for those fascinated by my roses (hi Andrew); the pink ones appear to be blossoming (but not as many as the usual 200) and somehow I seem to have gained some lovely white ones which smell and look gorgeous but, against the white of my walls, don't show as well as the scarlet ones (not yet budding).

When the pink, red and white all come out against the blue windows and shutters they will be splendid and, as always, 6000 Japanese tourists will materialise from nowhere with their cameras.

Nice update Jonathan about the roses would like to see what your roses will look like when everything is blossomed.

Since I moved twice since the last post on JK's garden here we don't have have roses etc but we do have a very nice view of the River Medway which is nice to walk or jog round on a warm day.

Like to see a rose garden round Upnor Garden have a look at Upnor Garden and Chatham Dockyard.
