Cerise Dahlia

My dahlias have rather randomly appeared in different parts of the garden. This cerise beauty lives underneath the Graham Thomas roses in the Jelly Bean Garden. I can see its flowers from the house decking.

Late in the summer the dahlia and roses will flower together - this is an inspiring colour combination. Graham Thomas is a soft butter yellow rose. Provided my watering system works the cerise dahlia will last well into May, which is late autumn.
