Middle Border


Middle Border

I think any colour goes in the garden and this is just to prove it, well for me it is good I know some like more subtle colour blends but this all works for me and especially in this big border down the middle of my garden. Hope you like it too.

The rose is Leaping Salmon, but I do wonder about it, it is rather pink, I do like it but thought when I bought it it would be a peachier pink than it is. Glad you like the garden Cinderella.

Its lovely, I used to have Leaping Salmon, and I am sure mine was more peachy than this one, but as you say, it is lovely anyway.

Well, now that is stunning....however, I don't think it would be half as nice with orange in it!! lol!

No it wouldn't when I bought this rose I put it somewhere else and was disappointed it didn't do well, had to move it, but it is in the right place now, it is full of flowers. I still love peaches and oranges and yellows best though. Really looking forward to the climbers getting hold and showing off their colours. Isn't it strange, things get moved without a lot of thought and they just seem to fit in. Well they are doing for me at the moment. A plonker I confess to being.

Nope, I think it is sub-concious plant planning! You do it on a 'higher plane'!

You might be right there.

Beautiful, I think the deep pink rose compliments the other deep colours. Well done you, as this mixed planting is harder and takes longer to achieve then it looks.

No problems - you have been so very very busy in your garden, it is nice to catch up though. I had a lot to do with the catching up after I had been looking after Sarah's house for her. Sometimes it is impossible to see everything, especially when so many friends are publishing pictures and writing blogs. I just go with the flow. :0))))))

This is simply stunning! I tend to go more with lilacs, whites, pinks & purples, but I love a splash of bolder colour in red & I do love the lemony tones mixed in. And some wonderful green foliage in there to blend it all together. I'm not a great fan of orange & strong yellow, but I have a feeling you could plant those colours up in a way which would make me change my mind.
