    Hi DavidK, no I didn't - you and those who have given me such wonderful advice have been so helpful; I really appreciate it. I'm also after a climber.. do you have any suggestions? The only thing is our road is on a slight incline, so access to the garden is via decking. In this particular case, whatever it is I plant will have to go into a planter for this reason. Any advice/ideas most welcome. Well, I'm knackered, so will see if I can tear myself away and get some sleep..

     The Pilgrim

    Oh crikey, Bev hope your OH doesn't name me in a divorce case image......anyway, you asked.

    My suggestion for a climber would be 'The Pilgrim'....a really beauty and good doer.

    I can recommend "the Pilgrim" too. Here is mine. Mine is in a pot. This is last year, it's taller this year, but haven't a good photo.

     

    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    Wow, some lovely roses there. I will try and post up some pictures of mine later. I have recently planted Nostalgia, Zephirine Drouhin and Mme Alfred Carriere.  I have had some flowers off all but Zephirine Drouhin, but all have had good healthy growth since planting May this year.

    DavidK and Busy Lizzie; thank you for sharing those wonderful pics. I do prefer recommendations as opposed to "shopping blind" so to speak. The Pilgrim is next on my list image
