A poorly Strawberry Hill. Downside to a new garden is no established ecosystem so this is being mullered by greenfly. I havenāt seen a ladybird or bird for that matter in the 18 months weāve been here. They prefer the golf course hedgerow a few meters away I think.
and my birthday present from my young boys planted last week - Roald Dahl
4th year patio rose brought with me. I donāt know the variety.
@pandakoalagirl49lS9c8QR_ Hi, ... ordinarily I would say do give it a go, if you can dig a hole then a rose can go in, is what I say, however, we have a problem here with Rowan trees, one that old, because they are in the same family.. Rosaceae.. as roses, and you could find rose replant disease issues occurring..Ā
It's trial and error on that, I can't say for sure how your rose will do..Ā
Hellebore - dug up from my late granās garden 12 years ago. Divided it about 6 years ago and gave half to my mum who has an equally amazing looking pot this spring
Ā a Pheno Geno rose, I think it was called 'Summer Sunshine'. Pheno Geno call the same rose 'Olivera'.. Trevor White's list it as 'Zara'...Ā so we can take our pick..
I find it ridiculous..Ā
Is there anything here about breeders' rights / patenting?Ā Surely you just can't nick someone else's creation and rename it? Wouldn't that be like taking a can of Coke, pouring it into a new bottle, naming it "Woke", selling it and profitting from their recipe? Breaks every kind of trade regulation, no..?
Brodsworth is 50 minutes away, English Heritage. We love the gardens there, you can get lost in them thereās so many different areas and routes around. Theyāve got a Rose Garden, but weāve not visited at the best time yet. Will do this year.
Burton Agnes - walled garden is further for you 1 hour 20, but itās still my favourite garden. Thereās just so much packed in. Lots of small paths that take you to different āroomsā it feels so much larger than it is and itās full of great planting, with roses of all kinds packed in everywhere.
A visit in June is one of the highlights of my year:
Sorry @Lizzie27, I forgot to respond to your post about the washing line pole.Ā Yes, you are right, it is in a ball of concrete and I was also going to attack it with a sledge hammer.Ā I've decided to excavate around it first and see if I can destabilise and will work from there I think.Ā
The Rose Gardens originally comprised three adjoining enclosures - Lady Cecilia's Garden, the Sundial Garden and the Venus Garden. With their romantic Italianate trellises, hornbeam hedges and backdrop of brick walls, these gardens are a sheltered paradise of colour and intoxicating perfume, where visitors will enjoy a spectacle of massed roses. In total there are 2000 modern roses of all types making this one of England's most comprehensive collections.
Thank you for posting the lovely photos @MuseLea. I too look forward to seeing how your roses progress.
The rose threads just get better all the time, such a pleasure to catch up when I have a break. Still attending to storm damage here so roses and 'proper gardening' are a bit behind, but these posts are inspiration to keep going.Ā
I have a 'Ghislaine Dr Feligonde' and am wondering what's the best thing to do.... I planted it in December 2020 in an empty vegetable bed. It grew away nicely last season but sadly due to Storm Arwen my plans for redeveloping an area in winter 2021/22 were shelved. Should I dig it up, trim top and roots and replant in another clean veg bed for this season, or is it too late for that? It will be a nuisance if left where it is, and I think it would also make it harder to dig up next winter? Any advice from our rose experts much appreciated.

Both of those are also great if youāve got children, or are still in touch with your inner child, because theyāre āfunā gardens too.
Thanks @cooldoc
