Final two roses and a couple of other plants

Having just had a really hot week (for the UK in June), the roses have finished their first flush, so here are the last two.  Above is New Dawn which is a reliable flowerer and scrambles over the arch.

Here it is a bit closer - a pretty pale pink.

Here is Blush Noisette.  I bought this years ago after seeing one growing at Barnsdale Gardens.  It is shoved in a pot but really doesn't get the care it should, although it does get fed twice a year and watered regularly in dry spells.  I cut it back pretty brutally and it still rewards me with these pretty and scented little flowers.  

Here is another of my favourites, a variegated jasmine.  It has a lovely scent and also gets cut back after Winter.  It needs an arch to scramble over, so I must get that organised!

Finally, a grass which I am very fond of, Calamagrostis Overdam.  It has green and white striped leaved and really pretty flowerheads.  It's a very graceful plant.

In other news, I have removed Rose Charles de Mills, which I am a little sad about. It was a healthy rose, with deep red flowers and was doing well, rather too well.  It had started to shade out other plants and it had started suckering throughout the border. It had one flush of flowers in the year, so didn't really justify a place in my small garden and was right plant, wrong place!.  It took a lot of digging out and there are some roots left in the border, so no doubt I will be finding more suckers in the future.  I am thinking it will be replaced with an ornamental grass and some salvias, as it is the sunniest part of the border.
