    Does anyone know where I can purchase 'Tom Thumb' in the U.K.? I bought a plant 30 years ago for a client at Ingwersens Alpine nursery in Sussex but they ceased to exist in 2008. They also had a huge 'Pompom de Paris' growing 5 metres into a holly tree. I would very much like to grow this pretty rose again.

    Does it have to be the UK? You haven't done the hard Brexit yet, so you're still connected to civilisation. There's a garden in France has it, so presumably it's available in France if you can't get it in the UK.

    Pompom de Paris Cl is available from David Austin (unless they've dropped it recently).

    Thank you very much, I'll order one from France before Article 50 gets triggered and we're cast off into the wilderness!

    The picture Susan's New Zealand Rose Garden is not correct. Tom Thumb is a dark red, and this is clearly a bright orange color.
