A weekly date for enthusiasts to meet Percy Thrower and his gardening friends.
This week Percy Thrower plants early varieties of potatoes, and in the greenhouse pots the tubers of gloxinias and begonias.
His guest is Ernest Baines, rose foreman of the National Rose Society's trial grounds at St. Albans, Hertfordshire, who demonstrates the pruning of bush roses and gives advice on the training of climbers and ramblers We can scarcely enter any garden, however humble, which does not contain a rose tree; what other genus of plant has so great a variety of character or gives forth such a number of delicious blossoms for so long a period? Moreover, it is easy of culture; suited to a great variety of soils; lives and blooms even with neglect; yet yields an abundant return for whatever labour may be bestowed upon it. Roses are as popular today as they were when William Paul wrote "The Rose Garden" more than one hundred years ago.
