I have a very confused Lady Of Shallott at the bottom of my garden…
Does anyone here have Malvern Hills? If so what kind of wall space does it cover? I have a space of 10-12 m and I want to cover it all. How many MH would you use?
2, spaced 12 feet apart.. but you will have your work cut out re maintenance, after 3 or 4 years.. I found one quite enough, but I'm probably a lot older..

Can I ask, what kind of maintenance problems? Can you not let it ramble rather than be 'trained'?
I 've been pondering that @Fire. Looking at the rose again, I think I would remove that damaged stem right to the base. The rose had a good 3 or 4 healthy looking stems so should be okay.
Ive been busy out the front this weekend. Oh the excitement of a lovely fresh empty rose bed! Its quite a long stretch (longer than picture angle makes it look!), I can comfortably get about 10 patio roses in! Ive just planted Penelope Lively at the front, Desdemona is already in the pot on the metal cover. Theres two more covers along the horizontal border so I might put pots on with Alnwick and maybe Geoff Hamilton depending how they do in heat.
The green pot is a marker for a miniature Purple haze appletree. From my unplanted potted roses so far im thinking Mill on the floss at the back by my neighbours, then further forward Mottisford, sunset isle, styles Happy Couple, Dicksons A Fond Farewell, perfume kisses (two tone cream / white), Aquarell. Rest tbc! Collage of catalogue pics;

To follow up on Dasha's question - would all of you consider the above bark to be damaged and the cane in need of removal? Thanks
'Kew Gardens'.. a magnificent, thornless shrub, for almost anywhere in the garden..
