WILD ROVER (Dichirap)                  £7.95

2007

A wonderful colour of deep purple in the bud, opening to a lighter shade and fading to mauve in the old flowers. The blooms are semi-double having fourteen petals, and have a good scent. Foliage is dense, semi-glossy and light to mid-green. While we have classified this as a Floribunda - probably Flori-Shrub is a better description - this is a tall plant with climbing tendencies and could well be grown against a wall or fence, but don't expect it to achieve a great height, probably a maximum of just under two metres.

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!
