I love to Potter around. I love colours & shapes. My garden is my happy place, I plant for smells, sight and to attract wildlife x

Well I've mastered the art of splitting tubers, got more of these beauties now. Need to work out how to take rose cuttings now 😂

Fabulous, I have York and Dover, but they're still just foliage yet, Canterbury died very quickly last year. Do you lift or leave them?

@hebelover I leave them as they're all in pots. I store them in the shed over winter. I bought York this year but it's the only one not to have come up. Gutted!
