ideas please? I have had a cottagey garden for a while now and it looks good for a while then just does'nt and I am finding it just to hard to do it on a regular basis. I want to change it, thinking just nice size bushes and maybe some roses or all bushes small trees? Any ideas of what to buy. I was thinking of a Spirea blue and the red. Maybe a Snowball tree. Full sun, in Auckland clayie soil.

I don't like cottage gardens, they just look like a weedy mess. Shrubs and groundcovers. much "neater". Roses don't like Aucklands full sun, better in part shade. Hydrangeas?
Thanks for that link, what a garden, will read through that later. I love the cottage gardens but they are hard work to keep them looking good. Yes a scruffy mess that is mine now. Am in love with Hydrageas, I have a couple but do they like sun all day? I was thinking of them. My two are in partial shade.

Hydrangeas aren't that fussy. I had some in full sun, never had a problem.
