Pergola from lawn

That's a good looking pergola :o)

Thanks TT, any suggestions on which rose to grow?

Have you had a look at GoYpedia Climbing Roses ?
Click on C in the alphabet at the base of the page...

Thanks, will do.

What have you finally planted?

Have decided to plant white 'iceberg' climbing rose and jasmine I haven't got them yet but It's my birthday soon and I've dropped hints like bricks. :o)

Lovely. When the new retaining wall by the kitchen door is built, it will be quite high, so I thought I would plant a rambling rector - a creamy white - and wisteria together. The rambling rector is pretty vigourous, so should grow quickly, not sure if the wisteria will keep up though!

That sounds lovely. I've just invested in a wisteria to grow in a pot near the conservatory, I was surprised how much growth it's put on in just 2 months, so you never know.

Lovely wide arch Mandy. Did you get your rose?

Yes Karen, I planted Rosa 'iceberg', one on each side and I think I'll cover it with morning glory this year until the roses are a bit more established

Oh yes, I love morning glories!
