The Summer Garden is unfolding at Knockrose
Two really old (about 60 years) Philadelphus varieties are in bloom now and worthy of a visit. One is single and the other a ‘quill’ type and both have lovely scent although you may need a ladder to get to the ‘quill’ type! I haven’t been able to name them and neither can the Botanical […]
Hurray! Roses are appearing in Knockrose!
At last, the roses have decided to peep out now that June is just around the corner. Madame Alfred Carriere has been out for a week or so and now Etoile de Hollande is hot on her heels. A fabulous blue clematis (name unknown) is coming out to complement Rosa Buff Beauty. COME VISIT KNOCKROSE […]
Aquilega caterpillar attack

Knockrose is open for visitors who come to see the super Art Exhibition here

Well I never saw anything like it – last week it looked like the tulips in pots would take another week or two to appear but suddenly they came into bloom overnight. Now they are blooming so quickly that I fear they will be gone in a day or two. I’m also amazed by the […]
Scents for the Soul
Hurray, at last the weather has become warm, sultry and sunny! The smells in the evening garden are amazing – the sweet vanilla-like fragrance of the huge Pittosporums and the powerful scent of Honeysuckle follows me everywhere as I wander through in the twilight in search of the Garlic Mustard weeds. Their tall white flowers […]
Pond troubles
2 months ago our pond was clear and you could see the newly hatched tadpoles – now it’s like green soup and there’s a definite pong when we switch on the circulation pump! Not sure why this has happened as the balance was okay last year except that blanket weed had appeared in it. One […]
