There are still so many flowers out in the gardens this month. We are well known for our roses but there are also dahlias, phlox and many more. Enjoy them before the frosts take them away. Some of our roses produce really attractive hips which are worth seeing in their own right.

One of our gardeners favourite roses is the 'Little White Pet' which you can see in the borders as you approach the entrance to the Court. It has a second flowering perion during the autumn which will last for a long time. It is a very old variety, introduced 1879, but still a valuable part of the garden today.

The Little White Pet will be flowering throughout autumn

We always have wild flowers flowering all around but as autumn arrives we see the fruits as well. Elderberries can be used in cooking, to make cordials or wine.
