Cornhill

Many years ago, long before the internet I saw a small advertisement in a funky magazine for a small nursery that grew stock for short seasons. They specialised in hardy roses grown on their own root stock I ordered a John Cabot rose to grow over our fence, and in the post a bare rooted specimen arrived. It thrived and proved to be spectacular. Now I live not far from that nursery. I decided to visit it because now I have another fence to cover.
The place has expanded, has lovely gardens and this tea room. This time I have an Alexander MacKenzie rose to take home with me tomorrow.
By tomorrow evening I'll be home in Nova Scotia for a month. I shall again be far from an internet, so my postings shall be sporadic.
