HIGH SPRING IN THE LONG GARDEN, AND A BORROWED ‘CONSTANCE SPRY’ ROSE

My next door neighbour Jenny has ‘Constance Spry’ planted on an arch next to our fence in the vegetable area of the long garden. I adore this rose and so have been waiting for it to bloom for a while now. Its high blowsy presence has created a bigger picture around the rose towers so thank you Jenny! The vivid blue clematis bells on ‘MIP’ are nearly out. As I have been doing flower arrangements inside, I have been collecting the flower petals for drying for pot pourri making when the flowers go down. All this abundance is wonderful, especially now that we are having a bout of very warm summery weather.
