Rosemoor Gardens, Great Torrington, Devon.

27 comments


Have just spent a few days in Devon, and while there visited Rosemoor. The last time I went here was about fifteen years ago, when it hadnt long been laid out, so I saw a great difference and it all looked so mature now. Of course the roses were finished for this year, but a few photos that I managed to get are quite interesting, so thought you might like to see them.

Love that last flower, a cup and saucer vine?

23 Oct, 2011

 

Thanks Lulu. I think its called Cobea, or something like that !!

Cobea Scandens, the cup and saucer vine. Grown as an annual, and it needs warmth to get it going because it won't flower until about 6' tall. I've tried it twice and did manage to get a couple of flowers by about September!

What a lovely blog Cinders, thank you for sharing these beautiful autumn scenes.

It looks a wonderful place now. It's many years since I went there, and wasn't so well established in those days. I remember that thing with a thatched roof :o)

Yes its years since I had been too, and now it is all so mature. It was a shame the roses were over.

Thanks Shirley. OH and I went soon after it was laid out, in fact it hadnt been finished, but what a difference now.

Ooh, do you have any pics from that time? ... Michael was disappointed to see part of the allotment area had tarmac paths ... never used to be like that! . . . . .

Oh my goodness Shirley, thats a long time ago now, but I will have a look for you. Its probably only photos of rose gardens though.
