Yes it is her. Semi retired though. Sadly they are getting old like
everybody elses! There is still the possibility of getting plants from
them if you know them, kinda thing and collect from them. They don't do
mail orders anymore. I'm seeing Rachel in a couple of weeks and I think
I'll take her offer on the viticella Madame Coverron even though I had
found the rose I wanted for my friend. There's always a little gap for
a clematis, I think.
