I reckon that even My Angel would not take over your 2 acres, a big garden needs some big plants, just PM me your address again, please, I will send you some cutting material wrapped in wet kitchen roll, it will soon strike.
A friend of mine in the trade said, I quote " My Angel is definitely not for people who live in Barratt Homes "
Fidgetbones, lots of bees around the plant here, some of last years seedheads are still on the plant, a couple of stems I missed when pruning, the blue tits took some into the nest boxes.
I'll PM you if you have some seeds. Next door lets me put random plants in the old orchard. Its getting a bit like sleeping beautys palace, Nature is taking over (with a little help )
I took some hard wood cuttings. I hope they root. Its better than standard Rosa filipes, it flowers a week later and has more flowers to the cluster, and a pink blush to the back of the flower.

Is it good for wildlife?
I'm looking at the rose that I planted in next doors old orchard. Its 40 ft up a cherry tree, but it could do with company.
The hawthorn on the boundary has a clematis montana, a rosa filipesx? and a jasmine up it. You can't actually see much of the hawthorn.
I do have an orange peel clematis (Bill Mackenzie?) through a buddleja x weyerana. I chop both down in spring, and up they come.
Our Bill Mackenzie flowers beautifully at the top of a 20 feet tall tree. Survived the top 10 foot of the tree snapping under the weight of it.
And My Angel will cover 2 acres in a couple of years!
Sounds like mine Berghill.
I'm getting frightened now

Now I didn't say that.

Let me know if you want to try some.
It certainly makes a statement.
I heard you Richard.
No Barrett home, a wooden shack in a wilderness of plants and wildlife.
I'll PM you, thanks

Stunning picture, I have seeds and cutting material, seeds may not come true, you may get a plant like my Black Tibet. Fingers crossed
