Mme Gregoire du Staechelin is blooming in our garden – much to our delight and joy. She has not been pruned or interfered with for three years and obviously likes it that way…Now that I have retired from working for the nhs and work at my Spinning School full time which I love doing, I have ‘time to smell the roses’ as my cousin Gail said last year when I was so busy and struggling to keep up – ‘You’ve got to have time to smell the roses’. and she was so right. Mme Gregoire is fragrant as well as gracing our garden wall so beautifully.
