Hi there. Yes the video was very much rushed with only a small window of opportunity so I had only one crack at it. But I think i got some of the points across. Thank you jjj

Hi van and thanks for watching. I’m very pleased with them despite there young age. I think they will do even better with another year or two under there belts.

Thank you Wendy. Princess Anne is a rose I haven’t got but always looks lovely whenever I see it.

Thank you

Hi mate. Yes you know they will do well. How old and tall have yours grown mate? The older one I have I cut back hard in winter because it’s on the roadside but it’s gotta be 5ft tall again now.

You see all the weeds right :) but thank you we like it just how it is. :) thanks English

@@Jay_Jay Perhaps the weeds are part of its charm (of there are any) :-)

Hi and thank you.

Hi vic and yes, it couldn’t go to any orher rose when your talking about performance. Both have done fantastic especially the newer one. It’s first full summer and it’s already as big and strong as the older one. :) glad yours have done so Well also.

Monty without the brains!:)

Hi PB and thanks for your lovely comment. Olivia you won’t be disappointed with I’m sure. A fanatic rose for me. Outstanding in terms of performance. The first one I bought did droop a little the first year with young stems and an abundance of buds, but this past year has been stronger. The more recent purchase in its first year I wouldn’t describe as droopy at all. Either way I wouldn’t be without them. A great performer in the garden.

@@Jay_Jay > Thank you. Well my Olivia is doing quite well, and I'm delighted. I see you grow many of your roses in pots ...now how do you over-winter them and what protection do you provide them to get them thru the winter ?

EB flowered early and often for 5-6 weeks and has shut down completely since. Not an inch of growth since early july.

Thank you

@@Jay_Jay welcome

Hi mate. You will be pleased with your roses I’m sure. You will know some roses just take that little bit of time to start to perform 100 percent. , I’m sure yours and mine will do very well with an additional year or two under the belts. Earth angle such lovely flowers .

@@Jay_Jay True, roses grow to full potential from second year onwards.

hi bloombaag bro

@@rahiarman123 Hello, Rahi.

Hi TLC, I think many roses probably the majority of roses it just takes 2-3 years to really get established before we start to see it’s optimum performance. Some roses however I think can weave there magic straight away (perhaps on a smaller scale.) and I think earth angle is one of the former. I too have high hopes for it, such lovely flowers.

@@Jay_Jay that's a good explanation. Thank you. I have hope! Have a great day🙂

Hi potager yes sorry many roses I didn’t mention. I was kinda looking at the time and I knew I had literally one chance and one chance only before weather and work stepped in. Lark ascending has done very well this year. Adds that lovely colour to that part of the garden. It’s flowers were very short lived though but still a lovely rose. Next year you may Wel see it in the ground by the winter jasmine. I’ll check out its roots in winter. Hope your well.

Sweet honey bullet proof. I did say it’s not fragrant but some do get fragrance from her. Now that would be a rose if I got fragrance from her.

Thank you :)

Thanks Carl I will update you of course

Hi there. Yes that would be nice I wish we could all do that. Thanks for watching I hope you enjoyed.

They have both done particularly well for me this year. Especially the newer one I think with immediate strong and upright growth. And of course it’s early and relentless ability to flower. :) thanks abhilash

@@Jay_Jay yeah u r right... Give time they will perform better.. soo. I will order a few kordes for my garden.. Earth angel would be my first choice.. very beautiful soft delicate colours 😍

@@naturessidewithabhilash9380 yes mate of you like the softer Color’s earth angle will be good for you. The pink in the centre it does bleach out i found. You get a couple of hot days you will see this I think. But a lovely flower regardless and one of my favourites I’m just hoping with time to establish it will give me a little more. :)

@@Jay_Jay yeah in india and in my region temprature will go upto 44-45 c.. hope I will get that plants.. and will add more plants.. Give a try to fragrant plum and Lagerfeld.. they are very fast growing and unique shades/ shapes .

Hi nik, a great read as always and I shall try and respond to the points you make but remember once I start typing I can’t re-read your points. First of all sweet honey. Yes a great rose but a reason it only made it to joint fourth is a tiny matter that I didn’t mention in the video. When you have a stem with 20-30 buds on it, there is a moment in time just as the buds very start to open that they appear a little plastic. Or like icing sugar. Something man made. It only lasts about a day and when they open more you see it’s natural beauty. If a stem has a more realistic number of buds like 5 or 6 it isn’t something I notice. Does that make sense? Just a tiny negative. But for me a beautiful rose that flowers are upright and strong. Last a decent time. Above average in the rain. They do bleach and together with the longetiviry of the flowers you will see plenty of white flowers. But very strong upright growth for me. And one of my favourites. That’s as good as I can do. Your Emily surprises me, mine has been non stop and over the moon with it. Rosemary Harkness. I love it!!! Only had it a couple of months I guess but a rose that has already a firm bond with me. Lovely flowers that last a decent time. I saw it in blazing heat and it done very well. Fragrant, the most beautiful shape to its growing habit. It’s poise. Lovely flowers that attract the eye. Honestly I have high hopes next year. But very early days of course. Spicy in many regards is similar to Rosemary. Just that poise, a hybrid tea that gives more than one bud per stem is always good. Spicy Ive seen 6 or 7! I think in a year or two with additional growth many of my non DA roses will be challenging im certain of it. Eustacia Vye yes, for me this year they didn’t make the grade but I think it’s self inflicted too close to the hedge. The jury is still out I’m gonna probably leave them in situ for next year and see. Or possibly I will extract one and see how it gets on. For me queen of Sweden has been a little disappointing. Good first flush but then ran out of puff. Arthur bell like I said in the video has behaved like this for 3 years now. But fantastic in June. I guess some roses do better or worse from year to year. Gabriel oak hasn’t been droopy for me I have to say. I am trying to coax it to grow sideways a little because of its position but it hasn’t needed actual support to hold it up of that makes sense. More pinning it back. Ancient mariner is still a rose I haven’t got!! Anyway I hope your well nik. And thanks for the read once again.

