with the grounds set on a funny angle so I do not know actual North so can I find North without the aid of compass? Yes I know about the rising and the setting of the sun East and West etc., Thank you for your help.
I have a rose that will only thrive on a north facing wall...however my garden is like a labyrinth?
If you live in a very cold climate they say this so you pick a warm sunny position. don't worry too much about direction.
The wall is to keep the heat and beat the frost.
Reply:Right, when the sun sets in the West (9 o'clock on an imagnery clock face), turn clockwise, '15 minutes'... you are now facing North.
Make a note of what you can see - particular roof-tops, chimneys or tall plants/trees, so that you can, more or less identify the North from anywhere in your Labyrinth. Pick out possible sites for your rose and check the direction to ensure that it will be facing North.
It should be fine, so long as it is protected from too much sun.
Reply:Roses need six hours of sun per day give or take an hour or so, and they need lots of water. Watch to see if you have an area with this much sun and then plant the rose in that spot.
Reply:Try buying a cheap compass. If all fails for me while in the woods the compass always pulls through. Great invention.
