              Hi @Anthony Rogers ,
              You're not nosey at all, just interested in people's gardens :biggrin:
              I've got hardies there in the ground - Tom Thumb, Lady Thumb, Mrs Popple, Star Wars,
              Lena, and a few more I can't remember now ... and I put tender ones there in pots for the summer, along the side by the door. They seem to enjoy it. It gets sun up until 1 pm and then shade.

              On the trellis is Winter Jasmine, and soon to be a Clematis which I am going to move from the back garden.

              There are also a few shrubs and hardy perennials and bulbs. It's a bit of a jumble lol

                In all the years I've "known" you on the forums that's the first time that I've seen your front garden! Looks good :dbgrtmb:

                        This rose is called Gentle Hermione.
                        It was given to me in memory of my parents, by their neighbour's daughter-in-law, because they had been kind to her father-in-law in his last years. :smile:

                          That's beautiful. Is it a David Austin?
