    ..thanks so much. yes my camera takes a better photo than before I think.. more true to life..

    .. your rose is doing well, it will use its thorns to hook onto that trunk, but I probably said before, you will need to tie some string around the trunk to hold that in place, and when those flowers are finished, it will send up numerous long canes from the base, all of which should be aimed towards the trunk and tied in.. maybe that's what you've got written down.. 

    ..must be a big tree.. I'm surprised it gets waterlogged there..

    Yes I will follow your guide to the letter. I am so grateful you took the time when I was such a clueless rose newbie, thank you.
    The bottom of the garden floods from the local watercourse, the back garden is all floodplain. The tree is a mature Mulberry, 45yrs old.

    I think what you also have alongside an obviously beautiful garden, is the ability to show that through your photography. Each photo I've noticed is very well composed and so shows the garden at it's best from every angle, which is not easy in 'busy' surroundings. You have what they say, 'a photographer's eye'.

    ..thanks Pete... I do my best..

    .. by the way, do you still have 'Windflower'?.  mine is in bud but it's so awfully late to start flowering.. very unusual for an Austin.. I think it might be early July before I see any real blooms ...

    I have...but, it's one I dug up from an over crowded border during the Autumn and potted it up, and forgot to label it...but it is definitely in bud, because I have three others potted up with no ID, and they are all in bud. So it's just a question of waiting 'til they open to ID them.

    OR... the garden is beautiful from all angle anyways.. so however you take it, it still looks awesome... :)

    I really like the 'busy' look in a garden, I don't find it overwhelming at all. It's luxurious to be surrounded by plants and scents, colour and insects.