@@Jay_Jay Thanks for that comprehensive answer. I think the Sweet Honey "icing sugar" thing is what I have been noticing to make me uncertain. My Eustacia Vyes are in a sunny (when we get sun!) open spot, so that helps. My Queen of Sweden like my Emily Bronte is last autumn's bare root, in a large pot, so too early to judge fairly - they are both about 5 foot tall but not that many flowers - I would think I had maybe overfed or overwatered them but my LoShalott has done very well under the same regime. I've just heard the weather forecast for tomorrow night here in the west : 4 degrees celsius, or less! That could cause a bit of havoc.

Excellent gardening junkie I will have to check all four out. Must admit I haven’t heard of any of them which is even more awesome. Let’s be honest It’s always good to have great performing roses that few people have heard about. Where in the world are you?

south africa is on my wishlist but it's not on sale in the UK apparently...

My earth angel was slow to put out blooms in the beginning. Even year 2, it doesn’t put out too many blooms.

Крутые розы. Но я не поняла как называется та красавица роза вначале почти видео, на которой и листьев то не видно. Абрикосового цвета. Может быть вы расслышали? Даль что не подписаны

Yes mate weather the past week or so has worked against me. Strong winds and heavy rain but we can’t moan about the rain after such a dry summer. :) look forward to seeing your garden mate when you’ve time and weather allows.

@@Jay_Jay I was hoping to do a video but the rain is coming down, hopefully will be able to do it this afternoon, if I do I got a shock for you fella :D

@@jasonwoods4811 bloody hell hopefully not a bad shock:) yeah weather here is beating up the garden now

@@Jay_Jay Lol no a good shock, I hope your garden win's the fight against the weather :D

@@jasonwoods4811 awesome I look forward to that :)

Hi there. That is lark ascending. Thank you.

I bought a For Your Eyes Only this year - a very pretty and unusual rose - but mine hasn't produced many blooms so far. However, I have learnt from experience that a rose can turn my opinion right around as it matures and shows itself off to best advantage, so I'm hoping next year it will stun me!

Hi there I have seen this rose in the garden centre and it’s lovely. I have one very similar and Something I didn’t consider these roses that have that form do very well in the heat. And surprisingly well in rain like defying gravity. :)

Hi there roontunes. I’ve no doubt Tantau are absolutely correct in there claims. I have many pots in my garden some with climbers growing in them. But all of these pots the bottoms have been cut off. They are baseless pots. So the roots are free to travel down into the native soil. Drainage isn’t an issue and worms etc are free to travel up into the pot to weave there magic. As the soil level in the pot reduces I just add more mulch. So many benefits to this. My wife does like vigorous ground cover plants that would choke a rose if it were buried in the ground, by elevating the roses slightly it appears to be a work around. The only issue I have found is the pots at the back of my garden are suffering an invasion of moles. The moles are going up into the pots presumably looking for worms that enter feeding of the goodness. This obviously is disturbing the roots. But I’m sure this isn’t a problem with the pot but more a problem with moles. Scent from heaven is a rose I almost bought so many times. I made sure I got it for my mum this year:) yes look forward to hearing from you next year. Take care.

Hi Karen, yes I’m trying to get the rose to climb along and above that front window, but first it needs to reach it. If you see earlier videos there are laterals low down going horizontally but not present in this video. Thanks

Hi very frustrating I know but I rolled the dice and got mine from eBay. Eplants Ireland I know where shipping worldwide in bare root season and rozenlottum . NL are a company in Holland that ship bare root to the U.K. who I’ve seen have had very positive reviews from. Best of luck

@@Jay_Jaythank you. I searched and searched and yesterday, got landed on eplants Ireland and yours look much better than their advert. I had Olivia Rose as my first David Austin frim Dobbies last year. The second one was Queen’s jubilee celebration but it had root rot and done within 4 months. All potted roses so growth is not great as it would be in ground. Would you do a video on how to plant roses, soil type, feeding time etc which I think will be a great help for newbies to plants. Thanks a lot again.

