I forgot to take a before picture, so this is an after combined with what was. Yes, that enormous pile of weeds filled that little patch of bare earth behind it, completely hiding - and probably trying to kill - the rose, garlic and chives.
We have quite a large garden and Husband, who is away such a lot, struggles to keep up with it. Especially when I have ideas like - why don't we build a pond, re-structure the rockery, plant perennials, do this, do that - all the time. Oh, yes, I'm a good gardener - in theory.
Now this had nothing to do with me. I just wish I could import its perfume for you.

Lovely picture.
My wife says that when I begin to prune and clean up I don't know when to stop. Guess she is right.
What a beautiful rose. I have a much lowere level of creepy crawlies than you do, though, so I'd never have been able to clear that patch!
that's a lovely flower! beuatiful color :)

Thank you so much for your message. Yes, it's pretty devastating and my place seems very quiet and empty just now.
Lovely rose you have there, too.
Take care and thank you very much, Liz.
