I have memories of my Grandmother growing rosella plants in her back yard for years, her yard backed onto Gold Park, and she didn't do anything special for them, so have a look at any of the garden shops here and good luck

28 Aug 14, Jude D (Australia - sub-tropical climate): Unless you want the fruit whole just tear the leaves off then the bud is easy. A lot quicker and easier on the fingers. Also due to arthritis in my hands I don't have the strength to push them through any more.
