Rose Parterre...

Thanks Mum

The sand was about 4/5 inches deep.

 

Thank you Loli ... just what I needed to know

 

Update:....

Well my little Parterre is slowly taking shape,the Buxus were given just a light trim last week for it to fill out more anf I'm leaving the chicken wire in place until it does to stop the chooks and dogs barging there way through.
The first of the Roses are starting to bloom and coming on a treat.I'll update further when more blooms appear



Compte De Chambord...

 

Isn't it wonderful to be able to really enjoy it now after all the hard work you put in last year. It is rewarding your hard work very handsomely indeed loli.
Now, you just need to keep on top of your dead heading

 

Thank you very much @"M" and @wiseowl

It is lovely to see it slowly taking shape.The scent from the Comte De Chambord is magical and already fills the air near the patio which was my intention I can see that spot becoming quite heady when the rest of the Roses bloom....I was expecting it a couple of years to really take shape so I'm pleased with the results so far

 

It's come on really well, you must be chuffed

 

I've just had a quick browse through this thread, @Lolimac you've done a great job , naturally I particularly like the photo with then hens 'helping' .

 

Do you have much weeding between the Roses, Loli, or is the Box keeping out the wind-blown weed seeds?

 

Its looking brill :-)

 

Looking good Lolimac.
On a hot day like today the shadows cast by the tree looks a ideal spot to plonk a chair and enjoy your hard work with a glass or three!

 

There are a few weeds Kindred but nothing a quick Hoe won't sort out.

 

I can't believe how different it looks!! You must be so pleased with it Loli!

 

It's looking wonderful Loli! It's good to see the roses underway too and we'll all look forward to seeing them all in bloom.

 

Thank you for all your kind comments it means alot...
