As a backyard rose enthusiast, I have to say that having a garden of roses that looks this good is not an easy feat. Most people have only a few roses in a mixed border because when they don't look good they look absolutely terrible. It takes a lot of work to maintain rose plants so they look this healthy and gorgeous. You have such a lovely garden, Darren. Your time and dedication show. P.S. I planted Albertine in my garden last year based on your videos. It's an own root and still young, but I'm hoping to see some blooms this year.
I've been following you since awhile and I ADORE ADORE, your beautiful plants , you have inspired me to grow roses in my Nova Scotia, Canadian garden, keep posting your skills and superb roses 🌹
Carry on beating your gums Darren, I love listening. Each year l get more and more excited about my little garden,every year I appreciate it more,every year I think how lucky I am.🍀🌻🍻
Your garden still looks amazing. Last year, my garden was at its worst. Because of the heat waves, we had a water restriction and were not allowed to water our flower and ornamental gardens. I bought 4 clematis for my rose arches but I think, all of them died. Today,as I prune my roses, I just uprooted one. It makes me so sad, as they were expensive. January and February is the time of year when I am always feeling sad and down but at the back of my mind, I know Spring is coming. This video lifts up my spirit. Here is hoping for a great gardening season to come. 😁😁😁🌷🥀🌼🌞☀️
Your garden is simply stunning! Do you have a list of the plants you have in your garden? It all flows so well together; it is the most beautiful English garden I've seen! 🤩😍
Hello from Poland. I love your passion for roses. I will plant my first English roses this spring: EMILY BRONTE and EUSTACIA VYE. Cannot wait to see them in my garden.
Thank you for sharing your lovely gardens. There are a few plants I don’t know. I would love a video on some of your Companion rose plants and/or plants between your beautiful “Girls” thank you again:) You are very inspiring 🌹
Darren!! I loved this post in the middle of deep winter. I literally laughed and cried (one wee tear) as you spoke. It's like you gave words to what my soul feels about my garden. I wasn't intending to post a reply until you apologized for rambling for 10 mins. LOL. I genuinely thank you for every word, and for the reminder that spring is coming!! 💓
Thank you, what a wonderful inspirational garden you have …… can you tell me what is the bicolored or multicolored (red and Orange) rose at the 11:06 time stamp. You are a poet with plants…. Just amazing what you accomplished in 5 years …. And, yes, it is an addictive and worthwhile hobby. Just incredible. 🎉 The comments and chatter was good … you expressed your love for your garden and plants. Great!
You really have the reason....when I do that...I feel very relax....I see the result of a hard work....and the wonder of nature.... thank you Darren....God bless you a lot ...and thank you for sharing your videos with us....
I was inspired by your garden and have fallen in love with it! It is gorgeous! 😍 I have just purchased my first David Austin roses because of you and patiently waiting for these to arrive. I ordered 3 shrub roses and 3 climbers from David Austin and can’t wait to see how they do in my garden. I put up an arbor and 2 trellis arches and finally decided on what to plant. 🤗 I am excited to start this journey of expanding my garden with more roses!
Was für ein Wunderschöne Garten 🌹 Darren! Die vielen Rosen und Blumen, die schöne Farbenkombinatzionen, Fantastisch!! Es macht viel Freude diese Zauberhafte Rose 🌹 zu Betrachten! Danke, das Du mit uns Deine Traumhafte Garten teilst!!!
Darren, it was an absolute delight not only to see your beautiful garden, but to hear your enthusiastic narration about it! I think many of us gardeners, whether experienced and novice, are perfectly happy to prattle on about are gardens and hear others do the same. I have a middle-sized garden that's a constant work in progress. Planted 14 new roses and several perennials and annuals this year, but am always looking to squeeze in a few more! May I ask what your thoughts are on planting densely? Looking at your flowers, I think you and I share the same philosophy on it, but I'd like to know what your experience has been regarding potential airflow/mildew/overcrowding, because I often find myself trying to carve out spaces around some of my plants so that they don't overwhelm each other. I do love the look of them intermingling, so I tend to plant closer than recommended, but I worry about stunting the growth or bloom potential of each plant.
Hi Darren..well said your Garden is so lovely and there are so many places for Wildlife and Insect s at your place ❤❤❤❤ We had Snow now for a week and I am so tired of Winter i started my seedlings now…Penstemon Rhondo, different Cosmea and other variety’s..can’t wait for Spring…Love Dagmar….❤
Your garden is an absolute dream, Darren, and it's one that I very much need as ground squirrels have decimated my antique roses and other plants over the last few years in my inland San Diego County garden. Global warming is responsible as they never damaged anything for many years before. It's the new reality and I hope it never touches your wonderful plantings. I really love the mixed nature of your cottage-style garden with its symphony of colors and textures.
Such a treat on a cloudy dreary January lunchtime to enjoy your stunning oasis of over 160 exceptionally beautiful roses in your amazing garden, it is treasured and so wonderful, you must be very proud you have created something utterly stunning. Thank you for sharing Darren, Spring is coming it's not far away now, take care, lots of love to you and Ava x
Thanks for your video. It’s very helpful. I love to have that one, And I have been working very hard for building that. A big problem I have been facing is the attacks of insects coming from the fruit trees around. Could you please share your experiences about the treatment? Thank you so much.
What a beautiful garden! I love hearing you speak about it Darren. I would be the same. It's a garden to be proud of. Do you open it to people in the summer? Is it just called Open Garden Week? Xx
May I ask how you routinely care for your roses? I have around 60 in my garden and they do not bloom this profusely- not even close. How do you fertilize? Pest control? Do you routinely water? Thank you! Your garden is stunning!!
I have birch , maples and crab apple , have to keep them small as my garden is small , I have squashed 30 roses in , I want more . 3 Albertines in North front garden with 5 oliva Austin bush and a Danahue.
Darren, I do have a question for you. I've planted Albertine next to my patio to climb over a pergola. This rose definitely wants to grow every which way and I note you have it growing at the side and back of your garden. Do you suggest putting her in an out of the way place at the back of or side of a garden, or do you think she will do ok next to a patio and trained up and over a pergola? Thanks!
Hello! Albertine is most thorny and really rather unruly. I would home her somewhere out the way, but close enough to admire. Definitely not somewhere that gets lots of foot fall back and forth. Hope this helps? Xx
There are two trees in your garden that I want the name of. They might even be the same type of tree. It has small green oval leaves along the branch. One is by the shed towards the front of the garden. The other is towards the middle by the big arch covered in purple clematis. Please tell me the name.
@@darren-harwood yes they are gorgeous. I want to add more roses to my garden but I didn’t think I had enough space. However I see in your garden you plant them really closely and it works well. Your garden is fabulous. I look forward to every video.
