rosa (rambler) £7.49
Position: full sunSoil: fertile, humus-rich, moist, well-drained soilRate of growth: fast-growingFlowering period: July and SeptemberFlower colour: creamy-whiteOther features: excellent cut-flowersHardiness: fully hardyLarge clusters of scented, semi-double, creamy-white flowers from July to September, followed by small, spherical, red rose-hips. This vigorous, rambling rose is ideal for covering an unsightly structure or scrambling through a robust tree. It's an excellent variety for wilder areas of the garden or for covering a north-facing wall.Please note : All our roses have had a summer prune to tidy them up so they will not be in flower when you receive them.Garden care: Before planting shorten thick roots to 25cm (10in) and reduce top-growth to an outward-facing bud 8-15cm (3-6in) above ground-level. Plant during a frost-free spell, incorporating well-rotted organic matter and a balanced fertiliser into the planting hole. Ensure that the 'bud union' (the bulge at the base of the shoots) is 2.5cm (1in) below the soil.All our roses are field grown. In October/November they are dug up and potted. However, they will not produce any new roots until spring, so don't be surprised if the compost falls away from the roots when winter planting. Some suppliers send out 'bare root' plants unpotted, but we don't as it is easier to manage them on the nursery in pots.

sevenbark £8.99
Position: full sun or partial shadeSoil: moist, well-drained, moderately fertile, humus-rich soilRate of growth: average Flowering period: July to SeptemberHardiness: fully hardyOne of the loveliest hydrangeas, this has huge globes of tightly packed, creamy white bracts that look like giant snowballs in late summer. As autumn progresses, the blowsy flowerheads fade to pale lime and the dark green, pointed leaves turn soft yellow. It has an upright habit and makes a breathtaking feature in a wide, partly shady border, particularly when planted in groups or with other hydrangeas. The flowerheads are a popular choice for dried flower arrangements. Contact with the foliage may aggrevate skin allergies.Garden care: Hydrangeas do not like to dry out. In dry weather, soak the roots with a hose and the plant will usually recover. Remove faded flowerheads in spring after the danger of frosts, cutting back the flowered stems to a strong pair of buds. Take out misplaced or diseased shoots. Mulch young plants with a well-rotted manure or compost in spring. Once established, remove a quarter to a third of the shoots to the base of the plant.

Reasons you should join
RHS membership subscriptions really make a difference… The RHS is a charity that receives no direct support from the government and they rely on every member and garden visitor to help fund their valuable work.

Here is a snapshot of what the RHS has achieved, and will continue to deliver through the support of its members. § invest in operating four RHS gardens and staging 16 shows across the UK;§ give free one-to-one expert advice to members on any gardening matter – more than 75,000 enquiries a year;§ work with children: 9,000 schools benefit from the RHS’s Campaign for School Gardening;§ engaged with 1,700 communities across the UK through both Britain in Bloom and the Neighbourhood Awards; and theysupport more than 2,700 local gardening clubs.
RHS stands for the Royal Horticultural Society
The RHS invests as much of the membership subscriptions as they possibly can into the charitable projects, so that members can be confident that their money is making a real impact. Without members the RHS would be unable to sustain the work with gardeners of today and tomorrow, so now more than ever the RHS need the support of both long and loyal members and new members alike.In return for supporting us, the RHS are proud to be able to thank their members with a host of RHS member benefits including free entry to RHS gardens with a family guest, as often as they wish, and The Garden monthly magazine and much more!
