- Sorry I rushed the video a little at the end.
First of all I’m no expert I’m just someone like you maybe who’s learning about roses. “I’m just a cook” ;)
Clay soil does get a fair amount of stigma attached to it when we talk about gardening, but here we are talking about roses. And whilst we can accept clay soil is poor for drainage and roses do require good drainage, this helps magnify our dislike of clay. But if clay is so bad why is it an ingredient of a gardeners best friend John innes number 3? Clay I’m told is packed with nutrients especially if fed from above and the clay has an ability to hold onto the nutrients long term. I know the roots of roses will drill into clay if need be because i’ve seen it and it doesn’t take them to long to do so either.
The issue of drainage remains of course which is why I dug the holes a little deeper and back filled with native top soil. Anyway like I’ve said in my videos before many times I’m no expert. But if you have a clay garden and your roses are struggling, other than the drainage I don’t think clay will be the issue. I’ve seen it said before on my channel by people more knowledgeable than I, that roses LOVE clay. A little of your own research on the internet may indicate the same. Either way I know the roses for me here in my mums garden, fed with a balanced diet from above have done very well in my humble. For a U.K. climate rose zone 8a I believe, they have done fantastic. If you wish to know more about no dig gardening I suggest you check out Charles Dowding, a very knowledgable man on the matter.
Thanks

Big difference between the two sites in your mom's garden with different mulches! Beautiful results, just amazing in such short time. Good to see your mom smiling 😊
Hi dharma yes it could be anything of course, a whole number of reasons! But I had no doubt about what mulch went down in my garden ;) thanks Dharma
I was very keen to see the video of your mom’s garden and it looks simply fabulous. Roses are growing well and are beautiful. Well done mate your hard work rewarded well. Yes, drainage and how you water your roses are most important aspects I learned while growing good roses.
Thanks Rakesh yes I did learn this the hard way. This is too dry, when I water I leave the hose nozzle inserted into the ground for a good 5 minutes a foot or so away from the rose so at least it gets a good drenching but I don’t get there often enough. In your heat it’s even more vital :) thanks mate
@@Jay_Jay Thanks mate. Yes I have seen many gardener sink perforated pvc/plastic pipe a foot or so away to give water and liquid feed. The trick will encourage mass flow of nutrients and better aeration to encourage better growth. Have a good day.
Blimin hell is absolutely fabulous everywhere not just Aka, your mum must be so happy , it's incredible how little you've watered, there's a lesson for us all there!
Noooooo you must water your gardens!:) I would water mums more but I’m not there often enough sadly. When I do water it I make sure it gets saturated through like leave the hose running whilst I have a cup of coffee etc. These young roses would suffer if they dehydrated
Thank you for sharing the beautiful roses. I always enjoy your video's Jay Jay. So Beautiful!!
Thanks Laura. All credit to the stars of the show, the roses 🌹 thank you
Twice in a blue moon smells amazing and the flowers are big
Wow its stunning Jay and your mum is looking better. You are a good son.
I think I need to feed my roses. My son doesn't come down but my grandson waters my garden for me now.
Well done Lilly at least they are getting watered. I don’t water my mums as often as I should especially in this heat but we all have busy lives. Just make sure he gives it a total total saturation when he comes :)
Just beautiful! What a lovely gift for your mom. You are a thoughtful and caring son.
She absolutely deserves it:) thank you 🌹🌹🌹
I have wanted to see this video for so long and it was definitely worth the wait. Its amazing!
Hi Davena and thank you. But all credit to the roses and the genius who came up with the idea of no dig . :) hope your well.
@Jay Jay you definitely need to take some credit here. Its brilliant. The colours are beautiful
Incredible result, JJ. I went back to watching the videos back when you put them in. Definitely gave me inspiration. Thank you!
It’s worth it as far as I can tell. Very minimum work involved I have to say. I suggest you look into it and get a bigger picture and see what you think. But for me no regrets ;) cheers mate
Excellent work JJ. Those Roses look very healthy and strong 👍🌹
Thanks Gav and thanks for all the advice you give on a daily basis. One day we will all see your fantastic garden I hope.
Wow it's looking lush and fabulous, how lovely to see an update I was wondering how it was doing. Brilliant Jay Jay they are definitely not root bound they are flying. I think Jason from Fraser Valley does the same, just digs small hole and doesn't add anything at the point of planting and Jason can grow roses ! Thanks for showing us your Mum's lovely garden it's beautiful and must give her lots of pleasure, such a lovely thing to have done and I've done two no digs because of it and they are doing really great, your Mum looks well.
Hi soulgirl yes Jason from Fraser valley farms, the small hole technique i did give him all credit in a couple of my videos back I did say it’s all his idea, I believe I called him the daddy. Defo not my idea :) 😂😂. But of all the methods the one I found best results with. Glad your no dig has worked well for you also it’s worth it in my opinion :)
@@Jay_Jay I was just meaning if it's good enough for Jason etc. it's good enough for any of us haha and with you saying someone had said they would be root bound, if they are root bound I'll eat my new sun hat ! anyway it's turned out fabulous they are healthy looking stunning. I love it, you created a fabulous rose garden for your Mum.
