Beautiful garden Darren. So well planned and ❤ how you blended the colors. Such a joy to take a stroll through your beautiful garden of trees, roses and perennials. I love how you have created a garden for nature - it makes it so much more special.

Thank you Darren loved the tour x

Well done on a beautiful garden. Id love to stand and take in the scent. Looking stunning♡☆☆☆

Love all the roses!! My garden is the same - very colorful with all my roses and I wouldn’t have it any other way! your garden is absolutely gorgeous ❤

O.K, Back for Act 2! I do enjoy your conemplative manner of speeking, some rosarians talk loudly, forcefully as if they are drill sergeants, or auctioneers! 😆😆 After a day of high intensity work, it is relaxing to not be bellowed at! LOL! 24:03 Start a new channel for "Darren Unhinged" where passion prevails and language is spicy! LOL! Our rain experience her in Ohio was a hammering deluge 2 weeks ago that flooded out 10% of the huge vegetable garden, now for this entire week we swelter under 90 to 95 degree heat for an entire week with no rain, none forcast until Sunday, but when the atmosphere is so hot and dry, it oftentimes evaporates before it reaches the ground. 24:45 Fragrance is composed of various types of alcohols, so high heat and unrelenting rain can wash away scent. 25:52 Oh my! Perfectly quartered Munstead Wood, although quartering is much more visible in light colored roses due to shading from raking light. Anyhow, your abundant rain has all greenery looking fresh, bright springtime looking, here in our hot dry weather, plants are beginning to look weary, August like. 26:24 Last year, I nearly bought a Desdemona, it sounds as though I need one, perhaps low petal count turned me off? I look for high petal count, like around 100 petals, centfeulle, Centifolia. I love roses that are stuffed to the gills with petals and no stamens visible. 26:40 Alas! Slugs and snails dining on your lily leaves. 27:49 My oriental lilies, taller than I am, Conca D'Or, Big Brother, African Queen, Mrs. Schlieman, all set to bloom, they make massive trumpets exhaling their exotic, spice fragrance into the night air, every garden must have fragrant oriental lilies. 27:49 Yes, this is the time of year that we longed for the entire winter, these are the good old days! My few roses that are prone to blackspot, at worst, they will drop all of their leaves, then recover for a wonderful late summer/autumn show. Also, due to less light available in autumn, the leaves and flowers will grow larger in an effort to capture the amount of light that they want. 28:29 "jwa du veevre" Joy of life, I studied French language for two years, in French, as in many western European languages, the 'r' sound is made in te back of the throat as if clearing the throat and the closest English equivalent is the letter "h". Any foreign culture obsessed with beauty and goodness, I love. Joie de Vivre, beautifully quartered. a "pinl lemonade" sort of color, quite lovely. You are a better rose salesman than the catalogs and web sites, because we know that your opinion is honest and not commercially driven. 31:28 Your foxgloves and lilies and valerian etc. really do create the quitessential cottage garden look, and not merely like a sales lot for roses, now, if you can just get alyssum to be dripping out of your pots, the gorgeousness would be amped up considerably. My alyssum are self seeding, they are around 2 inches tall now, but they start slow, then go like a freight train as summer progresses, and get enough of them, your air will be saturated with their honey scented perfume. Just get a few to start with , you shall not be disappointed. 31:46, a very successful plan. I think of strong colors, like oranges, reds etc. as spices to be used in small amounts. too may stong colors make the eyes go weary. Accomplished fine art painters will use small areas of strong colors to guide the viewer's gaze to where the artist wants it to go. In my opinion, strong colors need to be used sparingly and jusiciously, which you have done quite well. 32:36 Yes, digitalis are good neighbors, unlike morning glories which slay everything around them, my interest in morning glories has pegged on empty. 33:32 Oy yes! My Eustacia Vye has come into prime of life this years, she lives in a massive pot, I drag her into the 45 degree room for winter, so, she blooms EARLY, masses of large blooms, intensely fragrant with old rose and grapefruit undernotes in the scent profile. Every rose grower must have Eustacia Vye. At the same time that reader plant David Austin's "instant gratification" roses, they should plant one old vintage rose plant that blooms on the previous year's growth and will not bloom the first year. MANY old, once and done roses ar soul meltingly beautiful, the finest being the Old, Common Pink Moss rose. The Victorians were mad about them, they were THE rose to have during the 18th century, mine quite outdid itself this springtime. Now it is resting while it begins generating a new round of gorgeousness for next springtime. Our payment for enduring our dismal winters, is what we are witnessing right now. Winter nights, I look at your videos for ideas and inspiration for the coming springtime. "Oh wind, if winter comes, can spring be far behind?" 34:32 Alberine, I LOVE seeing old, ancient buildings buried under Albertine, nothing else like it, the wickedest thorns in rosedom. Mine is languishing the past 2 years. 38:56 My entire 50 years of gardening, I gather long thin dead saplings for my pole green and scarlet runner bean vines to clamber up, tied together at the top teepee style,, this year I am doing something new, I am gathering much shorter, thinner one to make head high teepee frames to tie my delphiniums and "sky high" oriental lilies on, at the bases of these, I have Cardinal Creeper vines planted to clamber up them, they are not naughty like morning glories are, and the hummingbirds are mad about their tiny scarlet tube flowers. Tell Ava "hello" for us, little darling did not want to venture out into the wet? 🙂🙂 Alas, I have written another short story for a book!

