Tropical roses grow inn hot tropical zones at ocean level - while "regular" roses only grow in moderate climate typically at average temperature below 28-30 degrees C. Tropical climate usually is 32-35 degrees C or more average.
The truly tropical roses of the Philippines look all very similar, simple small blossom and usually only in 2 colors: dark red and soft pink.

Sandy beach surrounded by tropical vegetation and beautiful blue ocean water. Enjoy a beautiful ocean while relaxing in the shadow of tropical trees and palms. A beach scenery of a completely quite island beach - just waiting for you to take a bath.

agapanthus_plant_soc_marque.jpgI enjoy a quick foray into the Na tional Plant Societies Marquee as there are always a wealth of unusual things on offer that aren't available from the large nurseries. This year the displays put on by all the plant societies of the North West are especially good, with a wide range of plants available, everything from Brugmansia, Agapanthus and succulents to carnivorous Sarracenia.

Where some shows have a small table devoted to each one, at Tatton they do things differently, grouping all the plants together to make displays of mixed plant types from all the different exhibitors. The effect is a great display which really relates to everyday gardens, and shows that anyone can be a national collection holder and still have an interesting and varied garden.

plant_societies_marquee.jpgFor me the best part of the marquee was the stall, manned by groups from across the north of England and featured a wonderful mixture of different perennials, vegetables and houseplants all grown by the members themselves. Each plant was lovingly grown and labelled, and sold with the helpful advice of the person that propagated it. The effect was like a giant garden fete and certainly offered something for everyone. I was in my element buying far too many plants. Oh well at least I'll be able to take some cuttings and bring some plants back for them to sell next year.
