I love a beech hedge. We have it around our whole property, it's lovely in the autumn too!

Hahahalol!@everywhichway..since your photo is marked 'sensitive content ' I thought it might be an early morning photo of you in your dressing gown whilst dancing in your garden....fortunately instead it was your gorgeous cannas so lovely and brilliant
@AnneKipankitoo those roses are exquisite!
Did anyone read the thread titled 'what was unexpectedly taken when you moved house that was supposed to be in the purchased price '? I found it quite funny when one poster said she was definitely taking her David Austin rose to her new home if she ever moved and others found that all the plants in their new gardens had been removed by the vendors....i can see their point!

Yes, sorry about that SP - I must have pressed the wrong button or something! Too warm here for dressing gowns at the moment though!

Sweetpea1532 · 07/09/2023 13:34

@everywhichway it added a bit of intrigue to my early morning

Lottsbiffandsmudge · 07/09/2023 13:54

Gorgeous roses! I don't have any but feel I may need to get one!
Those cannas are also stunning

Both of these were reduced plants - the fuchsia completely died back over winter, there was just the tiniest nub of green coke spring & now it's looking fab.
The Nemesia smells amazing - it's Wisley Vanilla & you get wafts of vanilla as you walk round the garden.
Also found two new plants growing in the garden today - a pink snapdragon & a red deadnettle, so I'm very happy! They've self-seeded as we have neither but have been doing no mowing all year & making the garden as nature friendly as possible. Its fascinating finding what pops up when you just leave it. Next project is a nature pond.

Gorgeous @APurpleSquirrel ! Love the dark purple fuschia.
When I moved into this house a year ago the entire garden was concrete 😔. Have done a lot of work to it and the DCs and I cheer every time we see a bee or butterfly 🦋. We also get lovely wafts of lavender, jasmine and roses. I did the garden before I did anything else!

AnneKipankitoo · 09/09/2023 11:05

That is a lovely purple @APurpleSquirrel , you are right @Spookymormonhelldream

Delighted to hear Monty Don talking about nicotania on GW last night. I'd dug out a few that had self seeded and was carefully nurturing them while worrying they were far to late in the season for them to flower - planted them out a few weeks ago and flowers ahoy. They are very small but still charming I think. I love the leaves and their sticky surfaces & musky smell.

Late flush of roses - Gertrude Jekyll, Lady of Shallot and a Carolina miniature rose, taken from a cutting from my grandad’s plant by my late mum, about 45 years ago. I look after it like a beloved elderly relative.

That first orange rose is just perfect @LunaNorth - gorgeous!

APurpleSquirrel · 09/09/2023 20:38

I'm very jealous of all your beautiful roses. Mine haven't done well this year, I'm very much a beginner with roses - but am finding them very temperamental. Several have yellowing leaves; others have black spot; one had a weird orange mold & another that was doing really well has just dropped all its leaves!

AnneKipankitoo · 09/09/2023 20:49

Rust ? @APurpleSquirrel .
I had hollyhocks years ago that I was forever spraying because of it.

Autumn aside, I’ve had some plants drop leaves this week. I think it’s heat stress.

Prune the roses right back in February and they should be ok. Some of mine have black spot too.
