... colour to a boring hedgerow around the garden, a climbing rose will grow in most places and will soon make itself a dominant feature to your edges of the garden. I love the pinks and have pink and white varieties around the hedges of my garden, not only does it brighten up the place, it also makes people think twice about climbing over your hedges as these can leave nasty little scratches for any intruder. I find the best and quick growing climbing roses are :- Rosa x harisonnii, which is a lovely bright yellow, the Rosa...more

Roses I read in a paper the other day that the rose had been voted the most popular as the gardeners favourite flower and I have to admit it’s one of my favourites as a visit to my garden would show you the many varieties I have growing. The rose has been popular since the middle ages, it was grown in monasteries for medical uses and also for their religious ceremonies. This was an old type of rose which was a cross between the French rose and the wild roses and of course the old Lancaster rose, after lots of cultivation and many years of rose growing there are now lots of different kinds of roses to choose from if you’re a fan of this lovely flower. ...

A Favourite Thing: Roses (1500 words)

"Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens" When I read Jill's message that song popped into my head and refused to go away until I wrote about one of my favourite things. There was no category for rainbows or butterflies so I have chosen roses. Roses have a depth of beauty beyond mere vision. Beautiful, scented and delicate they also have thorns. The rose is a mysterious metaphor for all aspects of life and love reflecting both joy and sorrow, bitter and sweet within the same oneness. There are too many myths, legends and stories about the rose to even think of capturing its essence in this opinion but can you imagine poetry existing ... Read the complete review

For Jill ... My favourite thing? Well after much thinking, sleeping on it and thinking some more I 'think' it's got to be love. No, please don't groan, I'm trying to be serious. "Yes, but what has this got to do with roses?", you may ask. Not a lot I suppose, but there isn't anywhere else I can write about love so I'm going to use the rose symbolically, if that's okay. The rose will be my Symbol of Love. I'll make sure that there are free sick bags available at the end of the opinion for those of a less sensitive nature. Have you ever meditated while looking at a rose? ... Read the complete review

I have a confession to make. I tend to go off the beaten track a little. Occasionally. Oh, you know that already? Well, it will come as no great surprise to discover that this is not about the large flowered Hybrid Teas, which are all most folks think of when they think of roses. No. I reckon they are so well known, they can speak for themselves. I’m going to speak up for the lesser known ones; those members of the rose family lurking quietly in the background, patiently waiting for their moment of glory. Let me introduce a few. ROSA RUGOSA Sometimes known as the Ramanas Rose, Rosa rugosa is widely planted as ... Read the complete review

Roses, roses all the way… Shrub roses come in a great variety. There are types that grow tall and some that can be used as ground cover. Some are termed as ‘old fashioned’ having been around for many years, others are known as ‘modern’. Generally speaking, shrub roses need less attention than other types. Although they do need some pruning it is usually only to keep the bush in good shape and condition, cutting away the dead wood etc. The ground cover variety is relatively new and can be planted to spread across the garden rather than up – obvious from the name, of course! They will happily ramble over banks making a mass of fragrant ... Read the complete review
