Rose: 'Margaret Merril'

Very pretty....I guess that this is in your garden. It's a beauty Jenny.

Yes, although I took this when it was still in its pot.... I was very late getting things into the ground, but I've planted it in the border and just hoping its gonna be happy there. Do you know if its possible to move roses if they don't like their location?

It is quite pretty :) Although mainly I chose it because the name reminded me of Margaret Mitchell and I'd just read gone with the wind :P

Well...I am only a "beginner gardener" but I have read on GoY of others moving rosebushes but if I remember correctly it is preferrable with young bushes. You could ask the question in the "Questions" section and you'd get replies that wouldn't lead you astray...members are very quick to give helpful replies to questions :)

I hope it thrives for you, Jenny...it is a lovely rose.

Thankyou, I hope so too :) GoY members are all so nice, and really patient and helpfull to newbies like you and I! I hope that soon I can be as helpful to others too :P Have you managed to sort your gravel out yet?

Long story, Jenny. I'll be writing a blog later this week to update.

We are awaiting a quote from a very knowledgeable gardener that was very impressed with my rough drawings for the garden and is coming back to us this week. :)

Oh good, I'll keep my eyes peeled for it :) I hope quote is affordable!! and I'm glad he likes your plans.. you must be very excited! :D
