Hello Caroline. The rose is called phyllis bide, it is a popular choice as it has good disease resistance and flowers all summer. Let me know if you need any more info

I’m also looking forward to getting back into the garden. I did a very small amount the other day and cut my first daffodils yesterday. The tulips are coming, but no idea yet what colour they will be. I mixed them all up when I dug them up last year so it’ll be interesting to see what comes up! I’m off work tomorrow so might start planning the cut flower garden. A small section of it is given over to potatoes, but there’s plenty of space for the cut flowers. I did all sunflowers last year as my son got married and I was asked to grow the sunflowers for them. This year I want to go back to the meadow type flowers I had when I started growing cut flowers. Cornflowers and poppies I love. I also got some Bee Bombs which will encourage bees when they grow. I might try growing a few vegetables, but that will limit the cut flowers. The fruit bed is full with raspberries, rhubarb and red and black currants. I’ve always appreciated a lovely garden but it’s only since we’ve been in this house that we’ve had good loamy soil which is easy to dig and is rich in nutrients. So now I’m enjoying gardening in a way I never did before. Roll on spring weather! Angie

Was also going to say that is an impressive list. Much more than I can get hold of 🙂 and I agree that it depends on how much sun or shade the border gets. Which direction does the back of the house face? Had a good look through the list and a lot are seasonal bedding plants such as the lobelia, petunia, marigolds and so on which can still be useful to fill areas whilst the perennials settle in. I’ve compiled a shortlist of what I think could work well assuming it gets a fair amount of sun but even then in my experience choosing plants can be hit and miss. Some may take well while others may not. Primula and polyanthus might prefer a shadier position but it’s my experience that they’ll grow anywhere. Osteopermum, nice plant but better if you’re down south, mine died off in a sharp frost. Peony (slow growing). Risky but a nice plant if it takes well. Platycodon (Bellflowers or campanula), some can grow very tall but some are alpine variety so choose wisely. Lithodora, Cistus (silver pink), Aubretia, Lewisia, Saxifraga, Armeria Thrift, Arenaria, Arabis, Senetti are all rock/alpine plants I think and should do well in that border and won’t grow to high. They‘re quite often used in basket and container arrangements. The Cistus (or rock rose) is one of my favourite plants. Two others that struck my interest are Deutzia Rosea which looks like it stays compact and Andromeda. I’m assuming it’s Andromeda polifolia ‘compacta’ (bog rosemary). Looks lovely and one for my own list. 😊 If you want some taller shrubs/ plants do a little more research as there some good options there. Hope this helps. x

Thoughts on 2nd patio

Hi @lspendl 828. I think it’s a great idea so I’d say go for it! I think the curved trellis would look fab as well. With regards shaping the lawn I think it could look good either way but personally I think I would re shape it as you suggest. It would give more room for luscious planting and soften the view leading you to ‘discover’ the new sitting area as opposed to it sticking out of the border. Do you need a path? Depends on how much traffic you think you’ll get. If it’s just for occasional sitting/dining in the Summer months then I don’t think it will be necessary. Found some more inspo images for you 🙂. @tamp75. Your garden is looking beautifully lush 🙂.

Colour scheme help needed

amy, I think the grey floors can work, light walls will provide the reflectivity needed as floors do provide light, but not anywhere as important as wall surfaces. you can use different shades of colournbetwen the two areas , so lighter and darker shades of a colour will work well. I personally like to have skrtings, archtraves and doors in the same colour as it gives a strong uniform theme. There are paints with a metallic finish around which can give a nice finish as well as the usual F&B paints that everyone loves. check out Eico paints for a different palette of colour including some.metallics or Mylands for some great traditional paint with good colours. good luck with your choices, we all start somewhere and I'm sure you will soon become an expert !! best Rowland
