Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.HYBRID tea roses continue to outsell all other types according to the most recent list of top 10 varieties sent out by Cants, the rose growers of Colchester in Essex. 'Just Joey' comes at the top of its list, an HT which it raised, with coppery orange blooms. Seven out of the 10 are HTs. The floribunda 'Dame Wendy' gets as far as third place. This is a new free-flowering rose with mid-pink double blooms.
More good news on the mail order front comes from Jeremy Maule of Cambridge. He reports nothing but good of Valley Clematis, Hainton, Lincolnshire (0507 313398), 'which issues an excellent catalogue, dispenses very good advice on the telephone (always the same lady, though the catalogue only mentions a Keith Fair) and sent me four very healthy and advanced plants with great dispatch at very reasonable prices'.
