When a rose drops "out of the trade" there's a risk that it also falls out of the hobby. Demographic changes have taken their toll on rose suppliers, concentrating some large portion of sales into "landscape style" roses. Meanwhile, old garden roses and other garden-worthy modern roses are left to individual gardens and hobbyists to preserve.
Here's the link to the Bill DeVor presentation I mentioned: • ARS Convention 2012 Fa...
I didn't discuss it much in the video (I was already going long) but I think Facebook special-interest groups are a promising alternative to in-person garden clubs to connect gardeners who share your goals. In Canada (only), we're working together to preserve garden-worthy roses in this group: / canadaroseexchange

Imagine a place where we have no suppliers of historic roses, no roses are sold by name... All ancient roses are collected in suburban gardens and require precise identification. I understand what it's like to see our floral heritage disappearing day by day...Jason, you're a good guy!

I think word of mouth may help you. I'm not an expert but I've seen roses growing around homes in the older part of town where I live, many of them possibly mid-20th century. I think if you put the word out when you're ready over social media, you may find a number of people willing to let you get starts off existing bushes that have been around for decades.

My husband is a plumber and has had to dig up a number of rose bushes for plumbing and septic repairs. He brings them home for me and it has been an incredible joy to watch them thrive!! They are so happy anywhere I put them, as long as they get some regular deep watering. Happy among the periwinkle, the pasture, the vegetables... only struggle has been if I don't plant them in a way that the water can soak in well (mounds and hillsides without wells). This channel has been an amazing discovery. Thank you!

The first roses I ever got were knockout roses, just because my local box store was having a special and they looked beautiful to a newbie. I see knockout roses now as a gateway rose. Once you start with roses it becomes an addiction and you will never settle for just another rose anymore. Two roses that I just ordered are Kordes roses, Florentina arborose, and Rosarium Uetersen and of course a bunch of David Austin's. The main reason why people won't order a specific rose is black spot. Not too many people want that when they can choose something without disease. How I discovered the roses that I have now, are just by watching rose garden tours on youtube. Filming and showing the names of the different roses in bloom of your own garden, is the best way to promote a rose in my opinion.

There is a new peach one that balls. I never buy roses in garden centers because you end up with mediocre stuff everyone has. And heavily promoting David Austin roses. Only a small handful of them last more than a year in the Midwest Also, David Austin was grafting onto Dr. Huey, and the graft union died. He finally did a series of own root roses, but wow were they overpriced. I keep moving my clients to beautiful, healthy heirloom roses. With my guidance, there is no need to buy crap.

I was born in the early 60’s and disliked roses as a child - a neighbour had lollipop ‘standard’ roses and Pom-Pom-clipped poodles behind a white ‘ranch style’ fence and it put me off. I loved the wild roses of UK but the first cultivated ones I warmed to were the old ones and the old-style ones. Now I’m a devoted fan. The internet allows rose lovers to communicate and your channel Jason is a delight as well as a mine of excellent information, huge thanks! I recently visited my aunt in Denmark and we pruned her roses - she cannot buy from UK at present and I can only whimper in frustration when I view the online catalogues of mainland European nurseries. Let us hope that the rose, a much-travelled plant, will be able to safely move about the world again before too long. The history of roses is fascinating, bound closely with us humans, I’m sure we’ll find a way to keep many of the old ones going strong, now that more of us are aware. 🥀

The cultural thing you talked about reminds me so much of what my mother and grandmather said when I was younger! They never grew roses, and I when asked why, they told me that roses are "hard to grow" and need a lot of care. But when I got my first rose, I found that hardly true at all! Now my mother and I have many roses growing throughout our gardens!

When I finally bought my first house at the age of 40, I told my mother I wanted to fill the yard with roses. She warned me: "Roses are very finicky and lots of work." I ignored her, and now have 40 roses planted in my garden, with room for 100 more. They are no more hard work nor more finicky than any other plant. Nobody thinks it's weird to feed your vegetable garden, or to have to treat your tomatoes for pests, but as soon as you have to do it to a rose bush, apparently roses are 'fussy'.

