Of course, one can't stop there! And as David Austin has bred so many new plants that "echo" the old types, I had a few of his, too. Somewhere approaching 100 roses, though several were repeats, in different parts of the garden.<br />and it was not all roses! Bougainvillea scrambled up eucalypts,honeysuckle escaped and threatened to take over the whole damn' place. Quisqualis(aka Rangoon Creeoer) went bonkers and shot up the galvanised poled that held the tv aerial.If there hadn't been a major rugby match on telly we might have ignored it!<br />Huge thanks to IDV for sorting out all this. And props to the gardeners.dinahmowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00052642938090553088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17645685.post-28021453176225249452021-11-28T01:40:34.668+00:002021-11-28T01:40:34.668+00:00You have done us all proud, dear IDV!
