WILD THING (Jactoose)        £7.95

2008

 

A wonderful Flori-Shrub from Jackson & Perkins, highly productive in the amount of flower it produces. Though the blooms are just semi-double with 8 petals and are smallish in size, around 7 cm, they are often produced in clusters of 5 - 55, which means there is a spectacular show of colour of a clean vibrant mid-pink with ivory eye right until petal-drop when the colour intensifies to a deeper pink. It really is quite stunning to see this variety in full flower. Height is around 80 cm with a spread of approximately 118 cm which makes it a quite manageable plant worthy of growing in a pot. Foliage is dense, medium size, mid-green and glossy. Good health is a strong point and it's just a shame that fragrance is slight. And yes, just in case you wondered.....it was named after The Troggs’ hit of the 1960s!

ISN’T SHE LOVELY (Diciluvit)        £7.00
2008
A truly appropriate name for a classic HT which has superb lasting quality. The pointed buds are creamy gold with a slight pink edge and they open to ivory with a centre showing deep tones of pink and gold. Some blooms can appear to be completely ivory.

A true HT as it produces only single, full petalled blooms which are approximately 11.5 cm in diameter. It is slightly lower than average height at around 80 cm and plant habit is upright to bushy. Foliage is dense, medium size, dark green and semi-glossy. A strong-growing plant with excellent disease-resistance and a pleasant fragrance. Already a success on the show benches!
