- My front garden tour. Challenging year weather wise and it shows in the roses. My thoughts on the pellet and granular rose feed, and the importance of an even spread without heaping or piling it. Bigger more established roses might take more feed, but if so use a bigger circle with the same light and even distribution . My garden the roses do need feed of some description. But heaping or stacking those pellets in a small area just paralyses the roses is my novice experience anyway. Rose feed important yes, but very easy to get carried away.
The organic rose feed like liquid seaweed and a good layer of organic mulch is what I plan to do for next year.

I agree about the up-potting thing. They get bigger if in the ground or in a larger pot.-- because they grow faster The ones in small pots are stunted.
Hi. Yes I’ve kept roses in there original pots for over a year and (not surprising) the growth didn’t really happen. Truth be told I suspect many of the garden centres see many unsold roses remain in pots for over a year. And they just prune them back a little. Wouldn’t surprise me. :)
Another enjoyable tour of your beautiful garden. ❤❤
Hi Kyla and thank you
Stunning views! Really well done! I will keep and eye on the channel from now on
Hi there I just stalked your channel :) I’m busy right now but a lovely channel you have I will check it out properly later :) and thank you
Thanks for the tour it looks amazing.
Thank you
&Your Wollerton is incredile, I can't wait to get one!!! And if I haven't already suggested (I'm old, I forget!), there are 2 roses you should take a look at if you care for lavender & if they're available in the U.K., Koko Loko & Violet's Pride. Both are strong growers, great foliage, fabulous fragrance, stay on the bush for a good long time, & colors are as adveertised, truly lavender.We're having a horrific heat wave here in the pacific northwest, I'm watering & shading like mad, I'll let you know how they survive, in case England becomes the New Sahara Desert with climate change! As for the new bed, just go on, take out all of the lawn, & plant roses everywhere, you know that's how you'll end up!
Hi vintage lady. Koko Loko is a rose available in the U.K. and it’s a rose I have seen, it’s beautiful and as important it’s unusual I’m not sure I have space for more roses but I will bear it in mind. Heat waves are killers I know. We had one last year but pretty sure nothing compared to what you are experiencing. I hope you get some rain soon. Best of luck.
I think your roses are a bit ahead of mine over here in the west, but since you actually get sunshine that's not surprising! My rabbits seem to prefer the lush grass of the lawn to the roses, thankfully - I see them having a leisurely lunch in the middle of the lawn and leave them in peace. But I do check the roses for nibbles! I know I can't plant anything along the bottom fence because the sheep stand up, lean against the fence and eat anything they can reach. I agree with you on Elizabeth - she has a certain something. During the first flush of roses this year she was the one who always brought a smile to my lips - I see her personality as one of slightly undisciplined, cheeky exuberance. I'm all for big pots to encourage growth - I've put all my DA bare roots straight into 50 litre pots. While I am also in favour of cheap roses, I would pay more for bigger roses during the growing season - but online purchases could be a problem. My Boscobel doesn't seem to have benefitted either from the big pot or the feed (and I plead guilty to compensating with more feed at the easily accessible ground around the rose and skimping where my hands might get cut to ribbons - I will try to do better!). Your Bliss Parfuma looks really attractive - better than in a lot of online photos. Things seem to be looking up - we are finally seeing buds and flowers in numbers again.
Your comment always affords me a smile nik. Feeding I was gonna say the more easily accessible areas where you won’t get cut to ribbons etc but I thought that was just me. It goes to show a little nudge and people start to cough up to it. We’re all as bad as each other with the same issues perhaps😂😂. The rabbits haven’t been a problem this summer or previous years for that matter. It was just this March April maybe May time. That was the danger time in my garden anyway. Now I think there’s so much food around there not a problem but will see what happens next year. I agree Elizabeth totally. She is indeed a naughty girl!:) tomorrow she might knock me out with scent but most probably not :) but always extra pleasing when it does happen. The sunshine here we have our own micro climate I think. Sometimes better but often worse. I think sunshine hours here we are way down still on last year. Hope you and your family are well.
Glad that you explained the feeding Jay Jay as I too get so confused with the box instructions! I'll be less heavy handed now! Your roses are looking good in Bare Naked Lane😀and I think that your new rose bed is going to look amazing. I have great neighbours too. Aren't we lucky?
Hi lovely Wendy.
Yes she is a lovely neighbour we wouldn’t swap her for all the world. You can see her side looks much better than mine :)
Yeah the feed a strange one, not often do we see actual quantities go down so these are my thoughts anyway.
I mix chemical fertilizer with dried coffee grounds to put around roses. Mixing it with grounds or sand more evenly distributes the granules, and helps avoid clumps of granules in the same location. You can also alternate applications of chemical fertilizer with manure.
A great idea. How often do you put it down each year? Still only twice or more often ?
I always up pot the smaller ones.
