@Mary370 ...no, not too late Mary, get cracking with that, especially where you are.... March is considered late these days, as like everything else, roses are well on the way by then...
Lovely day for a bit of gardening, only one little problemI remember why I like potsI do hope your wife is feeling better @Mr. Vine Eye , I was enraged with you about your allotment theft, hope it resolves happily.
@tack .. that's a shocker with the flooding... your little Iris's are nice though... and pots seem the way to go for you right now..
..we've moved to the new thread, so see you there and hope things dry out quickly for you... so disheartening, I've never had to deal with that level of flooding so far..
A few pictures of summer...with Lady of the Lake and a few herbaceous perennials
@peteS, these are absolutely gorgeous!!! i have been thinking about getting Lady of the Lake, but i am not sure how well she would do in my hot dry summer climate. Would the blooms scatter quickly? Could you tell me a bit more about her growth habit, fragrance... and thorns? Thanks in advance.
Hello dear rose lovers. I have never grown roses but am seriously thinking of planting Mme Plantier next year mainly for delicious scent in the front garden . I was thinking of training it over an arch . I do like the fact that it is virtually thornless and I have read that it is “ floppy”. Does this mean I could train it easily ? Also when it has finished would I be able to grow a clematis over it without damaging either plant ? Thank you.
