New Dawn Climbing Rose is a classic favorite that bloomed on the scene in 1930. A free-flowering climbing rose, New Dawn reaches a height of 18 to 20 feet, with a width of 7 to 10 feet at maturity. The blooms repeat throughout the season, from late spring to late fall. Borne in abundant clusters, the pretty pink, fully double blooms are ruffled and softly scented with a light, sweet fragrance. They measure 3 to 4 inches wide, display a pearlescent blush, and make excellent cuts for the vase. Just a single snip makes a big-clustered bouquet for the perfect centerpiece. New Dawn is easy to grow, disease resistant, and a little shade tolerant. This highly versatile rose can be grown on trellises, poles, arches, and pillars, trained along fences or walls, or allowed to fountain on its own.

Happy New Year! For my first post of 2015, I thought that I would sneak right past Old Man Winter and focus instead on late spring. If you ever find yourself lucky enough to visit Nova Scotia in spring or summer, you must pay a visit to the Rock Garden in the village of Bible Hill (near Truro, Nova Scotia). Located at the heart of Dalhousie University's Agricultural Campus, the Rock Garden is both a place for botanical studies and a tourist attraction. An impressive four hundred and fifty tons of local red granite were used to create this garden. Covering a little more than an acre of land, the garden has, as you will see, a remarkable collection of plants. In today's post, we begin in the courtyard and stroll through the woodland. Creeping Thyme A close-up of the gorgeous Pink Azalea that you may have noticed in the lower lefthand corner of the last shot. Originally I thought that this was Moss Phlox, Phlox subulata one of my all-time favourite spring groundcovers. But as a reader pointed out, the rounded and not moss-like. I now believe it to be Phlox stolonifera. Wondering what this is? It's a Fern Leaf Peony. It has delicate ferny foliage, and depending on the cultivar, stands about approximately 18-24 inches tall. When it comes to most peonies, the flower is the star of the show and the foliage can be rather nondescript. Here the opposite is true. The foliage is the standout feature and the flower is somewhat secondary. The majority of the Fern Leaf Peonies I have come across have single flowers in shades of red, pink or white. If you hunt around you may find a nursery that also offers Fern Leaf Peonies with double red flowers. Fern Leaf Peonies require full sun and will grow in most soils as long as they have been improved with some organic matter. They emerge a little later in spring than most other types of peonies. A fern with white Candytuft, Iberis sempervirens at its feet. On the left, you can see the pink Peony that is shown in close-up in the next photograph. A Peony with a single pink flower. Bugleweed, Ajuga adapts to full sun, part shade or full shade. In moist soil, Bugleweed will quickly form a dense carpet. It spreads a little less vigorously when conditions are on the dry side. Height: 10-15 cm. If you are considering Ajuga, try looking for one of the newer cultivars that is somewhat less invasive like Ajuga genevensis. USDA Zones: 2-9 These pretty flowers are Spanish Bluebells (not to be confused with English Bluebells, which have similar bell-shaped flowers. On English Bluebells the flowers extend up one side of the stem, whereas Spanish Bluebells have flowers which whirl all the way around the stem). Spanish Bluebells hail from the mountains and woodland areas of Europe and North Africa. They prefer full sun to light shade. Not particular fussy, Spanish Bluebells naturalize well (to the point that they are sometimes considered a bit of a nuisance). They make a nice companion plant for Narcissus which bloom at approximately the same time. Japanese Woodland Primrose, Primula sieboldii I am not sure about this plant either. Any ideas? A Geum or Heuchera perhaps? Update: Many thanks to Patty and Trilliam for taking a stab at identifying this plant. It has been confirmed as Tellima grandiflora or Fringeflower. Candelabra Primrose, Primula japonica is a group of woodland plants with fresh green foliage and a crown of flowers in late spring. They prefer part shade and moist or wet clay soil that is rich in organic matter. Height: 30-60 cm (12-23 inches), Spread: 25-30 cm (10-12 inches). USDA Zones: 5-9 Foam Flower, Tiarella is a close cousin to Coral Bells (Heuchera). Depending on the cultivar, they have white flowers or white flowers tipped with pink that appear mid-spring. Part shade conditions and moist, rich soil is preferred. Height varies slightly according to the cultivar but is approximately 20-30 cm (8-12 inches), Spread: 25-30 cm (10-12 inches). USDA zones: 4-9 At this point, the Rock Garden takes a humble bow. Here's a link to Part 2 in the series.

Beth Chatto Gardens, Essex, UK: Beth Chatto is well known on the horticultural scene as an outstanding plants-woman whose mantra has always been ‘right plant, right place’. Her gardens contain many unusual varieties which are used in highly creative and aesthetically pleasing combinations, with particular emphasis on the role played by foliage. This photo is part of the water gardens linking a number of small lakes. The use of water in English Gardens: Water has long played an important role many UK gardens. Some of the best English gardens have been built around natural water features, such as streams running down secluded valleys or tranquil pools in a rural setting. Many of the grand English landscape gardens use water on a very large scale indeed, often creating artificial lakes that appear to be natural features of the landscape. Other gardens use water on a smaller scale with detailed, intimate planting around a brook or small pool. Even a small fountain or water feature adds a sense of movement to a garden. However water is used in a garden, it adds another important element to garden design. Large flat reflective surfaces give a sense of peace and tranquillity. Moving water bring dynamism and sound – difficult to resist on a hot summer afternoon. Incorporating water into a garden also provides an ideal environment for a wide variety of moisture loving plants, many of which have architectural foliage and provide great structure too. I hope the photos in this set will be of interest to anyone studying garden design or just seeking inspiration for using water in their own garden. © 2014 ukgardenphotos

(aka: Geranium 'Gerwat'; Plant Patent 12,175 Expired) Geranium 'Rozanne' is an amazing geranium that has proven to be an outstanding garden performer...hence, it is one of only a few hardy geraniums ever patented. She was discovered in 1990 in the garden of Donald and Rozanne Waterer of Somerset, England, and released by Blooms of Bressingham. This sterile hybrid of Geranium himalayense x Geranium wallichianum 'Buxton's Variety' makes an 18" wide clump topped, from June until frost, with large, 2.5", blue-violet flowers. We think you should let her do her thing in your garden. Maintenance: In the ground, this superb selection is a very low maintenance perennial. The only thing you might want to consider is to cut the plant to the ground in fall as part of your garden cleanup. The basal rosette will remain evergreen, re-sprouting in spring. Rozanne geranium is quite a scrambler and can overtake smaller adjacent perennials, so there may be a time in the middle of growing season you need to cut it back, which is no problem. Growing Conditions: 'Rozanne' isn't particular fond of shade or saturated soils, but there isn't much else it doesn't like. It responds quite well to rich, organic garden soils. Irrigated gardens are fine, as are all droughts, except those that may be extended with temperatures over 90 for weeks. In this case, some extra water will be appreciated. Garden Value: You'll find this a superb plant to weave in and out of other perennials with no detrimental effects on their neighbors. The lavender blue flowers are produced from spring through fall, for an amazingly long floral show. Natural Impacts: Bees are the dominant pollinator for hardy geraniums.
