Thanks Ken for another lovely video of your roses. Just so many to choose from. I'm sure you love them all one way or another and at different times. Roses........... heaven sent, or should that be scent? P.
Lovely Ken. Madame Anisette, boscobel and bliss for me. Not one, two and three but my favourite scents out of them ones. Lovely Ken. Check out my response on Gav’s comment if you’re up for it. 😊.
Hello Ken, Meilland has outstanding scented roses and very big beautiful flowers. Line Renaud is already 13 years in my garden as a standard tree rose and had enjoyed her scent every year. Pacific Blue is a unique colour rose and the scent is a plus. I’m eyeing on Meteor, I like the rose structure and energetic colour. The number 3 PAOK already had flowers in my garden and I was able to smell it just yesterday, I do like the scent. The other no. 3 Boscobel is just having leaves planted it as bare root end of May. For your number one, Wollerton Old Hall, I can check it in one of our garden Center but Yves Piaget, I just can imagine it. Well done Ken! It’s not easy to choose top 20 roses for scent.🌹🌹🌹
Hi Gemma , yes picking 20 of my most fragrant rose proved quite challenging as most of my roses are fragrant. There were some that would have been on this list but unfortunately they weren’t in flower at the time of making this video. The only reason I purchased line renaud, pacific blue and annisete was all thanks to JayJay visiting the eastcroft nursery and giving his opinions. Meiland roses has become my favourite rose for scent and lasting blooms. My next order will be Mary Ann, lady capri and everything Meiland. Their scent is heavenly and smell like perfume. Something many breeders can’t duplicate.
Fantastic roses. It’s always pleasure to watch your videos. I’m not surprised to see here Meilland roses. Francis Meilland rose has well balanced old rose and fruity fragrance. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. -Rakesh from India
Thank you Rakesh, Francis Meiland isn’t sold in uk. It is added to my wish list when I place my order at lottum in Netherlands. I’m absolutely love Meiland roses. Thank you for your info
You really do love your roses don't you Ken? I'm not surprised when I can see how beautiful your garden is. Your daughter is lucky to have two tortoises. My childhood friend had one and it was always getting lost in the garden. You keep away from that rascal Jay Jay's booze cruise. He'll be up to mischief and lead you astray ha ha.😀
Hi Wendy, yes they have on many occasion gotten lost amongst the roses.These tortoises really gives me problems because I’m always in the garden and it’s my responsibility to keep an eye 👁️ so they don’t wonder off. 😂lol… JayJay he’s always up to something…Although he can be a bad influence at times but I do learn a lot from watching his channel. I’m sure whatever the boys get up to it’s definitely going to be fun😊
@@kenvoong5977 Yes Ken, Jay Jay is very knowledgeable and knows all about roses. I too have learnt a lot from watching his channel. I wonder if the "other end" knows what's going to hit them when he and Gav arrive!
I got hardly any scent from my princess Alexandra of Kent barely nothing. Was planted this year along side boscobel but boscobel has strong scent very sweet
@@cyprus1986 Hi Cyrus, sorry to hear that your POAK doesn’t have any a scent. On the website it’s sold as strong tea/ fruity scent and mine is really scented. Perhaps it needs to be more established. I know some roses smells better as they mature.
Pacific Blue and Yves Piaget are new ones on me. I'd love to say I agree with all of your choices Ken, but as you say we are all different - anyway this video is about your favourites not anyone else's. Scent is not a big deal for me since my sense of smell is ... sub-optimal. I go more for colour and shape. I have a totally different take on Meteor and The Poet's Wife - my Meteor is a new bare root and I would not describe the blooms as "bright and vibrant" - I find them dull, dark and quite ugly - but maybe as sometimes happens they will change as the bush develops - they do last a long time as cut roses though. Or it may be like the 2 Dublin Bays I have in my front garden - one is bright red and the other a darker red, although they are supposed to be the same rose. I have said before that my example of The Poet's Wife is straggly and more like groundcover - I will admit that maybe if I spent a iit more time and effort putting supports in I might think differently, but that has nothing to do with the scent and colour, which are both very good as far as I can judge. So maybe I am to blame. Anyway, thanks for showing us your choices, they were interesting and gave useful insights about each rose.
Hi Nik, yes I was surprised you didn’t mentioned Meteor. I find it’s such interesting rose, something different from the usual colours pinks , red, yellow..etc. yes all I agree poets wife the growth is little straggly and without support it would be disastrous to look at. A very good example for instance, you and Linda’s sweet honey smells just like what it says, yet mine and jays jays has little or no fragrance. I specifically pointed out that this was my personal favourite just to protect myself being harassed.
Where do you get Meilland Roses from Ken? We are missing out big time on these Roses. Ive asked Jay Jay to nip over to France in his Motor Home to stock up on them but he refuses. 🤪
Hi Gavin, buying Meiland roses in one place is almost impossible, and most retailers don’t have the breeders name on the roses. So finding one isn’t always easy unless you know the name and breeder. Example I know pcdm ( the one that died) is Meiland and I had the chance to go see and smell it at my sisters yesterday. The colour, scent and upright posture makes me want her even more. I know lottum does stock quite a few Meiland roses and that where I’m going to order them next year.
@@gavinparry5426 yes Jay jays a kordes fan. “TUINCENTRUM LOTTUM”. This company are very cheap and only sends bare root. They sell pcdm around £6. Most of their bare roots are around 6-8 euros. And other called soer Emmanuel is another Meiland rose similar to princess Charlene. They Even sell blue Eden rose and I’ve never seen that before anywhere.These are a must have and few others.
@@gavinparry5426ive told you I am going to do a booze cruise, it will happen! Ken your invited and so are you Gav, unless Lin wants to come along. If Lin wants to come along there will be no longer space for you Gav. 😂😂😂 CZcamsrs only 😂😂😂
😂 He’ll only buy roses 🌹 for women as we have seen on his previous videos…( blood womeneiser) . I know you are his mate and you can certainly forget about 😂

Meteor, koko loko pacific and line renaud have been my absolute favourite purchases this year. Definitely recommend if you can buy this in Germany
beautiful roses!!!
@@lazarusdouvos 🙏 thank you
Lovely show again Ken!
Can you train those Tortoises to eat Aphids? 🤓
😂 sound like a good idea Gavin. These tortoises really love eating fallen petals, saves me sweeping 🧹
