My benjuman brittan in Britain is totally blackspot free with Westland’s feed of pellets with horse manure..a youtuber in other part of Britain is not happy at all with hers.. (BB ) but she doesn’t bother to try this feed.. my roses are the healthiest ever with this particular feed i must say..
Hello, I am from Pakistan and love watching your videos I learn alot from them. ❤. I am in zone 9b do you have any suggestions for me for which DA roses should I grow. Thanks
I’m in south jersey a block away from the water, zone 7a-b depending on the map, I have quite a bit of hybrid Teas , grandiflora and shrub roses like scentuous, had a little bit of black spot earlier in the season and planted a few this season from local nursery with a ton on them which I defoliated and they came back clean, again I don’t have 600 roses I have about 2 dozen will this become a bigger issue as the weather stays humid? Thanks! Btw love your content
I give my roses Westland’s horse manure fertiliser & by top rose .. toprose rose & shrub feed & i don’t get black spots at all here in England ( 150 roses)
@@TheRoseGeek I just ordered Raymond blanc,sandringham, mum in a million,queen of Denmark ( the old rose..not DA rose) reine de violettes ..i was so excited.. i had to come & share the good news with you.. i hope you’re ok.. chin up ..i’m with you.. let’s both just rose away & get lost in our rosy world.. lots of love coming your way from here in Luton.. please take care of yourself & our furry friends..i have a cat 10 yrs. old called Tim.. & he insists on salmon flavoured treats every day.. i’ve had him since 11 july 2014,9 wks old..love of my life.. i love him more then my 2 sons
Hi!!! 😊 Thank you for showing us this! So important, I think. More often than not we see 'The Best' from alot of other channels and from growers and gardeners that live in Europe or out West that don't deal with humidity and any Black spot! I'm in zone 8a..NC. Very hot and humid like you! Are your roses planted a little close together tho? Doesn't that contribute to more black spot and certainly powdery mildew? Thank you for a great video!
I really don't have a problem with Powdery Mildew but BS is a real problem for some of our roses. I plant 28-36" apart and this doesn't seem to cause any issues. I look for healthy varieties like Kordes and Meilland to ensure that they can stand up to our environment. Thank you for watching!
Kordes roses perform the best for us in my humid environment. They are really resistant to black spot and stand up to the heat. I will be doing a garden tour through RU-vid in about 6 weeks and will share my favs!
You HAVE to try sprinkling corn meal under your roses. I did that under my "Belinda's Dream" at the beginning of the season (I'd already had some black spot, I defoliated the effected leaves). But I sprinkled about 1tbsp of cornmeal under each bush, and lightly scratched soil over it, and I didn't have black spot for the entire spring and summer. (I had a tiny bit at the beginning/mid fall. It was amazing.
I pull off all of the buds and blooms when they arrive and focus on new projects. I then hand pick any that find a way into the garden, but they are reduced drastically by taking the buds and blooms off. This video may be helpful if you have time to watch ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yEDABYGmS7Q.html
I am i. Western North Carolina and my Princess Anne, Boscobel, Lady of Shallot, Abraham Darby, Wollerton old Hall, Hot Cocoa, Sweet Mademoiselle, State of Grace, Twilight Princess, and Sexy Rexy are blackspot magnets..
Really enjoy your channel for well researched information, and I especially follow your unboxings and vendor rankings. In watching this video (Which of 600 roses get black spot in your garden), It seems to me that a very high percentage of your roses are affected by black spot. I grow in Zone 5b, always choose varieties that are blackspot resistant, and have had very good luck with my 25 roses, as long as I aggressively and consistently treat black spot. This year I started planting hybrid teas for the first time, and for next year plan to order another dozen or so bare root roses, and many will be hybrid teas, so I am trying to find varieties that are the least prone to black spot. I freak out at the first sign of black spot, but you seem to be more tolerant of it. I suppose living in such a humid environment, you have to be willing to live with it! LOL. I would love to see you create a database of roses that could be selected first by zone, then for various rose attributes. It would be an epic undertaking, but it would be a great service to your fans and fellow rosarians everywhere. Help Me Find has a ton of information, but it is not presented in a very user-friendly format. You already have the knowledge, the industry credibility, and organizing talent to create and publish a comprehensive data channel for rosarians that could potentially make Help Me Find obsolete. Maybe they would even partner with you to do it. Before I retired, I was considered something of a Marketing Guru (Nestle, Borden, Kraft, etc.), in part because I was highly skilled in organizing and presenting large amounts of data in very clear and understandable charts and graphs. At 75, my failing eyesight, hand tremors, and other issues with aging would prevent me from trying to pursue or even contribute to such an intensively data entry/computer-based project, but IF this concept appeals to you, I would be happy to offer some ideas and suggestions on how to approach it from a design and marketing perspective. Best of luck with that black spot!!!
