Old Garden Roses Tour 

I love how you showcase these lovely roses side by side! It makes it much easier to choose a favorite.

so fun! I love seeing all the old roses, thanks for sharing this tour! I moved into a house that has a rose bush that was taller than me and had "second story blooms" on it, the owners before me I believe weren't much of gardeners, Ive been chopping her back once a year little by little and this early spring I took it right down to about 2 feet. Its the happiest I've seen it! honestly I think before i started doing anything to it I watched as many as of your pruning videos as i could, its safe to say i think I've got it under control now! maybe i can finally get an ID on it this summer and see how well it grows with a fresh start!

I enjoyed the tour a lot , especially when you introduced the rosa de Rescht and said it is named after a city in Iran, because I am from Rasht in north of Iran and I didn 't know there was such a rose named after my city.thank you for the very informative video.The world indeed has become a global village

Jason, these roses are just spectacular. Thank you for sharing this beautiful video.

Highly impressive rose collection,and your knowledge of each and every one Jason. Enjoyed the tour !

So beautiful! I really appreciated seeing the blooms side by side to compare their color and size. Its so hard to tell from closeup photos online and I really appreciated you showing mme Hardy next to Mme Plantier because i've noticed before that they look so similar, and since I have limited space in the garden I could only choose one. This helped me choose. Thank you!

I have now watched this most beautiful video 7 times

8:00 WELL, I'm sold on ROSE DE RESCHT! That's a brave little shrub, as well-built as a hydrangea, nice high-shouldered look to it.

Wow 🤩 I like roses ,that’s why I love watching your videos Sir Jason .I’m your avid fan from Japan 🇯🇵.

How I'd love to go on this tour. Jason, you are a treasure of information.

Lovely tour. I have an alba semi-plena in my Calgary garden, planted in 2000. No fragrance though (I was told by Holes Nursery in St. Albert it was one of the most fragrant). Oh well, it's very pretty with the bluish-green foliage. I also had a Stanwell Perpetual for many years, and I have The Polar Star, a modern rambler rose that climbs over 15 feet high and wide (needs lots of pruning in my urban backyard). Zone3b/4a.

Many thanks I have grown a lot of old world roses you have a beautiful collection, lots of love from Australia.

William Shakespeare and Madame Hardy, my two new favorite must have roses. Thank you for the tour. I’d like a mini tour featuring orange colored roses as well.

How fun! I'd love to be able to take this tour one day. 😍

You have a wonderful way of presenting the roses. You explain everything so well. And love how passionate you are about them! Thank you for the awesome videos😀

Great video ! So many times i go to see what a named variety's growth habits are like, but nobody cares to take pictures, just a couple words that don't help. Not only do we get to see it, but we get your expert comments of what isn't physically apparent. SO HELPFUL ! Really like your choices for your collection, You're a true Rosaholic ! One interesting point that i think is worth highlighting is the fact that the Bourbon Roses are "strongly " believed to be the only naturally made hybrid out of all the repeating or remontant groups....Which blew my little brain after learning how hard it was to create this gene or habit that most people take for granted ! Once again, thanks for sharing. Really enjoy what you create for your channel ❣

you are full of knowledge and such beautiful roses!

Nice to see all your old roses. I have some too. Gloria d’ Jion, Gloria Le France ( mauve pink double climber), Rosa de Retch, Varigata de Bologna, Baron d’ Girard lian, Paul’s Himalayan musk, Albertine. Love this time of year!

I can see how passionate you are!

Wonderful tour. It's so helpful to see the habit of the roses, which helps me to make choices. I have several of your roses, and I agree that Rose de Rescht is fantastic. It was one of the first three roses I acquired 20 years ago. I have three in bloom right now. One thing that I found interesting. I read that it needs a good chop every few years (3 to 4?) I did it a couple of years back and the result is perfect shape. The best it has ever had. I love that rose.

Thank you Jason, you have some very lovely roses. 🌷💚🙃

I just found old rose vines and very strange flowers in the woods in rural Louisiana. I`m gonna save them.

As you've heard, NS is burning. A 3/4 hr E or 1/2 hr W of me are 2 of the fires & we can all smell & see the smoke. Unusual that no fog has been coming into the yard frm the Atlantic since March frm below or behind my property & unheard of that I should water at all in May/June. Normally mid July to mid August I occasionally have to do my smaller potted plants but never the gardens or the lawns. Now, every pot daily & some new garden spaces. My big rose bushes only have very small clusters of leaf buds them, small bushes just nice stems so far. If we don't get rain not sure if fruit will develop on my trees. When I see all the blooms on your early roses I can see why you love what you do. So early, so much to admire. Thanks for sharing your tour. Love those funny mossy ones, the 3 corner hat of Napoleon too.

