2010, such a long time ago. I probably did not give it the justice it deserves. Fantastic rose.
Hello Alistair, I read with great interest your 2010 article on Rose de Rescht. Everything you have written about its scent and disease resistance sounds very encouraging to me and I am very tempted to get one. I am based in Hertfordshire, UK. Now that it is 2023, I’m wondering if you have any further comments regarding your experience of Rose de Rescht. Thank you.
Really not sure Wendy, I haven’t had this plant in the garden for such a long time.
I am interested in Celmisia semicordata and wondered if you knew where I could purchase plant ir seeds. Many thanks.
Spring sowing is best, March to early May. You could try sowing some of them now just to see how it goes.
Hi.
I have bought some Striatum seeds today and wondered if you would give information on getting them germinating unless it’s too late this year, and care please ? The seller did stipulate that there would not be instructions included with them. It’s 13th June 2023 now so I would say it’s a bit late in the year. Central England location. Thanks.
Not able to do this Dinah. How’s about going to the garden centre with a pair of secateurs.
Hi, I lost all my Hebe Autumn Glory plants this winter. I had them for over 30 years but alas they are all dead. Could you please send me some cuttings which I am willing to pay for.?
Hello from across the pond. I stumbled into this site looking at pictures of Katharine Hodgkins irises, and I have to say it is quite extensive. Thanks for the time and effort you put into this catalog, and happy gardening!
I just searched Google, sorry, not so easy to find at the moment.
I’m trying to get hold of Celmisia coriacea and Celmisia spectabilis and having no luck. Do you know anywhere that stocks them? Any help much appreciated.
Yes, keen to find out more Rose

Almost everything that grows in the south will grow in Aberdeen, Half hardy fuchsias and pelargoniums won’t come through the Winter but will still give a good show in Summer, hardy geraniums of course will thrive. Our Aberdeen Garden
My husband and I are hoping to relocate to the Aberdeen area. Coming from the south geraniums, fushias and lavender are firm favourites, so I was wondering how these fair further north. When looking at houses online we have noticed a distinct lack of flowers and plants in gardens and were curious about why?
Joy, Aw, never picked up on that email.
Hello Alistair ! … I sent you quite a long email speaking about the grief of losing a beautiful furry companion.
Actually it was a long emotional talk of how John and I got through that period and how much we love our girls and what they have done for us .
I am wondering if you got it at all ? I sent it about two days ago … just explaining what we went through and how we ended up with our two girls ..
