My wife and I started gardening in Fukuoka (Japan) in 2003. There was nothing but muddy clayey sloping land. At the beginning we made several structure such as steps and paths, and planted turf, fruit trees, roses, herbs etc.
In 2010, we visited several famous English gardens, including Sissinghurst Castle Garden, Mottisfont Abbey Garden and Hidcote Manor Garden. We were shocked by the glory of those gardens. Since then, we have been trying to make small but glorious gardens by ourselves.
Dear Poirot Gertrude Jekyll is my favourite rose too - delicious scent and and beautiful flower. Mine won't be in flower until June, so I am enjoying the picture of yours. Best wishes Ellie
Dear Ellie I first met Gertrude Jekyll rose at a local nursery. It was flowering, and I was fascinated with its beautiful pink colour and a wonderful scent. I was enchanted and bought it at once. I really love it.
