Beautiful garden @Tack I've also got an Italian Cypress but mine's in a smallish but tall pot behind our side gate so shady most of the time. I'm surprised it's still surviving because half the time I forget it's there and also forget to water it regularly.
Thanks for the heads-up re Autumn Delight @Marlorena, much appreciated. Tagging @owd potter who also has it on a wish list. I notice Trevor White has it too but I'll bear it in mind in case I do a big Beales order.
I also see they have Pelisson on the bin list, one I've often had an eye on...
Thank you. Yes I caught a moment of lovely light in that pic, a few seconds later it was like this. When the bulbs and alliums are over I'll dig it all out and fill this little bed with lavender, it is a scorching spot in summer and I am fed up of watering it. The Italian Cypress in a shadier border is nothing like as tall.
Lovely spring things going on folks, that’s a pretty sizeable garden you have there @Tack, plenty of room for the Italian Cypress, ours are about three times the height of the 7m tall house, just preparing you 😆
Francis Dubreuil will be number three to bloom, after Warm Welcome and Forever Royal, hopefully it will be fully open in a day or two. The tender new foliage got a bit frost-bitten:
Mountainous Northern Catalunya, Spain. Hot summers, cold winters.
Thanks @Marlorena only had the box a few months and the lid already warped so had to screw it down again.
@newbie77 thanks, they probably look fresh because they've just been planted. Will see how they look in a few months time. It does look like a lipstick but not my colour It's not as far along as your gorgeous magnolias though.
@Tack I have lawn envy.......your garden looks lovely. After having 6 dogs at one time and 8 chickens (now only 2 dogs and 1 chicken) mine is completely trashed. My Dad has the most perfect lawn so I threatened to go over at night and turf it to bring back here!!
I think that's what they call a quintessential English garden @Tack .. quite lovely with the Cypress too... aren't they expensive to buy though?..
..looking forward to the open bloom @Nollie although it's not a spectacular shaped rose, it's the scent really I think.. your heating problems have flown across the Continent as I have radiator issues... always on a Bank Holiday... gas man coming tomorrow.. he sounded nice on the phone...

I'd like something like that but shorter. I know Marlorena recommended some narrow conifers a while ago.
