On the north side of the house there was almost only rocks and I thought, from the beginning, that  something must be changed. On the Page Garden2 It was showed what I did there in 1997 and 1998. But small changes were done much earlier and later as well - I mean some beds on the  small depression in the rock. There I have made Dahlia beds. And other, not so small to say frankly - I had built sorts of terraces on the slope which I called for 'Balconys' (Balkonger). I built sorts retaining  stone walls on the slope (without foundation - it was not possible on the rock) and filled in with soil. On the first balcony I planted already in 1995 some heathers, tulps a.s.o. and in October 1997  a rose, 'Freisinger Morgenröte' - and  every summer I planted there summer flowers, mostly dahlias. On the other balcony some sorts of Brooms (Citisus and Genista) were planted, samt small, low bushes and perennials. Later there was planted a ground-cover rose, 'Bassino'. Click on the pics to see them in right size, more and descriptions.

The western border of Yngve´s garden is running along the street, or rather country road. It became more like the street now because it had got asphalt. The road is sloping and the garden is sloping too, toward the road. On the slope the roses were planted once - Rosa rugosa, simple and fully dubble, of crimson colour. They were not in god condition and I was tired to see them. It was untidy there, many weeds and stones. In the spring 1996 I had taken away most of the old roses, pruned the rest of them and ordered new, 14 varieties, mostly of rugosa  hybrids, and some others, like R.pimpinellifolia (spinosissima), 'Susanne', hybrid from Canada. I have built some terraces using excavated stones. I planted the roses, some smal conifers, perennials, alpines and bulbs as well.  Click on the pics to get them in right size and some more, with more descriptions.

TERRACES AT THE ROAD 'GATUTERRASSER'

THE NORTH SIDE ('NORRSIDAN')
