We are now mid November and despite a gloomy wet start to the month we have been enjoying a few days of warm sunny weather. Today is foggy and damp so I have to confess that I took most of the photos yesterday, but these are all blooming in the garden right now. The big bonus is that the Chinese roses are (nearly) all in bloom: the ubitquitous Mutabilis of course, but also Sanguinea, Gruss an Teplitz, Felemberg. I have threatened the roses that should be covering the pergola - Awakening - supposed to be the same as New Dawn but with more complex flowers - with eviction, so they seem to have bucked their ideas up and are flowering like mad. A stay of execution but I want them to grow taller. The salvias in the new gravel garden have been magnificent as has Epilobium Western Hills - although the salvias are taller and the Epilobium shorter than I had expected hence perhaps planted in the wrong places. Autumn colours in abundance with the cornus and Kaki fruits, even the reeds in the pond are golden.

Lovely photos. Beautiful shades of pink.
Chinese roses are so good, aren't they? I don't mind at all the mutabilis is every where, it deserves to be. No fog here but its clouding up now. Christina
I hadn't expected your garden to look so summery still.