Xoxo beautiful roses.
Thanks Debbie. Yes If the roots have more space (even if it’s only a little) they will thank us.
They are lovely ❤
Thank you Seniye :)
I’m definitely guilty of “heaping”. Luckily I’ve been using liquid fertiliser added to my watering can lately. The two Boscobel’s are great comparisons. Great tip. Thank you !
Hi Lin yes I suspect many heap, I know I have! ;)
Very brautiful
Thank you
Plenty of colour in your garden compared to mine JJ!
Looking good mate.
Let’s all see yours :) cheers mate
Jay your roses aren’t that bad, a little black spot but other than that they look ok to me .
The new rose bed will look beautiful once it’s finished. That was a good tip with feeding the roses.and up potting. My Elizabeth is in a pot 49 by 91cm and she’s huge.
Just goes to show roses do better in bigger pots where they have more room.
Looking forward to your next video
Take care
Ronni x
Hi ronni, well that’s what the the guy at the rose nursary told me and surprising as it was to hear I think it’s consistent with what I see. I have in the past not upotted at all and left roses in the original containers.. for a year! and have to say there wasn’t much growth in those roses at all. Hope you and Ray are well ;)
I’ve done the same with a couple of my roses till I was able to find bigger pots that I liked.
Ray and I are doing ok thank you. Garden work is going a little slow due to the unsettled weather ! X
Roses looks bright and beautiful now. Summer romance and Mum in a million both are good roses. On fertiliser use for roses I never understood concept of slow release. Nitrogen in Nitrate form absorbed immediately by plants and in ammonium form converted to nitrate in 3 days onwards and absorbed by plants. Better to treat them fast release in my opinion to be on safer side.
I don’t doubt your knowledge Rakesh. It was the quantity and perhaps more accurately the concentration of it that I think we need to be very careful of. If people think it’s slow release perhaps many might think more is good but that’s not what I see. I would be happy to feed twice a year with the pellets but not too much. As is next year I think I will go the organic liquid feed route with a quality organic mulch. :)
@@Jay_Jay Rightly said mate, more of slow or fast release is of no good. As per NPK labelling, fistful of pellets (35gm) is enough for 12 weeks supply on matured roses. Twice a year feed is needed. I only use liquid feed on potted roses as granular fertiliser add more salt to soil.
Yes, you never fail with the money shot 😅 top tip re the feeding?, have you compared organic with non organic? Lol just pop over the fence for a little cheeky prune, she'll never know 🤫
Hi potager yes I have tried with organic feed aswell and so far I haven’t killed anything with huge doses of organic. I tried liquid tomatoe and liquid seaweed huge doses but no ill harm that I can see. Plus of course the plant based organic mulch I put down for All the roses.
I can assure you she will know. Her side looks better than mine I know and it’s the look she likes. :) but will see if it reflowers hopefully it does. :)
Your roses are looking wonderful and you have sunshine too ! That new bed is going to look so good. The wind wasn't bad I could hear it just fine. We have wet and miserable weather here, it's been raining since first thing and hasn't stopped 😭The slow release feed I usually do a 30g measuring spoon per rose or 1oz in old money but I did give Sophie a bit more than that if I remember haha I think she actually raised an eyebrow at me and demanded a bit more 🤣
Haha I just got the scales out and 30g is pretty much what you see in my hand in this video. I did say in the description (but forgot to add in the video) older more established roses might take more feed but the important thing is the even spread without heaping. So perhaps a bigger circle or even two circles, but that even distribution so important. it even says so on the box.
Piling them granuals or pellets in a small spot leads to stunted growth or piled really high death of the rose. I forgot to show you Sophie also sorry, but I see a bud :)
@@Jay_Jay A bud!!!!! oh wow 👏🌹
@@Jay_JayNicely explained mate to maximise root capture we have to spread evenly into entire root zone.
Thank you for the tour! My soil is extremely poor and sandy so I use a mineral (inorganic) fertiliser three times per season, I try not to overdo it so I use my very small handful per rose unless the rose is very big. I often have to crawl under the roses to fertilise them, it looks rather acrobatic ;-) Your access to the roses is much better than mine. I also spread some old cow manure around most of my roses in late autumn. I seem to have a low level of Fe in the soil, I must learn more about it.
You and me both English! Its all a learning process. On the bright side you have a body to crawl under the roses, I have not :)
@@Jay_Jay If you start crawling under your roses on a regular basis (you could also try a bit of dancing around them, preferably with a rose between your teeth), your body will improve in no time at all :-)
Can’t wait to see your rose border once they’re all established. I have heard over feeding can cause more damage, Just as well I’ve been feeding my roses with just a small handful of the fertiliser.
