What's looking good in December 2015

What's the name of the pink rose please @Anthony Rogers, is it a climber?

 

Hi Sheal,

Sorry, I can't remember :(
I'll be going to my moms on Tuesday and I'm sure she's still got the label/cardboard bit with picture out of the packaging.

It's an old shrub Rose, so could probably be trained to climb/ramble.

 

The thin stem and single flowers made me think it's a climber.

 

Sheal, i've got it..... I was lying in bed and it came to me

It's " Marjorie Fair ". Wouldn't be any good as a climber, it only grows around 3/4' .

 

Thanks Anthony, I hope that wasn't going to keep you awake all night. Sleep tight!

 

I've just found this picture. I like it's sprawling habit, it's like a cross between a climber and a Rugosa.

 

That's it Sheal. Ours ain't that big though yet. It's only about 6 months old. Cost 99p from Aldi's.

 

Early or not it is always welcome!

First bloom of the season on Canarina canariensis...................




They are much larger than the spring blooms (which was the first time that it had bloomed) and I'm rather pleased as it was a little underwhelming in the spring.

Salvia confertiflora has finally (of sorts) come into flower................




It is about four months later than last year which sums up the summer of 2015 rather well!

 

Hi Longk,
I love the Canarina
Is that an indoors or outdoors one?

 

So far it has been outdoors this year although if there is a risk of frost I move into the greenhouse.

 

First Daffodil...it's a variety called "Spring Dawn". I think it's a bit confused!

 

There are quite a few out around here too.

 

Brugmansia sanguinea...............