@@soulgirlktf oh I’m with ya. Good enough for Jason indeed ;)
It looks so beautiful, your Mum must be over the moon, l have copied your same technique with a border of hydrangea limelight, and they are thriving also. Thanks.
Don’t thank me I just copied what I saw from Charles Dowding.:) Glad it worked for you with hydrangeas. Having dug and “maintained” many beds in my garden this is a far easier way i think. Thanks punter and well done again.
You are beautiful garden and beautiful roses 🌹
Thank you
The garden is fabulous! And, I just went out and bought a bunch of cow poop, lol. Curious how much rain your mum gets a week? I'm happy to see those roses thriving in clay soil, it gives me hope. Comparing her garden to mine, I think my lack of rain and organic matter has really taken a toll on my soil. There is also the zone difference - I think the UK is like a zone 8 (?) compared to my zone 6a so I think my roses have a bit of catching up to do. You know what the bad part about watching your videos? I see roses that I now want in my garden!!!!! Oh dear Lord......
Hi Diane, rain wise we had a very wet April. Downpours every day if I recall. But I would guesstimate we’ve had zero rain now for over a month? Little rain in May. When I water her roses I do saturate them. I create a hole in the ground with a cane or something about a foot from the bud Union and stick the nozzle of the hose pipe in it. I then leave the hose for 5,10 minutes depending on what I’m doing so when I do water they get watered. Then I move to the next. But it has been baking hot here for what seems like an age. Almost drought like. Yes It’s rose zone 8 and I think a or b. Clay soil I’m told roses love. My mums happens to be thick clay and it’s clay’ee where I live. Drainage is of course the problem for clay but I don’t get to my mums as often as I’d like. If I were you I would try feeding from above without disturbing the soil with a balanced mulch with good nutrients. Well rotted horse manure I’m sure is fine gardners have been using it for centuries. That will work it’s way down over time and feed that soil and the clay will help lock those nutrients in as opposed to pass through faster like many composts. This is what I’m being told. Best of luck and let us know how you get on ;)
Hi! Jay...Wonderful and successful experiment.👍
Thank you
good to see you back Jay , looking good on the no dig
Hi Callum and good to hear from you again too. Thanks mate
Looks like you lot in the UK are getting more sun this summer than we are in California! Over here, where I live, we’ve had only one day of sunshine so far in the month of June. My roses are anaemic this year!
Wow that is surprising. Yes it’s been a very dry and hot June. Unusually dry and hot for the U.K. don’t worry I’m sure your roses are saving themselves, the pent up energy won’t go to waste in somehwere like California I’m sure.
Hi jay
Was very interested in how your mums Rose path was getting on?
Well I’m very pleased to see its coming on Beautifully, you have done an Amazing job and it has paid off. When you first started out all I kept thinking was, why did you not try it with one Rose first, just encase it does not work 🤔🤔🤔.
You are right about no one else has done the No Dig on any big plants?
I would love for you to do this again in your back garden, so we can see how some of your Roses that are in your pots, get put in the No Dig Method, or do you think you should not go that far and just use the smaller plants that are only young?
I’m sorry to read that your mum has been poorly, I hope now she is back home and can enjoy the garden again, take care, thank you for sharing your flower 🌹 journey ups and downs 🙏
Hi Mandy. A good point and ordinarily I would have tried one rose first. However I was trying to transform the garden ready for a funeral and only had realistically a matter of hours. I had done the research as much as I could have done prior so decided to just bite the bullet.
You have no idea how much I’d love to attempt in my garden what I done here. But sadly my wife is not eager for me to transform the grass in our back garden as we have a dog. But personally I would love to. I’ve zero doubt it would work with my potted roses. :) thanks Mandy.
You’ve done an amazing job with your mum’s garden. The roses are fabulous
That's turned out brilliant Jay Jay. Your mums garden looks lovely now. You've done a cracking job!
Interesting with your two types of mulch and the difference in the size of the roses. I've just done a no dig border myself (no roses in just yet) and i've used horse manure. If only i'd of waited a couple of weeks more, i'd of used the plant based. I'm sure they will still be great, just a bit smaller!
Great video, as always :)
Hi punter I’m sure I replied to you but it appears not to have come out. Horse manure I’m sure is fine they have been using it for centuries and still using it now it must be of benefit. Keep us updated as to how it goes and best of luck. Thanks so much.
Love your video, you’ve got a wonderful voice and I adore the way you doing it for your mother. Top-notch, you are the best
Lovely, sorry I’ve only just seen this comment thank you.
You did a great thing for her
Thank you Vera she deserves it ;)
Simply amazing 🌹
Thanks Seniye
Looks absolutely fabulous!
Thank you :)
You definitely have a green thumb👍 Your mom garden is stunningly beautiful 🌹🌹🌹🌹
Thank you 🌹🌹🌹
You’ve done wonderful with your moms rose garden ☺️ I was so nice to see a graden tour thank you Jay 😃
Hi there Celina glad you enjoyed. And good to see your garden doing well.
