Armistice Day, reflecting on the service and sacrifices the Armed Forces make on our behalf.

Hello November, hope you’ll be kind weather-wise.
‘Mutablis’, still flowering late into the season.
A bloom doesn’t last long but each one is pleasing and appreciated by passing tiny hoverflies.

Over on Substack, Jo Thompson (the garden designer) listed a few recommendations for bare root #roses.
Here’s a few of ours: Peach Melba (climber) It’s A Wonderful Life, Coral Gardens (both shrubs) & A Whiter Shade of Pale (hybrid tea). All highly recommended.

‘Solid as a Rock’ Persica hybrid #rose bred by Weeks.
Available from jonestherose.co.uk.
Puts us in mind of the hit song ‘Solid’, aka ‘Solid as a Rock’. Ashford & Simpson, 1984 (yikes!)
‘And now it's solid
Solid as a rock
That's what this love is
That's what we've got…’ 🎶
Oworm! Have a good day.
