RELIABLY MISCHIEVOUS

I think that ‘Rubenza’ would be an excellent name for a kitten: it carries a lingering aura of mischief combined with that aloof superciliousness that cats do so well. That look they give just before they deliberately push a vase off the sideboard could be described as ‘Rubenzesque’. Fortunately plants are considerably less trouble than kittens and these cosmos are more reliable – plant them out in June and they will carry a border through until autumn.