Thank you so much 🙂
Wow! Excellent work Jay Jay! Your Mom must be so happy with the result. Julia child rose is stunning, lovely collection!😍
Thanks Gemma several of my favourites here :)
Beautiful 💕
Thank you
Your mums rose garden is absolutely stunning compared to when you planted the roses. I can hardly believe it. I have watched it several times. My Emily Bronte isn't doing too well as when I transplanted it I broke a long piece of root off but the other roses are doing well.
That’s great to hear Linda
Thanks for the update of your mum's garden, it's looking ace mate, that a very nice thing to do for your mum, by the way how is your mum? I hope she is doing well :D
Hi mate she’s good thanks she did have a heart attack a few months ago which was a worry but on the mend now. Cheers mate
@@Jay_Jay Sorry to hear that mate, but glad she is on the mend now :D
Beautiful garden 😊
Thank you.
What an awesome Son you are .❤ roses like clay I think 🤔.
The rose garden turns out fabulous! The mulch settled so well. I remember it’s a huge bag of mulch last year😂 thank you very much for sharing and all the best to your family.🌹🌹
Thanks hina yes we are very pleased with it. As always all credit to the roses ;)
Amazing garden lucky mom❤️❤️❤️
Bless you. Lucky son ! ;)
Deep watering and liquid feeds in sumer and the roses will flourish in my experience.😊
absolutely fabulous 😉 and tell your mum mine’s a Guinness.
That made me laugh out loud :)
P. S. I forgot to say that's a beautiful idea of the love heart for your mum
Yes Lilly but she won’t let me put a fork in the ground again. She sees it as a danger and huge cost if the gas people come out again. And sadly the workmen who came out to fix it told her I shouldn’t plant any more roses in the ground! But she has plenty there she’s very happy
When you put organic matter such as compost, aged manure, mulch on top of the soil. They will hold moisture in the soil. The worms will feed and poop. Do the job to loosen the clay soil= good drainage fertile soil!
I'm glad your mom is doing better!
Thanks for the explanation. I did hear it was more than worms alone. But millions of micro organisms and other microscopic life all doing there bit. But how true that is I don’t know. Thank you
@@Jay_Jay all those are true! Fungi as well. I like to use worm as indicator of healthy soil because I actually can see them! I'm in Sacramento, CA. Our soil is hard clay and we dont get much rain
Thats a great success mate... Love to see ur mom garden. Your hard work payd off really well...
Want to know about ur rose Jasmina ??
What a beautiful rose collection! Actually, I have been told countless times that clay soil is much better than my poor, sandy soil. I believe roses like clay soil, what they do hate is compact soil.
Thank you English when are we going to get to see a wander around your roses next ? :)
@@Jay_Jay There is a recent short with a few interesting roses, a proper video is in the making :-) Thank you for asking!
I remember you starting this last year and it's great to see your results. Beautiful healthy roses. You and your mum must be well pleased. I garden on clay soil and it was a nightmare to dig when I first moved here (house is a new build) but I've dug in so much farmyard manure and compost that it's now okay and my plants seem healthy. Does your friend Gav have a channel?
Hi Wendy glad to hear you’ve enriched the soil. I have dug up clay before in my garden and got rid but from now on I will put down mulch and let the other forms of life do the digging. Hopefully not moles!:) Gav has got a CZcams channel but very sadly he doesn’t upload content to it. :( Thanks Wendy
@@Jay_Jay Yes, I've dug out bags of clay too and my brother's always glad of it for his pond. Pity that Gav doesn't upload as he sounds very knowledgeable. I really enjoy Darren Harwood's channel as he has so many different varieties of roses and his plants are really healthy. I also enjoy your channel very much. Thanks for replying and take care.
Jay jay roses love clay soil as long as it is not waterlogged in my experience.😊
Beautiful roses! What did you say you put on top of the cardboard?
So pretty . May I ask what are the purple flowers?
Wow, looks stunning!
What mulch did you use as whatever it was, it's had a wonderful effect on the roses
Hi I used an organic plant based mulch from plantgrow dot co dot uk. I used the same mulch in my garden this spring mid April time. But mine still has a couple of inches to sink down. I think a month or so earlier would have been better.
@@Jay_Jay thank you, I'll look into that cus your mum's roses are just beautiful considering how new they are. She's a very lucky lady
Jay, why don't you have any Jude the obscure, it's the best smelling DA for me and the flower is stunning? Also, don't think you have Mustead wood either? I'm not a fan of a flower but it smells nice too.
Hi corona, Jude the obscure is lovely I saw it at da and it was gorgeous. It’s discontinued now I believe. Munstead wood I tried to get several times but was always out of stock :(
@@Jay_Jay right, I can get you a cutting for both then. I also order roses from Netherlands, they had Emma and munstead this winter, not sure if it's going to be available next winter tho. I will let you know. I'll be taking cuttings this summer and happy to send them, if they root lol.
Please video you putting down the mulch at your home. I wanna do the same but watch the expert first.
