@@phamdangvu Hi, this one lasts pretty long. The flowers are beautiful and huge and the colour keeps changing by the time. As my opinion the flowers of Bliss are better than Summer romance regarding colour and form. But don’t get me wrong! Summer romance is not far behind, additionally SR has very strong fragrance, the flowers bloom in the cluster. Very vigorous rose.

@@phamdangvu Hi, Koko Loko is unique and beautiful, the flowers however don’t last long, usually just only 2-3 days in my climate (PNW). Koko Loko is also have black spot if you are living in high humidity area as well. Hope that helps!

@@SowmyaHegde-gk8xu you have a great collection. Even they have the same colour pattern, but the flower form and the habit, the repeat and the fragrance are totally different. I am sure you will enjoy all of them!

@@Therosecollector80 Angels delight is a Canadian bred rose. And it was bought from Select roses - BC - Canada where was also hybridizing this rose.

@@worthwhileplaylist2147 that’s Quick Silver Climbing rose from Kordes!

Thank you for your compliment! Yes, my garden has drip irrigation system, and all I can say it is definitely game changer, saving your time, your water bill, helping the plants growing better because the water goes slowly and deeply down to the root system and also I can mix soluble fertilizer into my drip system as well, highly recommend for any gardens

Thank you! This video was in 2022, so it was 2 year-old plant at that time

Thanks so much!

Thank you!

Thanks so much!

This one is pretty tall in my garden, usually will be floppy if it rains!

Thank you!

It has been in very big cedar container (24”x24”x24”) in 5 years and seems happy with that!

Thanks JJ, this one is easy grower in my garden, as long as you just top-dress with a good amount of compost in Spring, then it’s good to go for the entire season!

Sorry, I don’t have Louis Clements to compare with this one

My pleasure to share. Thank you for watching!

The plant size is about 3’x2.5’. Sometimes it’s a little bit bigger!

@@smallbackyardfun Thank you! It is perfect size for the spot I have on mind!

Thanks for your watching and compliment. It is my pleasure to show and share. Glad that you enjoyed my garden!

Thank you! I always have a spot in my heart for peonies. They are not just like roses which have a long season of beautiful blooming. Peonies just bloom once but totally they are on their glory for their moment. So I take that to exchange a whole year for one time shining. On the other hand peonies always bloom very early in the season. When roses and the other flowers are still developing their buds. Please add peonies in your garden, you won’t regret for that!

Thank you for your compliment!

Thank you for your compliment! Much appreciated!

Hi there! Thanks so much for your compliment! Much appreciated! I ‘ve been trying to plant a lot of bloomers in my garden to extend as long as I could for my blooming season here in our climate zone. That’s why I always grow a lot of varieties. I also have deeply passion on peonies and roses as well. Again thanks for watching!

Thank you! Peonies are one of my gardening passion. I am always spellbound by all kind of peonies. And moreover, peonies always have very early blooms in our climate zone. Regarding your peonies, please try to plant them in sunny locations (at least 5-6 hours of direct sunlight) with well-drained soil. With herbaceous and itoh peonies the top of their crowns have to be not deeper than 2 inches. For tree peonies you have to do oppositely, to plant deep to encourage they develop their own roots. Hope that helps!

Thank you! I am have a passion with peonies generally beside roses. I always wish if I ever had a bigger land I would use a big part of this land just only for my peony collection.

Thank you!

I know a lot of people just like fully double peonies but not myself, I love all kinds of peony forms. Sometimes single form is the best one, because it shows the simplicity, proportion of the beauty. Salmon Dream is one of this kind!

Hi JJ, thanks my friend, we have colder climate than yours, so in order to have some nice blooms of this time of the year then nothing can beat peonies, peonies is one of the best flowers in Spring, and unfortunately they just bloom once per year. After peony season we will keep going with roses for our blooming parade. I just have a look up your garden now, gorgeous blooming season my friend!

@@smallbackyardfun no I meant our peonie gives us just one flower! One stem and one flower, I will try and show you next video. ;) cheers mate

@@Jay_Jay no worries :), I got what you mean, BTW if you try to plant your peony in ground with sunny spot, I guarantee it will give you bunches of flowers

Hi, thanks for your compliment! Peonies are kind of easy growing plants, as long as you provide them with sunny locations, well-drained soil, so they should be fine. For fertilizing I just do once or twice per year, first time in early spring with bulb fertilizer or anything with NPK following this formula, 4-8-8, 5-10-10…at the second one is in late fall when they are going for their dormancy, this time I will go with bone meal. Even some year I skipped spring fertilizing and just did one time per year in fall, and they were good as well.

I don’t protect any roses at night or in winter. But may I ask why you need to protect them at night time? I understand when you protect them in winter but at night, I don’t get it!

Thank you!

Thank you! You too!

Thanks for stopping by and watching! My favourite climbing rose is Crown Princess Margarita from DA

Thank you!

Thanks for your compliment!

Thank you for your watching!

Thank you! It has been in 18” container in 3 years already. 3’-4’ tall, 2.5’-3’ wide!

Thanks for your compliment! Much appreciated! I don’t think there was a rain before filming. Normally the rain would beat the petals up, and make the flowers drooping down due to its massive size. I ‘ve never seen this peony gets brown spots after rain even my area is rain country (PNW). But the rain will ruin the flower season for sure

@@smallbackyardfun Thank you for your quick answer! While rain ruins the flower season for sure, it amazes me how different peonies (or roses) might react to the same rainfall. Some will look untouched, some will lose all their petals, and some will carry out as if nothing happened. I went to visit a peony nursery a few weeks ago, and seeing two plants next to each other holding themselves completely different after some rain blew my mind. I am definitely keeping Shimano Fuji on my garden wishlist though, I must repeat, so pretty 😍 I wish you a lot of viewing pleasure this year as well ❤️

Thank you!

If you’re asking just only single one blooming then I would say about 7 days-10 days from the point they open the buds until the petals scattered. If you’re asking all the peony season in my garden then I would say I have typically 6 weeks-8 weeks of all peonies blooming. Usually the first one is around middle to the third week of April and the last one is around the second week of June.

I am in British Columbia - Canada, zone 7b-8a

Thanks so much!
