My Top Performing Roses 

Excellent advice. Many thanks

David Austen was your uncle?! This is like horticultural royalty! Those roses all look beautiful - I'm in Wales, on rich clay, and the roses love it. If we have a hot, light summer, they are a triumph, even if I say so myself. On the downside it is often damp and drizzly here too, so we get the usual rose diseases and balling etc. Still I would never be without them. One of my favourites is rosemoor - so dinky and fragrant.

Can we buy and how will you please send me your address thank you so much

RIP David Austin. You have greatly enhanced my life here on Earth.

What a beautiful home and garden you have !

A wonderful tutorial on roses in general. Excellent recommendations, thanks!

I love the roses growing among the vegetables.. art! So lovely! Always so informative! You inspire me every time!!

I’m so happy I found your channel! Your so delightful and knowledgeable! What a joy to follow you! ❤️

What about black spot, does it attach those roses. We have Japanese beetles which are not found in the Uk.

Thank you for sharing all this knowledge,enjoy your videos so much.

I adore roses and have many. Thank you for your recommendations Bunny. Great information as always 🌹

I love David Austin roses

Great advice. I don’t recognize too many of those except for DA’s and Pomanella which I just saw in a public garden in West Hartford CT US called Elizabeth Park. Very interesting shape to the rose. Like mini peonies. My favorite roses I have to say are from Kordes. So flawless Here in New England we are so humid that DA start off great in spring but when summer hits they get black spot. Proven Winners OSO easy, Easy Elegance roses and Knockout roses do well for us without any spraying

Bunny, you are a wealth of knowledge and I cant thank you enough!

Do you sell cuttings? the pomponella is beautiful

I grow the beautiful damask rose Charles de Mills on shallow soil and have never had any problems with it. It's a winner for me.

Wonderful Bunny

Thank you.

How on Earth did I miss out on this video??! Fantastic review Bunny!

This is the MOST OUTSTANDING TUTORIAL ON ROSES. IT IS A “ CLASSIC “. My favorite and a true reference on all desirable roses 🌹. A Keepsake!!!!! Thank You for putting this before us. Another one of your videos to refer to again & again.

Oh! I had no idea David Austin was your uncle, Bunny. I have a Claire Austin, and two William Shakespeare Austin roses. I used to have half-standard (called Patio Tree Roses here in S. California) roses in terracotta pots along one side of my deck, when I had a 2,500 sq. ft. lot. Now I have space, but clay soil, so I still grow roses in pots, usually large resin containers. I fell in love with Old Garden roses, and have added Reine des Violettes, Blush Noisette, Apothocary rose, and cabbage rose to my hybrid teas. The company grows them self-rooted, so no suckers. I'm intrigued by your ramblers at the forest edge. Your videos are so inspiring!

An interesting and thought provoking selection. I agree that Ferdinand Pichard is the best striped rose (Commandant Beaurepaire is a close second, but too leggy in our garden). For scent, I would choose Mme Isaac Pereire (even though she is a martyr to blackspot) and the much more healthy rugosa Blanc Double de Coulbert. I've just added Sandringham (bred by the late Peter Beales) and Captain Christy, as short climbers, and Lovely Parfuma (a.k.a. Rosengrafin Marie Henriette / Mme de Montespan, bred by Kordes).

Bunny, you are a legend ❤❤❤

Here in the US we unfortunately have Japanese Beetles- is this something that you deal with in England? If so, how do you treat for them?

Thanks! I learned a lot about roses today.

For this old girl who is new to Roses, even tho I have only one that I bought some 16 yrs ago, it is divine. I'm in the states on Maryland's eastern shore, heavy tan clay soil. I wasn't a tag saver back then either, so to confirm my thinking that this one is the David Austin Rose Penelope, I have order her to see if I'm right. If I'm wrong who cares, another beautiful Rose in the garden is fine by me. Thanks for putting this together, seeing the whole gambit in one sitting was wonderful.

So beautiful! Can you put the names to all the roses you speak of? I love the red roses you showed quickly and the maroon roses at the end. I didn’t catch the name with your accent. Thank you!

I just love the story behind your garden. Even the memories of individuals is a lovely touch.

Thanks for a great informative video once again !

wonderful information, thank you for all your hard work

I'm outside of Melbourne Aust, and have just bought - again, for a new garden - a David Austin call "Ambridge" - it flowers almost continuously from Spring to the end of autumn, and has a beautiful perfume, along with pinky apricot flowers. Thanks for your recommendations!

