The medium-sized flowers are in the form of beautiful white pompons. They are held in large clusters and produced in great profusion on long, graceful, almost thornless growth. Each flower has many petals perfectly arranged around a small, green, central eye. There is a sweet and powerful fragrance which fills the air. ‘Mme. Plantier’ has a graceful, sprawling, mounded habit, with pale green leaves. Grown as a climber, the billowing flowers make a wonderful sight. It is a very healthy, tough and reliable variety. (Plantier 1835). 5 x 5ft or 9ft as a climber." - David Austin Roseshttps://ravenscourtgardens.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/img_1248.jpgSalvia greggiThe first blooms on the saliva greggi. https://ravenscourtgardens.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/img_0907.jpgSweet Alyssum and ornamental red cabbageThe Sweet Alyssum and Ornamental red cabbage are still going strong and have looked lovely for months now.https://ravenscourtgardens.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/img_1057.jpgVeilchenblau and Indigo spires.'Indigo Spires' sage is a vigorous hybrid prized for its 12- to 15-inch-long, twisting spikes of dark violet flowers.
