Rosa.

It certainly has been an busy week and, with my two little sisters heading back to university, it feels like the holidays really have ended at last. I'll miss them! They both told me their favourite plants, so that I could mention them here.
Flora chose the 'Bobby James' rambler rose; it looks stunning once it is in bloom, and it is the first thing people see when visiting our house. Flora's flora!

Rosa 'Bobby James'.
(Rambler rose.)


Planting: Late autumn or spring if bareroot, otherwise any season.
Flowering: Summer.
Aspect: Full sun.
Hardiness: Very hardy.

Notes: The vigour and life in this plant is such that it only suits large, wild structures to ramble over, rather than small ornamental designs.
