Jasminum polyanthum (Chinese jasmine)
Few other plants mark the arrival of early spring more prominently on the nose as the pink, or Chinese jasmine. The dainty look of this climber with its heads of sweetly-scented pink buds opening into white star-like flowers and fern-like leaves can be misleading as it is a vigorous, evergreen climber that will rapidly hide something unsightly in the garden or cover pergolas and arches in a cloud of perfume when in flower.
Jasminum polyanthum grows best in sun or light shade and loves a well-drained compost enriched soil. It has average water needs.
Flower Carpet ‘Pink’ rose
Long before Flower Carpet ‘Pink’ rose’s release in 1989, Werner Noack had the foresight and the commitment to breed a mega-blooming, easy-to-grow, low-maintenance, chemical-free rose — a rose that anyone could grow.
Where typically sales for any newly released plant will grow over three years then drop off, rose sales were high from the beginning and roses have been introduced. They are a rose series that performs consistently in both landscape and home gardens.
