Abstract
My interest in things to do with roses has evolved.
After visiting other countries and seeing the roses available there I wanted some of them in New Zealand; as I previously described, shorter growing plants with larger blooms, in an array of colours which carried a better visual impact, some scented.
All bred to be more disease resistant because of the ban on chemicals in Europe especially.
Despite my interest in miniature roses I was convinced this type of rose was a much better garden subject.
