The garden of The Scented Rose consists of a series of spaces defined
by existing and new plantings, the buildings and the topography. The spaces
are linked by axis. The intention is to be formal in style with informal
planting, and to reflect and harmonise with the ordered, man-made surrounding
landscape.

The garden has several
distinct areas organised on gently changing levels. The design has been
worked around existing features of an old grass tennis court, eighty year
old hedges and topiary, and mature trees of oak, ash, birch, poplar and
Oyster Bay pine.
The more formal part of the garden was established on the north side of
the house, which involved moving the garage and driveway. This area is enclosed
by the house and out buildings (south), the Oyster Bay pines (east), the
double lattice wall which contains the pedestrian gate (north), and the
oak tree and shrubbery (west). Thus establishing a large garden ‘room’
containing the Rose Walk, the David Austin Rose Border and the Open Space. |
