thank you for your clearly explanation
are these F1 hybrid seeds
What a super tutorial! Many of us now grow the new shrub roses and not much is out there regarding their pruning. It was especially helpful that you explained how to be selective about which, where and how to cut.
Excellent tutorial. You explained and showed everything so well. Thank you!
good
My goodness. Your explanation is fantastic. Thank you
Would i use a multi-purpose compost with the perlite or should it be a seed sowing compost with the perlite?
My rose shrub is prob 10ft tall and only has flowers on the top. The bush is mostly long thick canes around an inch or more in diameter with no flowers on them. What can or should i do this this plant? It was like this when I moved into the house.
I would cut out all the thick, old stems right down to the base; leave some of the thinner, younger stems in place. This should help to rejuventate the plant (encourage more new shoots from low down). Thankfully roses are very forgiving. This advice is offered in good faith; I cannot accept responsibility for any damage to the plant or the death of the plant as a result of my advice. Regards David
I have a couple of salvia gregiis and was looking for guidance. Thank you!
'Promo SM'
thank you very clear and useful information
Thanks for sharing your video. Nice work. New subscriber.
I wish we could see the buds close up? It would help to identify them & the direction? Thanks for explaining why the middle of the bush needs to breathe. 🌹🌹🌹🌹
I have rescued a dozen self sown foxgloves will they flower 2024?
Thank you, that was the easiest, most concise information I've found 👍
'Far from fragrant' 😂😂 What a wonderfully vivid picture of Holkham you've drawn.
Great advice, thank you!
😎 *Promo SM*
Can pruned stems be replanted?
Yes! Check out Jason from Fraser Valley Rose Farm for more info. Depending on the time of year, there are a few different methods of growing new rose plants from cuttings.
beautiful flowers kindness in your hearts your kind
god bless you more
Very helpful, thanks. What type of pruning shears are you using?
I love these type of videos but wish they would tell us what time of yr they are doing it .
I might do this project with kids at an event. How often should it be watered and how long until it goes in the ground? Or a large pot?
Love Darcy bussell! One of my absolute favourite roses
Beautiful pot and arrangement-love the colors too. You call this a winter arrangement, will it survive in 20-35 degrees or will it need to move inside? Thanks.
So... I tried for the first time decorating a winter container this year. I put a lot of mixed annuals and perennials tightly together and made a pretty statement. But I'm kind of worrying about how long the look will last and when I should consider moving some of the perennials out to a separate spot in the garden. Any suggestions?
Lovely
We have had great sucess with this variety this year, our plants are now ready to be planted in the garden and we're looking forward to them flowering in the spring. Thanks for sharing your tips.
A wonderful presentation from David. Will follow his advice! Many thanks - I love foxgloves.
Very useful video, thak you! :)
My hotlines salvia is blooming like crazy right now. I pruned it in the fall. Do I need to prune it again this spring? I'm in 9b and it's getting very large. Thanks!
Yes always best to prune each year in winter preferably as it sends more growth hormones to the stems that have been cut and will come back vigorously the next year !
Thank you very much for the clear and concise instructions. Very helpful indeed.
So foxglove needs to stay inside until the following spring, but can then be transferred outdoors?
Beautifully done!
Tout simplement merveilleux !! J'ai bien adoré cette combinaison des couleurs :)
Merci beaucoup
Great tutorial, I didn’t know about having to cut those snags off and I found your explanation about cutting out weaker stems and those pointing in towards the shrub very helpful, thanks
Thanks Julie D
Very useful, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
👋👋👋
Very useful advice which I have followed for my salvias. Thank you
Great video. Does the pot need a sunny spot for this mix of plants?
best in sun for at least half the day!
👍
Happy new year! Hope you have a great growing season!
Thanks Erica - you too
Thanks - just looking at creating a winter wonderland nature walk (cawstongreenway.wordpress.com) and this video is very useful
Great video. Thanks David. Same technique for Coriander?
Your garden always looks so lovely. :)
Excellent video, well structured & presented. Liked & subscribed!
great ordered perlite from my local garden centre which is delivering so I can still isolate
very interesting I always wondered what the difference was between perlite & vermitulite Great
Really useful information. Pity I didn't see this know before self isolating.
