Bonus video,my 12”most drought tolerant” 

How long do your roses rest for in Las Vegas ?

I am from las Vegas too, ordered several David Austin roses for 2/23 arrival, I will for sure order Tranquility next time, maybe we can exchange some cutting?

I live in Italy, Vicenza, last summer was excruciating hot...many of my roses have been dying after the very hight temperatures and drought...thank you fir sharing your experience

It’s my pleasure I’m glad that you enjoy them

I’m more than happy to help tranquility will make a big shrub -enjoy

That’s what I’m heat for -thank you 💚

I really hope that you enjoyed the video that you found it. Helpful bring me Sunshine is certainly a fantastic rows and I’m not entirely sure whether you’ve watched my new 2023 top 20 video Bring me Sunshine now ranks as my most recommended. David Austin rose.

I’m pleased that you found it helpful

Oh Ben. I am sorry, I’ve written this on the wrong channel

It’s really lovely

I should think it would do very nicely yes as with all roses in dry conditions make sure that you give it plenty of mulch good quality leaf mould bark organic soil conditioner over the winter months to make sure the soil around its root system is nutrients and water rich one of the issues with this particular rose is it doesn’t stand up well to wind the blooms are very large so if you can give it a sheltered spot

@@the_gardenerben Thank you Ben, the location is sheltered from the wind, its right along our front porch. I do use shredded redwood "mulch," called Gorilla Hair (it looks like red hair!) to retain moisture, I can also add compost over the winter months, we have a community compost program here and use it for other beds. I also use organic rose fertilizer, 4-6-2, applied three times a year. Very much appreciate your advice and look forward to planting this beauty later this year 💕

Colour is often bleached when the temperature is so high I really don’t rate Bathsheba at all in 2 years it’s never bloomed

Wow, that's a surprise, my Bathsheba is only in its 2nd year and grew like a weed this year, the autumn flush has been by far the best, the blooms survive the Irish rain very well and have the most elusive fragrance but you have to get your nose in. Mine is west facing and doesn't get any direct sunshine till after midday.

It’s too late in the season now I’m afraid but it’s my personal review of it was filmed with the shrub if I’m not mistaken

Lol this one’s Colocasia esculenta so yes in theory the corms are edible

May I ask where can you order Constance and Japanese roses in line, thank you

@@iloveeurope3341 i live in Malaysia, i got them from local Malaysian seller

Of course I can out of interest do you use Instagram I’m currently running a giveaway on Instagram for david Austin where you can win a bundle of three roses is the same username you’ll find the post pinned to the top of my profile I mention it because one of the roses in those bundles is perfect for hedges Look out for the following The lark ascending Tottering by gently Kew Gardens Buttercup Scarborough fair And the Queen of Sweden All of these variety stand up to changeable, whether well

I do not have an Instagram account, but I can sure make one. Thank you for all of your help!

It’s a very tough little rose along with its white sister “Susan Williams -Ellis” i reviewed both this year, during National rose month

@@the_gardenerben The Mary Rose rose is from 1983, I think you reviewed the Mayflower rose en Susan Williams from 2010.

The poets wife prefers a bit of shade no more than around 4/5 hours of sun per day BMS is not due for my full review untill next June

Please do watch my full review of the poets wife and my first impressions of BMS in the mean time both Available to watch hear

It’s a good question but it’s not easy to answer, it dose vary usually it’s Olivia Rose, Austin, Princess Anne and Maygold first in bloom

@@the_gardenerben thank you.

As you may know it currently holds my number one most recommended David Austin rose my plant however is under two years old and although has performed well this season didn’t make it into the top 12 for this particular category

@@the_gardenerben Thank you so much for your assessment!

They most certainly are yes -and yes I do

@@the_gardenerben how did SoF do in the recent heat?

@@fueryvanvaerenburg not a good season for it at all this year

I’m sorry to say that the worst thing that you could do is prune it when it was in a dehydrated state best thing to do is to start watering them and allow them to park up and re leaf, only that way can you see if any permanent damage has been done,

Thank you kindly, Ben. It wasn't dried out, meaning soil, & I've kept it hydrated. Sad to hear I'd "goofed" by trimming it. Just couldn't see if it could harm it at this state. (I've always heard there's no way to kill a rose by pruning it.) Wish I would have seen your column first. Many thanks.

@@christinesadovsky6382 well let’s see what it dose fingers crossed it bounces back

Hi no not with mine but this summer was crazy hot I know many people struggled with short bloom life and scorching

Both a fab bit one is in my top 20 ranking at no 5 this year and no 2 in 2021, the other doesn’t place

@@the_gardenerben Im leaning the same way! She just keeps popping up in your “top” lists

Hi, are you talking about James Galway or Graham Thomas?

@Ben Hamilton Anderson -The David Austin expert Sorry, James Galway. I've ordered them to climb my gazebo. I'm in zone 9 in California. Also how are they at attracting bees?

@@dznycpl as a general rule, roses with the petal count of James Galway are useless, foremost, pollinating, insects James Galway is yet to be fully reviewed by myself, it will be done this coming June

@Ben Hamilton Anderson -The David Austin expert yes that's what I was hoping for. I'm allergic to bees but love flowers, so I have a lot of geraniums, hydrangeas, and peonies. I just wondered how the James Galway did in the heat as mine will be in full sun. Looking forward to your video and love all your content!! 💕

May I ask what country you’re joining us from Bring me Sunshine with a new release into the UK market in 2022 it is unlikely to be released into the European or further markets into at least 2024

@@the_gardenerben I'm in Michigan , USA. Well I heard it's worth the wait then!!

How long have you had them ? And how did you buy them bare root or potted ?

@@the_gardenerben 2 years potted .tiny flowers, opening and falling same day plant with no shape. Maybe I did not plant in the right place , it was growing too much

Ben, I recently found your channel and have been binging! Thanks for offering your knowledge! I live in the mountains of Colorado at an elevation of 9,200 feet. The natural soil is decomposed granite but I’ve done a lot to amend my soil so it will hold some moisture. I’ve wanted roses forever and knew I didn’t have ideal growing conditions for them. For my 60th birthday last year, my kids each got me a David Austin bare root rose - Queen of Sweden, Princess Alexandra of Kent, Eustacia Vye and Alnwick. I put them all in the ground and babied them. All but Eustacia Vye 17:27 bloomed - though only a few blooms. I am waiting to see if they will survive our winter (zone 4 here - and they are all rated for that). I can’t wait to see if they survive before I order more, or they will all be gone! So….I have already ordered (after being influenced by your top picks) Silas Marner, Country Parson, Gabriel Oak and another Eustacia Vye. I am making myself crazy in the planning process. I’m considering digging a few up that are in the ground (Alnwick, Eustacia Vye and Princess Alexandra of Kent, and putting them in pots, along with the newly ordered Gabriel Oak and second Eusacia Vye. I thought I would put two roses in each pot for a total of 3 pots. Would you do this? I could keep the pots in the garage over the winter. I’m also really drawn to The Lark Ascending and figure that needs to go in the ground, but the west side of my house is the big porch where it would need to go in a pot. Would it do okay in a pot? See…I can’t even ask a question that is concise! I guess I want to know which roses you think will do best in my climate - whether all in pots, or ground or combination. These roses are expensive but I want to grow them so badly! I also am a huge fan of scented roses, which I know the Lark Ascending is not - but I love it’s color! Help!
