Has anyone grown the following roses against a fence? Paul's Himalayan musk and Mme Alfred Carriere. I'm getting very mixed opinions from my local garden centre, not to mention from the David Austin team. Ive been told they are far too vigerous for a fence, and I should stick with climbing roses, so I thought its best to ask you.
Rose Lady - With Madame Alfred Carriere, I grew it against a high wall (5 metres) in my last garden, it was in deep shade but managed to survive and produce some flowers.
This fabulous garden shows the importance of a good basic structure. I particularly like the fact that you have used gravel and paving rather than grass.
Thank you so much Eddie J and Gardening Grandma for your kind words about the garden. I am pleased you like it. Really itching for spring to hurry so we can all begin our gardening passion again. More snow forecast for today, grrrrr.

Kel you may be better to put start a new post on the forum about this cos not everyone will be looking at this one. You will get lots of advice then
I think you're probably right there.
Thanks LL

LL, you've made great use of your space, looks fab.
Thank you artjak. I might do that in my front garden up against the wall. I understand it does quite well even in a north facing garden

One word....
WOW!!
There isn't one element of your garden that I don't like.
