I wouldn't go so far as spectacular, something scarlet that size might be,
but not white. But then I could never see the point of the white garden at
Sissinghurst (and others).

I can see you are a 'Ville de Lyon' kind of guy Bob!
I can sort you out next year Sacha but we have had quite a run on Gillian
this year and have no large ones left. I like it because its compact, if you
need height 'Henryi' or 'Marie Boisselott' are better

Thanks, Charlie. I think we can use either Gillian Blades and/or Marie
Boisselot. I have a slight sentimental leaning towards the latter and like
the look of the former, so I'm sure we'll find room for them. Our Clematis
rehederiana is in flowering beautifully as I write and looks wonderful.
It's surprisingly hard to find, so Ray's going to propagate that one quite a
bit this year. Let me know if you want some, or indeed anything else - fair
exchange for the Rhamnus seeds! Have you got Dicentra scandens?
