What about . . . something evergreen like a dwarf conifer so maybe even a small yucca then underplanted with brightly coloured annuals. That way you get to have potted shrubs all year round with extra splashes of colour in the summer.

Re: Just remembered what i put in my pots last year...


Emma, not sure what you mean by patio roses? Ones I'm growing are own-root plants, not grafted; they are older varieties, not modern hybrid teas...I don't know how to post a link to another site, but if you enjoy roses, suggest you Google Heirloom Roses...you'll love the pictures, I bet...my 3 are from there; lovely healthy looking plants when they came last year, and bloomed beautifully...I love David Austin's English roses: crosses with older varieties like Centifolia, Bourbon, etc. to bring the old fashioned fragrance & hardiness with the colors of modern roses. Do let me know if you look at that site & what you think!!

Thanks for the link! Enjoyed the pictures; apparently patio roses are larger than miniature, but smaller than standard...didn't know that! May check my Heirloom Roses site & see if they have any.
