Daisy your Sombreuil is gorgeous! Stunning! I’m drooling it’s so pretty! I planted Sombreuil last spring and it has already become one of my favorite roses, it’s been growing tall and blooming, I am excited to see yours, it makes me hopefulto see that mine has the potential to be just as glorious in several years. Your garden is just so a gorgeous, it looks like a piece of paradise. Thanks for sharing your garden with us, I am truly moved by the sheer beauty.

Quite magnificent Daisy, all round actually, as I know we keep telling you..

I also like the little bank of Erigeron getting into the photo there..

It's funny but when you show us this arch, I always thought it was 'Teasing Georgia' you had over it.. then at other times I see 'Marechal Niel', so I can only conclude that you must have several of these arches yet in my mind I always think it's the same one... it has me perplexed... in the nicest possible way..

Wow! Everything looks so happy, Daisy, and beautiful. Cori Ann, yours looks great too. Great inspiration.

Daisy, your garden is the epitome of loveliness. I wonder if Sombreuil ever had an "off" season in the winter, but it's definitely "on" now. I know you have at least two arches because your Marechal Niel is on one and is indescribable.

cori ann, Daisy's garden has been established longer than yours, but I'm sure yours will be equally magnificent in a few years, in its own way.

Daisy, your garden is heavenly! It must be so nice to enjoy the fragrance while sitting on the bench. I hope mine will be as beautiful as yours one day as I have it growing over my outdoor sofa:

Cori Ann, can't wait to see your Sombreuil climb over your gate.

Marlorena, I do have Marechal Niel over an arbour with a seat under it. I also have Teasing Georgia over a very short pergola. I love them all and they are all scented, but Sombreuil's perfume is my favourite.

The Erigeron karvinskianus flowers all spring, summer, autumn and some of the winter here. It self seeds, but is easy to pull out where it is not wanted. I used to admire it decorating the steps at Great Dixter.

Cori Ann, Your Sombreuil is gorgeous. Yes, I have one each side of the arbour. They have been there now since 2011. They were in pots waiting for the arbour to be finished before that. I also have some small, flowered Mandevillas not yet in flower growing through them.

Ingrid, Sombreuil doesn't flower much in winter here thank goodness. It gives me a chance to prune it and tie in the new growth.

totoro, you will enjoy sitting on your sofa with the perfume of Sombreuil above and around you, when it flowers.

Daisy

Mandevilla is a great idea to wind through Sombreuil. It’s just beautiful Daisy. :-)

Oh goodness, more beautiful pictures! Swoon :) I love seeing your garden Daisy!

Daisy, l love the look and as usual it is beautiful and breathtaking. I can only imagine your landscape. Every pic looks great and done really well. I only wish my garden looks a quarter nice like yours...I will be so happy :)
