We found some very interesting old metal cart wheels in the garden under a ton of brambles. So we thought we'd use them for an up-cycling project to support the stunning Japanese Rose we uncovered during our cottage garden work. Next year they will look even more stunning once the rose has been a bit more trained and tamed.

Our white Camelia always blooms a solitary bloom every year but not this year, there are an abundance of blooms, which hopefully will survive the frost that is forecast. When it opens is always has an amazing shape to its interior. The red Camelia's have never blossomed so this year is very special as both plants have lots of buds on and they are all beginning to open. A wonderful rich red colour.
