  • Re: Pruning rambling roses

    Forum post by Scott on 27 Feb 2012

    Just copied and pasted this off RHS website. Rose pruning ensures that plants grow vigorously and flower well each year. If left, rambling roses can become a tangled mess of branches with very few flowers. Although often considered complicated, rose pruning is not difficult if you follow this guide. These roses fall into RHS Plant Selector pruning group 18. This method is suitable for rambling roses. Sometimes it can be hard to distinguish between a climbing rose and a rambling rose. The easiest Read more..

The only thing I like about it, is the fact they have carefully dismantled and re-constructed the original sunken Italian garden complete with pond....

  • The New Blue Peter Garden

    Forum post by Scott on 24 Feb 2012

    Did anyone see the new Blue Peter garden on the BBC news weather report this morning... How Boring... Too many hard surfaces, straight lines, lack of height, and just how many Phormiums .. They really suffered last year in the bad weather we had, so will be interesting to see how they get on. The new garden as no scope for wildlife.. The design and planting scheme is something you find typically on a industrial estate.. Whoever commissioned the designer should be dealt with severely.... Please bring Read more..
