Rosa Iceberg (‘Korbin’) (rose Iceberg (bush floribunda)) was £9.99 now £8.99
Position: full sun Soil: prefers fertile, well drained soil, but will tolerate clay and light soils too. Rate of growth: fast-growing Flowering period: June to September Hardiness: fully hardy Pruning: light pruning from late winter to early spring Justifiably popular, ‘Iceberg’ goes on flowering right through the summer. Clusters of pink buds open to double, slightly fragrant white flowers, 7cm across. It is disease-resistant and easy to grow. There is also a climbing variety. All our roses are grown in an open field and then dug up when the weather conditions are right in October or November. Some suppliers send out their roses as ‘bare root’ plants (ie without pots or compost), but we pot ours up as it helps to keep the roots hydrated and in good condition. As they are dormant throughout the winter, they will not produce any new roots until spring, so don’t be surprised if the compost falls away from the roots when you take them out of their pots. The roses can be kept in their pots throughout the winter provided they are kept well fed and watered, however ideally they should planted out as soon as possible. They will already have been cut back so no further pruning will be required, apart from snipping off any tips that have died back. Routine pruning can begin in late winter the year after planting. Garden care: If planting in winter, choose a frost-free spell when the soil is not frozen. Roses are quite deep-rooted plants so dig a deep hole roughly twice as wide as the plants roots and mix in a generous amount of composted organic matter. A top-dressing of a general purpose fertiliser can be worked into the surrounding soil and we also recommend using Rose Rootgrow at this stage to encourage better root development. This is particularly important when planting into a bed where roses have previously been grown as Rose Rootgrow is said to combat rose sickness (aka. replant disease). Remove the plants from their pots and gently spread out the roots before placing them in the centre of the hole. Try to ensure that the ‘bud union’ (the point where the cultivated rose has been grafted onto the rootstock, and from where the shoots emerge) is at soil level. You can judge this quite easily by laying something flat, like a spade handle or bamboo cane, across the top of the hole. When they are at the right height, back-fill the hole, firming the soil down gently before

Cast-iron fire pit / brazier was £79.99 now £64.99
A magnificent cast iron bowl with a simple design, which will hold a good sized fire. It is made from really thick and heavy cast iron, so although it will show some signs of rust if left outside, it will never rust through completely. The black paint finish will burn off, along with any small spots of rust which will develop, but this bowl is built to last. It comes in two pieces (the bowl and the stand), which will easily fit together with the screws supplied. Dimension: Diameter 60cm Height 20cm (24.90 kg)
