This Mixed Border scheme has deciduous climbers, trees, evergreen and deciduous shrubs with bulbs as its other permanent plants to provide a permanent structure; which is backed by a deciduous hornbeam hedge. This mixture provides a foliage and flower foil against which these other permanent herbaceous perennials can provide new growth from the ground each year, with the different colours of foliage from juvenile to mature to dying off in the autumn and then an easy maintenance during the months of December-March for removing most of the growth above ground and replacing the plant supports to provide a neat bed in a series of large ground areas. The bedding plants provide the icing on the cake at different flowering time periods between May and November to enhance the overall flower colour scheme. The new bedding each year can provide opportunities to vary the look of these beds. It was disapointing that I did not see and/or identify the flowers during 2013 of almost a third (28%) of these Permanent Herbaceous Perennial Plants - possible reasons shown in Lost Flowers Page with 'Walkabout' Plants and 'Stateless' Plants Page. A table for each month - May, June, July, August, September, October, November - shows the flower photos for each of the 71 parts of the Mixed Borders split into Blue, Orange, Pink, Red, Unusual Colour, White, or Yellow for all the plants. Besides that, you can see from the table below that Red and Pink with Unusual Flower Colours seem to be predominant as flower colours and that these are spread throughout the beds.
I will continue to add the BEDding (started January 2014 - completed March 2014) and then the OTHer Permanent Plants (started March 2014 - completed May 2014) to the table below to show the flower colour planting scheme of the Bedding and the Other Permanent Plants and then its combination.
Me and H. Kavanagh were unable to obtain photos of the flowers of these Other Permanent Plants in 2013:-
Clematis 'Kermesina' was probably removed from East Border 23 in March 2013. In the late 19th century, Onopordum acanthium was introduced to temperate regions of North America, South America, and Australia as an ornamental plant, and is now considered a major agricultural and wildland noxious weed. I would not recommend growing it in your garden, orchard or fields. If you find it difficult to buy Rosa Bonica 'Meidomonac' in the Retail Market like at garden centres or mail-order nurseries, then see WISLEY WISLEY Rose Classification System Page for details on this Rosa Retail Name 'Trade Name' RHS naming system. |

Comments:- The photo at the start of the article shows the Bowes-Lyon Rose Garden and the Mixed Borders. I wonder if you have walked round those beds in April and again in August:-
1. Flower Colour Scheme in the Mixed Borders in 2013 - See table towards the bottom of this page on the right hand side indicating the lack of a coordinated flower colour scheme when you include the Permanent Perennials, the Bedding and Other Permanent Plants http://www.ivydenegardens.co.uk/ and lack of coordinated flower scheme for Permanent Perennials, separated from Bedding and separated from Other Permanent Plants http://www.ivydenegardens.co.uk/
2. Together with missing the identity of 29% of the plants in flower for the Permanent Herbaceous Perennial Plants in the Middle Table http://www.ivydenegardens.co.uk/ 
 3. un-labelled Bedding Plants http://www.ivydenegardens.co.uk/
4. Use a system to select your plants http://www.ivydenegardens.co.uk/
5. Provide plant labels that can be read by visitors http://www.ivydenegardens.co.uk/ See complete waste of money and effort by 60 staff in the Violas and Pansies display at the bottom right hand side of the above page


6. Create bed histories so that next year's students do not make the same mistakes as last years students http://www.ivydenegardens.co.uk/
7. Position Climbers in Mixed Borders so that they are visible when in flower and can be identified http://www.ivydenegardens.co.uk/
8. Speed up safety resolutions http://www.ivydenegardens.co.uk/
9. Do explain to your visitors if you intend to bring in a new Rose Classification System http://www.ivydenegardens.co.uk/
10. Further Plant Label and Path Foundation Comments http://www.ivydenegardens.co.uk/
11. Same plant labelling problems with the heathers in your heather collection http://www.ivydenegardens.co.uk/ 
The same problem with being able to read the plant name in the Alpine House also exists as well as identifying the Tulips in the large bedding trial - the beds were split up using baling twine and labels inserted. When the tulips were in flower, the labels had been overgrown.
 
