 | Product Description: The author shows how the climbing rose is the natural companion of the clematis and how, when the two are grown together, the overall effect can be dramatic. The author explains, with the aid of clear step by step illustrated instructions, the effective course of action for success in this increasingly popular area of companion. Written in plain, straightforward language, the author covers every aspect of the subject. As well as details of classification, in which the best plants for the job are discussed, the author provides important seasonal growing information including Autumn and Spring pruning techniques, planting details and invaluable advice on the use of colour. The vexed question of pests and diseases is also dealt with at length. This is an instructive title, of special value to the reader with a limited knowledge of gardening but also containing much to interest the more experienced grower. Written by an enthusiastic amateur grower, with an extensive and practical experience of his suAmazon.com Review: Author John Howells claims that the climbing rose and the clematis are natural planting companions; both have an urge to reach for the sky and the need for the same growing requirements (good, rich soil and a fair amount of water). The rose makes a softer, more beautiful support for the clematis vine than any trellis, and clematis offers a contrast that brings out the beauty of roses. They share the same kind of enemies, so a treatment program for any pest will benefit both. They can also be grown together in pots or beds. Finally, each comes in an array of colors that complement the other--think of a yellow rose such as Golden Showers or Casino set off by the gorgeous purple of a Victoria clematis. Howells makes his case very convincingly with many gorgeous, full-color photographs.

 | Product Description: The viticella clematis is an undiscovered garden treasure - abundant, vigorous and varied in appearance, easy to grow and maintain. They are the perfect starting point for growers new to the clematis, and an inspiring presence in any garden. 'A garden plant second to none', in the author's words. The standard Large Flowered varieties of clematis, being easier to display in orderly garden centres, completely dominate in the commercial market. Viticellas, by comparison, are easier to grow, vigorous, hardy and completely resistant to the threat of Clematis Wilt (Stem Rot) which is a consistent obstacle to the growth of healthy Large Flowered clematis plants. This book is the only one on this subject, and offers a valuable practical guide to viticellas, leading the reader through the varieties of small, medium and large blooms, and explaining the route to successful growth. The striking impact of the viticella combined with the ease of cultivation offers exciting prospects for gardeners.
