| Sharsonterava If you are spade pruning 'teasing georgia', I would always be happy to give it a home as you are only 2 hours away from me. I love the look of that rose and have lots of sun, manure and 5 acres of soil and if things get watered (which is not always easy), I have not had any rose do poorly here. I can offer back a number of irises and daisies but as it is a new country garden, I do not yet have a lot that is multiplying hard. I drive up to Sydney occasionally. Can also offer a lovely country lunch in the garden if you want a day out. |

I can't understand Sympathie only flowering in spring it flushes all the time here.
IF you want a pillar, Paul's Lemon Pillar is just lovely, but why don't you do what the State Rose Garden at Werribee does and plant one each side of the pole - arch. They do this all the time there the feet must only be a foot apart and they flower around each other.
Think of something that would look well together and plant TWO! each side of the post and two on the other if it's an arch. |

Souvenir d'un Ami(tea) dble. med pink with some salmon.
Nur Mahal(hybrid musk)semidble.crimson.
Both in their 3rd year,frequently in flower,little disease,Nur Mahal has just beaten Souvenir to the top of her pillar.As they mature,cut some stems to give blooms lower down the pillar.
