Anatomy of A Rose 

You're a great coach. Lots of info, sensibly presented. No fuss, no showbiz, just great coaching. Thank you very much.

I've just started my first ever rose garden with sub zero hybrid tea roses, bare root.They have done amazingly well! I am in the deep South.I use a fertilizer weekly as they are growing, water every few days,an root,it is now getting lots of green leaves.I am soooo excited!!Love your video's very helpful to new gardener like myself.Thank you!

Paul, you should have your own TV show !!! Golden Voice, Clear Explanation, etc.

Finally!!! someone with clear explanation. Thank you

Thank you for this info. I’m new to growing roses and many a time I’ve wondered what in the world others were talking about in their rose info videos. You’ve clarified a lot here.

Great video. I'm learning lots about roses the past two months and same of the terms you used and explained I was curious about but never asked. Thanks for sharing!!

Thank you.. That was an exceptional explanation of the rose for this newbie rose grower. I inherited some roses planted the next province over. My grandmother put them in, in 1920. The homestead is under new owners and they are clearing the land. I dug them up and brought them west. Planted them last August and this will be their first year in the ground here for a full season. I'm doing my best to learn how to care for them and a few new ones I'll be putting in as well now. I even have a photo of my infant father born in the early 20's with the roses behind him

This is a FANTASTIC video! Informative, and to the point,..with just a touch of humor. Perfection! Plus..I learned something! ❤️

The best "roses explained" video I have seen. Clear and simple. Thanks!

I hope this man is alive . Learnt a lot . Thank you . After 10 years ..this video is still teaching people like me .

Thanks Mr. Zimmerman. I am very very interesting to view your clips. I earned many many skill that how to take care Roses! Nobody 's explained the care of Rose that clearer and more detail than you. Thank you very much!

I LOVE this guy!!!! Thank-you for sharing this great information, and for not doing it in a way that makes the viewer feel stupid!!!

For a rose lover but amateur gardener... this was very informative. Thanks

I've finally decided to grow roses and this was Extremely helpful to me; I know rose hips and was looking into starters & cuttings, then was getting confused with BudEyes and what not; explained very well, and I thank you! Kat

Thank you so much for not being on RU-vid just for the sake of well being on RU-vid . Your videos are very helpful, detailed and most of all clear. Thanks for not standing in the back beating a rose bush to death and calling that a pruning tutorial.

Paul, I just recently moved to a place where I can grow roses (and keep them alive!) to my heart's content. This video has really helped me a lot and I can actually take better care of my roses when it comes to pruning. The terminologies were confused to me until you but you've enlightened me. Great video!

THANK YOU!!! I just moved into a house that has several rose bushes . . . they all need some work! I live in Colorado and am very happy to know what the rose hip is and to actually LEAVE it!

I am completely new to roses(and flowers, veggies are my thing) and just purchased a bare root, in the bag, plant. I am thrilled that I found your video before I actually planted it, here in Minnesota. You are truly an exceptional teacher with a delightful sense of humor! Looking forward to watching all your videos to gain confidence in the care of this plant. God Bless! Nancy

Great video, I would love to see more. I like your style man raw, simple and straight to the point.

Thanks so much. Added a great deal of clarity to a very confusing aspect of my garden.

I’m so glad I found your videos! I’m learning so much. You’re a great teacher and your explanations really help to break things down.

Oh my goodness where have you been all of my rose loving life?! You are very helpful thank you for sharing this information. I will be following you from now on. Thank you, Thank you. 🥰

Thankyou for filling me in on these terms. I enjoy your videos and I think I like roses and growing them as much as you do. I live on the west coast in Vancouver. I would like to see more info as if I was a novice and I guess I am. I have a climber with big rosehips. So now I know. thanks I appreciate what you are doing. thanks again

This is one of the best info-packed videos I've seen yet! It helps drive home the points all the other people try and get across. THANK YOU for being aware of your camera and projecting yourself. (often times, people are so hard to hear or understand.) Well done! Definitely a subscriber now! :)

Thanks!!! Finally a video that clearly explains the rose parts. You didn’t block the view of the parts which unfortunately happens in other videos I have watched.

Thank you so much for explaining. Very helpful!

Thanks so much for your videos. I was scared but you gave me confidence to give roses a try... and I must say I'm becoming addicted already :))))))

You're the best! Thank you for this upload!!

So glad you are found!

Brilliant - very informative and descriptive. Thank you as it's just what I needed.

Finally , the best lesson i have ever seen about roses

Just moved into our new house and have a climbing rose in the garden! Ive been looking at it for two months now, thinking to myself what on earth do I do with this? Your videos are just brilliant. Simple explanation that dispell some of the myths about rose pruning and care. Thankyou I dont feel so worried about touching it now. Im armed with my secateurs and ready to prune!

