A lemon Canary Bird rose flowers at the same time. All this pastel fluffiness finds the perfect foil in a pink-toned Jester Phormium (a New Zealand flax) growing near the edge of the house lawn and the tall lime green Euphorbias.

Later in summer there'll be an explosion of yellow from the Senecio daisy bush and the Hypericum, both of which lean on the fence. And hopefully roses will add some pinks and reds to the colour scheme.
