Q – In 2015 when my grandson was born named Ben, I brought a whole lot of Benjamin Britain roses in his honour and planted them as rose hedge. I haven’t had any problems growing roses anywhere else in the garden but these roses have flowered reasonably well for the first year, then they looked terrible with rusty leaves and died back. I have mulched, watered, fed them but they still look pathetic – how long do you go on? (5 minutes 30)

Q – I can’t grow stocks. When I plant them out in my garden all they do is ‘mork’ as we say in East Yorkshire. I am trying something different and taken some of the smaller seedlings and put them in a large pot and I am going to try and grow them in pots in my greenhouse. (10 minutes 05)

Q – I have an overgrown shrub border about 10-foot-tall nearly 15 foot (4.5m) in some areas with Wisteria, Rambling rose, Bay, Escallonia, Viburnum x bodnantense ‘Dawn’, Cornas, Cotoneaster, all busily growing.

Q – Last year I grew a very successful crop of melons outdoors in the garden, this year I grew even more but one by one since the beginning of August plants have wilted and died completely. Is there anything I can do about it next year? (26 minutes 15)

Q – We have recently moved to an estate on the edge of Lincoln and the garden is medium sized and we attract all sorts of wildlife in it. However, we do have a problem with 5 overgrown trees. 3 Silver birch (Betula pendula) and 2 Viburnum. The idea we have had is to chop them down and start again – which are more manageable, and which will also attract wildlife back into the garden. (28 minutes 05)