I would suggest that you personally walk round the gardens once a month in Wisley as a visitor and you will see the degradation of standards as plants grow and mingle together. Perhaps the budget for the plant labeller could be increased so that when the bedding seed is planted in February, the label is available before they are planted out in May.

 The standard of the trials in the Trials Field is superb and visitors can identify each plant in each trial. The labels in the plant trials alongside the Bowes-Lyon Rose Garden get overgrown and the result is beautiful to look at but totally uninformative for the visitor seeing the flowers.

 If I was employed as a gardener at Wisley and I carried out your standard of gardening I would have been sacked years ago.

 You might other parts of my retirement hobby of an educational website informative - it neither sells nor buys anything.

 Best Regards,
 
Chris Garnons-Williams

On 21 Apr 2015, at 15:45, <thegarden@rhs.org.uk> Dear Mr Garnons-Williams Thank you for your recent email to the Editor of ‘The Garden’ magazine. I am the Deputy Curator of RHS Garden Wisley and, given that your feedback principally relates to the garden at Wisley, I wanted to take the time to address your concerns personally.
Plant combinations and colours With regard to your feedback on colour schemes and plant combinations across the Mixed Borders and Bowes Lyon Rose Garden, the appreciation or indeed the dislike of certain groupings and colours is always going to be highly subjective. Whilst some combinations are clearly incorrect from a horticultural perspective – for example not mixing drought tolerant plants with aquatic plants – I believe that there is no absolute right or wrong when it comes to colour mixes. Nowhere is the saying ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder’ more true than in gardening. As I regularly conduct guided tours of the garden, you may be interested to know that we receive overwhelmingly positive feedback about both the Mixed Borders and the Bowes Lyon Rose Garden. I do think that one of the joys of gardening is sharing varied opinions on someone else’s creations and, whilst I appreciate that these areas are not to your taste, I hope that there are parts of Wisley which you enjoy as your own personal favourites.
Labelling Having read the various label-related points on your website, I do appreciate your frustration at finding an interesting plant with no means of identifying it. It is worth noting that, overall, the standard of our horticultural labelling is considered to be one of the highest in the country, however, no plant labelling system is infallible and sometimes, unfortunately, omissions or errors do occur. To put this in context, there are over 25,000 different plants at Wisley, many of which have multiple accessions, so there are potentially several hundred thousand plants labelled within the garden. In fact, our label engraving team, which is based at Wisley, engrave in excess of 20,000 labels each year, for all four RHS gardens. My team and I are passionate Horticulturists and plants people and we want our visitors to be inspired by the discovery of a plant which is new to them. For this reason, we do our utmost to ensure the correct size and height of label, and position them relevant to the planting, but where they will not be obscured. Unavoidably, as the plants grow, some labels do become hidden by foliage. I can offer my assurance that the gardeners work continually to correct this, time and resources permitting. There are, also, other factors which are beyond our control. As you may be aware, Wisley has over a million visitors a year and, during the daily review, we do find that labels have been broken and sometimes strangely relocated. Interestingly in recent years, we have also suffered from some visitors ‘removing’ the smaller labels, which we presume is the easy alternative to making a written note/taking a photo of the name of the plant in which they are interested. Unfortunately this is very unhelpful to all our other visitors and means that there is a ‘void’ period whilst we produce and install replacement labels. I would say that our plant labelling is a continually evolving and, hopefully, improving process and that, over the whole 200 acre site, the plants are well labelled. Should you need assistance with identifying a specific plant during one of your visits, please ask a member of the garden staff, who will be delighted to help.
Health & Safety Thank you for reporting the issues with the paving stones on the path next to the Mixed Borders. This is helpful, and if you do observe anything of concern during your visits please continue to report it to a staff member or mention it to the Visitor Services Team when exiting. Please be assured that we take all matters relating to safety extremely seriously and aim to address any problems as a matter of priority. We close off any areas which present a hazard and replace or repair any loose stones or those where movement is occurring. If there are paving stones which are cracked but where there is no movement, these will be replaced as part of a wider and ongoing routine maintenance programme. You may be interested in taking a look at the sloping path through the Alpine Meadow which is a new type of surface we are trialling in the garden. This is a ’Flexipave’ path, a product made up from a blend of chippings and recycled rubber, bonded with polyurethane which allows for flexing under pressure or heave, and avoids the cracking and splitting which can occur with traditional resin bonded gravel. The rubber content provides a non-slip quality and increases ‘grip’ for foot traffic.
Rose classification system Finally, thank you for your feedback on the rose classification system which, as you highlight, is not displayed in the garden. The physical signage in the garden is to interpret what the visitors see, with additional brief interesting or stimulating facts where space permits. It’s not feasible, nor intended, for the garden signage to cover in-depth topics such as rose classification systems. The rose classification system can be found in the ‘Classification of Genera’ section, Page 25, in the RHS Plant Finder.
I have read all your comments with interest and can see that you are a passionate and dedicated gardener, and a regular visitor to Wisley. I hope that you will continue to enjoy visiting the garden with all the planned investment in its future, and find pleasure in the plant displays even where opinions on style and design may differ.
Kind regards Matthew Pottage Deputy Curator, RHS Garden Wisley

