Wisley & Sissinghurst...

...and finally, part three of David Clark's tour of some of England's best rose gardens; Sissinghurst and Wisley:



Here's a link to HMF if you'd like to look up any rose shown in the slideshow: http://helpmefind.com/plant/plants.php?pt_sys=10

Just beautiful! Wish i was there

Amazing garden photos !

wow stunning

Wonderful pictures David, you must have had a great holiday.

Pity we can't grow these roses up the East Coast of Australia.

Oh ...to have a bit of property.....

Can be a mixed blessing... especially if you have to go to work every day instead of being able to enjoy it. I need to stop work so I can fully appreciate my acres. I would like enough time just to be able to mow the lawn

Simon

I agree. It good to have the land (and I would hate to move back into town) but the time it takes to do thing like mow the grass (3 hours) attack the weeds etc can be a bit of a pain.

Yeah... 3 hours here stretches into a whole day... it's hilly and I only have a push mower.. my ride-on can't make it up the hills... thinking of selling up actually and getting some flat ground instead of this mountain goat country.

Thanks Simon and everyone for your comments. Only just catching up - been sick for a couple of weeks.

Sissinghurst has 5 gardeners and Wisley would have dozens.

I have two acreages to look after and they're both out of control (at least I get paid for one of them:) And I'm about to pay big bucks to get our own place cleaned up!