A garden to lose yourself in! Gorgeousness!

Your garden is incredibly beautiful, congrats 🌹

Beautiful!

splendid!

I believe that plant you asked if it was a weed is called Horse Weed. I had one in my garden - I think my boots must have picked it up when I visited my horse at the stable 🤣🤠

I have Golden Celebration in my garden too and the same issue of floppiness. But I still love it, esp its amazing fragrance! Thank you for the tour of all your roses and telling us not to stress about our gardens, but to enjoy them!

😂 the ✈️ and your reaction. Classic Darren 😂.

Beautiful Garden and you should do mindfulness tour round ur garden.

Thank you for the lovely tour! You sound just like me walking through my garden…it’s a slice of heaven…❤️

Thank you. I garden in Connecticut. I kill roses. I study the how’s and why’s and mind them, however, they die. Best practices seem to elude me. Seeing your successes is satisfying.

Your gardens are absolutely gorgeous! I actually watched your video twice 😁. I laughed when you talked about your color schemes and how you mixed them however they wanted to grow- many of my gardens are the same, I just love mixing colors and contrasts. Thank you so much for the lovely relaxing garden tour- I look forward to more. Michele from Northern NY

I love the Olivia Rose! Of my fifty rose bushes, It is the best. Even though it is planted in the semi shade, It is the most floriferous and never has been sick. In three years it turned in a beautiful bush. I give it a ten! I highly recommended It.

So excited to get the tour of your beautiful rose garden! Will rewatch it definitely!! 🌹 the plant growing I think is Horseweed a species of fleabane , very tall and will have tiny daisy like flowers. I had left mine like you but finally pulled it out. Here in North Carolina. I let the wild carrot or Queen Anne’s lace grow in my garden for a time. Last year I sprinkled the Darius Carrotta Seed heads which I grew from seed, not wild and they are pink. I thoroughly enjoyed your advice, knowledge and the beauty of your garden ! Thank you 💗

Hello, I'am Steffi from Eisenach in Germany. I love Raindrops on the blossoms. It looks so verry nice. For the black tipps on the leaves I take water and milk 1:7 and spray it. Thank you for the video.

this bloody rain his year, did so much damage to my garden too, Black spots all over, and the buds were rotting without even blooming, I was almost crying. But the thing about roses is that even when they look terrible, they are so strong, they just rise up from their ashes. I love your garden Darren, and I love the mixed coloring, just like it is in nature too, Really nice.!

Today it was so soothing to my soul just escaping into your garden, hearing your birdlife, and seeing the new additions and garden ventures. I've been very sick, and this was lovely. NZ fan.

Kiek grožio jūsų sode...👍 Malonu buvo pasidairyti. Ačiū🤗🥀

Your garden is amazing. The colors flow through so naturally. And never mind the rain, it will make the roses bloom all the better. Thank you for sharing the beauty with us. All the best - Nina

Such a joy watching all the roses and your beautiful garden.

Thank you for the tour of your beautiful garden.The roses are gorgeous.You have a lovely calming voice.x Liz

Spectacular, thank you Darren and love to Ava

Love your garden! I have a few DA roses, it’s a bit of an obsession! I know some people put big umbrellas up to protect them

Die Garten Tour hat mir sehr gut 👍🏽 gefallen! Deinen Rosen Garten Darren, ist immer Traumhaft schön 😮Die viele schöne und wohlrichende Rosen sind in voller Blüten ,die Blumen und Bäumchen, eine wunderbare Pracht! Und diese schöne Farben ,,wunderschön! Die Himmel ist voller gottliche Duft ! Die Belohnung für deine harte Arbeit die du geleistet hast!!! Deine Liebe, Deine Leidenschaft für Rosen ist Grossartigig !!!! Ich habe diese Zauberhaft schöne Anblick sehr genossen!!! Nur der Duft nicht! Danke❤sehr, dass du deine Leidenschaft mit uns Teilst ! Küsschen für Ava ,die sie von der Regen ☔️ versteckt hat!!! Darren und deine Wilde vor Garten ist einfach wunderschön 😮

Many thanks,Darren! How nice of you to show us your beautiful garden! This year I've planted James G into a container after your last year video. Though there are still doubts if it will be able to grow there more than a couple of years...

