The gardener in this house, (not me), is trying to get hold of ribes
(rubus?) benenden. Having failed with all her usual local suppliers,
she
is now casting her net wider. Does anyone know of a possible source
within 15 miles or so of Coventry, or a possible on-line source?

I'm supprised that no one has given you the correct name for the plant
you are looking for.
Its Rubus (tridel) Benenden

I've grown it for years, will get rather stragly if left alone, but
well worth growing.

I like the bit where it says it needs 1 hour work/year. That would be close
to my ideal plant. Well perhaps one that requires an hour or two less
attention a year?

My briefing document did mention a middle word starting with 't', but you
are talking to someone who barely knows the difference between clematis and
chlamydia here. Good to know it is worth growing though. Thanks.
