I love Iceberg and Old Port. Your roses are exquisite. Lark Ascending is a very pretty rose. Thank you for your video.

Hi from London! Like your channel! Have 78 bushes of roses, also a fan of roses, most of them in pots. Your garden is amazing! Will follow your channel and learn! Thanks 🌹👍🏻

Your garden is beautiful I love your roses

Every different color rose in your garden is so amazing !

STUNNING

Thank you for sharing your beautiful rose garden for now i am obsessed . The Lark Ascending is gorgeous love how it shines with the sunlight .

I love all the pots with roses along the driveway. That is such a nice idea to welcome oneself home like that, I love it. I think the term they call those ball roses you were mentioning as chalice form maybe. They remind be of peonies. A cool thing with peonies is before the buds open you can cut the stalks with buds on them and keep in the fridge for up to a month, and just pull them out and put them in a vase and they'll open up. It's a way to enjoy peony blooms for a month longer than their season normally lasts.

Thanks for sharing your videos. I look at these reviews for information about my next purchase and hearing an honest opinion helps me decide. 👍

This is what I like in your video Jay Jay, your telling us the truth about the roses and your honesty in your comparison or observations amongst different roses. I was surprised to see Leonardo da Vinci rose, one of my favourite. I got my eyes on Poet‘s wife, very much interested how strong the scent of citrus note on it.😍🌹

Love your roses garden.

Thanks for sharing your roses are lovely the parfumerie collection sounds interesting

What a wonderful rose garden !

Im jealous with your Roses. Beautiful!

So beautiful, those colors are so beautiful together.

Mesmerizing.

I absolutely love all l those beautiful fantastic Roses plants flowers

Not only do roses smell less or more fragrant at different times, a persons sense of smell changes from day to day. Mid morning is the best time to pick up the fragrance.

Stunning roses and companion plants in your garden. I always watch your videos in big screen and appreciate the beauty of flowers and their foliage. We feel connected with your lively commentary.

exellect sorting out , thank you

Beautiful Roses 🌹 Garden Like 102 My friend, have a good day

the lark ascending color is gorgeous...Thanks for sharing.

Hi!Jay, fruity parfuma is the garten prinzessin marie -josie in kordes catalog that i was talking about.In sunny weather most roses scent are stronger.As i noticed with most of the roses in my garden.

Leonardo da Vinci is beautifull, mine is blooming over three weeks now. Most blooms are going over now. I bought Coral Lions Rosé, Sunmaid, flaming star and pomponella from Kordes last autumn. The buds all took there time, buy the blooms last quite long. Am verry pleased with them so far. Will follow your parfuma collection this summer before I make my mind up for nu bare root order this fall! :)

Love your rose garden. Thank you for sharing info on all those roses. I just planted Gertrude Jekyll. As you know, it’s got a beautiful old rose fragrance. Excited to see it grow.

Amazing use of space! Everything is so young and full! Thank you for sharing such a delightful garden!

Your garden is looking beautiful! Roses at their best now ? Chandos flowering daily now JJ. Stunner!

Love all of them

BRAVO !!!

So lovely!! Da Vinci has a beautiful color. I love how wispy Lark Ascending is! 💖💖

The technical term for Fruity Parfuma's flowers is Cup shaped and the damage by the rain is called balling.

Just looked at BC mate. Looking amazing tonight and that scent!

These are gorgeous roses Im obesessed . I love how the plants compliments your pots. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video.

Awesome video mate :D

Hello Jay. I’ve been gardening all my life. Several matters concerning the scent of roses. The first, if the rose genuinely has a strong scent it will be noticeable even in “poor” weather conditions. Secondly, pick the rose and bring in doors, smell it an hour later whilst still in doors. The scent should be there. Thirdly, sadly, people are sold substitutions, no the true rose they think they are buying. A very fragrant rose will sell out fast, especially if it’s vivid red. No prize for guessing these are in exceptional demand. The rose vendor will have very limited stock of that rose. So will send a rose that looks like the one you want to buy but it won’t have anything like the scent. Finally, true highly scented roses are very, very rare. When a certain famous rose vendor says “this rose is scented” it won’t be. Don’t buy it. If they say “exceptional fragrance” then you’re in for a chance. Parfuma roses are the best for scent but are often substituted for non scented varieties but you won’t be told it’s a substitute

Everything is looking very lovely indeed, and I see your flowers are balling from the rain same as mine. Last June I had a better display, very slow this year so far...

