I've got one climbing rose to go in by the patio (rosa mutablilis) so am looking for ideas for roses and clematis for by the patio and the shed.

Your Dad is a good one isn't he? FWIW If you're going to be sitting out in the evening I would go for white and pale flowers, they glow beautifully in the half light. I like Clematis armandii apple blossom for winter interest (flowers feb and smells fab), and what about Philadelphus Belle etoile and some white nicotiana for scent in the summer evenings? sorry spellings prob wrong.

I have one on the arbour in the left front garden. It has taken two years to get established and flower but this year it is superb if you want to see a picture on facebook Greenbee?

Good climbers for me here have been the evergreen winter honeysuckles (winters beauty and fragrantissima), and any of the alpina clematis, especially Francis Riva. I have two chocolate vines which are doing really well. I havent a lot of scope for climbers here hence the obsession with arbours.

I drool my way through the David Austin climbers but they dont grow well for me. I am trying Generous Gardener again this year for one of the new arbours.

I am just rushing through the essential cleaning with a view to spending the rest of the day outside

Triker you are naughty forgetting your meds - do you use a reminder on your mobile? you know they help so try to be a good patient!!!! My tube site is still being a nuisance but the reulsts are now back and there isdef an infection so going to pick up AB's today to get it sorted and then hopefully the hole will heel over - fingers crossed!
Morning Aunty - well its not lookimng very hopeful yet - hope it does get better - the weeds are loving the wet and wee blasts of sunshine:eek: If you have done evrything possible then i will give you 5 stars if you come back and tell me you have done soemthing in the back room!!!!:rotfl:I am in a generous mood!!!:D

hex I love hearing about your garden - it sounds wonderful and I can tell how much you enjoy it - you always sound so enthusiastic about doing things in it.

Ooooh, what's a chocolate vine? Do you get a good harevst of chocolate?

DH built me a curved trellis a couple of years ago - I'll did out some pics later I'm looking for more climbers to cover it.

I've told myself the gardening is more important than anything else, although I will stop to reload the WM and hang up laundry every so often. Cleaning can wait till tonight. It's not sunny today, but is still dry so I should get the turf filled and some stuff planted. Need to go out and buy a cheap kitchen knive to cut the edges of the beds... but will do that later.

Thanks for all the ideas... once I've planted what I've got I'll go shopping
