I have used C&K Jones. Good strong plants each time and always good for a chat at a show.

It’s a tough market for traditional magazine publishing. We’re long-term fans of professional editing, photography & print, hence our sponsorship of the GMG Features Photographer Award.
Delighted to present the award to Marianne, have long been an admirer of her work. #gmgawards 🌱

We love browsing images & stories on social media, but we’re big fans of traditional print media too, so it’s a pleasure to again sponsor the Garden Media Guild ‘Features Photographer of the Year’ award.
Good luck to the finalists, hope we get to meet at The Savoy next Friday! 🌱

Persica hybrid #rose ‘Eye of the Storm’. Seems an appropriate choice as #StormClaudia makes her presence felt.
Take care everyone. #roses 🌱

Here we are, back to Greenwich Mean Time, the light fading as the sun sets before 5pm. Who else, beside me, will still be in the garden, bumbling around as dusk falls? Head torches at the ready!

Tiny perfection: Lyda. A bushy shrub to 1.2m in height with mid-green foliage and single, lightly-scented white flowers edged with pink and with a central boss of golden-yellow stamens, flowering from summer into autumn. #roses 🌱

Anyone for Raspberry Ripple? The King’s Rose that is. Every bloom is a surprising swirl of pink and creamy white petals.
Bred by David Austin Roses.

The hybrid musk #roses started blooming in this garden in late May. With their gnarled branches it takes ages to prune these big old girls, I sometimes fret I’m too brutal or not brutal enough. That’s #gardening for you. Have a good day everyone. #throwbackthursday 🌱

Pretty in pink for #RoseWednesday
A Whiter Shade of Pale, Mutabilis, Perle d’Or, Cornelia.
