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 the
rose back after he found it in Iran. It was named after him and although
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.

Oh dear, sorry Judith! Perhaps Bob emailed me about it, then. However, I'm
grateful for the information, even though it's taken ages to get it.

Don't be sorry, I am not one who usually knows anything about
gardening and that's why I have been in this newsgroup for years,
still learning. It makes a change for me to know something though
lol :-)

I look forward to seeing that in flower next year. I grew 'hardii',
another persica hybrid many moons ago and it was a bit of pig to grow
well on account of its vulnerability to mildew. Still, the red-eyed,
vivid yellow flowers were worth the effort. I'll be interested to see
how your plant copes with the current Devon climate. It must have
done reasonably well in Hyams' days otherwise he'd have turfed it
out. I'm glad to hear it has come home.

Well, you know what Ray thinks about growing roses in the mild and wet south
west! I hope this one will do well for us, too. Ray says Hyams did have it
here but I don't think there's any clue as to where he planted it. I'll
have to go through his Englishman's Garden again and see if it's in there.

I am! Note the spelling, though, it is Austin as in car and not Austen as in
Jane :-)
