Intertwined with a Cotinus coggygria ‘Royal Purple’ (smoke bush), Clematis ‘Charissima’.

‘Charissima’

The damask rose ‘St Nicholas’ against a Budleija alternifolia; behind, swinging on its portico, ‘May Queen’, one of the nicest R.wichurana hybrids.

Clg. ’Old Blush’ blooms very early, generously, and repeats at the end of the summer and in autumn.

Creeping through the ground cover R. rugosa ‘Max Graf’, Clematis ‘Lazurstern’ and ‘Ramona’ add interest to this bank, before and after the once-blooming of this rose.

‘Cornelia’, a moshata hybrid from Pemberton,  repeats freely until the frosts.

Clg ‘Cécile Brunner’ an astonishingly vigorous climber exhibits the tiniest perfectly wound up buds. Spectacular mid May.

‘Color Carnival’

‘Maman Cochet’ a sturdy, vigorous Tea.

The standard Wisteria chinensis, one of the features of La Bonne Maison, blooms in sequence above the terra-cotta lynx.

‘Rêve d’Or’, a rambling Noisette from Ducher blooms on its brick wall in the Yucca Garden, and will repeat profusely until the frost, not far away ‘Duchesse d’ Auerstaëdt’ on its arch.

‘Rêve d’Or’

Willam Allen Richardson, a well repeating climbing Noisette, underplanted with Artemisias Euphorbias and Salvias.

R.chinensis sanguinea, the perfect companion for ‘Mutabilis’.
