BBC Two - Great British Garden Revival, Series 2, Roses and Climbers & Creepers

Rachel de Thame champions old roses and Joe Swift praises climbers and creepers.

Television gardeners try to save the nation's rich gardening heritage. Rachel de Thame champions old roses and Joe Swift praises climbers and creepers.

Rachel de Thame shares her love of old roses. In her revival, she meets a nurseryman in Oxford involved in the restoration and conservation of old rose gardens, takes to the streets of Solihull with her pop-up rose garden and visits the most famous rose nursery in the UK, where a father-and-son team are at the cutting edge of rose breeding. Rachel guides us through the best old roses to grow in our gardens and shares her tips on how to plant a rose shrub.

Joe Swift wants to dispel some of the myths which have grown up around climbers and creepers and shows us that, with the right selection and a little bit of maintenance, they will suit any style of garden. On his revival, he meets a university research team investigating the effects that climbing plants can have on our buildings, sizes up the longest wisteria in the country and finds out that climbing plants can also be productive on a visit to a cooperative vineyard in London. Throughout the show, Joe guides us through some of his favourite climbers, including clematis, honeysuckle, passion flowers and roses, and demonstrates an easy and simple way to support climbing vegetables.
