The Roses Are Blooming (Plus A Surprise Visitor) 

Beautiful Roses 😍❤️ OMG the snake! In awe of your calm and acceptance of all the garden creatures🙌🏻😊

Thanks for the glimpse into all your lovely blooming David Austin roses.I appreciate the tip on black garden snake as well. Happy gardening.

Love the rose tour! Agree 100% that people need to leave the pronunciation correction alone- it is just insulting (my opinion there). -And thank you so very much for the respect you showed the beautiful black rat snake. I am a big supporter of respecting our native wildlife and love that you are also💞

Wollerton old hall is my favorite elegant climber

Gorgeous tour! I love your “grace in gardening” phrase 😂😂 I can’t wait for the wedding 💒 ❤

Ms Jenny is a soldier not afraid of that snake as a grown man snakes still scare me! TY for allowing us in your garden!

I literally have added six roses to my garden in the last six months because of Jenny's rose tours. 🥰🌹 Three floribunda and three hybrid teas. Thanks for the encouragement and the inspiration Jenny!!

That’s for your appreciation of Blackie’s role in your garden. You have a healthy ecosystem and as gardens we should all strive to improve our environment and welcome nature. Yesterday we had a Cooper’s hawk in our mature blue spruce. She didn’t bother the chickadees at all. They seemed to know she wasn’t hunting. Your roses are gorgeous. Wish I lived in a warmer zone but I loved seeing yours.

‘Go getcha some breakfast’…😳 You are the best, Jenny. Just love your attitude and sense of humor re: all things gardening. Thank you for sharing your beautiful gardens with us; the roses are stunning!

Momma Jenny ❤ I love the way you cherish your children . The gardens are beautiful .

Love the video! The little lizard at the beginning and Blackie toward the middle of the tour- you’ll soon be the next Steve Irwin of Gardening ❤

What a GREAT tour! When asked by my daughter what I want for Mother's Day, I told her an At Last rose & a nice big urn to plant it in. I still want another Zepherine Droughin (Excuse my spelling. My fibromyalgia is raging!); but your Generous Gardener keeps calling my name, too! You've definitely inspired me, Jenny! I just wish I was 10 or 20 years younger and able to "play in the dirt/soil" all I want to & any time I want to! However, I do feel fortunate to be able to do the things the good Lord has blessed me to do! Have a great week everyone!

Love the rose tour!! Going to have to add a few more to my garden! I know snakes are beneficial but I'll be running and screaming when I see them! The views of the backyard are stunning with the white flowers edging the beds!

I'm a David Austin Rose fan since they were first introduced. I have a Graham Thomas yellow climbing rose that is more than twenty five years old and he is still a stunner! Yes, Gertrude Jekyll is my favorite scented rose. I use her as a climber and she too has been in my garden since she was introduced. I have two of her and two of Olivia Austin. Olivia is top of line, hands down, my most healthy disease resistant rose and both of them give me continues and hundred of blooms! I live in southern PA near the DE border and the Japanese beetles are horrible! I appreciate the recommendation on the drench product. I do use the milk spore but I still get bombarded with beetles.

Love the tour! I’ve been down for the count this past week with COVID so have been unable to get out into my garden. So wonderful to share in yours. I purchased 6 David Austin’s last fall and planted them in March. Gertrude Jeckyl just started blooming, so sad that I can’t smell her. All the bushes are still very small, just a peak at what’s to come. I’ve adopted your sayings “there’s grace in gardening” and “patience” and use them pretty much daily. Thank you Jenny, you are a blessing.

The roses are so beautiful! So many of your plants look beautiful now. When we lived outside Toledo, Ohio, we had three beautiful crabapple trees. They would be in full gorgeous bloom the week prior to prom. For a number of years, a storm would come through on Thursday before prom on Saturday. Few blooms would be left on the trees. So much for pretty prom photos, right. Senior year the crabapple trees were loaded with blooms the week before prom. My daughter got the idea to put on her dress, and we took so many pictures in her pretty dress in front of those beautiful trees. Was her hair all fixed up? No, and it did not matter. Those are still some of my favorite photos. Of course, a storm came through the next night and wiped out the blooms on the trees. I'm sure your garden spaces will look wonderful no matter what. It's so beautiful now!

