Shrubs
Had lots of help from all you gardeners before. Have bought three nice rose bushes at your suggestions. Now I am asking for some more suggestions, this time for small shrubs. I do not want them to grow too tall but I would like them to be evergreen. I have cleared a nice big patch at the front (I had lots of help) and would like to plant them before it gets too cold. If possible I would like them to have flowers and scented in the spring and summer. Asking a lot, I know. Several different sorts would be nice. Over to you!

Berberis darwinii, stunning display of small orange flowers from April to May. Escallonia 'Apple Blossome, pink/white blooms from June to September. Tecrium chamaedrys, Pink-purple flowers, attractive to bees, July to Sept. All should thrive in similar conditions as you're roses. .
