Rosa 'Pride of England'

Hello Everyone,

I couldn't resist sharing this, my husband's favourite rose. It's a stunner!

The deep red petals look like velvet, are delicately perfumed and the blooms measure a huge 5"-6" across. About the size of a side plate. 

Lovely, isn't it?

Thanks for looking.

As always, take care and bye for now,

Elizabeth 

Albertine &:Black Beauty

Hello Everyone,

Spotted this beautiful combination of plants through the kitchen window today and just had to share it. 

The rambling rose, 'Albertine', with golden hop foliage against a backdrop of the elder, 'Black Beauty', which is looking particularly fabulous this year. 

Thanks for looking.

As always, take care and bye for now,

Elizabeth

Foxglove

Hello Everyone,

Just because it's so beautiful, here's a photo of one of my self-seeded foxgloves. 

Such a pretty combination of colours. A real bee magnet. 

Take care everyone.
