| we have rearranged our small front garden and in the centre of a tiny paved area through an arch I have a classic style pot on a pedistal about1.5 metres high.
I am hoping for a pinkish rose to droop over the sides of the pot. Any suggestions or help from you clever folk as I seem to have run out of ideas. jen |

| Something with long, flexible canes, that showers pink blossoms through the year? Do you like single or (semi)(double) flowers? How big is the pot? Many, many choices are there ... and it all starts and ends with the flower type and growing habit that you like. Why don't you go in your nearest nursery and see what they have? You're from WA, so Melville Nursery, Roworths and Swiss Rose Garden are best choices for you. |

| A groundcover...Pincushion? Because its low (30cm high), but a little wide at 75 cm Midpink, double flowers, has that spilling over ability but not really weeping or climbing. I don't know if I'm taken with the idea of a plant that resembles an oversized pincushion, but it might work well for a teensy pot. |

| The Fairy is in a similar situation here in my garden and has flowered, and flowered, and flowered. I don't think it completely lost it's leaves over winter last year, and I can barely recall itwithout bloom. |

| Sparaxis, yes I'd have thought the fairy too because it does everything that is asked:climbs, hangs nicely, is pink and blooms well....but I thought with a potential to get to 90cm you'd need a hefty urn for the root system. |