Hello Darren, thank you for your comment about the size of the pots! I have several roses in very big pots and to be honest they are not doing the best, on another side I have planted two roses in much smaller pots and they are growing much much better. From now on I will just use smaller ones.

Thanks for the tour! Love how you've done the colours. Very inspiring. Love your garden!

really appreciate your comments/wisdom on blackspot. absolutely beautiful garden...and love your poetic narrative that goes along with it!!!!! 💛💛💛 ps. the munstead wood rose is incredible!!!

Everything looks gorgeous my friend!!!!

I am guessing that your neighbors enjoy the perfume radiating out of your garden? 3:20 Yoo Hoo! Ava, where are you!? 4:24 I think that roses look better with rain drops on them. 6:42 I hope that next spring that I can remember your comments about Jude the Obscure it's fragrance!💛💛 My Poet's Wife is fragrant like that, a handful of perfume! 7:55 I like to put my lax caned roses into enormous pots, then elevate them up to eye level, my Francois Rabbellait is that way, heavy polyantha trusses of blooms hanging. A charming effect so long as they don't lay on the ground. 9:23 I have no interest in roses that posess no fragrance, but a few non fragrant roses are so ravishingly beautiful, that i break my rule of banishing the scentless from my garden, Paschmina Veranda is one, so perfectly cabbage form, sush perfect Victorian romantic/Redoute cabbage form that I forgive it's lack of scent. I think that Francois Rabellait was simply over rated for fragrance, that is why I have it, but newly opened flowers have prefectly quartered form before they disorganize with age, AND I had no red roses at that time. 9:58 I know! We can blend essential oils with water into a spritz bottle and fix our scentless roses! 😄😄😄 10:41 To me it looks like what we call wormseed here in the USA, wormseed has a rather rankling odor to the leaves, but it is a feirst class vermifuge. I would keep it in your garden, but don't allow it to become naughty and invasive. 13:13 When I was quite young, 50 years ago, I would read i african violet booklets by and for housewives, that keeping the violets in small pots forces them to bloom better, many plants that does seem to be the case, but for roses, not according to my observation. As near as possible, I want for them to have the same root range as they would have when planted in the ground.13:49 Albertine has very nasty thorns, the worst that I have ever seen. And gate rattle, if you would naot hear it, Ava darling would! LOL! Oh! The foxgloves and tall lilies, perfect the scene. Lupines are a must have also, even though they do fall over in heavy rain. 16:38 Wonderful delphiniums, I bought my 3 delphinium varieties from a family in New Zealand who specializes in them and they were highly recommended for being reistant to mildew. They are beginning to bloom now, but still building up strength and stature. Well! I shall have to finishe watching this tomorrow night! I try to get to bed by midnight and usually fail! LOL! Sorry for the "short story" but the subject IS fascinating and your garden is quintessentially English cottage garden.

Like👍 for not spraying with chemicals!

Oh you have genie magnolia too! I have it too but I am still waiting for flowers

I’ve heard that if you drop some leaves from watercress it will naturally clean the duckweed without harming the tadpoles (I don’t have a pond, so this isn’t a tested method-just something I heard while watching Beechgrove Garden)

Shame about your Roald Dahl. Mine is blackspot free in 5b 🇨🇦, tripled in size in its 2nd year in ground. You have such a beautiful garden. Thank you for sharing! I want a Florentina now.

Absolutely stunning....Re colour palette...♥️ Bang On The Monet 🥰🌹🌹🥰

so beautiful! this is giving me such good vibes, just started my journey with english roses in italy, growing them in pots since i only have an attic terrace. I love english gardens! cheers from Rome

You’re so funny!😂 Everything is GORGEOUS!

I love ❤️ it ! Gorgeous

My garden has black spot too. It's been raining a lot here and doesn't feel like summer at all. Lovely video!

Beautiful garden! I love your comments 😆If you were to start from scratch, can you have a video titled like this? I have some roses that fell out and need to replace them with something that’s not a waste of time and money like Mr Lincoln, that was a waste of time and money

So beautiful 😍 Thanq ❤ Mind doing a vid on propagating rose from cuttings, please ? Noticed a lot of dieback on my rose bushes. I'm so worried as I'm left with one or two stems on some of my expensive rose plants :(

Watching from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺 ❤😍 What is the pink rose around the white lady statue at the end…is it “Mill on the floss”??

I grow chives with my roses, and dont have any greenfly,

My James Galway is glorious in its second year. I didn't expect scent, but this year it's a lovely medium old rose. Has yours developed more scent?

41:20 this is weed :) have a lot of them

This is in a pot? 4:49
