Plenty of glorious clematis on display last month, particularly on the Thorncroft Clematis exhibit. Really makes me want to grow more at home! I spoke to a very helpful past Secretary of the British Clematis Society – http://www.britishclematis.org.uk/ – and if my love affair with roses ever falters then I’m certain to hot foot it to their door.
