The rose garden! 🌹This beautiful border has been undergoing gradual transformation over the last year, along with the adjacent herbaceous border. An enormous blob of a Portuguese laurel shrub got the chop, rescuing the original rose planting from excessive shade, and a gorgeous selection of new roses added, along with new Hidcote lavenders to complete the border.
As always, my favourite bit of the job was adding barrowfuls of homemade leaf mould to improve the soil texture in late winter....so satisfying 🧡
