How lovely and so very English!

Some of the gardens we saw were sub-tropical in the North Island but became
more English in the cooler South Island. I envied them their fabulous
roses, which were aphid and disease free in every case bar one. And they
told us this is the first season they've had aphids. I was pale green!