1. old roses need less care and chemistry on average than modern ones! 2. just don´t plant roses that are not robust to diseases, there are lots of alternatives. 3. average maintenance time per year and rose bush (I prefer ramblers) is about 10mins (just for cutting them, no fertilizer, no chemistry no nothing) 4. propagation: my average success rate went up from about 1 out of 15 to about 1 out of 2-3 since I have started following Jasons instructions (*thanks!!!*), which is by far good enough for me 5. I feel like old roses tend to be easier to propagate for the average rose lover like me than some high maintenance modern breeds. 6. my big problems with the roses I have are names (if you nick a twig from a rose you like you cannot ask the owner ;) , and if you ask the owner for a twig of an old rosebush, they usually don´t know the name, anyway)

You are so right about the cultural shift away from roses; leaving only the story that roses are hard to grow. My mother, now in her 90's, remembers a big yellow rose bush thriving in her mother's garden that had tall arching canes that made a living hideout for them as when they were kids. Roses were common in gardens back in the '30's & '40's. And my mother had fragrant roses in her gardens in the 50's, 60's & 70's.

What you say it partly true in Europe as well. We live in Spain and last year I ordered quite a few rather rare Damask roses from a speciality grower in the UK. I had ordered the bare root roses in May, they were delivered in October last year and now they are starting to bud already. All roses are fine. BUT, when I went back to the growers website I noticed that there were many roses out of stock and a notice that due to Brexit they cannot ship to EU countries for the moment. The paperwork etc. is outrageous! As you can imagine I'm glad I ordered last year and feel sorry for growers and rose lovers who have to suffer due to Brexit and the political issues of Covid.

I've grown mainly old roses for decades in my southern California garden without chemicals of any kind. I've grown tea roses, Chinas, polyanthas, Bourbons and others, and at least in my climate they're so easy to care for. I love the variety of blooms, leaf forms, growth habits and fragrance of the old roses, which have so much more character than moderns roses. I think there will always be at least a few of us who prefer old roses, and there are still several nurseries that list quite a few varieties in the US, so all is not lost.

I have 3 different roses that are very old. I know next to nothing about them except the exact physical location they came from. One is a white shrub type that was growing on the farm my grandparents bought in 1930. It still grows like crazy. It did well in the clay soil we have here and my mom took it with her when they retired and it did extremely well in the sandy soil where they lived for 20+ years. The next rose is a dark pink shrub that came from a house my aunt lived at in the 1960’s, and that house was probably originally a barn that had been there for many years, not far from where my grandparents farmed, less than a mile away. The last rose I have is a pale pink shrub and it has the best scent of all three. We discovered it growing in a field where my dads family farmhouse used to stand. The house was burnt down in 1975, and it wasn’t until 2000 when the land was being developed that I realized that those roses were growing out there and could’ve been planted by my great great grandmother, as they bought that farm in 1903. These roses only bloom once each year. I don’t know how to begin determining what kind/type they are, I just know they are old varieties. Any advice would be appreciated!

You are so right. When l worked full-time my roses got a bit of attention throughout the year but not much and we had flowers during a U.K. summer. Last year at the start of lockdown l was ill and had a lot of time. To attend to the roses and this year they are magnificent and covered in bud. We even moved a beautiful 30 year old plus rose that was here when we moved in all those years ago as it was in deep shade and not happy. It had roots that were about an inch and a half wide. It looks ok and even has two flower buds.🤗 Looks like it has survived the shock and a wet, cold and grey U.K winter.

I recently rescued 4 Perle D'Or from my local hardware store. They were reduced to $5 each because they looked awful and hadn't been looked after properly. After I rescued them, I did some research and apparently they are from the late 1800s, so I'm happy that they are in my garden. They've only been in ground for one week, but the improvement is dramatic. Can't wait until they flower next year 🥰🥰🥰

Pat yourself on the back for having a great eye. They are actually available at Rose's Unlimited in South Carolina. Pat Henry is wondering. I am also lucky in that I ordered a lot of roses from Pickering. One of the roses that thrill me the most is Stanwell Perpetual, the only reblooming rose of its kind. I am also rocking out on "Little White Pet" I love the smaller roses that I can have in multiples.

