ROTFL.... How do the hours slip by like that! it's just weeds.. :-) 

Your gardening sounds wonderful. Lots of variety and places to stop
and pause.  Squirrels are so darling, but ekkk...expensive water
plants and fish.  

I'm not sure about clematis, but I suspect Alba roses won't care 
for the evening sunlight reflecting heat off your brick wall and fish
pond.  The iris might do fine there.  

Wow... so Tradescant is a big rose?  I've been looking for a nice
dark red rose. I have William Shakespeare and it gets terrible
blackspot.  Mother just gave me L.D Braitwaite, so I'm not sure about
him yet. I don't think either is quite as dark Tradescant (least in
the catalog).  

I would love to have the climbing burgandy-velvet rose Susan has 
Dr. _________... oh dear, what was the name of that rose of yours 
Susan ?  I can't find it even in Beales book... Is it that rare?  
Now I must have it.. :-)
