Thank you so much for your garden tour showcasing your stunning rose collection. It’s truly something I look forward to. I too have had delays in getting roses that I ordered over a year ago from Grace Rose Farm… not afraid to say their name. I will never buy from them again. If the sum of us who’ve had delayed rose orders spoke publicly MAYBE they’d, as you said, hire more people. They’re earning interest on our money!!! I’m tired of it. I know this problem has hit other growers BUT Grace Rose Farm has endless excuses that only insult my intelligence… always a different excuse. Ok-rant over. You have introduced me to some varieties that I had not heard of and just purchased Star of Republic… cannot wait to grow this stunning Rose. Hope you get your voice back soon because it’s so soothing and excellent to hear while gushing on your beautiful garden!
I just posted the most beautiful pic of Star of the Republic on my Instagram account, you gotta go see! I still love Gracie-she introduced me to Max Sea which I will be forever grateful for, but they really have struggled big time in launching their rose bush business. No denying that and I’m amazed at how many people just gloss over it like it’s no big deal. I’ve learned my lesson to never preorder roses again. Thanks so much for watching and I’m so glad you enjoy the tours!❤
Good to know that I am not the only one got delayed shipment from Grace Rose Farm. I had my garden bed/terrace done in February in order to plant those exclusive "bare roots." Turns out not only shipping was delayed, instead of bare roots they are shipping containers 😔. I received one out of five orders. The plants are quite tiny (healthy though.) another issue they have is some of the roses are not up to their standards so will be further delayed until next year. They gave us few choices though...keep the order for next year plus a free rose and a grand gift certificate, replace with another available rose to ship now or just cancel it. I think they take up the responsibility very well so I am not mad, just a little disappointed with the circumstances. Oh well, good luck to all us 😊!
Yes I opted for a refund the second time around they delayed. Hopefully no more will be “no longer available this year” that’s what I was mainly worried about since 4 out of my order have been affected so far. Also it makes me uneasy how delivery dates keep getting pushed back. Won’t be doing that again!❤
Love your garden and the roses 🥰 ! You choosed really nice composition with your flowers . Thanks for showing us! The big blue hosta maybe is Hosta sieboldiana 'Elegans' . I love the variation of different hostas a lot ! They a so perfekt for shady places . Greetings from the baltic sea coast of northern Germany 👋🏻
I am new on your channel and roses ‘ world. I like your garden so much. I am in Ca zone 9. I have a clean backyard smaller than yours but I am planning to plant some climbing roses on pots for now. I am still learning about roses and listening and watching video from roses’ lovers. Thank you for showing your garden.
Greetings from Ireland, Great video and beautiful garden, We have one very old peony rose in the garden no thorns great we get along. My mother is eighty seven and she has lots of the dangerous thorny ones, I call down to her every weekend to look after her flower beds. I don't wear garden gloves when I'm gardening and there have been times when I weed around them I thought I'd end up in A&E. My mother tells me to wear gloves but do I listen no so I get what I deserve
Thanks so much for sharing! You just gave me a good idea that I should be treating my Madame Anisette and Olivia as climbers - because they do act like them in my climate. I'm in FL and they are extremely healthy, almost no black spot with little or no treatment, so I am happy with them. Now, I am gonna train them as climbers instead of keeping them as shrubs.
Beautiful rose collection, love your ever-changing garden. I always look forward to see your roses ever since I started growing them in my garden in the same zone.
Thanks for the tip on David Austin not doing well in the Georgia climate. I moved 2 DA Jubilee Celebration yesterday because they just look dead. I was so overjoyed when I purchased them. I hope they do better in this sunnier spot. I love your rose gardens. Thanks I live in Stonecrest, GA.
Love your videos so much! I only started collecting roses last year..Dreamland is on my bucketlist!.. What a beautiful rose! I have family in N. Georgia and have been there a few times..such a pretty place:)
Beautiful garden you have !!! So I am not the only one who switch to Kordes roses .... I am in zone 3 Canada North .. and to much problem of black spot in my zone with David Austin rose with only few exception of them ...
You said you're done w/ DA roses. I'm waiting on a couple replacement BR roses from them. I wanted to see if they'd honor their generous 5-year warranty and THEY DID! I ordered 4 back in, I think, 2020, they arrived late May 2021. After the first winter (I'm in Minneapolis MN) one 'Queen of Sweden' and one 'Princess Alexandra of Kent' planted in a container didn't survive. Finally, I inquired about their warranty w/ photos of the dead roses. They asked a couple care questions then said I could order 2 replacements. They're out of Queen BR (I could have gotten a refund). I opted for and ordered 'Gabriel Oak'. I am expecting them today. 🤭
I hope they grow well for you! I have ordered replacements before, only for them to die again. Just my personal experience unfortunately. I know they grow very well for other gardeners!
I LOVE your Roses!!! The Deer eat my roses. Any idea on something I can do to keep them out of my yard? Thank you for sharing!! That Alchemist is a Knockout!!
I’m sorry you have to battle deer! I have no experience with that so I cannot help you there unfortunately! Maybe try growing in a protected space? Or in pots if you have a patio or deck?
How do you apply Max Sea.... also Im considering Madame Anisette ...thoughts on her ...thanks. The back garden looks so much better than a couple of years ago.
Thanks for sharing your garden! I did not know Alchemist was a one time bloomer (sad face) how long does it bloom for? Hope you feel better soon! blessings from Canada :)
They're looking beautiful! One question: The rose that you said was growing well (no flowers yet) that you called 'courage', was that actually 'courageous'? I was thinking of getting 'courageous' so I was just wondering?
