Lovely nik. Your garden is looking great. I honestly think the roses are starting to wake up to this sunny weather we are now having. My garden is looking better and better each day I’m surprised. It’s almost as if they have been saving there energy. Your Gertrude’s are looking lovely. I think grown as a shrub is fantastic. Yours is flowering lovely. My favourite though has to go to Abraham Darby. Bonus points for it being a cutting :)
My favourite rose in your garden has to be Super Trouper Nik. The views from your garden are stunning and I bet it's really peaceful where you live. Hope you're not melting in this heat. I am but my tomatoes are loving it and at long last have turned red. I've been getting the odd few but not my normal bountiful crop. Not been my best year for them.
Thanks for watching yet another of my videos Wendy! Super Trouper is flowering its heart out at the moment and is certainly eye-catching. The peacefulness of our garden varies, especially at this time of year when they are baling hay and harvesting various crops round about. The heat has made me disinclined to do anything much in the garden apart from keeping it watered and deadheaded - I'm looking forward to the weather breaking to tackle more cutting back and ... well, I can't say I'm looking forward to weeding. I'm hoping the rain that's coming doesn't cause too much damage to the roses just as mine are doing so well. Our tomatoes are on their last legs now - I'm afraid I grew from seed very early and had about 48 in pots - absolute madness. One day we picked about 25 pounds of tomatoes and now have a freezer full of tomato soup and ratatouille and have given away huge quantities. Next year I am limiting myself to 12 to give me space for roses on the decking!
Very beautiful Garden, I noticed that the Austin Roses flower longer then others….❤….Ok…now I am glad I gave Eustachia Yve away, i had her bare Root, she made a few Flowers this Summer and I was disappointed, from the Austin Description I was hoping for an Updated Abraham Darby, pinkish apricot…had the same faded colours like yours…nope not mine and the scent wasn’t as good as AB either…😢
I will be digging out Eustacia Vye shortly. It has grown well, but it seems like the battery chicken version of a rose to me. It has sprays of blooms the size of a football, which look grotesque and charmless. Emily Bronte went last year - blooms the colour of wet newspaper.. I will stick with Gertude, Dedemona, Sceptered and Munstead; and look elsewhere than DA in the future. Lovely garden, lovely view.
A bit brutal, John! To each their own. I'll admit that I don't love Eustacia, but she is reliable in adding colour to the garden, although she doesn't like the rain. Last year Desdemona was the love of my life, but she hasn't done at all well for me in this year's weather. I'm just looking forward to see what next year brings. I liked the wet newspaper comparison!
@@nikkonch I wouldn't say brutal, but certainly impassioned ! Bare roots need three years to get established and when they turn out to be disappointing, it is a big disappointment ! With the benefit of experience, I would settle for a rose with fewer smaller blooms, but better spaced throughout the bush. I wont buy another new DA variety, without seeing a mature version in the flesh first. That's my new year resolution ! Thank you for sharing your garden, for others to see.
Спасибо за ваши добрые замечания. Маленькие цветочные горшки - 15 литров, большие - 50 литров. Я бы хотел использовать только большие горшки, потому что в них лучше растут розы большего размера. Прошлой осенью я сразу посадил все свои новые розы Дэвида Остина с голыми корнями в большие горшки, и они выросли очень хорошо.
