Roses from Sissinghurst: the best to grow

When Troy Scott-Smith, head gardener at Sissinghurst discovered that some of the roses that the garden's original creator Vita Sackville-West had planted were no longer growing there, he set out to put them back.

"Vita's own diaries and notebooks, along with catalogues she marked with potential rose orders, have helped us identify many of the roses she grew, while lists left by former head gardeners have provided greater detail," he explains. "We may never find all of the lost roses, but tracking them down and discovering some new favourites has brought great pleasure."

Sissinghurst Castle Garden

Sissinghurst Castle Garden is an open-air green palace with many rooms - miniature gardens. Each room is different in style, mood, colors. Gardeners all over the world use the ideas of this garden in their creations.

The main idea of ​​Seasinghurst Garden is the combination of the incongruous. A regular garden and a landscape garden, strict lines of an aristocratic park and the simplicity of a village garden - all this is incomprehensibly harmoniously connected into one whole in the area around the ancient castle in Kent (England).

Sissinghurst Castle itself was built by Sir John Bakker in 1530, one of Henry VIII's privy councillors, on the site of an ancient Norman estate. Construction was continued by his son Richard.

When the estate was purchased in 1930 by Vita Sackville West and Harold Nicholson, the castle was mostly ruins. The only habitable buildings were the porter's house, the tower, the south house, and the rectory. Gradually, the new owners of the castle, together with their sons, revived Sissinghurst Castle and created one of the finest examples of British design art of the 20th century.

Harold's nature was practical and prudent, which allowed him to skillfully design the landscape, lay alleys and fill the space. His nature required a clear structure and strict geometry of the garden. Vita preferred naturalness, freely filling well-planned areas of the garden with plants. Her flower beds did not have a clear geometric layout, perennials and shrubs, like wild plants, conquered unoccupied spaces. Vita was a talented gardener with a keen sense of the nature of plants. In her hands, everything took root and developed, flourishing magnificently among rigid geometric shapes.

The garden is divided into "rooms" by brick walls and green spaces. All of them are united by arches and passages. Seasinghurst visitors move from one open-air "room" to another, enjoying the views and admiring the nooks and crannies.

Such a clear division of the manor into rooms made it possible to boldly experiment with a palette of colors, not paying attention to the coloristic combination of neighboring mini-gardens.

The ancient brick buildings, walls and medieval moat were not destroyed. On the contrary, they were carefully preserved and these relics of bygone times largely determined the design of the garden. Three new walls were added to them and high hedges were grown from yew, boxwood and hornbeam. These living walls form a kind of labyrinth, like in ancient French gardens, and he leads visitors through the garden in the way that its creators intended, directing the eye to sculptures in the distance or beautiful views.

Over time, the garden was decorated with arches and fences of climbing roses. Flowering shrubs and perennials dictate the color scheme of each room. All Sissinghurst mini-gardens are unique not only in their shape, but also in their color scheme.

Unlike English landscape parks and gardens, there is no smooth transition from one garden to another. Each garden has its own clear boundaries-walls, like the rooms of a palace.

In the center of the garden is Harold's "circle": a round mowed lawn surrounded by yew hedges, with breaks every quarter of the circle. The exits from it lead to rectangular flower beds framed by low-cut boxwood. The lawn and the surrounding hedge are the foundation, the constant compositional center of the garden, regardless of the season.

The best place to start your visit to Sissinghurst is the tall Elizabethan tower. It actually occupies a central position in the estate, from it you can see the whole garden and the surrounding area.

Purple Border of the courtyard, the first to greet the visitor entering the estate. It occupies a narrow strip along the south wall of the courtyard and is a classic mixborder that features colors in all shades of magenta. Roses, poppies, irises, geraniums, lupins, phloxes of various shades of red and purple are collected here. They are combined with green foliage, and in the cold season - with purple, burgundy and fiery red leaves of shrubs.

Lilac-pink Delos is an early spring garden, the beauty of which is revealed before the trees are covered with leaves. In spring, pink chionodoxes, blue sprouts and white anemones bloom here like a carpet, later white magnolias, pale pink geraniums, forest violets and snow-white peonies come into their own.

White Garden is filled with all shades of white. This is one of the most refined and sophisticated gardens. It has a clear structure in the form of a cross, in the crosshairs of which there is a wrought iron pavilion. The four rectangles of the cross are broken into smaller rectangles, with paths between them, while the lines of the White Garden are framed by a border of sheared boxwood. White violas, deutsias, irises, dahlias, gladioli, silvery wormwoods are planted inside the rectangles in a chaotic mess. Here, under the canopy of the willow pear tree, there is a romantic sculpture of a thoughtful girl, at whose feet dicenters and white-edged pelargoniums modestly turn white.

The Rose Garden contains a magnificent collection of roses. A shaded passage leads to it. And such a striking contrast between the gloomy narrow corridor and the bright sunny Rose Garden was no doubt introduced by Harold, who loved such effects. Vita also contributed to the rose garden. She loved old varieties of roses that bloom only in a certain season. In full beauty, the Rose Garden appears only in the middle of summer. The rest of the time, this garden is enlivened by other flowers: irises in spring, clematis in summer, asters and chrysanthemums in autumn.

The Green Alley of Lips, or Spring Garden, was completely designed by Harold. In spring, hyacinths, crocuses and other bulbs bloom here under the canopy of pale green foliage of lindens.

The bright colors of the Village Garden are simply striking after the calm green shades of the alleys. This garden is red-orange. It does not look like a classic English park at all. Wherever the visitor's eye falls, there is a riot of red, orange and yellow flowers.

The Garden of Medicinal Plants nestled in the farthest and most secluded corner of the estate. The paths of the garden form many small beds in which spices and aromatic plants are planted. Lilac, silvery, grayish-green color is given by wormwood, sage, thyme, mint, rosemary, and in the background lilac wisteria create a delicate background. Currently grown here

Sissinghurst Manor is now under the management of a non-government charity dedicated to the preservation of England's national heritage. Excursions are held here, and many visitors visit the park every year.

The most beautiful gardens in England, part 2

Spread out a magnificent garden,
Shaking branches full of fruits.
And it is famous for its peace for centuries,
Spreading sweet aroma.
In its silence and the rustle - a loud sound,
It serves as music for wonderful groves,
Gently circles between flowering greenery,
Turning everything around into an orchestra.
Almost no one wanders here,
But the garden does not wane from loneliness,
And the sunny playful faded face
Looks into the wilderness, where the mystery lives.
Don't ruin the riches of the garden, man,
Leave the age-old virginity to nature,
Be more attentive to screaming gestures,
And you yourself will dwell among negligence.

Hyde Hall Dry Garden in Essex is one of the driest areas in England with very little annual rainfall. The dry garden is located on top of a windswept hill. Thanks to the hard work of the Robinsons, an arid wasteland has been turned into a magnificent garden in which many plants grow.

Hyde Hall Garden is a good example of how plants grown there thrive in drought conditions.

Interest in dry gardens has grown significantly over the past few years. Although people often present England as a "green and favorable land" with abundant rainfall, this is not always the case. Due to climate change in recent years much of East Anglia has been banned from using tap water to irrigate gardens.