Hi from Australia ! Thank you for a great video and explained the problem succinctly. Here in Oz we have our Heritage Rose Society groups and it is becoming more difficult each year to purchase old roses as many of the specialist nurseries have closed as owners have retired or passed away. Younger generation are not interested in gardening generally for the many reasons you have highlighted. We furiously propagate every year and distribute among members and also to victims of the terrible bush fires of recent years also drought victims. I do despair despite our valiant efforts our wonderful teas, chinas, hybrid perpetuals, ramblers etc will disappear in near future years

We’ve always been enamored with roses. There are so many varieties to choose from and they add so much to the garden. We probably have about 20 rose shrubs in our (rather new) garden and would add more if we had the space. We try to promote them by highlighting some of them in our videos. We do love the old garden roses like Yolande d’Aragon and Louis Odier as much as the newer David Austin roses. Wish more people who plant roses.

Hi, Jason, very insightful as always ! I started to grow two roses together with perennials/annuals in my balcony. It is amazing to see how they grow from my window. I got Kordes rose and I think it was a good choice for beginners. When I was in Tokyo, roses were hobbies for housewives who can stay home, constantly take care, and pesticide them. People have to accept this condition, because it is roses. Otherwise, they are killed by Japanese Beetles or longicorn beetles. When I came to Oregon, I was surprised many people are growing roses casually. Good old videos from Paul Zimmerman were really inspiring for me. He simplified terms and explained garden roses are different from exhibition Hybrid Teas. Paul said "Growing roses are absolutely patience." that is absolutely true. In order to preserve old roses, I think we need to boost rose grower population in general. Staring from old roses is fussier. However, having Knockout roses or Kordes as their 1st roses is good start.

At least with the roses I have, I'm impressed with how they thrive with even a little care - and can still survive with no care or downright tough conditions. As for growing practical plants, I enjoy eating rose petals and rose hips from some varieties (White Dawn and Blue Girl are wonderful for edible rose petals.) I've noticed plant catalogs have many fewer varieties of roses than they used to (and other plants, too), and I wondered why. So thanks for explaining what's happened. It's too bad.

When I moved to Central Texas from the Gulf Coast, I decided to try my hand at roses as I'd never succeeded in the Houston soil. I'm not a huge fan of azaleas, so roses were my go to. My grandmother loved them. I've done remarkably well. I have one rose tree, a Jacob' Ladder that is nearly 20 years old and blooms wonderfully, even after going to two years of a hard freeze I worked hard to keep from my roses. I have a hard time finding some roses and one, my actual favorite, the name has become lost to me and I simply cannot find it anywhere, and I've looked through too many catalogs and web pages looking for it. I would love to find a plant and propagate in any manner I could. Roses are not picky. I ignore mine almost to the point of negligence, the same as I do my orchids, which, thrive on my inattentiveness. I make sure they are watered, dead headed, and fed nice fertilizer with their beds being mulched once a year. I get beautiful flowers I leave up for everyone to admire, and I get quite a few people walking into my front yard to take pictures. I would love to help with heirlooms.

After flowering i cut the long branches and cut them again in to 3~4 inches long then stick them in the old soil ( compact soil and not much nutrients left), leave them under other tree and water everyday, success rate was 60~70% without rooting hormones. I have rooting hormone but I was too lazy to use them😄(my first intention just try to trim old flowers off then I change my mind when I saw shooting branches😂) I like your videos, very informative and I learned a lot from you, thank you.

Then my brother brought me a rooted cutting from my great-grandmother’s rose bush that has gone wild on the old farmstead. She planted it in the late 1800’s. I have no idea what kind it is, but it propagates itself by sending out shoots from its spreading roots, just like raspberries do. The flowers are white/blush pink and smell wonderful. Any ideas as to what kind of rose I would look for to find out what variety it is?

I live in Reunion Island and Bourbon roses (old roses) are original from there. Bourbon is the former name of the Island. You won't believe me if I told you that here there's no old roses available on the market, except for one nursery only who made a promotion campaign a few years ago with imported roses. By the way, any average gardener can't import plants by mail because it's forbidden . The reason is that this would protect endemic plants in our island by limiting pests and diseases from imported plants. Yet, nurseries import plants but they're put in quarantine once arrived. In short, I really want to buy a lot of old roses but I can't;

I agree with you on the rarity of OGR and special roses that are no longer available. I have the not so formal rose garden and attempt to grow companion plants for roses which have had some success but still working on it each year. I don't normally propagate roses but have had success with layering the big long canes and then plant them elsewhere when properly grown. Gertrude Jekyll is a good one to layer. I have strong plants from the layering propagation. Just sharing my propagation work on some of my more important roses.

