I've shown this plant to Blooms. They are interested if it does the same next year.

Double flowered 'Rozanne'

If it makes a million for anyone Mark, it will be for Blooms, not you. Old cynic that I am.

Nice photo, but no...nobody in this business makes millions. Keep it for yourself (or share it ONLY with forumists...). Do you know if it's stable?

How unique Mark and the photo will certainly cause a stir - it looks a million dollars (at least)  ;)

You do know that Blooms are part of the Wyevale Group now, that should put anyone off dealing with them!

Unless of course, Mark means the Blooms nursery itself, still run by the family I understood, last time we went Jamie Blake showed us round the Dell and Jason Bloom round the nursery (as opposed to the @$%@ garden centre!).

Ah! Thanks Brian, hadn't realised the nursery was still in Blooms ownership. Last time I went to the Garden Centre (May 2009) it was a disgrace and did nothing at all for the Blooms" name.
