a new Austin variety. Unfortunately I don't want to order from the internet. Does the colour fade quickly?

Looks great!

Such a lovely rose, love the soft color! All your roses are so gorgeous! I would like to know some of your favorite varieties.

Love it. The leaves look so fresh.

So many blooms! Gorgeous!

Hey Kentuckyrose, It does have a slight fragrance but not real strong. I have QOS too and love it too but they look totally different. They're both beautiful.

Huckdog I sooooo agree with how she looks soooo romantic. Love her bloom. I ordered mine from David Austin website this past spring. I have two bushes planted side by side.

Jpeace it doesn't seem to fade but its starting out so light anyways which isn't what I was expecting but I absolutely love the color. She does turn a pink shade sometimes which is quite pretty too.

Sara I have quite a few that I absolutely love and Lady Gardener is one of them. Some of my other favorites are Alnwick, Boscobel, Gruss, Carding Mill, Queen of Sweden, Sweet Juliet, Abe Darby, Mary Magdalyn, Perdita, Heaven on Earth and Anne Boleyn. All of them have a great repeat and are simply gorgeous. I'm sure I missed some that I love but its been a long day with my sweet grandson. He's not feeling well with little blisters hurting inside his mouth and he's pitiful. He hurts so I hurt. I know all of us parents and grandparents feel the same way. It was a day full of snuggling, which I LOVE, and popsicles.

Thanks everyone for your sweet comments.

Thanks, Judy for naming your favorites. I hope your grandson is better soon, hate it when they're not feeling well. I imagine you're a very sweet grandma to a precious little boy !

Thank you for these pictures. I love the shading,

Your welcome you guys. Thanks for your sweet comments Sara and your very welcome for my favorites. I left off Cream Abundance. lol My sweet Bentley makes it easy to be a good Nana. Love that little kiddo.

So beautiful and healthy. I hope Bentley will feel better soon.

I see no weeds around your roses. What is your secret? Please share. Helen

LOL Weeds are my nemesis Helen. That bed happens to be one of my oldest beds and the weeds are more or less under control. I have other beds that are over run with them. Its impossible to stay ahead of them in this heat. Thanks for the sweet thoughts of my Bentley. He didn't have a good day today so hoping tomorrow will be better. Thalnks again, Judy

Purtay!!! Def on my list for fall!

They look awesome, Judy! Wish my roses look this good at this time of the year. Well, now you've done it! I will have to add this rose, Boscobel, and Abe Darby to my garden next year.

...because of these lovely photos, I have been enabled... I think that's the correct term.... my 'The Lady Gardener' arrived today and is now planted...

.. great looking shrub, very shapely and a mass of buds... I like the colour too...

..for good measure I finally succumbed to 'Munstead Wood'... having seen so many photos of it on here... so that's gone in as well...

Thanks y'all!! You all will love her. It's just my first yr but I'm smitten.

Good luck with her Marlorena and the beautiful Munstead Wood.

Oh Karen you will love all three. I'm a crazy Austin fan and have all 3 and love them.

Thanks again yall!!! Judy

Hi PrettyPetals (Judy),

In another thread you mentioned that DA sent you the wrong rose. So is this rose still Lady Gardener or not? I still love the cream colour of this rose. It looks very nice and healthy. LG is a new release for Australia so I'm reading up posts on whether to get this rose or not.