Thanks Jeff

Hi Cheryl yes I’ve no doubt Earth angle will do better in the next year or two. As will spicy, fruity and summer romance. A year or two on these roses will give the others a run for there money and level the playing field some. Bit more size, more stems, more flowers. They just need more time to establish I think. :)

Hi there, I’m not home to measure just yet but for time being I’d say avarage size. That is not miniature or small and not large or oversize. At this time of year I’m pretty sure the flowers are the same size as the flowers Gertrude Jekyll, Olivia rose Austin, etc are pushing out. Hope this helps.

That does really help, thank you 😊 I'm torn between this one and grace 🤔

@@klbirdwatch7948 hmm difficult. I’ve seen grace on yt and it looks lovely. I believe it flowers more often? For me at least Sweet honey puts up the most amazing show but then perhaps exhausts itself and stays completely dormant for a good month. I will see a third flush from sweet honey but it looks like I will only get a dozen buds max. But the flowers last well and do ok in the wind and wet weather. Best of luck with your choice. ;)

Hi there and thank you very much. I hope you enjoy

Hi there. Last year was its first year in the ground and for me it done ok. It didn’t have a numerous amount of flushes from memory 2 very good flushes. And perhaps another 2 with a much reduced number of buds. Of all my roses I think earth angel is the rose I want to see do well this year. A lovely flower. Mine get good sun for our part of the world and one is in the ground this year. so I’m hoping they do well. But earth angle for me at least hasn’t been a rose that hits the ground running like some roses can. But when in flower it looks gorgeous. Hope this helps

I’d accept that:) black spot isn’t so bad when you have a ton of flowers to go with them.

Hi there. Space is a reason. I have a big driveway situated on a sunny aspect of my house. I am considering lifting some of that driveway for soil. I’m also waiting for some roses to gain size before planting so they can reach more sun in the part shaded locations. Some are in pots to see how they get on with certain locations or just to see if I like them before planting in the ground. Some of the pots you see are baseless so they are just elevated above the ground level but the roots go down into native soil. All of the roses I have planted in pots this year have all had a 50 percent mix of native soil as I have found this leads to stronger roots. That said I’ve always had good luck with potted roses but long term ground is better.

You and me both. Whereabouts in the world are you?

I’m in Zone 8, NW Florida.

Hi there. There’s a few places that sell them. Off the top of my head Peter beales, cants roses, Trevor white, but the companies I seem to have best luck with are Jones the rose or englishroses.codotuk but there are several companies online these are just some I’ve used. Best of luck

@@Jay_Jay thank you!!

Hi there, I did have Claire Austin but it didn’t climb too Well for me. It was a little riotous in its growing habit for someone like me to grow up a wall. A lovely rose though.

Rose sweet honey ;)

Haha I meant chicken “korma” type guy. I’m not a big fan of spice. Hot spicy anyway.

Hi Vic, I’m currently sat on a balcony on holiday in turkey!:) That’s excellent to hear Vic, I have the majority of my roses in bud currently but my Olivia’s aren’t which is very surprising. Lots of growth but no buds from Olivia for me. Madame Alfred was the first to bud in my garden, must have been the beginning of April. But no actual roses as yet. Best of luck your end I’m sure Olivia will put on a great show. ;)

@@Jay_Jay Ahh bless you. how nice of you to reply while on your Hol's :) I look forward to your next video & pleased all is good with you, so exciting the start of our Rose growing season ain't it :) 8 new Roses in this year for me, 61 & counting of course. Thank you Jay, enjoy sweetie. x

@@vicgeiger9381 it certainly is exciting I’ve had many changes in my garden. Ive lifted some more turf and many roses now in the ground aswell as more arrivals of course :) waiting Eagerly for what the new season brings. Let’s hope much colour and fragrance for everyone! ;)

I don't think JayJay has an Abraham Darby. I featured one in the first 15 seconds of a video I posted on July 14th showing the magnificent blooms. However, as in past years, after an initial display of the most stunningly beautiful and gloriously scented blooms, Abraham succumbs to diseases as the summer progresses. I had to cut off virtually every leaf due to disfiguring black spot and rust, and now it is just a straggly framework of bare stems with a few pale, small and very unimpressive flowers. Abraham is my most delightfully beautiful and my most starkly ugly rose, depending on the time of year.

Really Wanda I’ve seen some great examples online with a ton of blooms. Let’s see what happens with mine in a year or two. :) thank you

@@Jay_Jay Well, I have mine for 2 years and she is so fickle. 😁 I got 5 blooms in the spring and that was it but those blooms kept me wishing for more. Spectacular.

I’m surprised you say that in your climate, they always seem to do so well stateside. Mine are looking awesome at the minute with loads of buds but will see better over the next year or two. I’d like to see more frequent flushes from them.

Hi there, yes my email all one word is Jayjay 693@ Google mail .com. Thank you

Hi Debbie. I can only apologise. I’m unsure at this moment in time when or even if I will create further content. In many ways I hope that’s not the case but I’m unsure. I hope your garden is doing fantastically well.
