‘How to ... Roses Round the Garden’
Wednesday 27th June, 10am – 1pm
Back in fashion with a fanfare and deservedly so, there are roses to suit any size or style of garden from a chic urban courtyard to a rambling cottage idyll. Roses are some of the longest flowering shrubs and climbers and many of today's varieties, such as the celebrated English roses, combine fragrance and repeat flowering with old-fashioned romance. Several make superb subjects for patio pots and there are numerous award-winning, disease-resistant kinds to choose from. This workshop shows you how to get the very best from roses including suggestions for perfect plant partnerships. Tickets are available £10.95 including tea/coffee and a scone with jam & cream and a free exclusive offer just for you.

All many of them need is a little support and the right start in life.