You never fail to inform and entertain. Thank you so much🥰

Wow!!! What a beautiful snake! 🐍 I have two in my gardens but neither that big. We had them that big back in Arkansas at our old cabin, though! Thank you for presenting it with such calm and adoration! You set a great example there! BTW the irony is not lost on me... Hundreds of amazing roses around and I call the snake beautiful. What can I say, me being a guy, I guess... 🤔 Brenna was just amazing around it, too!

All your roses look beautiful, i love the Gertrude Jekyll one, it's so pretty

You have huge land to plant more beautiful roses!

Oh, one of my favorite tours!

Wow Jenny! Your backyard is inspiring. Everything is looking vibrant, lush, healthy and happy! We have a May anniversary, so I strive every year to have our best Spring look peak then. Some years have been really wonderful. Truthfully I have never once achieved a year when trees, shrubs, perennials, annuals and lawn all look their best simultaneously. Today's video shows me it is possible! Thank you 🥰

Your yard looks very lush, really lovely.

David Austin's "Graham Thomas" does beautifully for me in some 5b.

Beautiful roses! Wish I had enough sun for them and less deer. They even eat my drift roses. That snake….nope rope….nope nope nope. I would have ran off screaming on camera or not 😂

WOW! Your roses are beautiful! Thank you for the tour! Thanks so much for giving us the details of each rose.

I just love your videos! And I'm so sorry about your flooding the other day, my heart was so sad along with you. But what an amazing team you have to help you get things up and running again. I have many roses, and I have learned how to take care of them and adore them so much! I always remember when I get impatient with my growing plants, they SLEEP, CREEP AND THEN LEAP! Your property is so gorgeous!

I grew up in Southwest Georgia and I know that there were snakes everywhere there. But if I had seen the one that you had there in front of you EMS would have to be cold for me because I would have had a heart attack and just dropped right there. I don’t like snakes. I don’t care what kind they are but I do love your roses they’re just awesome.

Thank you, Jenny for the rose tour! Your roses are absolutely beautiful! I planted Crown Princess Margereta in my garden to climb up my shed on March 31, 2024. What a vigorous rose! She is already almost tall enough to start training up the trellis. I'm excited and terrified all at the same time! I'm excited to watch her grow and bloom and terrified I will screw it up! I think the easiest rose to start with is a Drift Rose. I now have 25 drift roses in my gardens and they are such an easy going rose. Basically, plant them, fertilize once a year, stand back and watch it go! Peach Drift is gorgeous and the most fragrant of the different varieties. Drift roses are self-cleaning so need no deadheading, good in the landscape or in containers. I don't even really need to prune them. I have become rose obsessed in the last few years and have a total of 39 roses!

I have the poets wife she’s been in the ground for about three years, so far she’s not doing that well BUT it’s totally my fault . Hopefully this year will be the year that she shines. I fertilome tree drenches her yesterday and if I can find my rose tone she will be getting that shortly. I ordered rose tone in March and it somehow grew legs and walked away hiding itself very throughly. 🤣💐💚🙃 My husband has a tendency to move things around and forgets where he puts them 🤣💐💚🙃

Beautiful!!! Maybe the couple getting married could take previous pictures with the Roses

we need some smell-o-vision ... i bet those roses all smell heavenly. gorgeous!! ( ;

Love the rose vlog - Blackie looks bumpy, meaning he has been well fed! Great job Blackie, be hungry.

Lookin' good, my friend!💞

The video I needed with my morning coffee on this cold Utah morning. We had a frost and snow flurries on our trip to school. Much love from Utah 🌸 Happy growing season, everyone.

Your property is going to be a gorgeous wedding venue! Everything is looking amazing!

Hi Jenny. I must say that everything is coming up 🌹🌹🌹 for you. Happy gardening, everyone, from Trinidad 🇹🇹 ❤

My climber suggestion is Madame Alfred Carriere. She is a beautiful pale pink, fading to white, fragrant, very floriferous (and reliably repeat flowering), very, very vigorous and not very thorny. She is by far the best performing climber in my zone 9 garden, which includes about 40 climbing roses. Also, widely available.