Looks really good.I have recently started gathering Roses and mostly potted.

Super👍👍

I’m surprised you don’t have Glorious Parfuma (Mme Anisette). I think it’s a rose that will check all the boxes for you-exceptionally strong fragrance, interesting color, strong growing habit. A really, really good one.

Hey Jay Jay , so my Kordes roses have flowered and finally I got to experience the Kordes range in the growing season now. Unfortunately I am disappointed in Fruity Parfuma - there is a scent but its very faint and basic like any normal faint rose scent so for now its only appeal is the ball like flower shape, Fruity Parfuma however is completely disease resistant even in a heavy week of rain no sign of any rust / blackspot at all. I do notice Fruity parfuma has this growth habit of keeping its new growth stage for a long time the reddish young shoot remains on tender red color for a while before the leaves actually mature into darker green. I have another kordes called 'Adorable' which is pinkish mauve however has a much stronger and sweet candy like scent / more like sugar sweet perfume and that was alot more impressive over Fruity Parfuma. I agree with you on the Sweet Honey from Kordes it has Amazing health and growth but one thing I noticed that comes along with it is high thorn factor more than other roses. to the point of the underside of the leaf veins have excessive thorns. To date I still rate older style roses like Twilight Zone to have one of the strongest sweetly scent for a rose. I am waiting for Spicy Parfuma which I havent judged. But one thing I will praise for Kordes is how healthy the growth is and the resistance to blackspot so far none has any sign of black spot in some heavy weeks of rain that we've had. Other older roses perish with blackspot almost de-leafing entirely.

Beautiful ❤❤😊😊😊I want to cultivate rose my favorite red color, pink color, yellow color ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Hi Jay Jay, always great and candid reviews. I am in Sheffield and keenly follow your channel. A point of correction though, the "Leonardo Da Vinci Rose" has some fragrance 😄. It could be the time of the day or due to temperature like you say always. Great videos. would really love to show you my garden next year.

The Leonardo rose with the white outer kissing it petals is refered to as Silvery edging. I have 4 of the kordes Perfuma breeds on their way as bare roots. Im in sunny Brisbane Queensland Australia, il let you know how they blossom! 3, I have just planted of-Dark Desire or Gratin Diana or Royal perfume.

What do you feed your roses and how often? Are most of your roses more than 3 years old? I have Earth Angel and several David Austin’s here in Florida waiting for the massive blooms! I can’t wait😎❤️

Kordes writes, on their website, that a stronger fragrance usually comes with a shorter vaselife. Interesting, I wonder if there are any good exceptions..? I really like the Kordes roses, and they are usually very healthy. But the names are so "unromantic" compared to the Austin roses. I think Kordes has to work more with names that make me want to buy them... 🙂

Thanks for the update video. How is your climbing roses doing now are they in full Bloom now

Hi Jay Jay, I came here, like everyone else, to take a look at your rost collection, but I find myself equally interested in your companion plants! What, for example, is that sweet lavender colored flowering plant behind Pretty Parfuma? Is that a salvia? I would love to hear what your recommended companion plants are to fill in the gaps between or in front of your roses.

They're beautiful. I've made 2 videos but they won't upload. I've just tried again.

Lovely roses all round. Leo does look good shame no fragrance 🙃

They say that plants don’t produce fragrance when conditions are not optimal for their pollinators. By not producing fragrance when it is cool or overcast, the plants conserve energy that can be directed at creating new roots and leaves.