Nice insight Jason, it's deinately a world wide issue .. there are many great rose growers retiring such as Colin Dickson from Ireland due to all the reasons you've mentioned. In addition to the urban shift and people generally having smaller gardens ... the rate at which propagation of new flower/tree species are being developed is truely mind boggling... we live in a world of commerce so there's always somebody bringing new varieties which sell in droves once they get mentioned in the garden programmes/shows. I have childhood memeories (in turn 50 in a few days!) of parks with unbelievable rose beds .... all that has dwindled away in these days of austerity .... very few public spaces have great rose displays. I personally have not taken the plunge into old roses but will buy bareroots to plant in late fall this year. But i would applaud you and others to champion getting roses new or old into public spaces and not just in people's personal gardens... that almost always involves lobbying and maintaining with a gardening group rather than asking the local authority to carry the burden. Again it would be great if there were some PR for such campaigns that can be linked in across the globe.

Thanks for your perspective Harvinder. I have the utmost respect for those who volunteer their time and energy to public gardens, but I'm just not wired that way. I lean towards private efforts because to me they seem the most rewarding and sustainable. No lobbying or organizing - just direct action that benefits me, the other gardener, and gets the rose into as many gardens as will have it. Centralized efforts require fundraising and group decision-making and other things that I have no taste for - and they're vulnerable to shifts in policy and politics that can leave the project in a constant state of risk.

I found Corn Hill Nursery in Canada, and contacted them. They had a large selection of antique bare root roses. I ordered 2 Queen of Denmark and a Madame Hardy. I had to pay a $20 fee for a certificate but wow! You should see them! I also order from Roses Unlimited and from Peter Schneider in Ohio. Unlike certain companies that charge ridiculous prices (I won't mention by name a popular and extremely overpriced Nursery I see everywhere, especiallyon KZfaq) these two sell roses for about $25. Besides those roses I got r roses by Lens and Kordes. I got Lady in Red by Bedard. I got Kiss Me Kate, Earth Angel, and Felicite Parmentier and Desiree Parmentier. All for about $25 each.

What happened to me here in the GTA was the arrival of the Japanese Beetle, about 12-15 years ago. I had about 15-20 beautiful rose bushes in my garden, some being quite rare. One by one, I simply had to get rid of them - there was no point having roses when one could never enjoy the blooms, as eventually thousands of beetles would show up in the garden just as the roses were coming into bloom. I have a small handful left, and I can just barely manage to pluck the beetles off those and enjoy a few blooms. Interestingly, the one rose that is almost never attacked is my Rosa Mundi, which also grows in part shade and the Japanese Beetle definitely prefers being in sun.

So discouraging. The CFIA locked down a portion of downtown Vancouver (no plants or soil to travel out of the area) when the first sightings were recorded. Fingers crosses they'll be able to keep it under control because I hear from everywhere how devastating they are - especially in the rose hobby. Interesting to hear they've given a break to Rosa Mundi in the shade. There are loads of somewhat shade tolerant roses, but a bit limiting if that's all you can grow.

One thing that's under-rated here is RRV. I had a garden full of heirloom and English roses and climbers for years that was decimated in one year simply out of nowhere by rose rosette virus. I lost huge old Cecille Brunner and Zepherine Druhin climbers, all but one of my Reine des Violettes along with other old varieties that are increasingly difficult to replace now. It was heart breaking and discouraging, and the sheer cost of replacing those plants with the ever-growing cost of roses here in Maryland was prohibitive. I'm blessed to be able to order one or two a year from Heirloom, but it feels like an act of faith now because that's a lot to spend on something that can be so easily killed by a virus beyond my control. I'm totally with you on propagating any older, less "fashionable" varieties I can get my hands on to keep them alive for generations to come and will encourage anyone who shows an interest in mine to grow them, but that hovering knowledge that they can be wiped out like that is hard to bear. So glad to hear someone tackle the issue, though, and to know you're keeping heirloom varieties alive. Thanks for a great video as well.

