Yeah, thanks, quite the workout that bed, the ground sloping away in two directions meant a lot of fiddling to get the levels right too! @Alfie_ its going to have a trellis running right down the middle lengthways with Madame Isaac Pereire on the east face and Blush Noisette and Thomas à Becket on the west. Apart from giving me space for climbers, its to help hide the parking area from the seating area near the house.
Well I’ve just cracked and ordered some perennials! I’ve stuck with multiples of reliable drought tolerant favourites. I don’t know about the penstemon though since that’s new. Hmm, the photos seem to have disappeared but you get the drift..
Mountainous Northern Catalunya, Spain. Hot summers, cold winters.
Pond life is so fascinating... nice selection of perennials Nollie.
Well, time to close this thread, hope to see you all on the new one, and thanks for all the fabulous photos and other contributions over the last 6 months..
@Marlorena you are rose ID Queen! Wasnt styles, was a named bare root cheapy from you garden I think (or maybe garden express possibly which sell claude monet I see.) So thats a good bet its that if its a common one. Not very bronzy foliage. I cant remember if it gets more yellow, but I dont think so, so your probably right! I shall label accordingly thank you! I do have some nice bronze ones, copper lights Brother Cadfael (older Austin) Nostalgia Mothers day hand tied bouquet I put together myself for my husband to take to my mother in law. For £18 of flowers Im rather pleased. Im assuming the gorgeous purpley one is 'Deep water". Wish that grew here!
Just bought, ..., a very new variety, Rosa Floribunda ‘Alexandra David-Neel’. It was baptised last June. Described as very perfumed and long-flowering, ... Here's a pic from the breeder's catalogue (Pépinières Georges Delbard).
At last my R. ‘Alexandra David-Neel' has just started. Nice bud and lovely scent already. Looking forward to more flowers to open!

@Mr. Vine Eye I’m so jealous! I’m desperate to have some frogs or newts in my pond but have got nothing
