How essential is it to plant within the recommended zone?

If you have problems growing roses you may be able to get some help from one of our members - Woo - who is a rose expert. Although he does grow them in England.

I like India, what part are you from?

India as you know is a huge country and there are parts where roses and other flowers that like a cool climate do well but not where I live. I live in the South. I have roses in my garden but when compared to what grows in cooler areas they need effort.

The last time I was touring India was 18 months ago. We had a wonderful time. We did the Golden Triangle, then Bombay, Goa, Karnataka and Kerala - then on to Sri Lanka. It's a while since we have done the East coast.

We love the country, people, history, architecture and food - but I'm not keen on the humidity in the south.

I am glad you like India. It is so diverse that each State is so different from the other. You must have liked the Goa beaches.

I'm not really a beach sort of person so, although I think that they and the sea look beautiful, I don't use the beaches. The history of the areas, the culture and the way people live is more the thing I'm interested in. Absorbing the local atmosphere is a favourite pastime and going to markets is a good way to do that.

We try to do that all over the world. Attempting to learn the local customs and a few words in the language of the country helps us to be more accepted wherever we go.

The food is another major interest and we're always trying new things.