Do you have a playlist focusing on some of the varieties that are in danger and which zones they're best in? If not, then it might make for a good weekly video having pictures (or footage in the case of the ones that you already have) of 3 or so varieties on screen while you sit on a porch describing them. It would get the word out on the positive aspects of each variety and get some views. Maybe having some cottagecore themes to your thumbnails might get some tiktokers and their families interested in preservation too.

Nearly 20 years ago I crossed Gertrude Jekyll and the common Oregon eight pedal rose and I have the coolest rose that I call Elliot. It never gets more than 3 ft tall has incredibly fragrant eight pedals roses that bloom singly. But all that you'd expect but what's interesting about this rose is that root suckers and that's how it spreads rather than by seed. I've never been able to get the seeds to sprout from the hybrid

I grow old roses without them we can't get modern or create new varieties . I agree and I wish we have more roses gardens with old varieties like in CA, NY, Portland and a few other States. I also noticed even graveyards are just neglected tombstones or so lonely in most places and wish many follows examples of Sacramento Cemetery which is extremely beautiful with old , old roses in CA. You are so right about everything. It is very sad but so true. I just hope that next generations can see the beauty of this roses and enjoy them as how our forefathers did. I bring cut roses to work. No one has ever seen such beauties. They always beg for more and most people believe they can't grow roses . I am the only one grows Rose de Rescht here in FL. Yes, it gets BS but it grows beautiful and blooms. I learned to strip leaves naked a few times a year. Maggie grows beautiful and overtime the BS seems very minimum Bec it is so huge You won't know until you look very closely . I grew Le Vesuve rose and now I have 2. I gave a few cuttings to my rose society Bec I am the only one who is willing to grow roses out of our comfort zones or recommended. It is huge and the beauty is definitely a mouth dropping jaw .

@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Thank you ! I tried but I also had a biggest failure for HS as we wanted to have a small rose garden and believe me the Orange County Public School (4 yrs ago) approved it at first than they said no thorns after that it was a straight No cause a student will get hurt. We were providing all the roses with plaques of history written. And all maintenance done by us . Jason last 5 yrs I learned a lot from you. Now, I am a member of ARS and I am in a process of getting my application done by getting signatures to be a Rose Consultant and in 10 yrs time a master Rosarian. There is a college here, Florida Southern College in Lakeland ran by Dr. Malcolm Manners. He has old roses all over the college. It's beautiful .

Hi Jason yes the trade has a lot to answer for, the drive to produce less thorny, disease resistant, longer flowering varieties that go anywhere has come at the cost of the heritage types and in most cases scent. So here in the UK there is a system in place of “national collections” where a anorak collects a specie together to preserve three plants of each and with split locations so in the event of a disaster there is always back up. Typically the Royal Rose Society collapsed a couple of years ago but it has been reborn I think from what I understand it was the usual problems of the old guard getting stuck in the old ways and not being able to adapt to the modern climate. However it just takes someone to pull together the rose society’s and a general awareness of the old varieties to get them cataloged and located so they can be propagated and preserved. So if you’ve got anyone who has a few acres to spare with the drive and passion to piece together the information you’ll have found your man to pull together a national collection of Canada. Good luck all the best

Thanks Harvey. Good to know how other hobbyists are tackling the problem. There are a few notable public gardens doing this kind of work in Canada, but nothing approaching a "national collection" that I know of.

Great info and insight into a problem that is not just in the rose industry! I have just purchased two white roses for my moon garden but I'm looking into the best roses for my food forest. Roses are great in a food garden because they have great potential for attracting pollinators but rose hips are a great food source. In all modern industries they have gone towards ease of production for sales instead of what is best practice. The reduction in availability of heirloom vegetables is not just sad but in fact dangerous for long term food security. Rose hips are a valuable source of A, B, C, & E and the hips stay on the plant and are available over winter when food from your garden is often low. I would think that modern roses are not produced for their large hip capabilities so anyone that has a suggestion for a rose that has good seed pods for food I would live some tips.

Hi Cathy. Scabrosa and Frau Dagmar Hastrup have particularly nice hips in my garden, but all the rugosas are pretty good. Good point on the use of roses for wildlife - I find my untamed roses in winter to be a frequent hang-out of small birds.
