The longer days of June are a blessing with warmer temperatures and increased light levels reflected in the garden’s growth. A highlight for me is to take a stroll at dusk when scents fill the still air and there is just the sound of the last birdsong or bees softly foraging before nightfall.
Though plants are flowering in all manner of forms, it really is a time to celebrate the rose. Shrub forms enrich borders as climbersDesdemona (= ‘Auskindling’), which is also great for large containers, Gentle Hermione (= ‘Ausrumba’) and the strong climber The Generous Gardener (= ‘Ausdrawn’).
