    Leptospirosis, a warning.

    As an ex ICU doctor, I can reinforce the view that Leptospirosis can be a very serious disease. I have seen several deaths caused by it.

    Which rose bushes have the strongest scents, & which online stores are the best places to buy roses?

    I really dislike the scent of Gardenias and winter box, others love it.

    Geranium Rozanne but which other varieties are as good or better ?

    Has anyone had a crack at 'Splish-Splash'? I did, but it needs a firm 'corset' because it gets tall, then flops everywhere. White, with blue 'splashes'. Sorry, not got a photo of it.
