Well in this case the roses are white. (well we do live in Yorkshire!). This is the climbing rose at the front of the house, and despite neglecting it and not sure when to cut it back or prune it, it’s done very well this year with over 40 flowers, and still lots of buds. It’s an old fashion type, with a very nice scent!

I’m surprised Lindsey’s not started to paint them red!

An update of how the garden border is progressing two years on. In May 2007 we created a new border at the front of the garden under the trees, which is very shady. We planted hostas, fox gloves and geraniums, and despite the battle with slugs and snails, moving the geraniums, that didn’t do to well in the shade this is the latest update. This year in early spring I moved the fern to the back of the border, because it domninated the border when in full growth. I seem to have lost one of the original hostas, don’t know where it went. I’ve also now used, grit over the entire area to stop the slugs and snails eating the hostas!
