Added two roses to the left, moved some plants around to get them in. lol :O)

Which two did you choose? :))

Did you see my comment about Boscobel? I saw it in Dobbies this week...if you still want it....the one I saw and fell for at Chelsea....but it was sold out everywhere on tinternet.

Way to go Barbara! Love it xxx

The whole effect is so lovely and you have created a really beautiful space.

Karen, One is called Lady Marmalade, the other didn't have a name tag it is pink and quite a delicate perfume. Yes I saw that Boscobel is in Dobbies not going to get it yet, I think I have no room left lol. :O) although I am thinking of moving that h. geranium on the right and putting one in there. lol. and I found a gap tonight up the path towards the arbour that would take a nice standard rose. lol. I saw one on line the other day, a picture of one anyway, not seen one yet to buy of a weeping standard rose. not sure if I would cope with it but it was impressive.

Glad you approve Michaella, lol :O) x it needed some colour at that side, I kept looking and looking and then this morning I thought I will move that dwarf rhoddie and take out that geranium and then I could put in a rose or two. lol. and heh presto here we are, colour at last in there. Hope it doesn't rain now and drown the poor things. lol :O)

I have just found a weeping standard of Angela's rambler 'Perennial Blue' on the Style Roses website. I might get that one (but not as a standard) in a pot. They have in stock!

Ooh, Lady Marmalade is very peachy! Lovely!

I will have a look later on, thanks for that Karen. Pleased you like Lady Marmalade. :O)

If you google the name you get tons of pics of Lady Gaga! Must be one of her personas!

I have seen it now, but but but I love that weeping Canary Bird, now that is something else, beautiful but it would not be right where I had in mind but I could always move Arthur Bell and put Canary bird where he has been. lol the mind is jumping about now. lol :O) Will have a think = watch this space. lol

Wildrose, thank you so much :O)

How many of us do what you have just done,Oliveoil? :o)
Move this, plant that, move something else to make another space,for something you have your heart set on..Lol.
Your garden is so lovely,and so well co ordinated..it all looks just perfect as it is..how can you possibly want more?? oh,go on then :o)

I always say "if you can't get another plant in the garden, you need a bigger shoehorn" :-)

Agreed! Andrew! Mum, Canary Bird is a devil of thorns, but it flowers before any other rose. It doesn't repeat though. The foliage is beautiful. Pros and Cons.

And it's OK for a few years, then starts dying, one branch at a time (well it has for me - twice).

Looking nice Oliveoil.

Thanks for the info. Karen I shall not bother with it then although Lady Marmalade seems to have a lot of thorns too.

What a shame Andrew I thought it looked lovely but after hearing from you and Karen not going to bother with it. Will re-think. :O)

Thank you Alanb pleased you like it :O)

Bloomer, it was looking so dull just in that side border that I could not resist digging things out and putting some colour in. it looks much better now - I also added a couple of Cardinal Lobelia so if they survive (they have not done in the past) it should look much better now.

Now I do need a much bigger shoehorn! lol :O)