Since I am very new to gardening, I have set myself upon the unambitious task of how not to kill my plants. This is so helpful. Thanks.

Thanks for you video series they are great, well presented and they have a world of information.

THank you so much. This really helps. I am a new rose grower and so this really helps. Thanks.

Great introduction, thank you for the useful information.

Thank you! My new hobby is growing a healthy rose bush and I know a little more about roses.

@Found4words Thank you for the kind words. I'll look into getting an HD camera now that the prices have come down.

Wow, Video cameras, even cellphone cameras have improved a lot in 12 years. Thank goodness!

This is what I have been searching for! Thanks sooo much!

Your videos are so helpful.

I've been trimming my roses incorrectly... until now. Appreciate the vid. Thanks.

I wish you had your own tv show!!! I am sure all gardeners would watch:)

Thanks so much about explain 🌹 hips and the Anatomy of the 🌹. I'm going to plant the seeds of my rose hips, and trim it. But come Fall like you said, I'm going to leave them on their.

Thanks for the knowledge Paul :)

Wonderful information, now I know those terms! Thank you!

omg this was SOOOOOO insightful! i was lost but now am TOTALLY found!

Thank u very much for this very informative video. Greetings from Malaysia

Very helpful information. Thank you.

I really enjoyed u sharing ur valued info. You were very thorough and I understood everything u explained. Thank u so much.

I have to say , I love your charisma!

Very informative video. Thanks for sharing! :)

Just the vid I was looking for. Cheers!

Thanks, the tips will work for my roses, especially covering the main base to produce more shoots.

Very clear and informative thanks

Well done. Very helpful. Time to prune some roses.

Thank you - well explained!

Wow this is very useful! Thank you so much, your amazing!!

This was wonderful! Thank you!!!

Thanks for this! I learnt a lot I've been saying bud onion all this time haha!

Thank you and glad you enjoyed it and thanks!

Terrific video!! Thanks a million. Beautiful ring too btw!

Amazing video, thank you!

Very helpful video - everything so clearly described! Would you consider making a video about deadheading roses? Hybrid teas are easy, but climbers and English roses confuse me. When roses are blooming in a spray, do deadhead the first one when it is finished? Just lop off the single bloom? If so, do you include the inch or two of stem that it grows on? Thanks!

so useful for me, I understand a lot new things.

thank you so much for this video ... such a great help

Thanks, this was super helpful!

excellent video. thx Mark

Very interested and informative

Glad you enjoyed them and thank you for the kind words!

Thanks for the video. You mentioned to leave the Rose Hips on throughout the winter. What time of the year is it best to stop cutting them off? It's late September here in the Midwest (Illinois).

You are a great teacher!

Thank you! very informative... i don't have to wonder any more!

Very helpful! Thanks!!

So helpful!

Is it better to cut the blooms off before they turn into hips? I've been deadheading each bloom all summer long. Is this wrong? Should I let the blooms stay then crumble on the branch now that it's fall in Alabama? Thanks.

I look forward to learning how to get the best out of my roses

nice job paul thank

when u leave the hip on u leave it on for the entire winter? I have heard about trimming it down and covering the bush for the winter so if you leave the hip on do u still have to cover the base of the rose bush? especially if there is snow on the ground or do u just leave the entire thing?does the same concept apply to mini roses as well?deadheading mini roses do u cut it right under the hip of old head or do u cut above the 5 leave?do u use the same process if u just want a rose off ur plant?

Thank you. I needed that

You are very welcome. I'm glad you found it helpful!

Thank you, very informative.

Great! Thank you. Nice humor too!

Glad it helped!

Very helpful. Thank you

At one point none of us knows! Glad it helped.

very useful thank you.

@AshdownRoses Thank you so much for the great videos and all the invaluable information, broken down so even the most clueless can understand it (well, there's always one!). I second the suggestion for higher resolution. I used to have a really slow connection but it wasn't too much of a problem as RU-vid videos can be pre-loaded, but you are kind to keep in mind the less technologically gifted. However, better detail would be useful all round, I think. Thanks again.

Thank you. I have long green bean looking growths on one of my David Austin Lady of Shallot rose bushes. Do you know what this might be?

Thank you Paul. I have a beautiful climbing rose, I was a way and when back we had a good sunny days and my rose were all the way up, But full of aphids. I have been spraying with water and detergent and as far as can see and reach, but they are still there and I think ants are climbing on and feasting too. Should I cut, or what can I do. appreciate your response.

Paul - very informative - thank you. I have many canes that started late this summer and now are about 16 to 24 " long, growing like weeds. Even some late flowers have come from the rest of the existing canes. How do I now prune this bush so I get the best result for the rest of this season and next?

I love this man!

Thank u for clear and consise info

Nice Explained, Thanks Sir!