The Leonardo da Vinci’s leaves look great. Some roses just look awkward when not in bloom. I had heard that LDV comes into its own the third year after planting.

oh you also planted maple😊

Great video! I never knew a rose could last for weeks like your fruity parfumey lorded. What is the scent? Sounds great!

WIll be interested to see what your favorite yellow rose is. Julia Childs and The Poet's Wife both intrigue me.

The Poet's Wife is beginning her third year in my garden. She is perfectly quartered, cupped when newly open, then becomes more disorganized when maturing, the fragrance is very pleasant grapefruit overlaid with old rose, but the grapefruit is the dominant scent element. A very special rose. I adore quartered rose blooms. Hald of my roses are in the ground, half are in massive pots. The roses that are irreplaceable, extremely slow to develop, or their survival is doubtful in our Ohio winters are in pots and they go into the 45 degree fahrenheit room for winter, this gives me rose blossoms a full 6 weeks earlier than my roses in the ground. 4:22 Yes, I have noted that cold weather will not volatize the fragrance, average weather the fragrance is large if the variety has fragrance, some more, some less, then hot weather evaporates all of the frgrance out. 6:10 Yes, there MUST be fragrance for me, I will not plant non fragrant plants of any kind unless there is something really above and beyond going on visually, caladium leaves for example, caladiums are wonderfull planted at the base of the roses, they seem to better integrate the rose into it's environment, ESPECIALLY the once and done roses. My small cottage garden is a fragrance garden. Towering oriental lilies putting out clouds of fragrance during sultry summer nights. Hyacinths, daffodils, all must be fragrant. 7:29 I absolutely love the Kordes emphasis on globular, "fairy tale" form roses. This form can be troublesome in wet weather, they can ball, mummify and not open. It seems as though the opening is dependent upon the outside surface of the petals drying, therefore contracting, in order to open. I absolutley love the old Redoute, cabbage roses. And so do the folks at Kordes. A connousieur form of rose really. A connouiseur is that gardener willing to endure whatever troubles an exceptional plant may have, unlike the average buyer who wants reliablity and ease of culture. 10:06 Nicely quartered also. So far i have no white roses. To me, white is a non color, a blank page with nothing on it, HOWEVER, I have been looking a long time for a strongly quartered rose in white, because the light color will show the quartering much better than a darker color. 10:36 Yes, my Rarth Angel aka Herzegovina Christiana is beginning it's third year. In my opinion it is a MUST HAVE rose. Absolutely perfectly quartered blooms, perfect Redoute cabbage globular form. Absolutely a joy in my garden. Moderately susceptible to balling in wet weather, but not bad. There must be many days of wet weather to cause it to ball, and hard , pounding rain bruises the flowers causing tan, dried out spots, but it does better than other globular roses, I suppose that petal thickness is a factor in that. Some roses have thin petals, others, mainly hybrid teas have thick, leathery petals. I love the Earth Angel so much that I must force myself to shut up now and listen more. 11:00 yes, for me, hard, hammering rain is much more likely to damage Earth Angel than ordinary rain. T quantify, I would say that for me, here in Ohio, Earth Angel is perfect 80 percent of the time. 11:39 Those of us who are experienced rose growers know that some roses bloom only on the previous years growth, so there will be no booms the first year, other roses bloom on the current season's growth, so they will have blooms the first year, I think of those as "instant gratification" roses. I write this mainly for readers who may be put out by the fact that their new rose is not blooming, Jay Jay knows this, but the readers may not. And some of the most "soul meltingly" beautiful old roses are those that bloom on old wood, not new wood, the Moss Roses are of that type, centifolias. 11:49, beautiful, soft, ethereal pink, easy to look at, strong pinks to me have the same effect as traffic lights, annoying to look at for very long. This has a soft, luminous, ethereal pink, VERY nice. Thank you for sharing! It has been said that England is a nation of gardeners, I suppose that describes the old school, quintessential Englishman, the modern, younger citizens, maybe not so much.

