My all new best for fragrance  

Enjoy !

No problem-enjoy

It’s a pleasure there’s a few more to come over the next two or three days

Well come alone there is certainly lots of media for you to work your way through. Thank you for your suggestion, but obviously I have to work with the chronic conditions that I have here and that I’m used to growing in with my experience so I may not be able to bring that one to you, I’m afraid.

No worries. I am slowly going through all your personal reviews and taking notes. I’m pulling out info that seems relevant to my growing conditions. I also found the pot video. Yay! Thank you for all the great information!

Breeders such as David Austen issued two names to the roses. The first is the commercial name, which is generally how we know them. These names are normally copy written for a period of 20 years every new variety of plant is also issued its Latin name, and for some reason all David Austins, Latin names begin with an A

It ranks at just at six for me, so I would fall into a top 25 but it’s nowhere near this list for me, I’m afraid

Same here, WOH is extremely powerful for me. Goes to show all our noses are different, as Ben often says

There is already a collection available from myself covering the subject. Please do take a look here on my profile for it. Obviously our temperature is here in the UK even when they are incredibly high don’t reach yours, but it will be a good mark point for you to start with

@@the_gardenerben Thanks! I will search for it & watch it.

They won’t. I’m afraid they are incredibly difficult to deal with a very unpopular suggestion is to basically remove the food source and that involves basically removing all of the blooms from your roses in the bad form for one season.

@@the_gardenerben thanks. Is it too late to start removing the buds now? Will they go extinct from the area if there are no more buds for the rest of the season?

I do indeed yes

How do you mean ? As include roses that are not David Austin’s ?

@@the_gardenerben I was wondering what other fragrant plants you love (non roses) And also which shrubs in the garden are your top 10.

This is a question I get asked an awful lot and it’s always difficult to answer in a constructive and helpful manner. You Plants For telling a story they’re asking you for help. If you have black spot mould and mildew, it’s generally down to several factors and the first is always stress focused watering at the base of the plant in the early morning, at least once or twice a week focused pruning, making sure you’re selecting an outward facing Budd and deep mulching generally fix most of these problems

Well sort if I’m rating vase planning life, but it won’t be done as a presentation such as this in video formation

@@bonsalam6421 hi

Do you keep a look out for it using its assigned Latin name

@@jadezx974 jolly good ! Thank you

Hello hello, and thank you for your comment please do look up my best for shade collection and separately, my best for growing in a pot or container selection I’m afraid creating a video that specific will only include one or two roses

I most certainly did

I keep asking da but they never respond I’m afraid

@@the_gardenerbenthat's strange because people love them here. Well thank you for asking anyway, hopefully one day they will answer you..

@@goldengirl65 honestly it’s so frustrating I have the all the contacts in there media teams but it takes them up to 6!weeks to respond to an email !

@@the_gardenerben that's a shame when you are really the best marketing agent for them. Being new to your channel I don't actually know your connection to them as I haven't had time to watch a lot of your older videos to see if you mention it. But no matter whether you are actually connected to them or not from the videos I have seen on RU-vid from others showing their Austin roses yours are the very best giving full details on colour, scent, height, width, strength of the rose as to whether the plant is a floppy one or has strong upright growth, they are very in-depth videos and you cover all aspects in a great straightforward timely manner so you would really think they would do you the courtesy of a quicker reply seeing you have the best info on RU-vid about them which leads to more sales for them. It's said DA roses grow more vigorously here in our hotter summers than yours and honestly I haven't found that to be true in past years. I have found some to really struggle to put on any growth but having said that your information regarding Clair Austin changed my plan of how I was going to plant her. I was going for an arch with Bathsheba but now I have bought an obelisk for Clair after watching your video. I figure eventhough they say they grow more vigorously here that hasn't been my experience with some so I will take your advice and go with the obelisk and well if she turns out to be too vigorous on it I can change next winter. So I really appreciate the great details you go into to help others. Hopefully DA will become a bit more punctual when it comes to replying to you. Thanks again for all the great videos. I do look forward to getting time to watch the older ones. Have a great day.

🤣 yep, I've got that stingy lady as well.
