No. Thing is I didn't explain all the possible patterns.
I still won't today, either, as it would take a few pages to do so. I suggest that you look it up in a large dictionary.
ころ
若いころ adjective +
ロンドンに住んでいたころ verb (or sentence) +
紅葉のころ noun + の +
あのころ/そのころ set phrases
ごろ
6月ごろ/2015年ごろ/いつごろ/何時ごろ time word +
このバナナは食べごろだ continuative form of verb + (example means "ripe" or "time to eat")
さくらは今週末が見ごろだ another example of "continuative form of verb + "
手ごろ reasonable (reasonably priced) noun +
