You videos are SO HELPFUL ~ I watch every video several times and write down notes about each flower ~ THANK YOU SO MUCH!! ~ from Washington state USA

Dear Ken…..what a lovely little Garden, fully packed like mine little backyard and very colourful…no colour pattern just pink next to orange etc..I love that ❤ Best wishes from Germany

Thanks for another fantastic tour and rose review! Your videos are always so informative and enjoyable to watch! ❤🙏🌻🌸😁

I only have a few DA here in Melbourne and Princess Anne is one of the best performer with non stop blooming for 2 months from Oct to Nov( spring here). Your garden is filled to the brim with beautiful roses and I urge you not to give up on Princess Anne😌.

Wow! Your garden is packed with flowers Ken, lots of colours there. The sun is out now since yesterday in my area and this is what I’m afraid, newly opened blooms are right away baked by too much heat when the last days there was just rain and too much water. Most of the roses are sturdy and you can see which one is a good performer in your garden. Your garden tour is refreshing, Eustacia Vye looks fantastic, mine is not happy at all. I was surprised with your comments to the rose Queen of Sweden, she is everybody’s darling and you just set here aside🤣. She looks beautiful to me, although the scent is also important to me. Summer Romance has a lovely scent at first but after a few days, the base note is becoming stronger like earthy patchouli. Gabriel Oak, first time I saw it from Jay Jay and I’m really going to get hold of him this year with Bathsheba, they are my favourite lovers in Thomas Hardy’s ‘Far from the madden crowd’. Minerva is stunning, fabulous colour. Is it almost the same colour of your Chinese wisteria? Well done Ken! Send my regards to your sister!🌹🌹🌹🌹

Hi Ken, love your videos and your sense of humour! Silas Marner is a really good rose for me in part shade and holding flower petals really well in 3rd year in fact I cut one and it lasted really well in a vase. It has so many flowers so it needs some support, but it’s one of the strongest scented in my garden such beautiful fresh scent that carries really well!🎉

Wow...it is like you created this fabulous living art space....... totally beyond my... Ken🌹

Beautiful roses, Ken. Always enjoy your garden videos. You have a lovely selection of roses. Thanks for sharing such a beautiful video of your garden.

Lovely Ken. The most amazing colour arrangement of roses. I always thought that from the first time I saw one of your videos. If anything it looks even better now. Your James Austin is looking fantastic. A wonderful video Ken the pressure is back on your sister now! P.s Are you sure your roses in the back garden are getting enough water? I only say that because it wasn’t a baking hot day today and when I look back over old footage on some of my videos, I now see from that footage my roses were screaming at me “give me a drink” 😂😂. I know you’re not as dumb as me but thought I’d ask. X

Beautiful selection of roses 🌹❤️ Love your Wisteria ! Wonderful garden!

Such a lovely Rose tour, Your garden is amazing. thanks for sharing

11:18 I'm happy for the upright and long-lasting bloom on Queen of Sweeden. It tolerates heat well, and the lack of scent dont really bother me. Nice video, as always, Ken.

You have a beautiful garden Ken .I love seeing your roses and your little island looks great with the Peonies. I kept getting a waft of a lovely smell when I was out gardening today and it was coming from Gentle Hermione. I'm not good at describing scents like some people. Your sister Lin is very successful at taking cuttings. It is nice that you can share roses with each other. Did your parents grow roses when you were growing up or is it something you started enjoying when you got your first house? Your Wisteria is stunning as is that purple rose. What a gorgeous colour!

Hi Ken, Another lovely look around your beautiful garden and roses; thank you. I do like the way one blends in with another and I like your thoughts on each rose. I know this is unfair but if you could only have four roses what would they be, maybe five? I guess Gabriel Oak might be one but I might be wrong. I really enjoyed the video and look forward to the next one on scent. P.

How old are your roses. I just planted 8 David Austin roses in baseless pots. One of the Strawberry Hill climbing roses is struggling. I’m in Zone 9a. Wish me luck 🍀

Hi Ken, I've moved my Silas Marner out of a shady spot and into a sunnier position 😅 Will let you know if there's any improvement. What do you do with the roses that disappoint you ? Happy sniffing.

This morning I was trying to convince someone on KZfaq NOT to dig up their Gabriel Oak, which he said was floppy and needing constant support - so there is one drawback. Although I would rate it up there with Eustacia Vye, Desdemona and Lady of Shalott as my favourites. QoS is too tall and flowers too high, although Jay Jay suggested cutting it back hard early in the year to keep it low - and it's not a rose I have any affection for. You're a bit harsh on Judi Dench - I like her flowers! I think it was Gardener Ben who was raving about Silas Marner - didn't he rate it as his number one rose one year? I am not at all impressed by it - really floppy and flowers which do nothing for me. Sceptered Isle (I know that's not the correct spelling but Shakespeare's version confuses people - it means Island (Britain) ruled by a king/queen with a sceptre) - I loved the scent when I saw it in a garden centre last week, so that's a maybe purchase. You were lucky (?) with the weather - not that warm here just a bit further north than you. Anyway, thanks for the tour, your opinions and recommendations - interesting as always. Your garden(s) are looking really good at the moment, packed with colour.
