New Rose Garden (535 words) |
| Last year's new rugosa border might have started off rosy, but it soon filled up with everything else needing a home - daylilies from one friend, aquilegias from another, penstemons and stachys, lavenders for the bees, alchemilla mollis and euphorbias of the brightest yellow... |
| A pergola would be constructed at the potager's edge, allowing perhaps a couple of Crepuscule roses, and maybe a lavender edging, but that was all. |
| Two trailer loads later I surveyed my new acquisitions - a Margaret Merril, a couple of Sexy Rexy roses, a Lavender Lassie, some Jayne Austins and a Penelope, and a Mary Rose which was simply in the wrong place. |
