"Didn't they just remove geraniums from the Rose Garden?" I can hear you thinking it, see blog entry 'Changes To The Rose Garden', 15th November 2012. "Why are they putting geraniums back in again?", good question! Well, the geraniums that were removed had got far too big and were competing with the roses and starting to strangle them, not good for a rose garden. Not adverse to geraniums, it's third time lucky, this time with the more compact, pink Geranium, Geranium sanguineum 'Ankum's Pride'. Hopefully this is now the right plant in the right place and it remains compact, only time will tell.
