Westerland Roses

In early summer foxgloves grow through the rose Westerland in the front of Island Bed. This is a tall shrub rose with a beautiful fragrance, and repeat flowers throughout the later summer weeks.

Since this early photograph was taken the plantings in the Island Bed have been largely ignored. Of course there has been much growth, and now the roses don't quite have the airy space they used to. I try and make up for this by watering them more - when I remember!

Westerland Rose Flower

When we first came to Mooseys this Westerland rose was already planted in the Island Bed, close to the edge where its beautiful fragrance could be appreciated. Great choice!
