Ribes - Elkingtons White


Ribes - Elkingtons White

New last season, it is a bit leggy so will cut it back now I have seen the flowers (when it has finished flowering) thinking of putting a pink/red one at the side of it to contrast with it. Karensue told me about this one it is very pretty.

not that I have noticed but these are the only two flowers on this new bush. Maybe when it has lots, hopefully next year, it will be perfumed, but to be honest I have no idea if it is supposed to be perfumed maybe Karensue will let us know.

Just thought I'd have a quick look while I've got 5mins. I've never seen a white one before. Are they quite common Barbara. Its lovely.

Hi Rose, do you know I have not got a clue, Karensue told me about it and I saw it and went for it, think I still prefer the pink/red one, I am not a white fan for flowers in the garden have a few but I like the more vibrant colours. After saying that it is very pretty. Hope you are not overdoing all that allotment work. lol. I know if you are like me you will be. lol. Good to speak to you again.

I am going to get the pink one too and plant it alongside this white one so that I get a contrast :o)

They will look lovely side by side;0)
