Just ordered a Plumaria....been wanting one for ages ;D Should that say 'Plum eria' Lou? I just googled it and that's what came up - an alias for 'Frangipani' it says. Is this for indoors? Come on - more detail please, like what colour it is etc.  Thats right Geranium, hadn't realised I misspelt it...it was late at night   Its a dwarf one, yellow in colour and for indoors..... |

Come on - more detail please, like what colour it is etc. This is a favourite big shrub of mine. In Australia it is called Frangipani, but in most other countries it is Plumeria. I do prefer the evergreen varieties, but the evergreens are mostly white. My brother grafted a few colours giving a multi coloured shrub.  |

Rosie, I think you will notice the difference between this and others when they fruit. Rovada was very expensive when it was first available and is still fairly new. I have planted three rooted cuttings of mine and have three ordinary redcurrants. I am running out of space. Anything planted away from the house is fair game for rabbits, deer, etc.

I can see why Lou wanted a Plumeria/Frangipani! That's beautiful, Cherry. My two shrubs from Burncoose have just arrived - Clerodendron trichotomum and Elsholzia stauntonii. Both destined for the pear tree space. ;D Packed beautifully as always, and delivered by courier, with an e-mail to tell me the ETA. Their prices may be a bit steep, but you get what you pay for. |

I had to 'Google' those Edwin as I'd never heard of them, they are all very pretty, love the dual colour ones but I don't think the Osiria especially would survive winter here as being cutting varieties & slightly frost sensitive I think they'd keel over in my frost pocket garden. |

Nostalgie does look like that when the flowers open Edwin, i love it. I have been tempted by Osiria, but i don't think it would survive too well in northern Scotland |

 this is my nostalgia rose, not a very good example but it does have the same colour I do like the Osiris, although I am beginning to realise roses don't do that well down here |