I commend you on how calm you were around the snake! They scare me so much, even sticks who look like a snake….. haha. Beautiful Roses, Jenny

I am starting this year adding roses to my garden, so far I have planted 3 in the ground and 2 are in pots. Wish me luck for the 3 in the ground. Happy gardening everyone.😊

Thank you I love roses too hope your roses keep blooming till wedding. Just wanted to let you know if you hard of the yellow bird tree look it up the yellow huge blooms aremagnificent I have two bought for our granddaughter Lily my middle sons first child born dec 12th she is 5 months and Taylor and Madison my other 2 granddaughter from son Andrew and matthew

My husband I'd the same as your daughter about "his roses" he wanted them but I take care of them. And they are my most high maintance plant, they get black spot every year except last year when I was on top of my spraying them.

DA Roses look amazing. Mine did great this year as well. The rain really weighed them down. Always a great pleasure to see your garden.

I was brave and kept my eyes open when blackie made his debut! I don’t do snakes!! A garter snake sends me running back in the house. I love that he keeps your garden rodent free and for that I would tolerate sharing my space (possibly 😬). The roses are just lovely. My old house I had a rose garden, ended up with a love/hate relationship due to all the deadheading. When I moved 4yrs ago I decided no more roses well changed my mind, put in 5 last year and ordered 2 DA this year. They sent me the wrong one, so they said keep it and sent me the correct one. All have new growth, can’t wait to see if they bloom later this year. You definitely should put one up on the chicken coup. Teasing Georgia is a favorite, James Galway or lady of shallot would be my picks. It’s so hard to choose!

As I watched your snake bravery, I could imagine myself being calm, cool, and collected…almost. I don’t have the sun for roses, so I’ll enjoy yours:)

Absolutely beautiful rose your 🌹 Not the kind of visitor I’d like to see in my garden 😅 🐍

Let’s just say you have talked me into getting a rose! 😊❤ Thanks Jenny.

Beautiful!

I love that Generous Gardener rose in the arch, it so stunning!

I have two David Austin climbing roses. They are Bathsheba and Lady of Shallot. They are both beautiful roses and I would recommend either one if the are in the color you want.

I have been a rose gardener for almost 20 years. I have 15 rugosa roses, 3 shrub roses, 4 floribundas, 2 climbers, a hybrid tea, a drift rose and 2 oso easy roses. I ordered my first David Austin this year and had a very unfortunate experience. The rose came with one of it's 3 roots broken . I followed their directions and the rose continued to die back from 10 to 2 barely healthy canes...ultimately, it died. After many emails to DA, they finally refunded me. I was so disappointed. I would have love add Jude the Obscure, Desdemona, Septre de Isle and Queen of Sweden to my garden...So sad. Looking forward to trying again next year!

Jenny, The At Last peach-colored rose looks so good in the container w/ the peach-colored metal flower art on the wall--they really set each other off! ❤

Thank you Jenny, your roses are beautiful! 💐💚🙃

Love the wild critters today as well as the look of summer. Here in N. Utah we're digging out from under about 6 in. of snow. Yes, we need the water, but enough with the snow!

Jelous of all the roses you can grow signed every Zone 2/3 Canadian The only rose hardy enough to consistantly come back for me is Morden Blush

I have 2 Princess Annes on standard that I also got last year. I can attest to them blooming like crazy last year. I was amazed!

I used to dislike roses very much until o found David Austin roses, oh my they bloom nonstop and they always look good

The roses and everything in the back yard look amazing!

Gorgeous tour, the gardens are looking fabulous!

Thank you for putting plant info up on screen!❤❤

My hats off to you and that snake. Oh! No, no, no. The garden looks beautiful. Ready for the wedding.

Your roses are breathtaking Jenny

Adorable bird house behind your right shoulder, Jenny 🐦

Jenny, thank you so much for the rose tour, loved all of them. I'm glad you waited to see those 2 new ones take hold this year. They're great. Have a good day, Jenny.

Awesome display of your roses.

Love princess margarita for a climber! I have 2 and they're doing so well!!! Ones even in partial shade and performing just as well as the other.

Jenny, Lucky for Blackie Brynna didn't mistake him for a stick! 😉😆

Such a beautiful display of roses. Everything is looking good.

