RHS Wisley – blue skies and sunshine illuminate this beautiful late-November landscape

November 24, 2017 by The Teddington Gardener

Such a beautiful day, yesterday, 24th November, under a bright blue clear sky and welcome sunshine. Chill but quite beautiful. I’d never seen the car parks so full – in fact I was directed over a mile down the lane towards the village before heading cross-country into previously unseen fields before making the trek back up to the entrance. There’s a craft fair on it turns out and being a beautiful day, well the crowds were out in force. Happily […]

A Kew Gardens Miscellany – the Roses (some flower, lots of hips), a glide through the Davies Alpine House and of course, some autumn leafery (see the Ginkgos) …

November 16, 2016 by The Teddington Gardener

An unexpected bit of free time today and lo! A parking space by the Victoria Gate which meant I had to stop – and (first things first) smell the roses. Gertrude Jekyll, Stanwell Perpetual and Madame Isaac Pereire brought High Summer right back on a mostly overcast mid-November day. Soul food. From the Rose Garden, a walk took me through the leaf-strewn lawns to find the grove of Ginkgo trees (amazing) and over past the grass borders (equally amazing) to […]

Roses, roses, roses and a long, long (rose-clothed) Pergola at Kew Gardens… galleries here and some moving pictures!

June 26, 2015 by The Teddington Gardener

This long pergola with brick pillars and timber beams is clothed with some beautifully trained rambling and climbing roses. Beautiful monsters like Rosa filipes Kiftsgate ought to swamp the entire structure and much else besides but with the love and careful treatment these specimens are given, a multitude of flowers hug the cross beams and yet the sky is still visible. I’ve been here in winter and taken note of the placing and pruning of the bare stems – there […]

Spring begins to fizz at Sissinghurst Castle – and the whole show will just get better and better…. @Sissinghurst NT #SpringWatching

April 10, 2015 by The Teddington Gardener

The gates open at 11am sharp and I’m the first to hand in my Shilling token (the price Vita originally charged visitors) to the helpful attendants and I’m flying through, skirting the lawns in front of the Tower and into the woodland Delos garden, before hitting the White Garden (bare bones at this time of year and striking still) – for a few fleeting minutes, I had the gardens to myself! This lady, out in the open now but in […]

Rosa mulliganii – roses and the Sissinghurst Technique

March 14, 2014 by The Teddington Gardener

Rosa mulliganii, the rose used at the centre of the White Garden at Sissinghurst, threading its way over a filigree pergola. Vigorous, yet delicate and beautiful, a tracery of stems creating windows through into the garden. And (above) here it is in Kew Gardens. A Monster of a Plant…. A huge abundance of bright rose hips smother the dense mounded thicket. David Austin have it right when the describe this rose thus – This massive rambler is one of the […]
