They are lovely Alice. Do you know which roses they are?
I have some roses flowering now too. The winter blooms, always seem extra special.

Thank you, Daisy. They are not half as wonderful as yours!
They were not labelled when we bought them. The bi-coloured one looks like Double Delight.

Correction: Double Delight is a red/white variety, not red/yellow as in the photo. So the answer is: no, I am afraid I don't know the name of either.
