Roses and Perennials

Some exuberant combinations of perennials and roses in the island bed at the top of our garden this Summer.

Achillea ‘Blue Boa’ (it’s really purple not blue), R. Lady of Shalott, Lilies and Veronicastrum ‘Pink Glow' and R. Munstead Wood

Jude the Obscure

R. Jude The Obscure and Salvia uliginosa

Munstead Wood and Veronicastrum

R. Munstead Wood and Veronicastrum ‘Pink Glow’

Rose Munstead Wood is a beautiful rich magenta here in the warmth of Summer and much darker and more crimson in early Spring and Autumn. I love the contrast of the voluptuous rosettes with the glowing spires of the Veronicastrums.

R. Munstead Wood, R. Lady of Shallot, Achillea ‘Blue Boa’ and also glimpses of Stachys byzantina
