Hi,
I want something that will be hardy throughout summer and winter and will
not need to be moved inside in frosts. I am thinking of something that
wont
really grow above a metre and a half in height.

I was thinking perhaps a rose tree or some sort of palm tree?

I know this is an odd question, but I know virtually nothing about
gardening
and hoped that someone out there could help me?

How about a wire frame and a Dog Rose?
Elegant, simple and very natural.
