This was my wisteria covered pergola a couple of weeks ago, It is still going strong and filling the garden with a beautiful scent. We also noticed a blackbird is nesting above the table and chairs.
This rose is beautiful and is a continuous repeat flowering all through summer. It has an amazing scent. I know it is not a bee friendly rose but I do have lots of those as well and plenty of other bee friendly plants. But this one I just had to have. I love it.
That's just beautiful LL. I hope you get plenty of great weather to enjoy it - and the blackbirds too! Pot against the wall with the water feature (?) above is very classy.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Thank you everyone for your kind comments. Yes Fairygirl, it is a water feature. My hubby built it, it is just an ordinary large terracotta pot with the hole plugged and sealed and a pump inside with cobbles and a few plants in. Took a while to find the wall spout but finally found one in my local nursery and just had to drill the hole for water pipe to go. I would love a pond really, maybe next year, have to go on my list of projects for hubby to do which he doesn't know about !!! x

It's just perfect LL. I think you should transport your garden immediately to Chelsea described as a 'small Italianate courtyard garden'.
It's a Gold in my book
