Geum
''Geum'' , (Latinized Greek for "taste" referencing the roots of the plant) commonly called avens, is a genus of about 50 species of rhizomatous perennial herbaceous plants in the rose family and its subfamily Rosoideae which are widely distributed across Europe, Asia, North and South America, Africa, and New Zealand. They are closely related to ''Potentilla'' and ''Fragaria''. From a basal rosette of leaves, they produce flowers on wiry stalks, in shades of white, red, yellow, and orange, in midsummer. ''Geum'' species are evergreen except where winter temperatures drop below . The cultivar 'Mrs J. Bradshaw' (with orange flowers) has the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. ''Geum'' species are used as food by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including the grizzled skipper. The UK National Collection of geums is held at Brickwall Cottage Garden and Nursery in Frittenden, Kent Kent is a Ceremonial counties of England, ceremonial county in South Ea ...

Rosaceae
Rosaceae (), the rose family, is a family of flowering plants that includes 4,828 known species in 91 genera. The name is derived from the type genus '' Rosa''. The family includes herbs, shrubs, and trees. Most species are deciduous, but some are evergreen. They have a worldwide range but are most diverse in the Northern Hemisphere. Many economically important products come from the Rosaceae, including various edible fruits, such as apples, pears, quinces, apricots, plums, cherries, peaches, raspberries, blackberries, loquats, strawberries, rose hips, hawthorns, and almonds. The family also includes popular ornamental trees and shrubs, such as roses, meadowsweets, rowans, firethorns, and photinias. Among the most species-rich genera in the family are '' Alchemilla'' (270), '' Sorbus'' (260), ''Crataegus'' (260), '' Cotoneaster'' (260), '' Rubus'' (250), and ''Prunus'' (200), which contains the plums, cherries, peaches, apricots, and almonds.

Rosoideae
The rose subfamily Rosoideae consists of more than 850 species, including many shrubs, perennial herbs, and fruit plants such as strawberries and brambles. Only a few are annual herbs. The circumscription of the Rosoideae is still not wholly certain; recent genetic research has resulted in several changes at the genus level and the removal from Rosoideae of some genera (notably '' Cercocarpus'', '' Cowania'', '' Dryas'' and '' Purshia'') previously included in the subfamily. Genera * '' Acaena'' – bidibidis * '' Agrimonia'' – agrimonies * ''Alchemilla'' – lady's mantles * '' Aphanes'' – parsley-pierts (sometimes in ''Alchemilla'') * '' Aremonia'' * ''Argentina'' – silverweeds (sometimes in ''Potentilla'') * '' Bencomia'' * '' Chamaerhodos'' Bunge – little-rose * '' Cliffortia'' * '' Coluria'' * '' Comarum'' (formerly in ''Potentilla'') * '' Dasiphora'' – woody cinquefoils (formerly in ''Potentilla'') * '' Dendriopoterium'' (currently in ''Sanguisorba'') * '' Drymo ...

Potentilla
''Potentilla'' is a genus containing over 500 species of Annual plant, annual, Biennial plant, biennial and Perennial plant, perennial herbaceous plant, herbaceous flowering plants in the rose family (biology), family, Rosaceae. Potentillas may also be called cinquefoils in English, but they have also been called five fingers and silverweeds. Some species are called tormentils, though this is often used specifically for Common Tormentil, common tormentil (''P. erecta''). Others are referred to as barren strawberries, which may also refer to ''Potentilla sterilis, P. sterilis'' in particular, or to the closely related ''Waldsteinia fragarioides''. Several other cinquefoils formerly included here are now separated in distinct genera – notably the popular garden shrub ''P. fruticosa'', now ''Dasiphora fruticosa''. Potentillas are generally found throughout the northern continents of the world (holarctic), though some occur in montane biomes of the New Guinea Highlands. Descrip ...

Award Of Garden Merit
The Award of Garden Merit (AGM) is a long-established award for plants by the British Royal Horticultural Society (RHS). It is based on assessment of the plants' performance under UK growing conditions. It includes the full range of cultivated plants, from annuals, biennials and perennials to shrubs and trees. It covers plants grown for specific purposes - such as vegetable crops, fruit, hedging, topiary, groundcover, summer bedding, houseplants, etc. It tests characteristics such as robustness, hardiness, longevity, flowering/fruiting abundance and quality, usefulness, and ease of cultivation. It pays particular attention to a plant's ability to survive and thrive in challenging conditions such as wind and frost. The AGM trophy symbol is widely used in gardening literature as a sign of exceptional quality, and is recognised as such by writers, horticulturalists, nurseries, and everybody in the UK who practises gardening.
