Ranunculus aconitifolius 'Flore Pleno'
'Fair Maids of France' or 'Bachelor's Buttons'. Desirable buttercup with
deeply-cut dark green leaves and perfect tightly double pure white flowers.
Summer dormant. Needs time to settle before flowering.
Moisture, sun or part shade. Late spring. 2ft. £4.00

Ranunculus constantinopolitanus ‘Plenus’
Cultivated since the 18th Century, a non-invasive buttercup with handsome leaves and
gorgeous glossy double yellow flowers with a green centre.
Moisture, sun or shade. Early summer. 18” £3.80

Rosa ‘Blush Noisette’ ( R. Noisette Carnée )
If I could only have one climbing Rose, this would be it. Continuously produced large clusters
of semi-double lilac-pink flowers with a rich clove scent. Still in flower as I write in December.
A shortish climber with few thorns and dark green foliage or will make a large shrub. 2-litre pots.
*Sun or light shade. All summer. 10-16ft. £6.50

Rosa bracteata
Cistus-like lustrous pure white flowers with bright orange-yellow stamens on sturdy stems covered
with stout hooked thorns. Glossy evergreen leaves. Rather tender, requiring a warm wall even
in Cornwall but worth trying as it flowers continuously from June ‘till autumn. 2-litre pots.
*Sun, good soil. Summer onwards. Up to 15ft. £6.80

Rosa chinensis ‘Bengal Beauty’
All year round flowering from this china rose of unknown origin. Large loose cherry
red flowers are produced in quick succession on a twiggy bush up to 4ft. high. Can be
used as a short bush or grown in a large pot and tied to a tripod or some other support.
A few only in 2-litre pots.
*Sun or light shade. All year. 4ft. £6.80

Rosa ‘Dusky Maiden’
Most asked-about Rose in my garden. A Floribunda raised by Le Grice in 1947,
with dusky velvet-red single blooms for much of the summer. Good scent.
*Sun or light shade. 2-litre pots. All summer. 3-4ft. £6.50

Roscoea cautleyoides
Clear pale yellow orchid-like flowers and tall narrow leaves. Late up but
always creates interest. 2-litre pots.
Part or full shade, peaty soil, not too dry. Late summer. 18” £4.50

Roscoea purpurea
Unusual member of the Ginger family with erect, sword-like leaves from which emerge
hooded orchid-like deep purple flowers. Slow to appear in late spring. Seed grown so
may be slight variations in flower colour. Flowering-sized plants in 2-litre pots.
Sun or part shade, good moist but not boggy soil. Late summer. 1ft. £4.50
