The following collection all score 8 ⭐️s and above
Please do take the time to watch the individual review for each rose, if one catches your attention, they can be found in my Instagram story highlights, or can we watched at any time on my CZcams channel
Don’t forget, you can also save this video for later if you need to come back to it at a later time 💚

I am a 27 year old who was named after a great grandmother. Gertrude.. I decided to go with the rose for some reasons including because it's my name..🙃
Thankyou again for all of the AMAZING rose videos, and for pronouncing Gertrude "Jee-kill" right.. everyone seems to always say it like "jekyll and Hyde"🤷♀️😊
I was planning to make my entire garden very sensory, and scent is a huge part of it.
I'm very happy that my Munstead Wood is recovering too, not without your help! :)
Can't wait for my Benjamin Britten to have its first spring flush in my garden... SA here, so spring is on its way! 🙏❤😍🌹
Thank you for your great reviews and inspiration. The majority of my roses are DA's. Some are fragrant and some are just beautiful with no fragrance. Out of all my roses, one stands out as the most incredibly fragrant rose, the white rose Maria Shriver. Superior health and never out of bloom. She grows along the beautiful Lady of Shallot, who has no fragrance, but Maria makes up for it. Love all your reviews. I'm looking forward to all my new additions thanks to you. God bless you. ❤
Ben, this video has been most helpful to me as I always look for very fragrant roses with very few or no thorns, so warning of lots of thorns on some varieties is great. Thank you.
Another wonderful video‼️ I’m so drawn to the lovely pinks but I love the Poet’s Wife beautiful color of lemon sherbet yellow…such a bonus to know it has such a highly rated fragrance‼️ Thank you for sharing your expertise with us‼️🥰❤️ Debbie ~ Texas 🇺🇸
Thank you for the reviews, Ben. When you talk about the roses’ Latin names, I think what you mean to say is the breeder codes. For example, the breeder code for Benjamin Britten is Ausencart. And I really must get that rose next year, your review clenched the decision.
That Benjamin Britten is breathtaking. 😍
Generous gardener , I plant three of these this year. The hate hard rain- I absolutely agree😂
I quite like country Parson!👀
I'm off to watch your review of that as well as lady Emma Hamilton.
Thank you.
Enjoy !
You need to make a part 2 😄🤩
Silas Marner scent hits me when I walk out the front door. I just planted 2 yesterday and they only have 10 buds combines😂. Generous Gardener coming to my garden next to climb up my walls while also being fragrant... 2 birds/one stone. Thanks for the review.
No problem-enjoy
Thank you very much for all your videos !! ❤❤❤
It’s a pleasure there’s a few more to come over the next two or three days
❤
Hello. Thank you for these great videos. I just found your channel and I’m truly enjoying it and it is so helpful as I plan my new rose garden. I’m wondering if you will consider doing a top 10 for damp climates. I live in the Pacific Northwest of the US and to say the least we deal with a ton of rain in the spring season and are starting to have really dry, hot summers. Your recommendations would be most welcome. Also, I heard you reference your best roses to grow in pots but I can’t find that video. Can you direct me to where I can locate that? So glad I found you. All the best!
Well come alone there is certainly lots of media for you to work your way through. Thank you for your suggestion, but obviously I have to work with the chronic conditions that I have here and that I’m used to growing in with my experience so I may not be able to bring that one to you, I’m afraid.
No worries. I am slowly going through all your personal reviews and taking notes. I’m pulling out info that seems relevant to my growing conditions. I also found the pot video. Yay! Thank you for all the great information!
Thank you gardener Ben for another great video! I am sincerely grateful for the knowledge and experience you share with us. Thank you for sharing your honest opinion of each rose. I will be watching this one more than once and studying each rose. Also, just out of curiosity, how are the Latin names assigned to/ chosen for each rose?
Breeders such as David Austen issued two names to the roses. The first is the commercial name, which is generally how we know them. These names are normally copy written for a period of 20 years every new variety of plant is also issued its Latin name, and for some reason all David Austins, Latin names begin with an A
I live in Florida. Full sun. So my first consideration has to be heat/sun tolerance. Fragrance is a bonus for me.
Could you do a video on the most sun tolerant. Thanks
There is already a collection available from myself covering the subject. Please do take a look here on my profile for it. Obviously our temperature is here in the UK even when they are incredibly high don’t reach yours, but it will be a good mark point for you to start with
@@the_gardenerben
Thanks! I will search for it & watch it.
