Roses for Hedges 

Right when I think I’m over buying roses I see your video and I’m like I need that one

My goodness.. i think lady of shallot is the loveliest of roses. Just beautiful!!!

I’m so fascinated by roses ! So RU-vid..knowingly brought your beautiful video into my attention. 😊 Just two weeks back I planted 14 roses of 3 colors in my home garden. Olga, your presentation is inspiring and very informative. Ty You’ve beautiful roses , Amazing!!

Olga, I like how the blooms and stems are upright on this beautiful shrub. I've seen Lady of Sholott in Florida (where I live) and the blooms are sort of bent over and facing the viewer instead of reaching for the sky. You have beautiful videos and there is so much inspiration! While my plants may be different (Zone 9b) I'm still inspired all of the time. Quick healing to your ankle and thank you for sharing your beautiful garden.

Prayers for complete healing on your ankle. Your dress is lovely. God bless you and yours.

Beautiful Roses... Thank you for sharing your pretty Roses... Get better soon...Olga!

Beautiful roses. Thanks for sharing your video

Lovely rosa lady of shallot, i have this in my garden. I have moved it a couple of times already as it's a very strong grower. I notice the you mentioned shade making the one on the right less vigorous. Well two thing's, but they amount to the same answer. The rose on the left has plenty of soil space whereas the rose on the right has steps and path which adds nothing to help it as worms etc in the soil won't be there as normal bacteria which both benefit the soil structure and fertility. So the rose next to you will struggle more because you also have very free draining sandy soil from moisture competition also. Without moving anything as they are quite established. You would need to give more regular humous amounts to it more than the one on the left. So say mulch it three slightly smaller amounts rather just two which would give a more of a trickle affect to the rose. It would also counterbalance any limyness coming from run off from the concrete leaching affecting the acid chemistry. I think you already know this point I shall alao point out anyway mulching especially lighter soils. Make sure it gets a good watering before you mulch. Of course later on as the rose next to you picks up as it gets it roots further out and down it will balance out. You might find reversal if the sun is 6 or less hour's it will end up growing taller than the other one. Of course I cannot give more help than this as I cannot observe on a daily basis for light and moisture affecting growth like you can of course. But I can only see what happens in my garden according to situation. Of course as I mentioned before my soil as a clay humous soil. Roses like clay soils generally. But you get shrinkage and capping in dry weather. So new roses need special care for the first two year's as it's harder for fibrous roots initally to get going. But once I get to my third year my thicker roots have gone deeper. So I then only mulch once and feed twice. Of course lighter soils nutrients gets washed away so adding humous which I know you do. Maybe just increase the times of mulching which in turn will help the moister retention where the rose needs it and worms of course.

I have Queen Elizabeth as a hedge on my Eastern border. They are struggling, but will come eventually. Glad that you're not badly injured.

Very helpful. Thank you! We have a couple of Rugosa roses and they are huge. Luckily, we did provide them with enough room to grow as big as they want.

I love that rose Lady of Shallot! I’m getting one next Jan!👍❤️

I just realized you are missing a beautiful white bench in your garden. In a such beautiful garden as yours, a bench is a must.

Time for autumn garden beds...😅 Enjoying the weather

I have put 5 LoA as hedge this time after the inspiration from you. They have buds now waiting for the blooms. Wish you a speedy recovery. Tc

This was very helpful, thank you

I feel so bad when LC told me about you angle. Love your lady of shallot. Take care Gods Blessings. 💗

Dear Olga, I wish you healing well! Thanks again for the helpful advices. Lady of Shallot has a very beautiful flower color. She is magical! And yes, Rosa Rugosa has beautiful leaves of old roses.

I love your garden💕💕🌷🌷

Beautiful rose love it ❤ thank u for sharing god bless

I love your videos! You are delightful!

Lovely I'm plotting a hedge myself in Dublin Ire.

Omg that lady of shallot is putting a massiv show.

Thank you for addressing this topic. I bought three Lady of Shalott bushes earlier this year. I was going to plant them in a triangle in my front yard. When I saw how large your two LOS are together I am concerned about balance and scope in my small garden. How much space do I need to fit LOS in a group pf 2 or 3? I am in zone 10A where roses tend to grow larger.

Hi Olga, love your rose garden! Do you recommend Silar Marner for rose hedge? Thankyou

What are the dimensions of the bed where the lady of shallots are planted?

I am a new rose gardener (and to gardening in general). In my front yard, I was planning on planting a hedge of Bonica, bookended with Hyde Hall, with an arbor/gate of Generous Gardener. I was planning on doing this in stages. Year one: Arbor + Generous Gardener, Year two: Bonica hedge, Year three or four: Hyde Hall. Do you have any suggestions about spacing? I know Hyde Hall is bigger, but I plan on using them to frame the hedge so to speak - just one on each end of the hedge.
