Oh, I wish we had better gardening shows here! I'm a bit jealous. All our Home and Garden channel offers is renovation after renovation.

I have had 3 Olivia’s in the garden for quite a few years. It really is a lovely rose. This year I gave it a really hard prune, and it is now full of bud, and flower. I’ll take a photo. It is an incredibly healthy plant, has a medium fragrance.

I will get down to London one year to go to the flower show, this is my favourite event in May even more than my birthday which usually falls during the week of the show.

Just received an email from David Austin Roses, it was a preview of the new Kings Rose, and I have to say I’m not a fan. I’ve bought a good few roses from this company, my favourite being the Olivia Rose rose, which was to honour his granddaughter. Which is also my granddaughter’s name.

Apart from Wimbledon, it’s the best TV week of the year!

I'd like to let my DS dog loose in the dog friendly garden & see how long it lasts - he's not a garden-friendly dog!

Whoop whoop! I’ll be glued all week. I love the show gardens.

It’s that time of year again.

Too soon to have any opinions. I am looking forward to the dog friendly gardenšŸ¦®ā˜ŗļø
