Wow - that bed's looking mighty fine @Sheal and I especially like the purity of the girlie pink "Lucky!",
Jenny

 

Sheal, your Rose bed is looking fantastic

 

@Sheal Stunning!

On a less dramatic note ( ) some of my pretties:-

 

I like your Campanula"M". Just up my street that is

 

Thank you Anthony - that particular one didn't self seed, it was a gift, generously given by a kind soul

 

Thanks everyone for your kind responses. Against all the odds in a sandy soil, the roses are doing quite well.

@Jenny namaste, I think Lucky! is probably my favourite too. It's a floribunda and the colour is actually lilac pink. It puts on a good performance right through summer and seems to be a very healthy rose.

 

Great Roses Sheal, they look really lovely and so healthy. Glad to see good old fashioned Iceberg doing what it does best...giving a wonderful display. I don't think despite all their efforts that the Rose breeders have managed to produce a better white Rose than Iceberg. I'm no Rose expert and if they have managed to create something better I stand corrected and would be interested to know what the variety is called.

 

Thanks Silu. I agree about Iceberg, it is the whitest of roses and I don't think I've seen another one that matches it. The only problem I have with it is the fact that Iceberg is naturally a climber and the one I have is a shrub that wants to be a climber. The stems are quite slender and struggle to hold the flowers and later in the season it becomes quite tall, so that when flower stems are finished I prune them back quite hard ready for the next flush of flowers.
