My little rose garden

also we have a huge park accross the road so she prefers that anyway


and this is the mess my garden was in

hope this helps

 

must go to bed if im going to get any work done tomorrow

 

been slowly working through the heights and widths of the roses today and apart from sticking a 4 1/2 ft by 4 1/2 ft crown princess margarita rose at thefront of a border i think i am ok.

dug a load of soil out of the front garden this am before taking my daughter to the play centre. hopefully will get out the back later - will see how she is feeling after her nap. kids are always so pale this time of year

 

I wonder what size pots i will need for alchymist and getrude jekyll climbing and for rambling rector. I suppose the bigger the better? toddles off to ebay....

 

i wonder if icould use a big one of theese on bricks with a brick and crocks inside and holes in the bottom? holds 75 litres of compost

 

weve used them quite sucessfully in mums garden maybe we got thicker ones? ta for the tip though i will keep an eye on them and try and find something more substantial for rambling rector ( i think it is going to have to go in the ground if it can reach 20ft :/

 

Hey woo ur the pro. I am just a novice. I think i will use them for tidying and try and get something more sturdy as the climbers will just blow over. Mum pointrd out a few geraniums is diff to a big climber

 

Woo hoo yay! Just repotted my cuttings into the right compost and braught them indoors and all 7 babies have roots! )

 

I have no idea sorry. I will take a photo for id section when i get a min.

 

I thought this picture of a geranium would help you out CRG.

 

Thanks sheal they are definatley perlagoniums then. Off to rhs website to find out about them...