Your unknow rose you grew from a cutting from Johs rose - looks very much like Francois Juranville

Thank you very much! I honestly enjoyed it. I could listen to you for hours.

Always a pleasure to listen and learn from you Bunny🌞

Thanks for sharing this Beautiful Awesome view of Roses absolutely Magnificent and So Appreciate your Sharing the Information about Them

Insightful and delightful, as always. Thank you Bunny.

Bunny I don't know if you said how you manage aphids or if I have missed it, perhaps you have them managed naturally?

Wonderful video . So packed with interest . Thank you for uploading :)

Could you tell me the name of the very pale pink that you had in your entry to this video. I so love that pale pink color. Thank you so much for the video. I agree....horticultural royalty!

Very informative, probably the best garden video I have seen.

I have 47 Rose's. The large majority have now got Rose Rosette Disease . I'm devastated. I have to kill them even though they are dying. I'm so utterly sad . My Rose's are my babies . Got a few David Austin roses but they dont thrive very well

Could you, please, repeat the name of the long-flowering clematis?

I live in Colorado and some of my favourites include David Austin's Abraham Darby, Kordes bred Dortmund, York and Lancaster, Felicia, the white Meidiland, Iceberg shrub, Canadian Winnipeg Park and climbing Victorian Memory. They are all hardy, reliable, disease resistant and most are very fragrant.

Brilliant video as always. Thank you.

Thank you so much for your video. Please do more roses video. Love love roses 🌹

Great share Bunny, I love your place. Nice gardens

🌹🌷💕 love re-watching this one

Roses are my favorite too! In FL they can be fussy with the humidity but mine are doing well by under planting with salvias. My DA’s struggle compared to my Kordes’. My first year Ballerina has already put out a few blooms! Cannot get enough of roses! Love your channel! Xoxo from FL

Lovely roses and informative

Do you get black spot? If so how do you deal with it ?

What an excellent and very informative video.

Do you grow all of your cuttings on their own roots?

Another long flowering less used clematis is viticella Betty Corning. Flowers for months a silver purple hooded flower that is scented

How do you deal with pests in the garden ie. aphids ?

Thank you Bunny, your my favorite! I have just this year planted 3 knock out roses, which I don’t know if that is the same as a regular rose….but in spring I am going to get a real shrub rose….And maybe a climbing rose. They are wonderful in your garden, you have a beautiful home.

Wow great information !

Ferdinand Pichard, wow! 🌹

I love your excellent postsBunny, I am in Melbourne Australia and my mother loved roses so much my middle name is Rose, so I have many in the garden. Love them all!

wowww...david austin is your uncle

Lovely roses - but you have to take more than the soil into consideration. When I started my garden nearly 40 years ago, I planted a number of David Austin roses, but none of them did well. The reason - the climate. Summer temperatures get too hot for them. And now, of course, even hotter.

Are there any roses that do not need dead heading?

One of the things I love about Bunny’s garden is that so many items have a story behind them, a place where the cuttings were made.I was Markos last time we met.

There is a yellow 'Mutabilis,' so perhaps that's what you got instead of the more traditional tri-color variety.

Great video! What is the name of the rose featured in the video clip? Also, one can't be sure, but your beautiful pink climber looks like,

I absolutely adore roses,but the Japanese beetles and the deer pressure keep me away from planting.

The beautiful rose looks like Cecile Brunner Rose to me. The Rose you collect ed a cutting from your friend who passed on.

Beautiful

Can anyone name the rose at 20:22? The one that is drooping down. I would love to mix that color in with things I have.

I didn’t know Jacque Cartier was a climber?

I like to buy the perfuming. Roses the old English one

I can’t find Pompanella rose in the USA

Many roses are grafted onto a hardy rootstock which results in healthier rose shrubs.... as much as roses are the nations favourite they have fallen out of fashion in recent years ...I would implore everyone to support their roses nurseries. In the UK a number of rose breeders have hung up their boots, inc Colin Dickson recently who bowed out with another Rose of the Year winner 'It's a wonderful life' a florabunda which apparently has a Watermelon scent.... my order will be in for bareroot stock. One of my own favourites is Scent of Heaven which has a divine scent ROTY winner 2017. The list provided by Bunny is biased towards poor soil ..most rose lovers go to the ends of the earth to give their roses the best soil to thrive.

