I agree It's gorgeous. Lovely shape, lovely color, and see how healthy the leaves look.
One DA I would advise against is Glamis Castle - we have some and they flower well, but are definitely prone to black spot. We bought ours at the David Austin centre in Albrighton, and even there they warned us about the tendency to blackspot. We bought them anyway because my husband was keen (he's a Scot and wanted a reminder of his homeland) and I agree to anything that counters his usually indifferent attitude to gardening... We get rid of the black spot by using Viresco but we have to spray every month.
I'm not sure but I think DA in England have this year discontinued Glamis Castle... RIP Angel
