It's a wonderful rose called Mortimer Sackler from David Austin roses.

Is there drainage in the brick bed? I would also go for lavender. I'm not green fingered at all so I know it doesn't particularly like clay soil (I had to replace half of mine each year) but I don't think it requires much soil or maintenance. Does the bench fit under the bathroom (?) window? Just thinking its a shame to cover up the stone beneath the window. I'd paint the bench a grey with a purple undertone. I think the lavender will look lovely against the green garage and door and gravel to give a Mediterranean look so I'd also go for an olive in front of the drainpipe. I might also paint the meter box in a warm grey to blend with the brick and have the blue pot in front of that, Rachel's geraniums sound good. Perhaps buy 2 terracotta pots and have 3 pots the other side of differing heights. Perhaps repeat the geranium, then rosemary and a windmill palm (I think these will grow in pots and in the shadier area, hopefully one of the others will correct me if not!)

I like the blue. I would shift the existing print over to the right and have another artwork on the left. Something with a lot of white again and ideally a different shape - something reasonably tall and slim would look good. I would consider painting that table either white or a very pale grey, and instead of the potted plant I'd probably put something metallic gold in the centre (or bronze, brass, rose gold or copper). I might also have the second artwork with a gold frame. That sort of blue tends to work very well with yellow metals. Just a small amount in each case, and maybe an 'antiqued' gold or whatever.

The more 'colourful' the colours are, the more they start to jump about and interact, What this means is that the more blue your walls look, the more orange your sofa will look. The bluer your walls, the more orange your floor will look etc. Warm and cool colours - it's all relative. A hot orange will look cooler when white is added. A blue will look warmer if it is dark etc. You can see from the image below that the contrast in hue between the hague blue and the sofa and floor is quite stimulating, I wouldn't think this room would be improved with a patterned wallpaper. I agree with Daisy that a colour from the paper would make it coherent.

Are you thinking of placing them either side of the front door? Box trimmed into a spiral look stunning, but they will need trimming every now and then to keep their shape. A standard bay tree will look smart though again it will need trimming ocassionally. Fatsia japonica are beautiful but do rather big. If you want some colour Busy Lizzies (Impatients) have lovely pink or red flowers. They are winter tender but will give a mass of colour during the summer, then you can remove them and plant pansies and cyclamen for the winter. Here’s some pictures - in order Box Spiral, Standard Bay trees, Fatsia and Busy Lizzies.
