Very nice indeed Patricia. I can see a lot of work has gone into it. Love the shrub roses, but its all lovely, well done

Well done... pretty garden :o)

You cant really see it properly as I said, but I have lots of roses like Grace Penny Lane Crcus rose Falstaff, they looked amazing when the delphs were out, and in amongst that potentilla Miss willmot, and I put clematis growing up the 2 shrubs I left. and now the dahlias are out although today has been a nightmare with the wind, and the dogs ill again, OMG what a day......

looks beautiful, well done on winning,

Wow that looks so lovely and well done:)

What a lovely garden. easy to see why it is a winner.

Very well done to you -- well deserved :)))))))

thank you all for your kind words much appreciated x

What a lovely garden Patricia, well done it's a very deserving winner. I love the pink rose, what is it called?

Hello Lily2, I think it is called sussex or kent, I prune it really hard and it always come back, the garden looks even better now the dahlias are out. I have a Lily rose grand daughter pretty name. x

it is a lovely garden..so colourful and alive..gorgeous and vivacious..excellent

Lovely planting ... no wonder you're a winner! In the last pic ... bottom right ... are those Alliums please? I have some that look similar but they're taking an age to colour up! I guess that's just their habit? .......

Hi Patricia, I had one in my last garden called 'Surrey', very similar. I must look out for them as I seem to be getting interested in roses again. Lily is a very popular name now but I hated having it as my middle name when I was a child. Lily Rose is a lovely name :o)

Thank you all again for your comments on the garden, I won a lovely certificate and 25 pounds. and thanks to SKIP for your comments on larry lamb. had a lovely day at hampton court by the way, except for the rain ugh...

shirley tulip, yes they are a form of alium, they do take ages to colour up, particulary if they are not in full sun, but they attract the bees. so I like them, I am trying to be bee friendly. x

Thanks Patricia . . .

Bit late Patricia but congratulations on winning, by the pics I`d say well deserved, it looks lovely......
