Nola Murray. Latched on to Latchers. Down in our shrubbery affair, I still grow the climbing sport of the rose raised by the late Alister Clark of Victoria, Australia. It is 'Lorraine Lee'. the rosy-pink, fragrant blooms are nothing: they are loose, and they fade badly. But, full of beans and benevolence, she heralds in the parade of the roses in September and carries on for most of October. Mine is never pruned simply because it is impossible to plough through the jungle of agapanthus, shrubs and anything else that likes to pop up from seeds blown from the park opposite. Not only that, she grows up and over everything, and I'm no monkey. She has even latched on to a large Virgilia which blooms co-operatively at the same time. Then she droops down over the footpath like ten thousand banners waving in the air. This rose does not stand close inspection, but distance lends to her all the enchantment she needs.