Clematis 'Elvan' |
"All Clematis fall into one of 3 distinct pruning groups: No Prune (Group 1), Light Prune (Group 2), and Hard Prune (Group 3). Group 1: Early Flowering. Typically blooming in winter and spring, these varieties flower on the previous year's growth only, so if you need to remove damaged stems or control the size of the plant, the best time would be as soon as they have finished flowering. Included in this group are Alpina, Macropetala, Montana, and Evergreen varieties. Group 2: Large Flowers. Typically larger flowers grow out on new shoots from last year's growth in late spring and summer. Some of these will occasionally display a second bloom at the tips of the current year's growth in late summer and autumn. These varieties should be pruned in spring, right back to where there are strong and healthy buds, before they start their active growth period. New flowering stems will be produced from this architecture of previous growth. Group 3: Late Flowering. Group 3 Clematis only flower on current year's growth. These blooms tend to display from summer through to late autumn. These varieties are arguably the easiest to prune, as you basically cut it right down to about 20cm (8ins) above ground level in spring before they begin their active growth period, removing all of the previous year's growth." from Primrose who have produced a new method of raising "Kids in our planters". |

Sambucus nigra f. porphyrophylla 'Gerda' |
When you look at the panorama photos in East Border Part 19 you will note (by 19 September 2013) that purple flowers could be seen on the Sambucus but its plant label could not, because of the yellow foliage of the Cornus alba 'Aurea' in front of it. |
||||||||
Sambucus nigra f. porphyrophylla 'Guincho Purple' |
The Black Plant Label faces the front and was unreadable in January 2013 from the lawn between the 2 Mixed Borders (See index in Mixed Border Other Plants Gallery). The Cornus alba 'Aurea' between it and the lawn adjacent became higher than the Plant Label of this Sambucus by August 2013, so that no flowers of this Sambucus could be identified. |

Grass - "If you are having a difficult time trying to decide which ornamental grasses to choose for your garden, a great place to start is with our Grass Comparison Chart and / or the Landscape Uses page. The latter is available for willows as well. There we have all the grasses listed, with brief information about each one. You can easily compare them to each other for height, bloom time, hardiness, drought tolerance, preferred conditions, etc." from Bluestem Nursery in Canada. |

Biennial - Onopordum acanthium |
In the late 19th century, it was introduced to temperate regions of North America, South America, and Australia as an ornamental plant, and is now considered a major agricultural and wildland noxious weed. I would not recommend growing it in your garden, orchard or fields. |

Solution to Unemployment in Britain:- "The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in Auckland, New Zealand, have taught 3 rescue dogs to drive in an effort to encourage people to adopt and love shelter pets." Besides the trained dogs who aid Blind People in walking, these other dogs could be trained to drive in Britain. Then, when a Blind person wishes to be driven, an unemployed person could earn their benefit by being in the front passenger seat giving directions to the dog who is doing the driving, but not to the dog who is sitting in the back seat alongside the Blind passenger. The Blind person gets social interaction and the unemployed person - in aiding this blind person to go further than that person can walk for shopping or to visit friends - increases their self-esteem and self-worth. The cars are maintained and operated with the dog driver during 8 hours each week by these unemployed. The running costs, cars and car parts are paid for by the local Government Employment Department. |
