Rosa banksiae 'Lutea' (rose (rambler))

Rosa banksiae ‘Lutea’ (rose (rambler)) was £29.99 now £19.99
Position: full sun Soil: fertile, humus-rich, moist, well-drained soil Rate of growth: average to fast-growing Flowering period: April to June Flower colour: yellow Other features: scented flowers Hardiness: frost hardy (needs winter protection) This lovely rambling rose produces graceful sprays of small, double, deep yellow flowers in April and May. This thornless rose is perfect for covering an arch or pergola or for growing through a strong tree, where the lightly scented flowers can best be appreciated. It is happiest in a sunny sheltered site. 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). Before planting you will also need to make sure that there is adequate support for the rose to grow onto. 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 watering the plant well. Tie the stems to the support in and open fan shape and as new shoots emerge, tie these in horizontally. When planting against a large tree, dig a hole about a metre away from the trunk and angle the rose towards the trunk. The tree must be mature and strong enough to take the weight of the rose. Or you can train the rose up to the crown of branches, using wooden supports. In this case the rose should be planted on the outer reaches of the tree’s canopy. Allow it to scramble up the supports and then into your chosen tree. Water generously until well established, and apply a specialist rose fertiliser (following the manufacturers instructions) each spring. Th

Buxus & poppy seed hanging wreath

Buxus & poppy seed hanging wreath £79.99
Handmade by the team here at Crocus Dried Poppy Seed Heads make striking natural baubles, especially en-masse and in a structure like this. Held in tiered rings of Buxus (Box) foliage they bear more than a passing resemblance to a Christmas tree. Held in place by two different thicknesses of red ribbon, with a third olive green ribbon to attach the poppy seed heads, this is a vibrant piece, for suspending above a table, or hallway, in a stairwell, or in a window. As with any fresh foliage, the Buxus will look better if kept cool and misted with water occasionally – however if it’s stored carefully it dries to a beautiful parchment colour, and could be hung again for years to come. Please note: colour may vary slightly depending on the availability of plants Diameter of rings: Bottom 30.5cm Middle 20cm Top 12.75cm Approx height 80cm Simply select your preferred delivery date from the above options. If you order other items and wish to receive these before the date selected for your wreath you will need to select split delivery in the shopping wheelbarrow.
