I believe it to be short lived but so far has survived and bulked up for two years here and I brought it with me, so I'd had it for a year or two before that.

I am amazed at the cirsium from last week - it's not something I have but I noticed them at Chatsworth and was wondering about adding them in due course. But your roses! And the peonies! Sumptuous probably isn't a strong enough word :)I know just what you mean about rose bowls - and any vase with a mesh or holes for that matter ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5059858774072695860.post-62284804724961346592017-06-12T19:08:38.058+01:002017-06-12T19:08:38.058+01:00Sumptuous indeed, Alison!

I adore that 'Rhapsody in Blue'. I have a few blooms on my similarly-colored 'Ebb Tide' rose but I couldn't think what to do with them and I suspect the flowers will be gone before inspiration strikes as heat is in the future forecast.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.com
