Me too, generally speaking but OH is from Worcester and played cricket for many years at Malvern so, on the shadier side of the new bed we have a pale yellow Malvern Hills rose. I've planted Blue Angel on one side of it and Astra Nova on the other and a Lark Arising rose beyond. In the next "row" there's a pale yellow Breathless Charm and then Fighting Temeraire, Lady Emma Hamilton and Summer Song so going thru apricot to copper. There are other shrubs and perennials going in too and it'll be grand when it all comes together next year, assuming we get some decent rain.

I've only ever been to Malvern once, and that was to the showground with the wee hills behind. Beautiful setting I hate peach and salmon - inside and out. Orange, copper and gold - lovely The only pastel I really like is yellow - like native primuals.

It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Hi Robiwan. Gardeners World is my favourite programme. I see it as a way of sharing a love of gardens and gardening. I am of an age to remember Geoff Hamilton, (and even his predecessors.) Geoff was a great presenter and helped to inspire me, but I personally like Monty Don and Longmeadow very much. I don't expect each episode to be programmed to my particular preferences, so some weeks are a bit disappointing, but my disappointment will be someone else's highlight of the week. That's only to be expected in such a diverse subject. I will never plant a banana or a tree fern, but others will want to. I think Monty's dogs are remarkably well behaved, but I don't really need to see quite so much of them. I like to see the various birds and other wildlife more. I look forward to each episode, and especially love to see people who are passionate about their gardens, as I am about mine. Not everyone understands what a special place one's garden can be, so to be in like-minded company for thirty minutes or an hour each week is a pleasure I look forward to.
Oh dear ... can’t you see them? ... some people can’t but I posted a smiley face, a thumbs up and a smiling sunshine ... you’ll have to try to imagine them
