Need a rose recommendation

Maigold is a beautiful rose, Daffodil Yellow,, Scented, Flowers 3" to 4" across and comes into bloom end of April if south facing. It has flowers on until the end of the summer.

The only 'downside' is it is very prickley!!

I had it growing in very  poor stoney soil and it reached  12 ft.. Eventually we had to cut it down as we couldn't cope with the thorns.

Give it a try.

Badgers

We had Badgers in our garden every night for weeks. An oldtimer told me to put down curry powder!  It worked! I did have to renew several times after any rain but that was no problem and not expensive. Try it!
