Beautiful...🌹 I was very curious how is that Lilac Wine doing, thanks for showing! She is thriving without any care, unbelievable plant. Sorry to see Sweet Honey is not doing very well, Hope she ll survive. All your roses look very healthy and big this year 👍

You have beautiful roses. I have some rose bushes planted in containers too. When I bought them they had large blooms and the second blooms they are small. Pease tell me why and what can I do to get large blooms again? They do get all day sun. Thank you

Nice film. Lots of colours. You certainly have green fingers. We will visit at some point and hopefully take lots of cuttings!!! 😮

Beautiful roses Jay Jay. Sweet Honey will recover, they are very resilient and that variety is very strong. Next year it will be back above 5 feet no problem. Your Porcelain Parfuma looking lovely, thank you so much for mine, so lovely of you, she is resting after first flush. I can see she's very happy. I'm just thinking where to plant her at the moment, so for now she's in her pot. Olivia Rose Austin I put in early this year as a bare root she's full of flower again on 2nd flush, I love your Olivia at the front of your garden. That's why I wanted to get her because she was so pretty and seemed a really good bloomer for you. I'm very impressed with how quickly mine has repeated and this flush is definitely stronger & more upright blooms than 1st flush was. Kiss Me Kate is very pretty, a lovely colour ! Lilac Wine is amazing it just shows you how resilient they are, maybe it gets well fed with the compost etc that's giving it a good mulch ! Seanie looks so chilled I love his bed in the garden he is so handsome, such a lovely face 🐶Thanks for the tour, lovely garden and beautiful roses, the scent must be fabulous right now👃

Hello, lovely gardener---I'm a little late getting to the video tho' I've had it on my Watch List---been some crazy busy times here in the U.S. the last few days. I am so sorry about your Cadfael being disappointing! As I am discovering, he HATES the heat, likes cool weather & sun---now where will we be finding that? I bought a bunch of cheap beach umbrellas with the pointy poles to stick into the sand---on sale at end-of-season last year. It's ridiculous but it did help to stick a couple into some of the pots when we had a 10-day heat wave of about 40 degrees! He'll be back! Most of your roses are looking marvelous, and dear Seanie, having ice cream & a nap in the sun! That's the life! P.S.---I'm sure he would have eaten that sandwich for you!

Beautiful

Hi Jay Jay, I’ve just discovered your CZcams feed - what an inspiration!! I can’t believe that you have a Distant Drums - I’ve wanted one for years, but thought that they were only available in the US…? Would it be possible to share where you bought it from, if it was a UK supplier? It’s like my bucket list bloom!!! Thank you😊

I noted quite a few times you said 'I don't know where this one is going to go yet' and it reminded me of myself. I buy roses and sometimes think they are going to go, in a certain place but then I start to change my mind and become very indecisive. I then worry that I am going to plant in the wrong place and then have to move them again! I am like this with other plants too - it sounds ridiculous I know but I think I just want it all to look perfect in my mind. Thanks for the video.

Hi Jay. My Poet's Wife is about 7 years old. For the first few years it was very floppy & had to be supported, but now it has some good thick older canes at the base which I leave about 12" long when I prune in the spring, then the new growth comes from there as well as the graft area at the base. She is now a beautiful upright shrub, a great addition to my garden as she seems to flower whilst a lot of other roses are between flushes.

Wonderful video JJ as always 👍🏻🌹😂 Your Poet’s wife is stunning 😍 Also, your Deep Secret 23 looks so compact and beautiful! Mine is growing so tall and a bit floppy. I prefer the shape of your rose. Thanks for sharing 🌹❤️🙏🏻

Mt partner brings me out a sandwich I would be thankful! Never loose site of someone taking care of you

As ever Jay Jay, stunningly beautiful blooms of a truly mesmerising variety! All kudos to you! 👏 I too plant my roses' grafting points subterraneously...... However I don't get the basal breaks that you manage to get! I must be a blue thumb type😉 You are so, so, dedicated...... I'd have eaten the sandwich 😀 ♥️♥️🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹♥️♥️

Unfortunately garden life is like that. It give us mixed feelings of both joy and sadness. I'm sure Pomponella and Sweet Honey will return to their glory days. 🍀 Lovely video 🌹

Hi another great video of your garden & roses are looking great. When do you prune your roses for next year early or late winter.

