Gift shrubs and roses for autumn planting
Many shrubs like being planted in autumn. The soil is still fairly warm and moist, enabling the roots to establish before the temperatures drop. A shrub is the perfect living gift - there is such variety, some have beautiful flowers, colourful foliage and even fruit. The ones in this selection have the RHS Award of Merit, a seal of approval that these plants perform reliably in the garden.