Thank you!! Been waiting forever for this. The ratings system is also very helpful.
Can you do a video on what to do about Japanese beetles? They just won’t stop
They won’t. I’m afraid they are incredibly difficult to deal with a very unpopular suggestion is to basically remove the food source and that involves basically removing all of the blooms from your roses in the bad form for one season.
@@the_gardenerben thanks. Is it too late to start removing the buds now? Will they go extinct from the area if there are no more buds for the rest of the season?
I’m surprised that Wollerton Old Hall is not on the list. Thank you though. 😊
It ranks at just at six for me, so I would fall into a top 25 but it’s nowhere near this list for me, I’m afraid
Same here, WOH is extremely powerful for me. Goes to show all our noses are different, as Ben often says
Thank you Ben. How do you keep all the leaves looking amazing? My roses have a lot of black spot. Any tips would be helpful. Thanks.
This is a question I get asked an awful lot and it’s always difficult to answer in a constructive and helpful manner. You Plants For telling a story they’re asking you for help. If you have black spot mould and mildew, it’s generally down to several factors and the first is always stress focused watering at the base of the plant in the early morning, at least once or twice a week focused pruning, making sure you’re selecting an outward facing Budd and deep mulching generally fix most of these problems
Thanks for this Ben, always lovely to hear your opinions and see your amazing collection. I wonder if you have gentle Hermione at all? For me it has a really strong fragrance
I do indeed yes
Ben would you do us a list of your other fav most fragrant or favourite shrubs/plants/climbers. Loving the vids☆
How do you mean ? As include roses that are not David Austin’s ?
@@the_gardenerben I was wondering what other fragrant plants you love (non roses) And also which shrubs in the garden are your top 10.
❤السفير الضوءي من العراق مرحبا اني احب هذا النوع من الورود❤شكرا الك
I've been waiting for your best for cut flowers for 2023.
Is one coming?
Well sort if I’m rating vase planning life, but it won’t be done as a presentation such as this in video formation
Wish I could get my hands on munstead can’t find it anywhere in north east of England :(
Do you keep a look out for it using its assigned Latin name
Did you ever do a best of video for cutting?
I most certainly did
Can you please give us a review of roses that can grow in port shade?
Hello hello, and thank you for your comment please do look up my best for shade collection and separately, my best for growing in a pot or container selection I’m afraid creating a video that specific will only include one or two roses
Ben do you know what will be released in Australia next?
I keep asking da but they never respond I’m afraid
@@the_gardenerbenthat's strange because people love them here. Well thank you for asking anyway, hopefully one day they will answer you..
@@goldengirl65 honestly it’s so frustrating I have the all the contacts in there media teams but it takes them up to 6!weeks to respond to an email !
@@the_gardenerben that's a shame when you are really the best marketing agent for them. Being new to your channel I don't actually know your connection to them as I haven't had time to watch a lot of your older videos to see if you mention it. But no matter whether you are actually connected to them or not from the videos I have seen on CZcams from others showing their Austin roses yours are the very best giving full details on colour, scent, height, width, strength of the rose as to whether the plant is a floppy one or has strong upright growth, they are very in-depth videos and you cover all aspects in a great straightforward timely manner so you would really think they would do you the courtesy of a quicker reply seeing you have the best info on CZcams about them which leads to more sales for them. It's said DA roses grow more vigorously here in our hotter summers than yours and honestly I haven't found that to be true in past years. I have found some to really struggle to put on any growth but having said that your information regarding Clair Austin changed my plan of how I was going to plant her. I was going for an arch with Bathsheba but now I have bought an obelisk for Clair after watching your video. I figure eventhough they say they grow more vigorously here that hasn't been my experience with some so I will take your advice and go with the obelisk and well if she turns out to be too vigorous on it I can change next winter. So I really appreciate the great details you go into to help others. Hopefully DA will become a bit more punctual when it comes to replying to you. Thanks again for all the great videos. I do look forward to getting time to watch the older ones. Have a great day.
Such shame David Austin retired Munsted Wood yet keep the crap wimpy one I have Mortimer Sackler that should have been first to be retired either that or the entirely stingy Emily Bronte
🤣 yep, I've got that stingy lady as well.
