Recommend a rose in between WS2000 and South Africa
Comments (18)4' would be fine...and the beauty is that 'Blue Chip' is an excellent low-growing sprawler...I have about 4 of them tucked in spaces around roses where I need a splash of blue/purple. They bloom all summer/fall and I found they are very winter hardy. Just a haircut in the Spring and they start blooming. Just a hint, though...they are lazy and might take awhile to bud out...so don't be too hasty to yank them if you think they've died. I had one that I thought didn't make it through the Winter but I over-pruned it in the Spring and it took it awhile to bounce back. It was late June/July before it woke up and then it went bonkers and started growing like its siblings to make up for lost time. An added bonus is the beautiful butterflies that will haunt your garden......See MoreThe Biggest Clematis Show in Africa

Comments (1)I live in a Mediterranean climate and most of my plants are from S. Africa and Central and South America. There are a lot of interesting bulbs and succulents (aeoniums, aloes etc) from S. Africa that may work well in your climate if you have fast draining soil. Things to consider planting are: Succulents for borders Alstroemeria  make good cutting flowers - Brazil Blood Lily (Scadoxus (Haemanthus) puniceus)  S. Africa Hippeastrum Homeria (Cape Tulip) Lavender  Mediterranean Rosemary  Mediterranean Allysum  Mediterranean  fragrant and makes a nice border Centranthus ruber  Mediterranean Lavatera maritima - Mediterranean The below link is to my garden and that may give you some additional ideas.
