In the hope of creating something like the long-extinct torii revivlii, someone’s crafted cameronia poshio onto blairius triumphalus (which generally does well in the sun). But the plant is now growing wildly round and round in circles despite being mulched with broadsheet newspaper.
Advice please

When one can’t find decent horse manure in central London, will the shit from Mark Oaten’s face be adequate for growing roses?

I used to get my manure from a little man in Paddington but he has closed his business to concentrate on a media career. Can the team suggest another source of supply?

For ‘crafted’ please read ‘grafted’ in previous comment. Bugger - I should’ve bought that horticultural context checker…….
