Must say the garden's a mess just now with grass too long and cleavers apparently growing about a foot overnight.
The roses seem to be liking it and a few other things to catch the eye -
Mullein?
This comes like a weed from seed every year, it's a biennial like foxgloves. The silvery leaves are rather nice even in dead of winter.
Yellow Loosestrife?
Quite invasive and I've seen it growing on road verges out-competing nettles, but a nice bold yellow.
Sedum?
This always makes a great show and the bees love it.
Actually I'm not sure it's correctly called sedum, it's a low growing alpine type plane which is quite happy on walls for example.
We've had it for 40+ years to my knowledge.
