        Do you mean Delta's Sarah? Hardy, loves the shade ( for the dark skirt colour) and easy peasy for Autumn cuttings,

          I also got a few more at the weekend @ 80p each including Seventh Heaven, Dollar Princess, Rose Quartet, Deep Purple (R.I.P. Jon Lord) Ernie Wise and the one I`m most looking forward to seeing in bloom, Happy Wedding Day. I`ll put up pics when they`re looking better.

            'Garden News' I got the other week. It`s a shrub type but probably wont put it in the garden until next year when I get rid of the two monstrosities of Sidalcea that are there.

              Where do you over winter yours mowgley?

              I`ll be taking cuttings from mines for next year but as I don`t have a greenhouse, my window sills may get a bit crowded.

              I suppose I could invest 30 quid on one of those plastic cold frame type things. Something along these lines http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Produ...7/c_3/3|cat_14418827|Greenhouses|14418830.htm

                  I have a lot of fairly common plants, but I like to get the rarer too Jenny. Got a couple of gems budding up at the moment..............
