The July Garden

I take my hat off to you Rose. You've done a fantastic job with that arch/trellis.
Your roses look amazing but I hope I'm wrong about the unknown plant...could it be Himalayan Balsam?

that is one mammoth task. well done. how strange re the white rose. has the white growth come from the roots of another rose that has been used as the root stock?

the mystery plant looks like a Salvia but o idea which one.

A big well done from me too, Rose. A really fab job, executed perfectly!!! You’re an inspiration!
Your roses are very pretty, especially your mystery white one! I do love strawberry hill too! Bet it’s a gorgeous scented area!

Very impressive Rose - good job! And your roses are magnificent.

Beautiful roses and the mystery plant is very pretty and I agree with Seaburn, thinking it's a Salvia.
I have moved away from Roses and veering to Clematis after too many years having my arms ripped to pieces when trying to keep the roses under control.

Thank you Julia! When I am in the garden, I forget how old I am! lol
Thanks Waddy! I have other suggestions now of salvias!
The rose has no other roses near it Seaburn, so it remains a mystery!
Thanks so much Kate! When I walk through the arches, the perfume is breath taking!
It is a pity you don't live my side of Lincolnshire in Cleethorpes as you could come for a cuppa!
Thank you Yorkslass!
Thank you Honeysuckle! I invested in long arm garden gloves to save my arms, although I have been caught in the leg before! lol
Thank you Paul! My drill isn't as powerful as the big ones and sometimes have to finish putting the screws in by hand!

Oh Rose I do hope the other suggestions were right and I was wrong. Could you perhaps take a cutting to a local nursery just to be sure?

Hello Waddy! Do you remember my friend Libet who was on here a few years ago? Well, she is a landscape gardener and she always seems to know about any garden plants, so as we have always kept in touch, I have sent her a photo and should hopefully get the right answer! Will let you know!

That's amazing what you have done Rose with the arch etc. :) :)

Fantastic job :) and your garden looks beautiful.

Thank you Loupylou and Katyhelen.

Love all your roses, Rose, and the alstro is a beauty. You are one determined lady!
