    Thank you for your help with names.
    I know the one part of a hedge is prunus and that is all I know. Also what do you suggest to do with the conifer? I think I want to shape it in a sphere as well. And I belive it all will look like oneness together.
    I know that roses are badly trimmed but here is the same story as before. I just didn't know they should be cut almost to the ground..

    Working down the pictures.....

    1) Ash
    2) Hedge, second picture possibly Laurel
    3) Honeysuckle. Following picture possibly Jasmine
    4) Bergenia (Elephant's Ears) Don't know second picture
    5) Can't remember this one. It's problem? Probably dying and unlikely to recover as it won't produce new growth.
    6) Possibly a Saxifrage

    If you look at the top threads in the 'Roses' forum they will give you information on how to prune and look after roses.

    The lay-out of your posts are fine but when posting pictures please number them all so that it doesn't create confusion when replying. :)

    Number 4 second picture - could it be willowherb?

    You are not all that far from me really @sebastian K. - probably less than 10 miles as the crow flies :)

    Number 4 second picture could be Golden Rod. Second picture of number 3 is winter flowering jasmine. Second picture of Number 2 is some form of cotoneaster. The conifer in number 5 will unfortunately never grow back where it has died off. Your options are either take it out completely or trim off the dead bits and then plant something else next to the gap to fill it in. I suspect that at some time in the past there was a plant growing up close to it that has caused it to die back like that. It looks like a nice project to be involved in! Gardening is a great way to meet new people, you will find that people will be happy to chat to you when you are working on the beds! Enjoy yourself!

      Hello All,
      I just dont know what to say to explain my absence for one month. Just couldnt make it.
      I am sorry about that.

      There are some changes to my project. Actualy, I will continue doing it as I planned but I realised that publishing everything here is rather pointless. It takes my time and what is even more important yours! and what I found out is that quite a big number of plants I am able to recognize myself.

      That is why I close this topic here and next time when I am not sure about the plant I will simply open a new, short topic which in 100% will relate to this section - identification area.

      Thank you in advance for your understanding.
