    So... bit of a long shot, but I'm trying to find an episode of Gardeners World from the past few years - can't remember which year but it was no more than 5 years ago (I think...!).

    I can remember that it featured a guy in Kent who had a converted barn, think it was sort of in the middle of a field, but he had planted up all around his barn with beautiful pollinator friendly flowers. It was like a huge square of planting completely surrounding his home.

    He specifically mentioned a rose he planted called Tottering By Gently, which ever since has stuck in my mind as one I'd like to get. It was a yellow rose, and open flowered.

    I'm trying to remember which episode it was, and/or where in Kent it was, and/or who the guy was who was featured. If I could even remember the year, that would be a starting point!

    So... for anyone with a better memory than me, can you help with identifying any of the above??

    Could this be it @Anna33 .
    This is only a screen shot but there is a 7 minute video clip on the BBC website.

          That rose was planted on Beechgrove Garden last night, about 2 minutes in from the start.

            Quite a stunner is 'Tottering by Gently', flowers continuously and good foliage, a little inclined to rust here and there but not much.
            Can grow quite large if wanted, around 8 x 4 feet.. or kept short but it wants to get big.
            Nice hips in winter.
