Title: Needing a good watering can or watering can rose. Any recommendations?
Post by: timdunn on May 04, 2020, 21:38
I have 4 watering cans, no roses and not a clue where they have gone. To avoid buying another can, I’d prefer to buy a new rose but am having problems finding anything that’s half decent. Any recommendations most gratefully received (for a rose or a can). Thanks!😀

Plenty for sale  on ebay, this is the type I use, fits lots of can spouts!

Cheers!

Good morning everyone,
the green plasticish rose material tends to break down after a few years and then leaves green powder on your hands.  I counteract that by giving them a coating of thinned clear varnish. 8)
