Your mention of the RHS evoked memories of old movies of Agatha Christie stories… probably Miss Jane Marple, though I don’t remember for sure; it could have been Poirot. I’d sneeze myself to death at such an event, but as one who lived across the street from the Houston Garden Society rose garden… one of the largest and arguably most beautiful in the city… for eight years about 40 years ago, I have to say that might not be such a bad way to go.

I am also reminded of the story of the frat boy who was required to make a sentence with the word “horticulture.” His response: “You can lead a horticulture, but you can’t make her think.” [Make appropriate gender changes if desired.]

There is little variety in the big box garden centers. Mostly the common annuals like petunia, impatients, geraniums, marigolds or begonia in a few colors. I prefer perennials, but those take patience and planning. And a good garden catalog to order from.