Hi Ken I do hear your the daddy when it comes to food you have your own special mix!?! 😃😃
That's good to know about the fertiliser Jay....I always put a lot of tomatoe liquid feed into my Emily Bronte .she needs re-poted into the ground or a really big pot. Elizabeth looks lovely . She's beautiful.😊
Liquid tomatoe feed a good one Linda and it’s organic. I’ve tried to overdose a couple of my roses on organic liquid feed but in terms of harming the rose I’m unsure if it’s even possible to do.
I think you live in "Tornado Alley" over there! WHEW! Interesting, but my Parfuma Bliss is not as Pink as yours. I own two, and they are both more cream colored. My Summer Romance is gorgeous and has performed well, so thanks for the recommendation.
Thanks Patrick yes it can be exposed here. And glad you like summer romance mine is pretty solid and this year performing very well. Glad to hear yours is performing too.
That's beautiful Jay.. really excited to see your extended rose bed in future.. for rabbit security , you can do caging I mean just put a cage for the entire rose bed.. this will help yours roses to grow properly not just single roses put caging for the entire bed. So they can't dug roses or nearby roses..
Yes mate most of the caging in my garden has been lifted now it was placed down in an emergency in spring. One or two remain because the roses have started to grow through it. And I don’t wanna damage them. I’m unsure how best to do it for next spring but caging off entire beds is something I’m looking at. I won’t be caging off individual roses again. But hopefully I will have more companion plants next year also.
@@Jay_Jay yes I can understand Jay.. this kind of things happen in india as well.. but more worse because many rosarians also facing issues but related with monkey they usually came and destroy entire garden.. they cage whole entire area with big cages this will help them.
Btw that's a great idea...
I haven't given my young Wollerton old hall enough space & it's lost all the lower leaves. I only have a small garden & it's difficult trying to get the cottage style but also give plants enough space. At least I don't need to worry about rabbits here near Wembley.🍻
Shame to hear about your Wollerton old hall but I’ve no doubt it will do well in time. Mine will be going in the back garden beneath my kitchen window but first I want it to get morning sun so it can get more height as it will be part obstructed lower down. Not having rabbits is such a bonus mate. I honestly look forward going to my mums zero chance of anything getting eaten. A huge bonus that many folk don’t appreciate. You can get the cottage style if you work on it I’m sure. I’ve seen many cottage gardens in London with the cottage feel. They usually have lots of planting in little space funnily enough. :) best of luck
👍
If you can ever find 'Claret', I found it better than Deep Secret and Velvet Fragrance, and on par with Firefighter (different but on par).
Hi there rose claret a lovely rose. I did have it until last year but gave it away for no other reason it lacked fragrance for my nose. But a beautiful rose indeed. :)
@@Jay_Jay Wow, amazing climatic or soil difference, I guess. Stronger scent than Fragrant Cloud here. It is nutrient rich clay; coastal valley here.
Hi Jay Jay. I started Agastache from seed in the winter to plant with my roses to protect them, and ended up with 60 plants 😂. Had to hand them out to the neighbours. I have to say that I'm so happy with them. They have scented leaves, they are beautiful, and the pollinators love them. They are also perennials 😃. I have to say that the roses haven't been attacked by either disease or insects. So worth a try, although I don't know if it would keep the rabbits away, though. Many thanks for sharing your knowledge and showing us your lovely roses. Also I want to buy another David Austin bare root rose in the autumn. It needs to be a shade loving climber, preferably yellow. Can you recommend anything ? Thanks in advance.
Hi Kim I’ve just googled agastache it is lovely I will get one for the front this year maybe more. It is rabbit un-friendly so they say so that’s a bonus too.
A shade loving da climber in yellow, im not the best person to advise Kim. Lady of shallot climbs but not exactly yellow but a lovely colour. Wollerton old hall I’m very happy with for first year but more cream than yellow. Both perform well in part shade I’m told. But like I say I’m not the best placed person to ask I’m not that familiar with any others. Sorry. But have a look at golden gate it’s a kordes rose it gets many good write ups and I’ve seen it in the flesh it does look and smell lovely. :)
(Ps. The rhs website suggest it’s suitable for part shade or full sun)
A few years ago I planted a Bathsheba and a Generous Gardener against a north-facing 6 foot fence - the Bathsheba is not recommended by DA for a north facing situation, but I like to be a rebel and live dangerously! Although they get almost no direct sunlight (until they reach 6 ft.) due to other plantings to the east and west of them, they have both survived, have strong growth and flower well. GG is probably too vigorous for a 6 foot fence. I would post a video but they are both resting between flushes so there is nothing to see. As with many DA roses you have to expect a long gap between flushes. Another DA rose which might suit your preferences is The Pilgrim (DA says it's fine in partial sunlight and north-facing situations) which is a proper yellow rather than Bathsheba's apricot (which they claim needs full sunlight - but not in my experience, although it would no doubt flourish better with more sun).
@@nikkonch thank you so much. I've noted these 2. Have a lovely day.
