FRONT OF HOUSE

Rosa ‘Crimson Shower’: Who could resist a gorgeous rambling rose that can cascade over walls, arches and even the front of your house, producing a mass of showstopping crimson blooms? It’s easy to train and will begin to flower in summer and, if you look after it, those crimson flowers should continue until September. It may not be available till mid-February, but this is a gift worth waiting for.
