Lower Carpet Roses – also often referred to as The Carpet Rose – are the world’s number one ground cover rose. Once established, some varieties can produce an astonishing display of up to 2,000 flowers from spring through to autumn. They’re extraordinarily low maintenance and have exceptional disease resistance. Better still, once established their well-developed root system means they’re drought and low-water tolerant: surface roots take up available surface water while deeper roots access lower level water in drought conditions. As for pruning, once a year in late winter or early spring, all you need is a pair of garden shears to cut them back by a third any which way. This is the rose that needs no guessing, no worrying. Really… No kidding. Simple to grow and easy to maintain, it doesn't require spraying. Simply cut back to a third of its size once in late Winter or early Spring. And during the long flowering season, this rose will self-clean so that there's no need for fancy pruning or deadheading. Key Features •Masses of iridescent blooms •Rich glossy green foliage •Attractive bush shape and appearance •Disease-resistance, easy-care maintenance •Easy care •No fancy pruning required -

TOP BUXUS HEALTH-MIX can be used in two ways. 1. For bright green shiny leaves and to prevent fungal disease, such as Cylindrocladium With TOPBUXUS HEALTH-MIX, you can give your box plants bright green shiny leaves, preventing yellow edges and faded colours. To achieve this, treat your box plants 3-5 times during the growing season from March to October. This will also make your box plants healthier and stronger, resulting in them becoming more resistant to disease, etc.; this will particularly help to prevent fungal diseases such as Cylindrocladium. 2. To deal immediately with an acute fungal disease such as Cylindrocladium With TOPBUXUS HEALTH-MIX, you are able to immediately stop acute fungal disease such as Cylindrocladium. An acute fungal disease is immediately recognisable from the brown points that will swiftly expand to form blemishes. The most dangerous period is when there is protracted rainfall in combination with high temperatures. If you do nothing, the diseased box plant will soon start to lose its leaves and, in the worst case, if you fail to treat it, the affected branches can die, resulting in dead areas in your box plant. The diseased plants will then unfortunately have to be replaced. However, if you promptly use TOPBUXUS HEALTH-MIX after treatment, leaves will soon sprout on the diseased branches and recover. When the onset of disease is evident, immediately carry out the treatment. Under normal circumstances, one treatment is sufficient. It is extremely important to also immediately treat all of your healthy box plants. Should the warm and damp weather persist, repeat the treatment after 1 week. Thorough inspection is recommended in the future, particularly when the weather is warm and damp for protracted periods of time. If necessary, at a later date, you can simply repeat the treatment; this means you will continue to get maximum pleasure from your box plants. Do not use above 25 degrees Celsius. Only use early in the morning or evening in warm, sunny weather Can be used in damp weather, but preferably for use on dry foliage. If seriously affected with lots of brown spots and shedding leaves, we recommend that you first prune the plants considerably and then treat them straight away with TOPBUXUS HEALTH-MIX, which will encourage rapid regrowth -

A compact, bi-coloured form of Agapanthus or African lily, Agapanthus Twister is a clump-forming, deciduous perennial, ideal for the smaller garden. Strap-like, deep green leaves appear in spring. From July to September, large, globular flower-heads of trumpet-shaped, white florets with a violet-blue base are borne on sturdy stems. African lilies are very good in pots, grown in soil-based compost with slow-release fertiliser granules, as they flower well when their roots are confined, but be aware that pot-grown plants are more vulnerable to frost, so the pots should be brought under cover in winter in colder areas.
