ROSE RAMBLER 09.02.2017 …
Hello dear rose friends and Happy Birthday to our son Benjamin! As I flipped over the calendar, this saying appeared …
Relocating our Rose Nursery to Clonbinane has been very successful – it works for us and we hope it works for you too! We are open for business …

Q. Why did the fly never land on the computer? A. He was afraid of the world wide web.
EMAIL MESSAGES WILL ALWAYS RECEIVE A RESPONSE
We are renowned for our prompt email response! We find portable phones most frustrating as we have frequent ‘power-out’ here at Clonbinane and we can only answer one incoming call at a time!!! I do NOT always have a mobile phone in my pocket – as it is, I carry two pouches – one with portable phone, one with secateurs and they drag my trousers down! Add a mobile phone to my baggage and you’ll see me walking around with no trousers …! No, it won’t happen!!!
Added to the above, I put a battery on my back and shears in my hand … this is how I work on pruning now so that we have a most spectacular display of roses down in the ‘tram-stop’ garden for this autumn … ‘KNOCKOUT’ being pruned …
EVERY SINGLE CUSTOMER who grows this rose (and others like it) absolutely rave about the spectacular flowering and easy management of these varieties of roses … you ALL MUST GROW at least one KNOCKOUT ROSE or one of the following varieties to recognise their magnificent beauty…
FOR YOUR EYES ONLY
(What a beauty for Valentine’s Day!!!)
EYE OF THE TIGER
(Available in Winter 2017)
GRA’S GARBLE …
Q. What do you call 100 spiders on a tyre? A. A spinning wheel!
We have noticed an extreme number of spider webs in our garden and even along freeways in the barriers – fascinating! There are three big fat garden orbs who have taken up residence on our front verandah – very entertaining when they appear in the evening ready to capture their prey.
Make your garden a space where you maintain an ecological balance by minimizing use of harsh chemical pesticide sprays; all the spiders and insects together with birds and other animals who rely on this balance for their survival, will flourish and allow you and your children the privilege of viewing nature “LIVE” … not through a TV screen but right there in your own yard!
Please encourage the little people around you to be enthralled by rather than fear spiders and insects, birds and other animals!
TWO FAVOURITE WHITE ROSES …
I picked these blooms for a vase on the island bench in our kitchen to prove that there is a distinct difference between my two most favourite white roses … oh, if only I could send the fragrance in this email … both magnificent roses in their own right – POPE JOHN PAUL II has the stronger fragrance, MEMOIRE is the most weather-tolerant of all the white roses we stock … BOTH AVAILABLE AS BUSH AND STANDARD IN WINTER 2017 …
VALENTINE’S DAY …
If you want roses posted, best you call us NOW and we’ll EXPRESS POST a rose plant so it arrives on time …
03 5787 1123 … enjoy the romance!
See you soon at Clonbinane… Graham, Diana, Mooi and assistant Tova.
