How I Support Roses AFTER their First Flush of Blooms 

I am learning how to care for roses, and I appreciate all your videos! Thank you so much for sharing your garden with us!

Olga you are teaching me so much. Thank you.

I was inspired to go apply Rose-tone to my heirloom roses, water and deadhead them.

Oh, you and your channel are wonderful! 😊 Thank you for sharing your passion for roses! As a fellow rosarian, I found this so refreshing, lovely, and relaxing to watch... I could easily watch/listen to your working and talking with roses for hours. Really informative and enjoyable! So glad I found your channel... I'm diving into all your other videos now too. 🌹🏵🥇👏

Learning a lot from you, Always love to watch your video and your garden is inspiring.

Good information, thank you! And wow, the Katrina rose (behind you when you were showing the fish emulsion, I think that's what that one is called?) has exploded! Very pretty!

Thanks

Yes, agreed, alaskan fish emulsion is fantastic. Maybe two tines a year i will apply organic alfalfa meal. I think it helps sweeten the fragrance of the bloom. I also apply earth worm castings,bone and blood meal early in the spring. Of course diotamaceous earth and silica are judiciously used on the foliage to detour pest.

Have you ever tried to grow a rose from a cutting? A few years ago, I bought a rose off the discount rack with no tag. It holds its leaves all winter and blooms like crazy through October. It’s beautiful and I’d like to have more.

Thank youOlga for sharing. I am 74 and I love to garden. I am blessed and can still do quite a bit but I have been watching your channel for a short while and have learned so much. Your gardens are so lovely. Recently I ordered some David Austin Roses. I planted each in large containers. I have watched many of your videos but I can’t remember what you mulch with. I started making the leaf compost in the contractor bags but they are not ready yet. I live in zone 9b a d our summers are brutal. I mulch my tomatoes and vegetable garden with straw but I wanted to know what you suggest for roses. All your information has been so helpful. Thank you so much and God bless you.❤

I love watching you in your garden. ❤ So many tips for a new rose grower as myself. My roses are each one year old next month , What would best treat the black spot fungus from the roots immune system? And topically also. Thankyou Carmen. Catherine.

🙏👍😁 I want to confess to you how I say your name after watching your vlog... Ooooohhhh•lgaaaahhh....Calm•my•moood•yeeeee☺️😘😁😂🤣🌿🐛🤭🦋🦚God bless you Olga!!!

Can you do a video on bugs and diseases? For instance, what you do for sawflies, powdery mildew, etc?

😊❤

Can you show us a close up of basal shoots on the rose bush? I think I have these on my Generous Gardener but I am not sure. They are coming out of the ground and they are red. Will the fish emulsion attract rodents?

Hi Olga! How old is your Peggy Martin bush? She is so beautiful!! I have 2 of them growing in my garden, it's about 1 year old and it has just a few clusters of buds. Not much.. Is she still too young?? Also, mine has long canes draping down and covering my whole fence. Do you recommend trimming her long canes? I notice yours doesn't have a lot of canes, do you cut them and keep only a few?? When will she really start blooming???🤔 I don't know much about the care of this rose. Your garden looks beautiful as always!!!😍

Would you recommend doing this with brand new roses? I planted them bare root this spring and they have just finished their first flush.

Hi, I need some advice. My lady of shallot is completely defoliated by some kind of insect. When I first noticed holes in the leaves, I took some leaves to a nearby garden nursery and ask for advice on what to do. I asked him if I should spray it with neem oil, but he said it looked like a fungus and advised me to apply a fungicide. I took his advice and sprayed all the bushes that day but then we had rain that night. I did not respray with the fungicide after the rain. I sprayed with neem oil but I think I was too late . I did get a few blooms but I do not see any new buds forming for a second blooming. The canes are still green but there are no leaves. One bush still has some leaves and new growth on it but the buds blooming now no longer are lady of shallot. They are a red rose with a pale yellow center! When I first planted these Lady of shallot rose bushes 4 years ago, they came in a pot from local nursery, and they were not bare root roses. Is that why they are turning red and no longer look pale orange? They are a completely different rose now. They were David Austin roses. What is your opinion of what happened to these roses? Do I leave the defoliated bushes and try to revive them with new compost and fertilizer or do I cut them back to the ground? They have no dieback on the canes but have no leaves at all left on three of the rose bushes.I assume the roses cannot produce new blooms without leaves for photosynthesis? Please help. Any advice would be appreciated.

My Gertrude Jeckle just finished blooming and I fertilized with Rose Tone. It had a beautiful showing but new buds are turning brown and the stems are shriveling. What could be causing this? I wish I could attach a photo.

How do you clean the Neem Oil from the sprayer. My sprayer always clogs up.

do you ever use rose and flower ferterlizer from neptunes harvest?

I have heard fish emulsion would attract a lot of stray cats . have you found this to be so ?
