Thank you, Masora looks better than both Evelyn and Abe this spring, which surprised me.

😭👍🌷😁💐🥰😘🌹

Thanks for watching! What a small world, I am happy people see my garden from far away

We can never have too many, lol!

I’m thinking that you’re somewhere in Orange County, Ca or Central CA. I’m originally from San Francisco Bay Area. However, when I bought my colonial house in Fresno, California, I planted 160 bare root roses. Now, however, I have just recently moved here to Southern, Indiana and growing hybrid teas and grandifloras are more than challenging here. I would love to know if you use Cedarwood mulch and if you use a liquid 12 month systemic? I was also thinking you must have an underground watering system or at least a drip system. Fortunately, I don’t have to worry about watering much here being that we get so much rain. Would love to know your fertilizer of choice as well as insecticide. I just discovered your videos tonight. Absolutely wonderful.

@@john-robert1961 Thanks for the kind words. I’m in Elk Grove, just south of Sacramento, moved here 2 years ago from TX and started this rose garden also about 160 roses. When I lived in Texas I used Mancozeb and Propriconazole together as a spray to combat blackspot. So far I’ve been no-spray in CA. I also used cedar mulch, it worked well, I use finely shredded redwood in CA because it’s readily available and easily spread. For roses in ground I like a balanced organic like Plant Tone or similar, plus compost, alfalfa tea and seaweed in spring. For pot, frequent light feedings of miracle gro, sometimes with alfalfa tea and seaweed

@@GardenGlimpses-NorCal it’s like developing your own secret recipe. Lol! I’ve done pretty much the same thing. I like the many different concoctions that I’ve come up with through the years. Cedar and redwood mulch should be helpful in deterring pests. I’m familiar with Elk Grove, El Dorado Park, Folsom, Old Sac, etc. lol! See, you don’t have humidity there like I have here. I have never lived outside of California until just six years ago. Let me tell you, it sure is different. However, coming from Texas I would think that you would know what humidity is like, as well. That’s all I have to say to that. Lol Anyhow, i’m looking forward to watching more of your videos and seeing more of those wonderful roses. I want to thank you for giving me all that information on your fertilizing, pesticide and fungicide routine.

Awesome, thank you!

Thank you! 😊

Thank you! Cheers!

Thank you! Cheers!

Cheers to you too

I'm so glad!

Thanks for watching!

Thank you for sharing about your garden. My mom is 88 and still loves to work in the yard, too!

Thank you very much

Thanks for visiting

Hello, when I lived in an area with blackspot, I used to spray with a combo of Mancozeb and Propriconazole, that seemed to take care of it the best both available on Amazon. Neem oil for aphids.. I think Espoma is good plant food, maybe add some compost in spring, and alfalfa tea.

Thank you! Cheers!

We in the states are envious of some of the varieties you have only in Europe, too!

@@GardenGlimpses-NorCal Very true. In Europe we have good choice roses from DA ( English) Meilland and Delbard ( French), Kordes and Tantau ( German) and many other rose growers. I have few US roses, Julia child, Arctic blue rose. May add twilight zone rose, soon. Happy gardening 🌱

I think some varieties , esp some Austins prefer your milder summers! Thanks for the kind words.

Thank you!

Thanks for the kind words

Thank you very much, some of the hard to get roses came from friends

In early spring, I will put a 2” layer of compost plus an organic fertlizer like plant-tone. In addition, alfalfa tea plus seaweed and miracle-gro. In late summer I will repeat the plant-tone. I might supple the liquid feed miracle-gro plus seaweed every month or two.

Purple flower is Limonium Perezi, aka Statice. Bloomes 365 days a year in a Mediterranean climate like mine. Thanks for the kind words.

Hello Roses Unlimited and Heirloom roses have a good online selection, some of the others I trade for with friends.

Hello it is just.a simple metal grid 4x4” squares. I bought it in a roll at Home Depot. I secure it to my wood fence with staples and nails.

Mine is in sun most of the day, I think it would be best in at least half sun

Thank you, I am in the Sacramento CA area, we are fortunate not to have blackspot here. When I lived in Texas, I found a combination of mancozeb and propriconazole sprayed every 2-3 weeks controlled BS well.

Thanks, I am 9B sunset 14

I use a loose potting soil and hormex #8 for rooting roses. Keep the soil on the dry side, they always used to rot for me until I did that.

@@GardenGlimpses-NorCal thank you so much. I always wondered why my cuttings are always rotting. I will try this and keep you posted.

Mine came from Roses Unlimited

Min came from Hortico, also K&M may carry it too

I think you should cut the rose to whatever height you like after a bloom flush, it will help regererate for rebloom

I would go ahead and prune between flushes , just make sure you leave a few leaflets. Some varieties tend toward long canes, don’t be afraid to prune short.

I try for about 4 ft, but in a long sunny season like mine it is not quite enough

I am for 4 ft apart, but space is limited. I wish I could give some of them even more room than that.

I might supple the liquid feed miracle-gro plus seaweed every month or two. When I lived in Texas, I found the combination of Propriconazole and Mancozeb effective as a fungicide

I think the combination of form and color is unique, so I do like it.
