Becca Stuart on roses: Part I

One of my favourite florists of all time, and one of the growers that inspired me back in the day, is Becca Stuart of The Garden Gate Flower Company. And so who better to talk to us about one of her (and one of my) favourite flowers, the rose?

All of the information that we covered is in the process of being turned into an full, lusciously pictured guide (remember the iris one India and I did?) but once we started, we just went on, so the book is going to be a work in progress for a while. In the meantime, feel free to get out there with a hoe, or put your feet up in a hammock, and have a listen in to our chat.

On roses Gather

If you would like to see a beautiful video of the rose beds at the farm at Fowey that we were talking about, Baxter and Ted made a lovely one.

They also did one of the Forage and Feast course that I went to with The Garden Gate Flower Company (and yes, I am in the film) and you can watch that by clicking on the image below.

Oh, and the utterly incredible Jose Villa shoot? Have a look here.
