We are bracing ourselves for another heatwave. I do not like the heat, so am not looking forward to the next week. So far, the garden appears to be coping although I will need to be very careful with my watering.
The rest of the roses have now started to flower. Above is Ferdinand Pichard who has a lovely perfume.
Emily Bronte, with her pink and creamy yellow flower.
Blush Noisette, with its sprays of smaller flowers.
The clematis are also doing well. I used to have many more but over the years, they have come and gone. Above is Venosa Violacea, whch is sprawling over the winter flowering honeysuckle.
This is Prince Charles, making his way over the trellis.
Arabella is a herbaceaous clematis who doesn't cling. She is tied in to an obelisk.
Blue Angel is draping itself along the fence and wall.
Neptune is a smaller variety in a pot.
I have been growing different varieties of cosmos and this one is Cosmos sulphureus Polidor. I haven't seen an orange cosmos before, but I like it! I need to get these into larger pots.
