Luc, beautiful plants, especially the Asperula daphneola.  I think I tried that one once without success.  How do you grow it?  As I recall, it never came through the winter.

Thanks for the kind words, Franz and Anne !  :)

The Asperula is grown in a crevice between tufa rocks Anne - gets a pane of glass above it's head in winter too....

Rose 'Eddie's Jewel', a hybrid of Rosa moyesii:  12 feet tall on a 6 foot fence.  This was started as a cutting in 2008.  If allowed to climb a tree, it will reach 30 feet in height, an extremely impressive sight.  Behind the rose is grand fir, and behind the fir is black locust in bloom, attracting thousands of bees.

Here it is up in the trees at my place in Portland:

Linnaea borealis blooming under the firs, with Cornus canadensis in front and Disporum hookeri in back:

Another group of Linnaea:

The Cornus and Disporum were grown from seed.  Linnaea is one of the few plants that I start from cuttings, since I can never find the ripe seed.

I love that rose - not one I have seen before- very impressive growth and a great colour .
Too big for my garden but I love it!

Lesley,
Unfortunately allow my health and age no longer travel.

I'm sorry about that Franz but I can still count it a privilege and pleasure to know you a little here, on the Forum. Thank goodness for such a wide-ranging and international place where we can all meet. :)

Gene, your rose is FANTASTIC!! I've not met this one either but will enquire after it at every opportunity. Do you have any idea how tall the form moyesii 'Geranium' might grow? I have two ordered, expected next week and haven't really decided yet where they're to go. But if they could put on that kind of height, maybe into our large pear tree, currently host to a vigorous ivy whose days are numbered. There are a thousand ivy seedlings underneath it and climbing up both, Tropaeolum speciosum. There were a lot of smallish pears in the autumn but blackbirds got every one long before they showed any sign of ripening so to cover the lower part of the tree with 'Geranium' would be no loss, fruit-wise.

I don't know what idiocy struck me on Tuesday but I ordered half a dozen roses which I had NO intention of doing. Not only that, they are all in bluish, mauvey colours which I don't really like in roses. It all started I think with seeing a magnificent plant of 'Rhapsody in Blue' on an OAGG garden visit last November.

I don't know anything about 'Geranium'.  I have some of the R. moyesii species, and they get about 6 feet tall.  But the flowers aren't that good, at least on my plants. 

Another rose that grows into a monster is R. brunonii, which is a single white, shown growing here next to Eddie's Jewel.

402458-0

This is one plant, as is the Eddie's Jewel.  This is just starting to bloom.  In a week, it will be a solid mass of white.  The black chain link fence is 6 feet tall, so the brunonii must be at least 14 feet tall.  It was a rooted cutting in 2008.  This rate of growth is difficult for me to comprehend.  But you won't get it unless you take good care of them.

Eddie's Jewel is described as having a short period of bloom.  But in my climate, it blooms for about three weeks, which is OK with me.
