I’m singing in the rain/ Just singing in the rain/ What a glorious feelin’ I’m happy again/ I’m laughing at clouds/ So dark up above/ The sun’s in my heart/ And I’m ready for … roses, dahlias, beautiful perennials

June 12, 2016 by The Teddington Gardener

Enough rain today to satisfy Dr Foster, on his way to Gloucester – but here at Petersham, it made some rather beautiful plants even more beautiful – roses of course, the first of the dahlias (and my apologies for not noting their names – next time I’ll look at the Cutting Garden Plan), and a host of other lovelies from the banks of herbaceous perennials. A pretty gallery, little more to add … Doo-dloo-doo-doo-doo Doo-dloo-doo-doo-doo-doo Doo-dloo-doo-doo-doo-doo Doo-dloo-doo-doo-doo-doo… I’m singing in […]

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 […]

David Austin Roses – the who, what, why and when…

May 11, 2014 by The Teddington Gardener

Now that the rose season is almost upon us, I’m refreshing my memory after long rose-less months, of what is to come! These notes are culled from a series of presentations the year before last, covering all things ‘David Austin Roses’. If I find the pictures which accompanied the talks, I’ll attempt to add them at a later date. For now, I’m including some of my own photos (just the named varieties) with an extra gallery to finish of other […]
