    Strange that it says hardy in most winters to -10,  but not in northern locations, valleys or at altitude!

    I'd be tempted - but not at that price image

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
  • You mention that you didn't water the rose. 

    Perhaps then if you're too busy or tend to forget, put in a Yucca or a plant that likes hot dry places, Lavender or perhaps Rosemary,  something to work with the Architectural stature old branches. 

    I would imagine though that soon the stump will have rotted enough to lift out easily.

    It's by the front gate so I passed it every day. It showed no obvious signs of distress until it upped and died or I would have given it the odd bucket of water. In my garden, if you don't ask, you don't get!. There was a big ants nest there too.

    In London. Keen but lazy.
  • A Clematis would be nice, one of the less vigorous ones. So many to chose from.

    (I've pulled up a couple and they've been surprisingly unsubstantial below.)

    Yes W. I know it will rot off fairly quickly.  I've dug out a few myself! but I want a bit of height in that part of garden in the meantime.  The contorted logs cut from an old glomerata looked good scattered around a flower bed until they finally disintegrated .

  • Fairygirl, it's growing at 900ft where I am in the Penines. Hasn't been attacked by cabbage whites but it's not near veg.

    If you let it look out of the car window on the way home from the GC it'll see where you're taking it image


    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
