A rose by any other name would be just as rich in symbolism, just as ubiquitous in our gardens, and just as fascinating to hear Michael Marriott talk about
Such a small world! many moons ago my husband went for a job at David Austin’s and was interviewed by Mr Marriott!! … he didn’t take the job unfortunately it was too far to travel!
We used to grow 60 roses in our small suburban garden…. We are now down to 50 !!roses hate our garden….it’s windy it’s coastal…. so salt spray is a massive problem….it’s extremely hot at the wrong time of the year… and can be extremely 🥶..which is what happened this spring!! Thanks to Mr Marriotts excellent advice we managed to save our poor plants..
I could not envisage a garden without roses…. despite it being a constant battle between them and us..

Thank you so much for this wonderful interview! It’s got me very excited about picking a few more roses for my garden. His book looks excellent too!
