We had a surprise flowering of the majority of 50 rosettes in Alexandra Park last year, but didn't publicise the location. So far been lucky with at least 30 rosettes counted so far this year.

A man stands with a Union flag on a flag pole, as he attempts to work out how to fit it to his Sinclair C5 electric vehicle, in a car park outside Alexandra Palace in north London.
