Great pix, Philip! I got just enough rose bushes, but I will try to propagate some of the dwarf varieties. Most bushes looked terrible after the very harsh winter. Parts of the roots are dry and only a couple of green stems poking up.
You're garden looks delightful Philip. I can relate to the plants-growing-like-weeds. We've got foxgloves, a brown-leaved small Geranium, Astrantia and the old, white Vickarage roses (we call them that in Norwegian) sprouting all over the place, and I have to pull them up.
Thanks Calin, sorry to see your rose bushes suffered over the winter,..they being dry is something that never happens here,..soooo much moisture between early morning mists,..drizzle and rain,.. its Mildew we fight on a weekly basis,..followed by Black Spot and Rust,..however using my own mixture of household liquids it fights them off,..seldom do i see Aphids,..i wish you luck with the propagation.

I have started hanging plants on the walls. Thymus citr,'Aureus',--Italian. ( photo / image / picture from Philip Nulty's Garden )

Your blooms look good enough to eat! I don't think you should let me into your garden if I come knocking.
Hi Droopy, funny you should mention visiting,..i have two visitors to the garden today from Maine,USA,..so i am getting used to visitors from abroad. The new addition to the garden,..for contrast in a dark area,..i took cuttings last summer when exploring one of the islands,..it was in a long ago abandoned garden. Fuchsia.

Thanks for the yellow roses Philip! Say.... how are your baby roses doing? Love that fuchsia... I bet it really looks great among all your other beauties. And I LOVE your pear shaped terrarium!
Hi Cheryl, yes that Fuchsia is starting to light up against the greenery,..its about three foot high at present and i am trying to make it grow like a standard type plant. Baby roses,..i kept five for myself as they should be golden orange blooms and possibly a yellow,..shy to flower as yet but they are nearly four foot high. Rose cuttings now at approx 4Ft.

Philip... I hate you when it comes to roses!!! I couldn't get one single one to live... and your's are that big?? You've got the golden touch for sure. Okay... I don't hate you... but I'm sure jealous!
I am jealous and very impressed with your ability to grow anything from seed or from cuttings! You are amazing.
Oh, my! That pear garden of yours is really something else. I love your hollyhocks and larkspurs. I've never seen a hollyhock like that around here. I guess we're too cold for them.
