Answer 2

Dahlias are late flowering, you lift the roots for the winter and replant next July. There are loads of different shapes, colours and sizes.
One plant that goes really well with roses is Lavendar, I'd use Munstead Dwarf. The scent helps keep aphids off the roses and the colour scheme is usually complimentary.

Answer 3

you should install French Drains, that are in reality clay pipes that sit down on the bottom of the mattress, and lead extra water out of it. if you're careful, and do not over water, you could purely cope including your mattress like a enormous pot. The walls remember on what you attempt to do, and how extreme you're construction the mattress. i love concrete blocks, in my view, in spite of the indisputable fact that it relies upon on your funds and tastes.