Ah good to see you once again Jay, your roses are just lovely as usual. I missed seeing your garden last year, so it's great to see all your lovely roses once again ~ Patrick

Wow Jay Jay, Elisabeth looks marvellous, very colourful and her flowers remind me of Rosemoor just another colour….beautiful Garden and at last some decent weather for Sunmer even here…😂❤ I have Brother Cadfael also but only in half shade with 5 hour in the Morning and it’s a bit rain protected because it’s prone to balling, had him in full sun and the flowers got burned very quickly 😮

Lovely roses Jay Jay. Yours beat mine hands down every time although I have to say my Brother Cadfael's blooms do last over a week at a time. I'm so excited as I'm being taken to David Austin's in Shropshire when we're on holiday soon. Told you before that I have no sense of direction and I've been harping on for ages about someone coming with me. I know that I won't be coming back empty handed and I can't make up my mind which ones I want as there's so many. Just hoping there's still something to see as time is ticking on and the roses will be past their best. Seanie looked very happy with his ice cream. He's a lovely boy.

Just watched your garden tour - very impressed. Lots of work I'm sure but comes with benefits - even a sandwich. I do wonder if you're on a water meter or you just love your roses so much cost doesn't enter the equasion? Donna's bed is looking lovely too. One plant I don't see in your garden that I love is Verbena Bonariensis. I can't live without it. If you'd like some I know where there are some very nice young plants coming along ready for planting out. Shauni, or is it Sauni, seems to be taking things easy, just enjoying the peace and quiet. Cheers! P.

Thank you for the update, I really want to get a Poet's Wife for the next year, the flowers were massive at David Austin's shop, but I went for Charles Darwin this year and they are even bigger and smell is divine. Not criticising, but maybe there is too litle space in between your planted roses to my personal preference, do not think it is beneficial to those from different species. Some old gardeners only plant near the same breed maybe for a reason...I think positioning and space for roses are paramount. We have a coastal climate and tiny garden, our problem is rust and leaf-cutter bees this year, along with caterpillars. Although I want more and more roses, I find it unfair to compromise space/light and air for those that already there. And having roses even in huge pots for years..I would feel guilty, like keeping puppies in the crate). Also not sure that aestetics of too long empty stems with heads somewhere on the tops as I noticed in many ppl's pots is something I like. So yeah, just indulge myself in watching videos of lucky guys with big gardens and big roses varieties instead and dreaming of having bigger space to play with in the future..

Hi. What a beautiful garden.My roses up here in Glasgow have been battered with rain and wind.But my Jude the obscure is still doing well.Your video is very informative and helpful.Thank you.xx Liz

Hi Jay, it's nice to see a full tour from your garden.I did by last sarturday a Porcelain Parfum from on line Shopping. 😊

Thanks for another fantastic tour Jay Jay. I'm not convinced that the black spots on Dee Lish are blackspot. In blackspot the spots are rounder, they show up on both sides and the leaves quickly turn yellow.

Looking great hopefully your Sweet Honey will fully recover, to be fair that rose in the stinging nettle patch is probabaly in a prime position, you said you were throwing food waste there and nettles are a sign the soil is full of nurients, iI guess nettles also draw nutrients up to feed the rose as well.

❤❤👍

0:11 Everyone must have the Poet's Wife. The fragrance is strong old rose with definite grapefruit scent. Several years ago I wanted a David Austin Darwin rose, it was not available, so I got a Poet's Wife instead. I suspect that she is much above and beyond Darwin. A generous amount of quartering also. To have a Poet's Wife in hand is to have a handful of the finest perfume. I inhale her perfume deeply, then exhale it out of my mouth several times so that my sinuses are thoroughly saturated with her perfume. I also suspect that there is some as yet, not discovered aromatherapy thing going on there. My Poet's Wife is the only one of my roses under shade trees far enough away from her so as to not rob her of moisture and nutrients, so she is not nearly as affected by the "dwarism" of intense sunshine, also intense sun/heat evaporates the fragrance out of the roses. So my PW is not nearly as adversely affected by excess sun and heat. 2:26 Yes, I prefer non grafted roses, but for readers, the reason that many roses are grafted is because on their own roots, they remain, weak, spindly, disappointing, but when grafted to a robust rootstock, they will show fine , strong preformance. So, we would like the longevity of non grafted, but performance would be very weak for many of them. We are growing gorgeous freaks that never existed in nature because their weak, recessive genetics, would not endure their natural environment.

Fantastic video mate. Poet’s wife blooming is impressive. Lady of Shallot growth more than other roses. Mine in first year and many thin canes coming out. That leaves dropping in Pomponella seems due to sudden temperature change. Got La Villa Cotta rose here. Have a good day.

