I just wanted to thank you for the fantastic service you gave me when I purchased a Ruby Anniversay rose bush from you. I ordered by telephone and spoke to a lady who was very helpful and polite. I received the rose bush in time for my Mum & Dad's anniversary, beautifully looked after and very carefully packaged. My parents loved it. Thank you again for a wonderful service. I will not hesitiate to recommend you to friends and family.

A Dutch yellow variety of shallot that produces large bulbs with a lovely golden brown skin.
Whilst their flavour is mild enough for them to be used raw in salads, they are also wonderful in cooking - and of course pickling!
With its excellent resistance to bolting and good keeping qualities this heavy-yielding variety really is hard to beat.
- Set out 6-8" (15-20 cm) apart in rows 8" (20 cm).
- Take out a drill approximately 1" (2.5 cm) deep and push into the bottom of the drill (pointed side up) before covering with soil, leaving the tops just showing.
- Alternatively, take out shallow holes with a dibber and pop in - again leaving the tops just showing.
- Top Tips
- Recently planted sets may need to be protected with netting or similar to prevent birds pulling them out of the soil.
- Keep weed-free at all times.
- Avoid over-watering, but water thoroughly in warm dry spells.
