Thanks Daylily. I’ve managed to get 2 cuttings from the variegated Weigela to strike a couple of years ago, both flowering their socks off. One I planted in the border the other still in a pot. I must try to get a cutting of the Bristol Ruby one to strike this year. It’s a shame it never gets a chance to flower properly in the hedge.

Wonderful looking garden Rose. Thanks for posting.

Rose, you’ve an abundance of gorgeous blooms and colour in your lovely garden! So many things giving you lots of joy. I’m with Karen, the gift of ‘Hope’ from your close friends is very kind and thoughtful, especially in memory of Rick.
Thanks for taking us around your garden today, hope you are feeling better x

Could you not Kate? That doesn't sound grammatically correct!!

Very pretty, Julia..I’d love to plant a couple here.

I tried to grow this, but sadly it didn’t thrive here.

Very attractive trio there, Karen.. illuminating colours.

Very pretty selection from your garden, that’s a gorgeous rose at the front.
I’ve noticed a few trees down in Lincolnshire between Louth and Grimsby.. the country lanes.
Feels so chilly today.

Ooh that’s a pretty colour!

That’s a gorgeous one, Karen. It’ll be a lovely companion for your rose.

Vivid and colourful!

Thanks Karen, me too. Thought it would mingle with my pinkish ones.

Aw thank you, Shirley! I’m happy to hear this, 🤗

Thank you, Jane, maybe this one is an early bloomer!

In that case Rose I hope a calmer day turns up soon ... it's pretty windy here ... :o((

That's a good offer.

👍

Perfect.

Karen, do you have this in your garden? If not, I have clumps of it I could send you.

Great flowers for pollinators.

:o))

Julia, there isn't really a damp area in this garden. Dry and shady, or dry and sunny! Hopefully I shall message you tomorrow. I hope the wind dies down soon.

Michael actually asked if we should put the heating on ... :o(

Haha, I thought he was perfect for the part. No doubt if I saw the film now I may think differently!

Rose what a lovely collection of plants and shrubs...I can see the results of your hard work despite somedays not feeling up to it.

Shirley, I was only intending to buy one but the offer was 5 for £12.00...we'll see how they settle in.

Beautiful plants Rose, especially the Viburnum mariesii 🙂.

I do love a yellow rose.

It’s better than my Tesco ones too! :)

I love the Magnificum too. It’s so full on and colourful. :)

Yes, I agree. I would like to make more blogs, but it’s a little bit tedious nowadays on here. I really loved the first photo Rose. Very atmospheric and inviting. And how lovely of someone to bring you ‘Hope’ at such a terrible time. The garden is doing ever so well and maybe, just maybe this is in part because you are doing a bit better too. :) sending love x

Sorry both..
It has a lovely strong Tea rose fragrance.

I'm quite pleased Shirley..these have come from last year's seeds.They are so tall.

Yes, I love this one. Really pleased with it. Perfect beside my rose Chartreuse De Parme with its purple pink blooms.

This is planted by the pool in a damp area Shirley..hope all's well..this horrendous strong wind has been battering the Roses and Peonies.

Lol! Alan Bates has never done it for me Shirley, but each to their own!

It’s very November- like.

Yes sap sucker damage.

That is odd isn’t it? Could it be that your mint died and a weed grew in its place?but it does look similar to mint. I am flummoxed!

Thanks Shirley :-)

Thanks Shirley I had some before too years ago not sure what happened to it but love the colour :-)

Thanks Shirley, ah yes I like Nick Bailey, a couple of them were 9cm pots and they have grown as well as the 2 larger ones I bought, I have had them before but moved them and they seemed to not do so well and disappeared, also I had a split off one years ago which i gave my mom that grew well too so will be looking out for those

That is a good assortment from the garden. Raining here too ... wind is blowing like crazy so I am keeping a watchful eye on the garden!

Fabulous.

She's stunning!

Love this Geranium. I was gifted a clump many years ago by GoYer Motinot and it still grows so well. Divides up brilliantly too!

Ah, this Salvia is the one that Nick Bailey (Gardeners World) says he always plants as it is such a good performer.

I am tempted to buy one after seeing yours, it does look perfect.

Stunning colours.

Julia, you have bought a good selection of plants.

Kate, you will love this Rose, it's a really good one and might even flower until October.
