Grow roses and herbs in my garden

I have a new herb bed, and I was able to pick them today and put them in a salad, and it was scrummy

and I have to date, 7 types of roses in my garden and i have only managed to kill one from last year, so not bad going!

This one in the picture, is from a bush I bought last year, but only got around to putting in the ground last month, I had to cut it as it had filled with water on the bush and had bent double and was looking mournful, so i snipped it quick and put it in a glass of h2o, it looked a lot happier after that!

The front garden beds are really coming into their own this year. The roses (rosa rugosa and a hardy and heavenly scented pink bush rose) are lovely (and at night when they are blooming my bedroom smells so beautiful) and the lavender, lemon thyme and mint add to the fragrance and beauty. I’ve added more iris, anaemone, poppy, peonies, annuals, and daylilys. I also continue to grow my tomatoes (including heirlooms like Black Krim) in with the flowers and herbs like oreagano, sage and basil.

I added more lavender and a new rose (rosa rugosa, a very hardy variety and one that still has a very strong scent) to the front bed last year and it seems that they’ve all survived the winter.

but have added rosa rugosa, lemon verbena, lemon thyme, sage and rosemary. I want to add even more,

Nothing more beautiful than picking your own fresh herbs for your perfect home cooked dishes. Basil, Rosemary, Parsley, Oregano the list is endless Do it well worth it :)
