There's a summary of the article on John Grimshaw's blogspot with the pictures (the Plantsman article is by John Grimshaw):

I want Pink Ice and Briar Rose! If anyone is going think of me, please

Wow!  Fascinating hybrids.  I've never seen anything quite like 'Briar Rose'.  I wonder if it will ever make it to Australia?  Maybe one day. 

Thanks for the link Diane (and telling us about it in the first place, Mark).

I agree Mark, I want those two as well; I like Pink Ice best, what a beauty.

Paul , the 2 new Ashwood Hellebores are in Australia since last year ,sorry to tell you your name will be a long way behind mine on the waiting list ,

[Paul T]

Otto,

I don't think my name is even on the list.  

At least it is good to know that they're already here.  It makes it at least possible that they may be available in the future.    Thanks for letting us know that they're here already.
