Roses are one of our most favourite garden plants. But roses have a reputation of being complex to grow and prone to all manner of pests and diseases. I'll explode the myth and show that it’s possible to grow happy, healthy roses easily. You just need to give them some TLC and a little attention to be rewarded with some of the most exquisite flowers all summer long. This is a practical demonstration.

I am a freelance garden writer, writing for various national gardening magazines and websites – as well as lots more besides! Previously, I was the Web Editor for the Royal Horticultural Society, Gardening Editor of Garden News magazine and Technical Editor of Garden Answers magazine. I have written eight gardening books, with titles ranging from pruning and propagation to allotments and vegetable growing. I broadcast on the gardening programmes on both BBC Radio Cambridgeshire and BBC Essex. And I appear on Q&A panels at flower shows across the country and give lots of talks and demonstrations at garden centres and for gardening clubs. As well as "live" talks, I can also give my talks via group-organised Zoom meetings. My fee for this is £95.
