    As the title explains, we are extending out our kitchen and losing a big chunk of our garden. This means that some of the plants will need to go. I'm confused as to what to do with them. I couldn't bear to let the builders put them into a skip!! Our house was built pre 1900, and some of the roses have actually been there for that long, apparently.
    I've dug everything that needed to be up, and put them into some of our own home made compost, mixed with shop both compost, so I think they're going to survive that replanting.
    My question is really what to do with them. Our garden will be too small, and is already covered in other plants to have these ones put into it. Is there anywhere I can donate that plants to? Does anyone here want them? There are two rose bushes, a flowering bottle brush and possibly more.
    Any suggestions are very welcome :D