Yes, Rosa x damascena 'Казанлък' is one of the most heavily scented of rose varieties, very sweet, musky, intoxicating and sharp with some geranium and Almond notes, it's even described as being slightly spicy. The damask rose is believed to be a hybrid between Rosa gallica and Rosa moschata, with some dabbling from Rosa fedschenkoana, that originated somewhere in western Asia. For us in the UK, and southern Europe, old roses are probably better for us to grow, they're really amazing in terms of colour and scent, and are in a way, somewhat easier to grow than chinas and are also a little more disease resistant.

Awesome tour Jason.👌 Thank you Lisa for the video.🤙

What an excellent video!

Wonderful tour and fascinating commentary.

Thank you for the lovely and informative tour :) Jacques Cartier has lovely scent. I tried to grow Rose de Rescht twice, they died without ever blooming. Now that i know it has a blend of damask and gallica i'm going to get it again.

wow!!! incredible forms and colors!! I can't imagine all the perfume around there!

Jason, I want to go on a tour with the Rose Expert. I can't believe how advanced your roses are already. We had frost 3 times in the last week so my garden is really coming on slow this year.

I bought a Coupe d' Hebe bourbon before I knew what I was looking for...lol. It's small but doing great so just plan to enjoy its once- booming scent per year, train it as a climber (that'd be a great video, I'm told this shrub can be made into climber) and maybe add a clematis near it for yearly interest. Great tour! I enjoy your videos so much!

Wonderful video!!! I’d love to see more if these. I had Shakespeare 2000 in a previous home. What a spectacular red- that was almost black at times.

My favourite too Jason .. rose de rescht ..i was like .. i have that.. but i miss my damask pink left at my old house .. ( my heart bleeds for it.. i could’ve dug it up & bring it with me .. but did a cutting with others & the buyer of my house nicked the whole pot..you have a lot of damask type .. Portland & Galicia type similar to damask.. Jason you made my day .. thank you ..) which is for rose water & for gulkand making..(rose jam ).. it’s £40 here right now.. i bought it for £10 in 1995

I can't Believe You have The Yellow 💛 Rose 🌹 of Texas. My Mother had an Entire Garden full of that particular 🌹. I have never ever Seen that Rose 🌹 in My over 45+ yrs of Gardening. If You happen to know where one can purchase one I would be "Overjoyed". Sincerely Yours 🤠 Mr Severance, "The Cake 😋 🍰🎂 🥳🎉 🎊 Man".

Excellent tour!

Rosa damascena is the rose i’m talking about .. the damask rose water maker rose.. i asked my son to take me to 2 garden centres next wk. .. he was like .. i’ll buy it for u.. i can afford it but.. sweet boys of mine 30-26 age.. want to get me that one.. like how i wanted to get that moon down for them when they were little.. they know she has a craze for roses..& for that reason she loves Jason …in particular ..the one that man nicked.. you have a lovely collection there Jason.. most beautiful .. lots of love to you & family from London

I just filled my garden with old roses. Lots of buds but no blooms yet. After this tour I just can’t wait😂

These old roses are the best except for their brief season.

I can smell them from here. Obviously you've cultivated a large local following of people who respond to your showmanship.

I would absolutely love going to the tour. Never seen so many old roses.

I have now ordered 1 damask damacina & 9 moss roses after being so inspired by this most beautiful ever video i’ve ever seen.. not available at 2 different garden centres.. but peter beale & Trevor white online had them..thank you very much Jason.. i can’t believe i’m gonna have them .. but most Will be delivered early November

I enjoyed this very much

Thank you.

Phantastic!!!!

Truly fantastic tour. Great information. Thank you..

Wow! the 'Jacques Cartier' rose reminds me of a peony!

Love it!! Thank you.

Thanks

Great tour!

Wow, what a beautiful tour!

Perfect video. I liked it. ❤

Amazing property Jason I have a bunch of roses but my French isn't up to par and just call them Yellow Roses, Pink Roses, Red Roses, White Roses and Orange Roses.

Thank you for sharing your roses. They are amazing. Every time I see your video, I learn something new 😊. I have been watching a lot of your videos and didn't see pink Ladybank, I have had it since spring of 2000 and would love to share some with them. Is is to your interest? Blessings

Toda esta información no la he encontrado en castellano. Gracias por compartir tus conocimientos.

I love the history videos!

Thanks for sharing the rose tour with us! Just so you know, I noticed the wind by the roses moving more than I did hearing the wind in your mic. It wasn't an issue for me. 🌹I know you talked about rose perfumers, but did you talk about the different rose scents such as fruity, myrrh, old rose, etc. Sorry if I missed that.

The first rose İ think first growing from İsparta city in Turkiye.

My favourite is double delight.