There are some disease-resistant repeat-flowering ramblers such as Super Excelsa, Super Dorothy, Perennial Blue, Libertas, Jasmina.

2:23 why do u bury the white box together with ur rose? Thanks

I have an old Noisette rose called Gloria de Jion which is apricot yellow with double flowers. It is very fragrant with repeats blooms and grows in part shade. 15 feet tall. It is one of the parents of English rose, Evelyn! Clematis Multi-blue looks fabulous with it.

What better way for an Australian to learn about roses than to sit at the feet of England's finest rose, Bunny. Thank you so much for making this video. I do not have a lot of rose experience but am captured by your passion, so forward I must go. The roses I most remember in Australia are the ones grown to bloom at a specific time e.g. Melbourne Cup Horse Race. My favorite colored rose is yellow and my wife has a passion for red. Perhaps you can suggest a rose that would bring harmony to this seemingly diverse couple who are so much in love. Thank you Bunny!

Fabulous, really helpful information. Thank you.

I am from Brazil,you sell rose seeds rose la france?

@BunnyGuinness recently discovered your channel; I love it! As an avid gardener and designer one of my keen interests is roses so wanted to thank you for your particular insight in this area. One of my favourite roses to use is Rosa 'Blanc Double d'Colbert' and was happy to see it in your list. I did have an observation/question with regard to the specimen you showed in the video - in my experience 'Blanc Double d'Colbert' is a sterile variety of Rosa rugosa, having loads of pollen but the hips do not form; the seeds/fruit abort. Could your specimens actually be Rosa rugosa 'Alba Semi-plena'? In my experience this variety does form sizable and plentiful hips.

Great information, so helpful.👍🤗

Can you buy Timeless roses in the US?

Very woody Old Girl, Bunny Guiness!

Very detail explanation. I enjoyed it.

What is the best rose plant for florida

Perhaps the pink climbing rose from your friend's garden is Champney's Pink Cluster.

I think the pink rose given to you by John Cushney is the hybrid musk Felicia she is a large fragrant shrub I have it and it can be grown as a climber I got mine from David Austin roses

素晴らしい! wonderful !

Dear Bunny, I really am grateful to you for all the information you give in all your videos. It's absolutely priceless! This video is very timely for me as I was wanting to take a rose cutting from a neighbour's garden that has GLORIOUS SCENT. Unfortunately, she doesn't know the name of it. The colour is similar to the one you are sitting next to in this video Please would you be able to confirm the name of the pink rose that you have beside you in this video? Many many thanks, Susan

Pomponella like Raubritter

Hi bunny. I’ve no idea if you will see this message but your timeless collection of roses you say was bred by Wharton’s but when I look online it says Noack as the breeder. As far as I’m aware a German rose breeder who appear to have many ADR award winning roses. Could you please shed a little light if your aware. Many thanks and I love your channel.

Muntjac deer have decimated our roses this year, so disheartening ☹️

How do you treat black spots?

I'm in Canada and loved this video. I just bought a rose called "British Garden" on it's tag, but for the life of me cannot find any information on it. Have you heard of this rose? Underneath it says English garden rose.

So do you just buy one rose, and then use cuttings from it to get a multitude?

Roses name？please

Bunny, what is the plant behind you as you are sitting at the beginning of the video? Is it an artichoke? Thank you.

What a lovely video.

Is constance rose a climbing rose?

thank you for posting this. I took the plunge last year and planted three rose beds and 15 climbers, the majority David Austins. They've all grown really well but sadly missing the wonderful scents that people talk about. Mme Isaac Perriere, Desdemona and GJ haven't disappointed though, very fragrant. Can I ask your advice. I'm a bit stumpedf as to how to deadhead boscobel to encourage new flushes. It will produce a many stemmed cluster of a dozen or more flowers from one very upright 18 inch shoot. So I've let my entire cluster flower and deadheaded them as they faded and now the lot have been removed. Following the main stem of the cluster down the bush and looking for a 5 leaf junction to prune to I'm about 8inches off the ground before I find one. Seems pretty drastic to me to lop off about 18 inches of abundant growth. None of the above junctions on the cluster have a five leaf node ? To confuse me even more some of the stems on the cluster have begun sending growth shoots, Crown Princess Margareta does something similar, lots of stems on a cluster and new shoots emerging from cluster nodes before the whole cluster has been deadheaded. Do you have any advice ?

I would have liked to hear your view on hedge roses.
