Just a small personal triumph. We have been trying for years to get hold
of
Rosa hultheimia 'Edward Hyams'. Hyams used to live here and he brought

it's not an outstandingly gorgeous thing, we really wanted to get one to
plant in what was his garden here in Devon. It's taken some years to get
one because it's difficult to propagate but at last it's here. I think
it
was Bob who suggested we try David Austen (it's not in their catalogue)
so
many, many thanks Bob.

David Austen, Norfolk? I have a tiny feeling, that might have been
me.
