Midsummer Magic














Where would we be without 'Paul's Himalayan Musk Rose'? Five years ago we had to remove this magnificent rose from the branches of it's beloved apple tree. It was a hot summer's day, the severed stems wept as we dug out the roots, which we then wrapped in water-soaked hessian- sacking. It was traumatic for us as well as the rose! Here he is on midsummer's day, in the arms of his new love, overlooking the pond.
