There really is something special and iconic about English Shrub Roses, which is the term for the old-fashioned type of classic rose with a very filled centre, their petals making the most remarkable patterns. New breeding over many years has made them much easier to grow in all gardens - big or small - either in larger pots or in borders and beds. This variety has been bred to have both a good fragrance, and superb disease resistance - not always possible with roses, but our growers have managed it! Best of all it is a repeat flowerer, and will bloom for 4-5 months with little dead-heading, although you may wish to keep them tidy. It's a little more vigorous and less formal than Hybrid Tea Roses, so mix them in with other shrubs in borders too.

Everyone loves fresh Rhubarb in their garden, and it's one of the easiest things to grow on a kitchen garden. But, it has one drawback - it throws masses of lovely succulent new stems in Spring for a Month, then that's pretty much it...... feast and famine. That's because all Rhubarb plants till now go dormant in Summer. Now, we are pleased to introduce a very special British bred variety called 'Livingstone' - which is a day-neutral variety so eliminates this Summer dormancy - this means it produces stems in Spring, but then keeps on going into Summer with bigger crops again in Autumn - giving a bountiful supply for 6 Months or more. The flavour is good and sweet, and is a very easy to grow and long lasting plant - the crown will slowly expand over many years producing more and more 'stocks' for you to harvest. One for the shopping list!