OH THANKS!, for putting me on the spot mate! I'm going to be in a cold sweat🥶 for 2 years until i see it doing OK lol. The Poets Wife is looking great as are most of your roses. I really enjoy seeing the Hollyhocks in the videos while they are blooming! Have a wonderful week.🌹

Donna's bed is looking very nice :)

Your roses are looking healthy and beautiful Jay Jay. My Lady of Shallot rose started in a pot and the following year I moved it into the garden border. Mine is actually about 5 feet tall and very upright growing with no support. It is trying to put on a second flush of blooms. It finally cooled down in Kentucky and we are finally starting to get a little rain. We are now in our normal summer temperatures of 79-89 degrees verses 95-100 of the past two months. Happy gardening, James

Gorgeous blooms!

Great garden, as always! My Penelope is floppy with thin stems and not as fragrant this year too, I suspect she loves the heat🤔 I'm trying a few tricks for basal canes this year to see what works well( from not deadheading to Epsom salt etc) . My best performer so far is dannahue- what a monster and prolific bloomer growing in almost full shade!

Hi Jay Jay. Nice to get a full garden tour from you again - seems like ages since you did one. I think I've mentioned that my Poet's Wife has been floppy and is one I've been thinking of digging up, but your cutting back technique to encourage strong new canes and this video have persuaded me to give it another year. It does seem that some floppy DA roses (Lady of Shalott and Gabriel Oak too) tend to develop those strong upright canes after a few years of growth. Oh dear, your poor Sweet Honey - but it'll be back as good as ever next year. As you may remember I came close to losing my Ab Fab (Juila Child) due to moving it when growth had started in the mild winter - do we have to start moving our roses around in December in future? Your mentioning overwatering interested me. I am sure any expert would say I overwater in a big way - my potted roses are mainly in pots placed in saucers and nearly every evening I water the pots until they are draining into the saucers, and if I see an empty saucer I always take that as a cue to water the pot. I am sure that overwatering can kill cuttings and weak or young roses, but I can't remember ever losing an established rose.

Love lady of shallot mine is only a year old so I’m still waiting for mass flowers❤️ Poets wife in on my list still. Everything looks healthy in Your garden😎❤️thanks for sharing.

Looks lovely. It wont stop raining in northern ireland! And the roses just dont like it😢

Not seen a Bonsai version of PL before.

Got to love Seanie :D

Sweet Honey does not like the Axe Attack!

My BC gets morning Sun and then zero Sun from midday onwards Jay

Hi Jay Jay !I really enjoy your wonderful channel! Ilove 🌹 roses! Iam from America . Can you give me the full addresses of Kordes and Tantau Roses in Germany? Plus the phone numbers? Would they ship to the USA next spring ? Thank you!Michelle

How is the motor home coming along? :D

Who would have thought eh.......TPW 😋

First 😅

Gorgeous flowers 💐 Like 151 My friend thank you for good sharing. Have a good relationship

7:16 I felt that ....🤕😥

Its really lovely. Has it a fragrance?

Lovely roses😍

Heaven🌈

Audrey Wilcox, Ahhhhhhhhhh!. If you didn't laugh you'd cry. We've all done it and cut off something by mistake. I don't know if you saw D.A.Junior on Bunny Guiness's video of his garden recently, a week or so ago? He doesn't seem to dead head, it seems, until he sees a new shoot coming. It might have been on climbers, I can't remember. I'm not sure I subscribe to that but certainly a couple of my roses shoot quite readily dead headed or not. I guess every rose is different. The Maid of Kent certainly knows how to put on a show which lasts a long time. Enjoyed the video Jay Jay. Thanks and here's a tissue. Cheers! P.

Great video, I’m after a red climber but needs to be scented-DA told me they don’t do red any more as it’s too hard a colour to keep true. The pruning method definitely works-I did it by accident as bought 2 x WOH after a visit to DA in May-the one wilted & I was told by DA to prune it back to regenerate it-hasn’t done much til this month now there’s buds on it whilst the unpruned WOH has just finished flowering so I get the pleasure of uninterrupted blooms now-fabulous. Looks as tho your toms tonic & comfrey worked as I see no black spot anywhere on your roses.😊

Great video as always-how did it go, I’ve been picking leaves off many of my older roses, new ones are ok so far. Comfrey tea smells soooo bad-I remember the first time I did a mix, nearly 🤮,🤢, a great feed but no one warned me about the smell 😂
