I had thought this clematis gone as it had suffered the withering disease a number of times. So when I saw this flower I wondeed which clematis this could be. Until I remembered the "Lasurstern" I had planted. The photo was taken on the 16th of July 2012. The red rose in the background is "Burghausen". The peachpink one above it is "Emelie".

Arvid`s garden, Lista, the 15th of June 2011.Planted this year. In my opinion this is the best photo I have of this clematis so far, so please disregard the disturbing sacks of cowdung in the background. (very useful when planting roses and clematises though) The groundcover here is hosta. The lilac coloured flowers belong to a "Hesperis Matronalis".

A while ago I saw a painting hanging on the wall in the local bar and restaurant and I thought it looked familiar. Until I suddenly realised it was my dining room window surrounded by roses. On top of that pleasant surprise I was given a poster last year with this as one of the photo motives. What an honour to inspire local artists this way! This photo was taken on the 18th of July 2012. The roses seen in the photo are "Coral Dawn", "Louise Odier" and "Rosenresli"

Arvid`s garden, Lista. the 1st of August 2011. The deep pink rose top left is the climber "Laguna" Other roses seen are "Lykkefund", "Aloha", "Etude", "Mme Plantier" and "Purity". Clematises in photo are "Mrs Cholmondeley" and "Rouge Cardinal". The top of the aluminium arche is still bare, but I believe the recently planted Wild Honeysuckle will be able to deal with that shortly.

Part of my garden around the patio as seen on the 1st of August 2011. This late in the season many roses take a break and the once blooming ones are finished. However if you look closely you may spot a cluster of "Dortmund" among the perennial sweet peas, some flowers of "Jacques Cartier", a flower of Westerland and one ditto of "Lilli Marleen". This is a peak season for Clematises, and in this photo to the right is a "Venosa Violacea" scrambling up the Westerland. Other plants in photo are "Lysimachia", "Monk`s Hood" , "Telekia", "Wild Tansy" and "Helenium". Others are not in bloom.

Arvid`s garden, Lista, the 10th of August 2011. My "Back of the house" so to speak has slowly improved over the years. Around a small herbal garden over various arches are rambling and scrambling following roses and clematises: From left to right: Perle d`Azur, Illusion, Mme Alfred Carriere,Antike, Henry Kelsey, Romantika, Alexander MacKenzie and Hansa. Other roses here, not visible or now visibly not in bloom are Roseanna, Awakening,Kordes Aloha, Morning Jewel, Rote Flamme, Laguna, Arndt, Shogun,Westerland,Parade,That`s Jazz, Jasmina, Nahema, Amadeus, Bonica Climbing ,Mozart and some others. Not blooming clematises here are White Jackmanii and The Vagabond. Not visible is Pink Fantasy. The white rose up front looks a lot like the hybrid Rugosa Blanc double de Coubert so much that I am certain it is the one. It was given to me a number of years ago by a friend and member of the local Garden Society as a sucker. She died recently of cancer, but her rose is still there blooming and thriving, as pretty as ever. And I hope it will be for many years to come. This is also a special quality we may cherish in roses or in plants in general for that matter. They remind us of someone.
