      Gretzky you are just across the water from us and I need to keep my fuchsias frost free.

      Either bury in a deep trench or put in a deep box in loft wrapped in newpaper or if you can keep on a window sill through the winter perfect.

      But take tip cuttings now in case you have a favourite you don't want to loose.

        They're all lovely - wonder if this white one is Hawkshead.

            My best looking basket (got a couple of very sad looking ones at the moment, think it might be the position not suiting them so much) has Marcus Graham and Rose Quartet in - not that you can see any of the latte and I obviously got confused when planting because it was supposed to be Happy Wedding Day! Still waiting for Happy Wedding Day to bloom in the containers I actually put it in. 05.08.12 (8) crop.JPG

              I had an idea it may be Blackie but I never bought it.

              A cutting may be from some one but chuft to bits on its growth it wont be hardy.

              But I will be taking cuttings if anyone would like one pm me .
