Val, unable to spray for the fungal disease black spot, has identified some super-healthy roses and uses them in her garden at Spring Cottage. Bourton- on-the-Water. Many of the old roses have Gallica blood somewhere in their lineage, but she can also grow Albas, Hybrid Musks, Ramblers and some climbers. In her mixed peony, rose and phlox borders she has added some modern shrub and floribunda roses. She is a hands on gardener and a committed plantaholic. The talk covers the roses, their companions, rose pruning and feeding.
