Answer:

You need to tell us if it's in the sun or shade or at least what it has most.
why not a perfumed rose , ideal for that size of garden and the scent wafting through the window will make your day or evening
congratulations on your home! first, you need to know what zone (gardening zone) you are in; then the amount of shade/light it gets every season. For instance if the house faces west, it would get hot afternoon sun, etc. If there is a large tree nearby it might get a lot of shade. This makes it necessary to know because some plants do well in shade, partial shade, but not in hot sun. You can easily find out your gardening zone by checking it out with the county extension office in your area or by asking a local nursery. Then you might want to visit lots of nursery's in the area and ask questions: like what plants grow well in your area, etc, and also by checking out other homes in your area what they have in their yards. If you find one that you really like, mark down the name of it; and check into it on the web. Good luck!
