Here are the rest of the roses, with the exception of New Dawn, which is on the arch and which looks better when Clematis Perle D'Azur is in flower with it, so it will appear another time. Above is Constance Spry, which only flowers once but is impressive when it does.
Roald Dahl is not in the best place as it is shaded by the lilac tree and I will need to find somewhere that gets more sun for it, I think. However, it is managing to flower.
This is a Persica rose, which is supposed to be a good one for our hotter temperatures/less water. It is Eyes for You. I had one of the these before, but it was a spindly plant and I bought a replacement, which is doing so much better.
Another Persica rose, 'For Your Eyes Only' which is a reliable and lovely rose, with flowers ranging from apricot and peach to orange and pink.
Rose Dannahue, planted in a big pot on the north facing side of the garden and seeming to be doing well.
Emily Bronte, which is a pretty flower, but to me, it should have a deep red/purple coloured rose, rich and deep - something like William Shakespeare 2000. This one is a bit 'pale' for her, I feel. However, the bush itself is strong and tall growing, so perhaps that's more like the author.
My most recent rose purchase is Bring Me Sunshine, named in memory of Morecambe and Wise, who used this song as a theme tune.
Finally, the alliums. I am still astonished by the size of these...
I didn't realise I had quite so many roses but as they are one of my favourite flowers, it's only to be expected!