Some of the rose sellers have this information, where you can shop by attribute. For example Antique Rose Emporium and Heirloom Roses. If you're looking for particularly heathy roses, a good place to start are roses that have received the ADR award. I believe Edmunds actually puts this into their catalog.
I just pulled out two roses that had black spot and one that had powdery mildew since I planted them. Their flowers were beautiful but not to die for, so I just don't have the patience for it. Wollerton Old Hall has black spot for the first time in three years. I defoliated it and am hoping it'll recover since that is a favorite of mine. I'm in NJ, zone 7A. We have hot humid summers generally but that hasn't really happened yet so I'm not sure what's going on. By the way, I stopped a powdery mildew thing that was going on, just by applying baking soda.
0:18 I appreciate how you call us Rosarians! It’s like a badge of honor. I learn so much from you: your honesty about what failed, your joy with their successes and your lists! I am glad to have joined the Rose Geeks.
I didn’t get William Morris or Abraham Darby because of other people experiences, too many to ignore. I have been following your advice about defoliation, it takes time but is worth it 👍 I would like to try Sweet Juliet and hope she likes my weather. Love Benjamin Britten. How long it takes you to defoliate all the roses with black spot in your garden?
Thank you for sharing this. It's one thing to share all the beauty, but it really helps people see the other end of the spectrum. I'm fascinated that you don't usually experience much powdery mildew. I'm in 8b in Oregon (Willamette Valley) and I'm inundated with powdery mildew this year. We've had a record-wet spring. It's super frustrating.
Jason from frazer valley rose told me tomato feed for roses is “ you bet ya “ when i asked him if it’s ok to feed them with it.. this yr. it’s proved that it is the best feed ever & i’ve had some beautiful blooms & most healthy roses ever.. i must say .. thank you Jason
@@TheRoseGeek Now am i your best friend too from England.. ?…i have good affective & “ healthy roses “ info for you.. because sorry to say.. i was quite shocked to say the least to see roses that are begging for the right feed .. i was obliged to let you into my tomato feed secret .. as my childminder used to have most healthiest houseplants.. i asked.. she said she plants them in tomato compost we get here.. well .. i had to ask Jason if tomato compost was a winner.. what about tomato feed for roses…?..is it good enough too…“ you bet ya “.. ( i wondered what it meant ) & risked it .. well i’m hoping to see your roses as good as mine.. because i felt so sorry for them with blackspot as well…here’s to best roses in your garden 🍻
Interesting. My Dark Knight didn't have black spot last year, but this year, it does. Another rose, a climber called Handel has black spot and just isn't thriving. Zone 6a, southeast Michigan, in a suburb of Detroit. My Zeph has a tad of BS, but Crown Princess Margarete does not. Odd. My Sweet Mademoiselle is struggling a bit, just putting on growth. And, my Oh So Easy rose who was spectacular last year is really struggling. I think she got winter damage. I have a couple of roses that I transplanted last year in 90F heat that are doing great, but they are older and I don't know their names. We are supposed to get to 100F this week, but when it passes, all are getting extra TLC. And, I have to say, I have to get a Ringo, lol. I just love that rose. I've seen a couple shots you have taken of it in your garden and it just makes me smile. My best roses has been At Last and an unknown tall lanky thing that just keeps throwing out blooms, lol. The At Last, particularly one plant went nuts this year. I have a couple other At Last roses in a different location that are not doing as well as this one bush, but I know it's the soil conditions they are planted in, so I have to amend that. And, Mr. Lanky, my name for it, well... he's just a star.
@@TheRoseGeek If you look at my video tilted Early June 2022 - How's it growing? at the 10:26 mark, you will see my best At Last rose in all her glory. Her first flush was amazing.
Thank you, Kim, this is super helpful. My Princesse Charlene de Monaco and Soul Sister are the worst performers in my PWN 8b garden. Princesse is covered from head to toe powdery mildew and Soul sister is a total mess with blackspot. I am very baffled. Meanwhile my champions are Olivia Rose Austin and Pretty Lady Rose. Both are disease free and have put out bountiful flowers, particularly Pretty Lady Rose, 6" vibrant color and lasting, I am so in love :)
Great video! Thank you so much for sharing, took some notes and have a list going of which ones are less prone to bs. I’m down in Florida and we share a lot of the same roses with bs. They definitely don’t like the heat and humidity.
I'm not a Rosarian, but have been trying to rescue the roses planted years ago by someone unknown. No one has cared for them for years, so I took over. They have major black spot. I defoliated them. The result has been amazing. Now I do a daily check and when I see even a single bs I remove the leaves. You will be amazed. I'm in Chianti, Italy. Our summers are increasingly brutal. High heat and humidity. Tuscany has become practically tropical with climate change. I will not be planting anymore roses, sadly. They require too much water, which we have less of every year. This fall I will be planting. Italian wildflower seeds. Tough little things that flourish in spite of drought.
