Let's face it, England is a pretty temperate country. During the late autumn and the winter, rainfall is reliable - sometimes even excessive. However, you mustn't let that lull you into a false sense of security. Climate change is affecting the whole world. This means that during spring and summer...
Each month over the last few years, we've shared a great piece of garden-related art. All through 2022 we're looking at Blossfeldt plant photos. For March, we're sharing his image of a cephalaria (giant scabious) seed head. If you've been reading our blog regularly, you'll already know something about Blossfeldt. ...
Are you looking for a company to design and install an irrigation system for your garden? If so, you will doubtless have questions to ask before you decide on one. Is the company reputable? Is it long-established? Are the staff easy to deal with? And most importantly, do they know...

Every summer, when the lawn dries out and goes brown, people call Rosewood desperate to find out about our garden irrigation systems.

When you imagine garden irrigation systems such as Rosewood's, you might presume we design primarily for larger gardens. However, this is far from the truth. Of course, those with a greater area to water might feel that the time-saving benefits of automatic irrigation are a blessing. A tiny garden will...
Rosewood has been sharing beautiful art for garden lovers ever since we started our blog and social media posting. In 2021, we shared a modern flower painting each month. For 2022, we plan to bring you images by the German sculptor and photographer Karl Blossfeldt (1865-1932). The artist is most...
Our choice of modern flower painting for December is a picture by Scottish artist Anne Cotterill (1933-2010). It's a good selection for this time of year, as it shows a jug full of Christmas roses. Helleborus niger, to give it its botanical name, is one of the few flowers to...
