@pitter-patter ..wow, that was fantastic, what a garden you have !.. loved the hard landscaping, everything is so neat and tidy yet full of interest with all the different areas and plenty of secluded seating..Â
.. nice quiet music too, I don't like being blasted with intrusive sounds.. and at 5 minutes run time, just right.. .. a garden to be immensely proud of..Â
I’m thinking about a west facing wall in my garden. It’s the best part of the garden in terms of sun and up until recently was all hedge and shed. After a greenhouse is installed I’ll have 10m of 1.9m high fencing left bare along it. I think about 25- 30% of that in the NE corner of the garden will be a sitting out in the sun area. And the remainder beds of some description.
I am considering what to grow up the fence, and one of the options is a rose/ roses.
What would the groups thoughts be on a big rose to eventually cover it all, or smaller climbers- maybe 2 or 3 planted along the wall?
I’d prefer repeat flowering, so something like Paul’s Himalayan Musk although it would fit the space quite well, wouldn’t suit…
Thank you, @Marlorena. I would have been happy to leave only the original audio (as you can still hear there is a lot of birdsong). Unfortunately the microphone has picked up some other sounds - like my breathing, planes... very annoying.Â
@andrewnewton I think it also depends on your most frequent viewing angle, say from the house or patio. You might just see two blocks of different colours visually clashing as your eye might not really register what’s in the corner to theoretically separate the two.
Depends on what colours you are thinking of transitioning to - I think you were originally contemplating warmer orange/apricot tones too? Soft apricot tones with hints of pink might work, look at newbie’s Versigny (posted above) or Lady Emma Hamilton, for example.
It is all a matter of personal taste, some don’t worry about colour clashes at all, others (like me!) are bothered by them. So if it were me, I would keep the colour scheme coherent across both legs of the L but blend in some deep cool pinky red, burgundy and purple into the whole mix to add points of depth and pops of vibrancy. Lavender roses would also work in there, or lavender itself. I would avoid orangey reds. But as I say, that’s just me, every scheme is personal.
@Nollie You are correct I was thinking initially about apricot tones but settled on the pink / blue / purple theme. Like you I prefer more coherence in a colour scheme and thanks for steering me towards pinky red and burgundy. I guess I'm looking for reassurance to get it right first time !! Thanks for your assistance
@pitter-patter A nice tour. I watched it without sound for now. I didn't know you had several different seating areas there. Going through all that looks like a proper journey, discovering something new behind every turn.
Really impressive @pitter-patter , you have an eye for detail and very thoughtful arrangement, something I am hopeless at so admire in others. Thnk you for sharing. I am so looking forward to that budfull standard, is it Harlow Carr?
@pitter-patter - a lovely film. Very successful geum. I love the foxglove and Niobe (if that's what it is). It all seems very peaceful. I like that we get to see the bins too 😊
@pitter-patter, thoroughly enjoyed video of your garden. I always admired how beautiful your selection is and today I could see how it is all linked together.Â
