Just to keeop you all updated, I've bought 5 bush roses and a climbing rose (it was the only purple one), now those I know I can grow, or I have grown them in the past by planting them and forgetting about them anyway.

Whilst out today, I also spotted that most of whats left in pound land are just labelled "Bulbs".
Any clues to what they need?
We use chemicals in this garden, just as god intended

A socket and some electricity?  ;)

Seriously, they could be almost anything. Description? Picture?
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

I hate to state the obvious, but would suggest a  gardening book - there are plenty on the market for new gardeners. Of course, it is always good to be able to ask someone directly but it will be a lot easier for you with a small amount of basic knowledge.

They had names, but I cant remember them, in the little box where other stuff said "perrenial", these said "bulb".
It was most confusing

It's not confusing if you remember the names  :lol:
All you can do is plant them and see what comes up, bulbs don't normally need any special attention :)
