    Due to the very hot sunshine and drought we have had here, despite daily watering and deadheading, our Cosmos are almost finished :sad:. Hopefully the heavy rain we had in the night will help some of the garden to recover.

        These are in dappled shade at the bottom of my north-facing garden. They have grown very tall and bushy. The ones in a sunnier part of the garden grew much smaller and are nearly over now.

          @katecat58 Thanks for the compliment :smile:
          the rose you enquired about is called 'Velvet Dream' I got it in B&Q last spring.
