My Clematis came in and I have been busy planting and digging some things up and taking some outta pots that I have been holding for so longggggg..Clematis "Mme Julia Correvon'...that I got from Dan over at Brushwood got planted with climbing Rosa "Eden" on the new Victorian Trellis Bench.
My Kordes Rose "Lavender Lassie" got planted with the other Dome Pillar
Planted Clematis "Blue Light" with My Climbing rosa "Felicia"..I thought the two different colours would make an awesome contrast... I Planted Clematis "Avant-Garde" with Climbing Rosa "Lavender Lassie"
Can you just imagine this vignette all covered with Roses and Clematis..I can't wait....Jeanne
Oh yea..I forgot to mention ..I have climbing Rosa "Red Eden" on the other side of the Victorian Trellis Bench and am going to plant Clematis "Huldine" with her when she comes in next week!!
Oh you are so lucky to have such a beautiful area for your roses and clematis. I've been wanting Felicia, and Eden is so beautiful. What a great bunch of roses and clematis.
I love the bench -- and where did you get those pillars. I could use one of those for my Tess d'ubervilles.
Please can you get some pics of these next year when they are blooming?
Maureen
Maureen..thanks..You know I will be definitely posting pics of my new area..I bought all three of the Dome Pillars at J&P along with the Bench...if they are out..they will get more in because I told someone else and she called and they definitely said they would have more...if not soon..in Spring...I planted two David Austin's "Tess of the d'Urbenvilles" this past spring on my new Rose arbor...I have clematis "Avante-Garde" and "John Huxtable and "Pink Champagne" with those....Here they are ..I just love "Tess"!!....I planted one of her on each side!!..Jeanne

Debbie
Thanks yall!!..I just got Clematis "Huldine" in from Dan over at Brushwood!!..His clematis are vunderbar!!..Look how gorgeous the leaves are!!
Such a delicious dark green!!!..I love the jagged edges..ok, call me silly but I do get off on the leaves of some of the varieties!!
I am going to plant her with Climbing Rosa "Red Eden"..don't you think this shall be a marriage made in Heaven?...Jeanne
'Huldine' is one of the BEST white Clematis flowers and combining it with Rose, 'Red Eden' will be stunning.
I just planted C. 'Versailles' http://www.clematis.hull.ac.uk/new-clemdetail.cfm?dbkey=2974 with a hardy Hibiscus shrub, C. 'Piilu' http://www.clematis.hull.ac.uk/new-clemdetail.cfm?dbkey=374 with Rosa, 'Mister Lincoln' and tomorrow I'll be planting C. 'Royal Velours' http://www.clematis.hull.ac.uk/new-clemdetail.cfm?dbkey=582 with a white & pink Crepe Mrytle tree.
Shirley..I am glad to hear you say that about Huldine...I have seen pics of him for years now in everyone's garden and finally decided to get TWO of him..LOL..You will Love Clematis "Royal Velours"...I planted that one this past Spring.....I have never thought of planting Clematis with Hibiscus but my naughty clematis "Spooneri" has been busy sending some vines through my Tropical Hibiscus...Here is a pic of My "Royal Velours" ...He wasn't as vigorous as most viticellas are to me..but I am wondering if that was because my huge Musa Banana Tree shaded him too much but Musa will be bare for first part of the season after I hard Prune RV and I think he will do better next year
Here is my Tropical Hibiscus that "Spooneri" has some vines wrapped in..I caught most of them and undid but some had a strangle hold on it and couldn't get undone...Those Montanas are something else
Would you believe that I don't have Clematis "Huldine" in my garden! I'll need to remedy that!! Everyone loves the fact that "it has a purple-violet stripe on the reverse which shows through as a pink bar". (copied from C.O.T.W.)
Clematis "Royal Velours" is lovely. Don't forget that you just planted it in the Spring, it will only grow bigger & bloom more next Summer!
Your Tropical Hibiscus is gorgeous! Which variety is it? How do you over winter it?
Shirley...I have had the Hibscus for 10 years in a Pot and finally planted it in the ground last year when I created the new gardens...so it doesn't get over wintered..LOL...it doesn't die down to the ground either...it just puts out new leaves on the old branches...I don't know the name...I saw a site and it said just Double Red?...Here is wjat it looks like during the winter...WOW, seeing that pic makes me realize how much I have done since then..put in a new patio..new bird Patio and the Pergola..
And here is the whole enchilada this year ..It's even bigger now...I have built a pergola to the right since that was taken..you should see it today..loaded full of buds...
