Nice :), My garden needs a few more tiers/ changes in height looking at yours has got me thinking again :)
I leave all the architectural /solid stuff until spring but tend to remove soggy and slimy dead growth, not sure why as it goes on the compost lol
Ois the rose Gertrude Jekyll?

Rose is not Gertrude Jekyll (although I have just added one of those as a bare root), it's another quite similar one from David Austin - Strawberry Hill.

My garden needs a few more tiers/ changes in height
Ours has about 4 tiers or 5 tiers depending on how you count it. Very good for packing in lots of different types of plants as you get very different conditions, and adds a lot of interest compared to the standard rectangular box. But it can be hard to do simple gardening tasks - clambering up and down everywhere and hacking away with a pruning saw while trying not to slip and fall to your death. And we have a toddler and a dog and the garden is pretty useless for them. It makes a great garden for looking at, for sitting in, and for supporting wildlife - but not ideal for growing fruit and veg, playing football etc

Everything starting to looks pretty bleak and wintery after a couple of frosts, apart from one rose which didn't get the message
Can't quite bring myself to cut back everything collapsed and dying yet as there is beauty still in the decay - to my eyes anyway