Hi, I live on the west coast. I currently have hybrid tea rose clouds of glory. No black spot. I have had hybrid tea roses Mr. Lincoln, Hybrid tea Honor, Hybrid tea rose Tropicana, hybrid tea rose Love none have had black spot. I have had several simplicity roses by J&P and no black spot on them either. I think that roses like my area. SoCal. Zone 10.
I was looking at Abraham Darby. I’ll have to reconsider since I am very humid here in Eastern N.C. I am glad you did this video. I’m leaning more at getting BS resistant roses.
@@veronicaalta9462 DA tranquility. I have Eden in its second year and no BS but it is slow to bloom. I almost forgot Penny lane…three years with me and zero black spot.
in Southern California, near by the beach, cloudy in the morning. Black spot is not a problem but Powderly mildew is. All DA and Japenese roses are prone to powdery mildew. I just use water with high pressure setting like flat to spray the leaves top and bottom, branches…. under hot sun. The problem is that when new leave appears again, so as mildew. Weekly battle.
My two Abraham Darbys ( one year old) only have minimal blackspot if any in my 7B , NC garden. They are in a partial shade but doesn’t flower profusely.
Hi Kim, Thank you so much for this video. This is so helpful. Edmunds Roses has sent me a wrong Rose in place of Top Cream as well. It has magenta color blooms.
Thank you! I am in Northern Virginia so your experiences are helpful. I may need to strike a few roses that were on my wish list. I just saw Benjamin Britten at a local nursery, I may need to find a spot for it after your review.
Really nice video，very helpful!Could you please say something detailed about goldflame?I am interested in goldflame,but hard to find any information.How about bloom frequency,disease resistance,rain tolerance,heat tolerance?Thank you so much!
Me whenever a favorite got a "clean" score: Yaaaaaaay! Me whenever a favorite got a "problem" score: Boooooo. (I also chuckled when you called Falstaff a hot mess, lol)
Thank you for sharing all the info. I have one rose Parade that it came wiht black spot and I contact the vender right away. They asked me to give it some time and after 6 months, the new grow still come in with black spot. So I contacted them and they are able to give me a replacment. May I ask where can i order an Pompom Veranda? I have been look everywhere but no luck to finding it. Thank You again
My Abraham Darby (9B fl) is grafted on fortuniana rootstock. This rootstock is particularly recommended for Florida soil and weather. It gets little BS and great vigor because of this rootstock. It gets morning sun and afternoon shade. It grows next to a clean Pope John Paul ii on fortuniana and a BS magnet miniature organize rose. Regardless of the varieties themselves, my roses grafted on Dr. Huey get the most BS problem and the bloom size and fragrance are inferior to the ones of own-root or the ones grafted on Fortuniana rootstock.
I added Princess Charlene this year from either Chamblee or Northland Rosarium and the sawflies just DECIMATED the leaves. I removed them all but it now just looks like a green stick with a few tiny “branches” 😭. Is there hope for her?
Maybe you could move the ones that have black spot. Maybe trim up the perrennials that are too close. I don’t have tea roses for that reason. I love Chaucer! I can’t see you getting rid of vintage DA’s, they are so hard to get.
i have the same issues with Abraham Darby. He's beautiful, but grows very long and wild-- and is covered in blackspot right now. My William Morris is doing well though and isn't as blackspot ridden as Abe. Ambridge is struggling a bit, though.
I too had a bad spring with Sawfly Larva. I think it's over now though. Waiting on the dreaded Japanese Beetles next. I'm zone 5b, Northeast PA. Somewhat humid and it's been very rainy this spring. I have a little blackspot starting but not too bad. My Abraham Darby's, which I love and have 3 of, are kind of spindly like yours. But my Icebergs are super stars for me. None stop bloomers and no blackspot. Thanks for this video. It was very informative. I love your voice and find it very soothing. lol
Thanks for sharing this video! I am surprised to see a lot of roses got black spot so early. I do get blackspot only for few roses but around fall here in Germany. Sweet Juliet is one rose I‘m trying to get, I hope she will grow nice in my garden. I love the big space you have for all those roses. A lovely day to you!🌹
I live in Randallstown, MD and would love to meet you to discuss gardening!!! I just started gardening 3 years ago and I LOVE IT!!! I bought about 6 or 7 David Austin Roses and I've got to say, the deer have been my biggest challenge, grrrr!
Just reading the comments I’m not worried about my Princess Charlene de Moneco anymore. She is my only band rose that is sick. I have yet to determine what her problem is. 🫣 Seeing your roses with powdery mildew… I think that’s what she has. I’d love to see a video about that! 🙏🏽😜