Beautiful roses! Always love your videos learn so much from you. Jenny my local nursery has David Austin roses I’m finally made the decision to get one. I am so intimidated by roses but you have helped me decide to give one a try. I will be going back and watching all your other videos on roses. My husband knows I’ve been thinking about trying one so he offered to get it for me for Mother’s Day . We just ordered a large Obelisk and I already have beautiful large pot for rose. Garden center has a beautiful Claire Austin climbing rose I have chosen for my first rose. So many beautiful roses hard to decide which one I wanted. Wish me luck🤞

Your roses are so beautiful! I really tried to grow roses, but the deer only saw a salad bar😂😂❤

Hi Jenny🌺 . Your roses look stunning so beautiful and you can add to them the beauty double delight rose it has an amazing colors and it smells delicious . Have a wonderful day .🌺🌻🌺

Beautiful roses! Love it!

I love Rose's and yours are stunning! Thank you Jenny for this great video!

The poets wife is my favorite. I have a 4 year old Bathsheba DA climbing rose but the color is so faded. I have yet to see that vibrant apricot color shown on the website. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Love your garden and all the variety of roses where you have strategically placed them.

I know i can grow roses!

Jenny, I've been wanting to get one of David Austin's Zephirine Drouhin climbing roses--such a stunner! 😘 As an added bonus to its beauty, it's THORNLESS! ❤❤❤😃

All your roses look spectacular! You mentioned milky spores on your yard to combat the Japanese beetles. Do you mind to talk about that in one of your videos? I'd love to be rid of those pests!

I ordered a DA Generous Gardener after seeing it in your video last year. Planted it and it's doing great! Ordered another for the other side of the trellis this year and it's getting ready to bloom. Also have a Lady of Shalot that I ordered with my Generous Gardener last year. Planted it on a huge terracota pot, didn't like it. Replanted it on the soil and it's doing amazing. Thank you for the inspiration.

I have a favorite climbing rose that is notaDavid Austin. It is called sally Holmes. They used to have it at a local nursery and it was gorgeous -lots and lots of blooms and the first time I saw it from a distance I thought it was a 9 foot tall hydrangea. The blooms cluster and look Ike a huge mop head hydrangea the color us a buttery,creamy white I have planted three of them and each at a different house and all have done well the first year and then I moved. I begin to think of it as the curse rose because everytime I finally planted one I ended up having to move! But I still love it.

My favorite garden tour 🌹❤️🤗

My dad was so afraid of snakes that he used to make my mom walk the back yard before he would mow the grass. In his defense though, I remember my mom killing her fair share of snakes 😂😂😂. She always made sure to have her garden hoe with her. If they were too large (more than 4 feet), my neighbor’s husband would come out to help.

gorgeous array!

I’ll pass on the snake and keep my cats for hunting mice and snakes. 😋 The garden and the roses look fantastic. Thanks for the milky spore tip for Japanese beetles - I need to do that this summer.

The gardens look beautiful 🥰

Another awesome video! Thank you!!

You're not alone, I don't like the Myrrh either. I actually think it stinks. We do have several DA roses with that fragrance but only because of the gorgeous flowers on them.

Wow you should add them to your retail line of plants

Everything is looking amazing!

I love roses and I have lots of them, especially the DA roses

Love your roses! Beautiful!

Love your sweet dog!!!

They are so pretty

Your rose shrubs are gorgeous!

I'm not good with roses. I wound up buy 2 of the roses from your site. Fingers crossed 🤞. Thank you!! Your roses are awesome.

New Dawn is a quite lovely

Lovely tour Jenny, your roses are looking fabulous. Suggestion - we have three David Austin climbers, the Lady of the Lake (rambling rose), a Claire Austin and a Gertrude Jekyll. The Lady of the Lake takes time to establish, so is a slow starter, but if you have the patience to get to year three then has lots of blooms and a light fruity scent. Best wishes from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Jenny, Love your videos!!! The rose tour was inspiring and educational!!! Since you have spoken about Davis Austin recently, as I am a newer subscriber, you have again, inspired me to perhaps try one!! God bless you and thank you ❤

Julia Child is my favorite rose, but in my area, they are all standards. I want a bush rose version of it. I bought one a few years ago. Its third season was killed during the Arctic frost we got in 2022-2023. The rose was growing from the ground up, which I read is that a rose growing from the bottom isn't the original rose.

Hi Jenny, I purchased multiple roses from David Austin. Last year I had Olivia Rose Austin and Queen of Sweden. The smelled so wonderful. I was in love. They just started to bloom. Are in the same location but the smell is so mild now. Last year the first bloom was strong. Any ideas what may be the issue? Thanks for your input!
