Dr sb you have unique and beautiful collection of roses and others too (all rounder) . Crown Princess Margaretta is looking great.
Magnolia Figo or Banana shrub is available with same name or have some other identtity locally?

Magnolia Figo is being sold as "Magnolia shrub" or "Magnolia coco". It is a shrub but it is not coco, my diagnosis is that it is Figo......confirm.

Kaleem Saheb it is difficult to make a living in our lovely country for people who want to do things right so I still go to the USA off and on to work part time "kharchey Nikalne ke liye". This gives me the opportunity to bring plants and bulbs also.

Dr sb your Crown prince is great.i like this David Austin very much.its color is so different.i have very few D.As .how the Shakespeare performes in the garden.i would like to add it next year.Golden celebration is nice but stems are very weak.i think its a climber more than a bush.suggest me some good D.As which you are enjoying in your garden.i want true garden performers.i want to make an entire bed just for Austins.

Khan Saheb William Shakespeare 2000 is not doing too well and Brother Cadfael also struggling maybe because its grafted on Dr Huey rootstock of USA which does not do good here. You probably already have some of the best DA roses. Khan Saheb Abraham Darby, Sharifa Asma, Jude, Carding Mill, Benjamin Britten, Strawberry Hill are performing good. I planted Pat Austin, Claire Austin, Jubillee Celebration, Lady of Shalott, Huntington, Darcy Bussel this year bare root so will let you know how they perform.