Thank you for your detail information about fragrant rose. I have bad allergy in June so I can only imagine how they would be 😂 and so I myself don’t grow rose for parfuma. But, but, speaking of parfuma, have you been with blue girl before? The blue girl 2008 from NRIP international, not the old one from Kordes. When she flowers, no one can miss her even only walking by, very strong sweet fragrance that even reach my blocked nose ❤️🌹

Idk if I did right or not, but I have Earth Angel (and an old Tea rose, which are also notoriously prone to rain damage) planted under the canopy of a tree, where it does get 6+ hours of direct sunlight, but I’m hoping the canopy of leaves will protect them a bit & (hopefully) minimize rain damage. They’re still quite young, Earth Angel’s blooms still aren’t “peony-shaped” yet even, so I’m not really sure if this attempted defense will work out or not in the long run.

Wow...I am really impressed with ur perfuma collection. I have a non DA perfuma dark red sweetly scented rose. Also today I bought another red rose called rosa oklahoma which is very highly scented of old rose fragnance. I would love some advice on pots. Do u have any lighter pots in ur collection please as I find heavier pots difficult to manage due to medical condition. Many thanks indeed.

Ros fragrances : # Myrrh- spice undertone # Citrus - 🍋 lemony # Old Rosé - sweet # Tea rose - tea smelling # Musk - try smelling Lancome's Tresor perfume ya :) # ..... -

Thank you so much for the tour. It’s absolutely beautiful… I’m looking for a small, healthy, blooming Machine for a pot at the front of my home. Your leonardo da vinci rose in the pot is perfect but I thought the rose had long octopus canes. How do you keep it short and full? Thanks any other recommendations? I ordered bliss perfuma

Do you do anything special to protect the pots during winter? I live in New England so obviously have harsher winters.

😊😊😊

May I ask where did you buy your rose plants? You have a beautiful garden

Interesting video from Ben on dead heading JJ

How do you deal with aphids and black spot etc? The all looks amazing. I’ve started off with an small corner in my front garden. I’m inspired to expand now. Also do you propagate?

Jay what do you call the first orange rose. Its georgous. I've one like it. God bless lucinda

In my humble opinion, nothing beats the fragrance of Souvenir du docteur Jamain. BTW, many roses which have been awarded the German ADR certificate which confirms their overall health and disease resistance, have lost the fragrance during the selective breeding process.

spicy perfuma is beautiful

Kordes disease resistance seems to be better than most.

Hey Jay , Have you noticed and change in your new rose Laguna? Last I heard, you said it had no fragrance... I did notice online that they say it has a strong fragrance.

Hello, I just ordered a David Austin rose. It’s a smaller one growing to 4x4 ft. I’m thinking of making a raised bed 12 inches tall above native soil, (3ft x3ft square). do you think a rose could grow in these conditions? I suppose a raised bed is a little bit like a pot but larger and connected to the soil underneath. Sorry for the long comment by the way

what size of pot are your roses in? Do you start them off in this size when you plant a bare rooted rose or start them in a smaller pot?

i bought leonardo da vinci but it is only budding...i didnt even know it has no scent.😔anyway it looks pretty.

Will you just keep repotting them or will they go in the garden. They definitely grow quicker in containers than in the ground.

So a question came up in a Facebook group about growing ramblers up a tree. No one knows the answers can you help? Does the tree die? Also told them you were doing that. Not sure yours is a rambler . Our question is can we grow a rambler up a tree without harming either rose or the tree?

It would be nice to know what zone you live in. Maybe you've told us elsewhere.

You want to smell rose “ jaques cartier “.. you’ll do anything to buy it before the day’s over

What are your strongest scented roses. Ones you can smell from a distance?

Hello Jay Jay. New Subscriber here. Have you come across Young Lycedas? If so, what are your thoughts. Thanks

Which has stronger perfume David Austin or Kordes parfuma?

Jay can you see the Live video I did?
