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? -- Lyndon |

Ravensthorpe Nursery 6 East Haddon Road Ravensthorpe Northamptonshire NN6 8ES United Kingdom Depending on which side of Coventry you're on that's 25-ish miles. The plant finder says they do mail order. Ring them on 01604 770548 to see if they have it in stock. They're a pretty big nursery. Warwick |

Its Rubus (tridel) Benenden http://www.shootgardening.co.uk/plant/rubus-benenden I've grown it for years, will get rather stragly if left alone, but well worth growing. David |

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. -- Lyndon |

In article , Warwick
writes Closest supplier listed in the RHS plant finder is... Ravensthorpe Nursery That's a fabulous nursery to visit if you are going anywhere near there such as Coton manor or Cottesbrooke. It has about 12 different Philadelphus for a start and a garden full of really unusual plants -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |
