I require to share a few photos taken on May 28 , 2023 . They are chiefly of therosesclose to the house and of thecottage - stylerose garden . Many of the rose plants were just start up to blossom . In one of the photos , you may be able-bodied to see how the cane were electrify to the star sign in place .

In the enclosed bungalow garden , the grasspathsdivide the garden into four rectangular areas . The brick path hold out all the way around the stunned edges . The edges of the engraft areas looked sharply defined and pertly dig up . I am fond of spade - edged beds in my gardens . The allium was abundant and the roses had some clear flowers but many unopened buds . unflawed purple lupins develop just out of doors of the bungalow garden .

It was a beautiful and relaxing piazza to visit !
