Rosa Tradescant
May Feast – The circular rose bed
This bed was planted in 2009. It consists of 4 varieties of Rose, quartered in the bed; in the centre is a standard Fejoa. Between the roses, and wanting to take over completely, are masses of Gaura lindheimeri. In front of the Gaura is Stipa tenuissima and geranium that I think I would like to propagate to add in front of all of the roses for continuity.
Both Tradescant and William Shakespeare have a delicious perfume, quite intoxicating.