God I wish I were there 😢; I hope to visit one day. I think it was a good idea to have a small snack and maybe add a permanent stand at the gift shop that features rose water and flavored snacks. I got hungry watching all the ladies walk around too. 😂

I think Nepolians Hat "the cresting" has the same scent as most of the Moss roses, you know the pine pitch scent! Madame P. is 1 of my favorite large roses. Alas and Moss are the best classes of OGR in my book! I thoroughly ENJOYED your tour!!!! Seeing a rose that I've had but live on a place way to small for now is like visiting old friends!! I've had all you've shown. Persian Yellow died from black spot defoliation repeatedly that summer and didn't come back. I "think, cringe" you have Persian Yellow. I think The Yellow Rose of Texas has less petals and smaller leaves being part Scot. That must have been a shot gun wedding!!!....youin here gots my lassie in the family way you consarn brown hairy Persian varmit!!! Your gunna marry my lassie or get your head blown clean offen your scoundrel shoulders!! The baby was the YROT! Yes I have seen way to many Yosemite Sam cartoons!!!😱😱😱🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💛💛💛💛💛💛💛

My favourite deep purple rose would be blackberry nip. I don't have near as many as you. Only got a tiny garden compared to yours.

Great video. I have a long hedge of old roses that I started from a shovel-full shared by a neighbor nearly 30 years ago. I’m still unsure of the identification, possibly Desiree Parmentier. It’s a show stopper on the sidewalk of my Denver CO urban garden and couldn’t be easier to care for. Since it’s a once bloomer, it’s finished before the Japanese beetles hatch. This year I plan to take it down to 2 ft for a refresh, removing old canes, etc. but until now I’ve done nothing but harvest flowers and photograph it.

Thank you for this tour; very interesting to see all these blooms together, and to hear your discussion of them. I do love Mme. Plantier. She was the first rose I had real success with; she's very tough as well as beautiful. I do find her a bit thornier than you describe, though. Is Mme. Hardy also a less thorny rose?

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

My jaques Cartier at my London house was 5 ft tall & 6 ft wide .. was trailing away with 2000 flowers on it everywhere & i used to give it tones of compost at the roots of it .. didn’t know u feed them too so no feed given ever..but just the compost was making it go mad

Uh ... "The Yellow Rose of Texas" was a song about a mixed (black and white) race woman. A predominance of white blood gave the skin a yellow caste; and a person with this skin color was called a High Yeller. Later, the state song of Texas made the subject literal; but there is doubt that Harison's Yellow was the rose.

You have such a beautiful collection of roses. It’s great that you’re able to offer tours. I’ve been looking at DA roses for my yard but I’m sure you know our selection in Canada seems to be limited. Do you know if roses can be imported from the US by individuals after being purchased domestically within the US. So carried or shipped but I’m wondering about the importing process. I imagine there are a number of hoops to jump through. I understand this might be beyond your usual questions 😅 Thanks so much

i want a kazanlik and a Ispahan

Hi Jason, By any chance, would you have a plant of the Musk rose (r. moschata)?? Long ago, I grew an Austin by the name of 'Molineux' which had a strong musk-tea fragrance. So I'm wondering if rosa moschata has the same fragrance as 'Molineux'. Is the fragrance of this particular Austin cultivar considered "musk"? From where did 'Tuscany Superb' get its gorgeous maroon pigment? Between the beautiful Munstead Wood, William Shakespeare 2000 and Tuscany Superb, the latter wins in terms of color.

Rose dd rescht can it be propagated from stdm or grafted. Here we hav it as grafted

Beautiful collection! Do you sell all these roses?

Jason, when you were showing the 'Great Maiden's Blush' I noticed some pale spots on the leaves. This is a regular occurrence on my Harison's yellow. What causes it? What can i do to fix it? Or do I even need to worry about it?

Who new Fraser VAlley was so noisy with helicopters and trains? Lol

Thanks for another wonderfully educational video Jason! Incidentally, I have a munstead wood rose by D.A and noticed the same habit as your Belle de Crecy, and because of it, has been prone to mildew despite the practice of good grooming techniques 😭. It has a stunning scent but I may have to chuck it because of poor disease resistance here in zone 9b U.S. Also, it hasn't put out as many new canes despite being exposed to 8 hours of sunlight, as well as being on regular water and feeding schedules. Most D.A roses tend to have massive growth habits here in Cali. But my experience with this particular rose has been underwhelming at best. Do you have any suggestions for a replacement? Thanks as always 😊

Okay Jason I very need Damascena rose did you have cutting

Here in New Zealand I have a rose named Elina a light yellow colour and it is apparently known for its health. It has been the healthiest one in my garden and lived in my garden the longest. Is it healthy in your area?

What was the one that is a cabbage rose popular in Morocco and France? I did not see a box with the name.?

I'd like to try a gallica rose, but seeing the size of your Charles de Mills can be intimidating. Can their spread and suckering be controlled by pruning or are there varieties that are less aggressive spreaders?

Excellent tour!
