I'll take some good foliage shots when it stops raining to show what I mean. The foliage is kind of bluey/green, very matt, quilted and look all soft and padded. I find it really appealing. Leda is a once flowering rose and mine are growing on their own roots. It was given to me by a friend down in Huon Valley (TAS) where she has a large plant also growing on its own roots. The own-root plants produce many suckers so the effect is that given room they will form a nicely rounded mound. There is a great big one on HMF that looks beautiful... but huge! The foliage is also blackspot free (here), though when I got the suckers and had them in pots they mildewed quite badly. Now they are in the main garden I don't think they will mildew as much as they are in full sun with much better air circulation.
Thanks Simon - I love the lime green colour. I will look out for this rose to plant next autumn. There's a place near me that can get most things (Roses & Friends in Fitzroy Falls).
