Thank you @Marlorena that is good to know... Re blush noisette. A lot of what I read are review a online so not always reliable. I will definitely consider it! Thanks
I do like these Berberis for frontage planting, I like the round balls of foliage.. this one is 'Bagatelle'..
Have just bought three from Grasslands Nurseries... they look lovely. Do you recognise the influence you have...? You could have a career as an "influencer" (and get paid for all your recommendations)...!!!
(PS That was just a joke. I know you give your advice freely and generously, and I, for one, am very grateful for it. X)
'Ballerina' a hybrid musk rose... trained across railings..
'Scented Garden'... I've fallen for this rose.. 'The Poet's Wife'.. an astonishing, huge yellow rose.. scented of lemon.. 'Rosemoor'.. an unusual David Austin rose.. it's 6 foot on an obelisk..
@Janie B Hi Janie... sorry I didn't see your post until I put a load of mine up... wow! I'm so pleased you got those, and aren't they looking good... beautiful frontage plants... startling colour... it's nice to know I'm doing something right !.... thanks...
I love that 'Rosemoor' one, Marlorena, you're right, it certainly has unusual colouring. I'm waiting impatiently for my new 'Royal Jubilee' to come out, it's very close now. Dying to know whether I've got exactly the right colouring for my scheme.
@Lizzie27 .. Lizzie... don't be concerned if when Royal Jubilee opens first, you look at it and perhaps be a little disappointed... it's a rose that needs a couple of seasons to show itself... early flowers are so misleading on this rose... they droop and can appear lighter.. the colour darkens and the blooms get much larger, and non droopy, over time.. it's an astonishing transformation...
Do roses (assuming you treat them right) also tend to get more floriferous over time? Some of mine tend to start off really well, then decline in subsequent years. I plant them well, feed and cosset them, do everything in my power to alleviate black spot (apart from spraying) but sometimes the display is never as good as the first. I am talking mainly of David Austin’s roses as these are the majority of my now 3 year olds. Perhaps the are just taking longer to get into their stride in my changeable climate??
