Whatever the reason, they look good and they're an additional resource for winemaking. This year I brewed my first rose petal wine, popped the first bottle open just the other day, after only 3 months and it's already amazing!! Love it so much I'm making a rose petal mead next weekend!
That sounds amazing! Can i please get your recipe or a link?
Greetings from Arizona! We are a backyard grower and have been for many years. we are beginning to learn how to make wine in the upcoming years with our fruit production increasing each year. thanks for all of your tips and tricks. You've got your newest subscriber here!
we have ornamental roses in our yard we are practicing propagation with and plan to add them in areas just for aesthetics. but interesting theories about the hx of roses in the vineyard. Cheers 🍷
Love seeing these new vids Rick, it amps me up to go do some much needed work in the wine room before my next harvest.
We removed all the roses form our property when we planted a vineyard. One of our challenges is from Japanese beetles, and the roses were attracting them. We put in hydrangeas instead, which unfortunately the deer love. Now, we've got lavender growing at the ends of our rows and it looks great.
The pests would attack the Roses before they moved on to the Vineyard. That gave the vintners time to react and counter potential damage to the crop. Source? Trust me bro.
Douro valley and other portuguese ancient regions says that’s the reason
I place a flower pot of red roses at each end of my rows. I never thought of it as a practical reason, I just wanted to brighten up the vineyard with some color. Although it does offer some early indication when I need to water the flowers and vines.
Possibly to try to get a different flavor from the grapes. Much like cross pollinating peppers will give different levels of heat and sometimes flavor. Rose hips are often used in tea's and are actually pretty flavorful.
I'm currently fermenting a batch of California Shiraz with an estimated potential ABV of 13.8%. After pressing I'd like to use oak chips in the bulk aging stage. What type of oak, level of toast, and overall amount of chips do you recommend? Thanks.
You talk about sulfating your grapes when you crush them. Could you go into detail. Including how much, and how long it takes the sulfates to disappear. Or disapate. I have been told 48 hours. Is that accurate?
Sulfates kill anything bad (wild yeast, bacteria, etc.) that can ruin your must and cause fermentation problems. It gives your must a clean start before fermentation. In regards to how much, it is debatable. Some people say to use 75 ppm, while others use 50 ppm. The problem with sulfates is that they are sold in different strengths, so you really need to read the package. Even Campden tablets have bee sold at different strengths. Most of the sulfates dissipate withing 24 hours, if you put a cloth over the top of the must. Some will stay bound. That is why you might not want to use sulfates if you will do malolactic fermentation or if you plant to turn your wine into vinegar. If you do not use enough sulfates and wait 24 hours, the wild yeasts might survive and you will be faced with premature fermentation from the wild yeasts. If you use too much and do not wait over 24 hours, your fermentation might not begin after pitching the yeast. You may need to wait longer and then pitch some new yeast. FYI, commercial yeast is made to be able to ferment even when there is a bit of bound sulfate in the must. But too much is too much and it might not ferment well.

Maybe roses were planted to attract pollinators?
I have heard that theory also but I'm not sure I buy it. Grape flowers are "perfect", meaning they have both male and female parts. They will self pollinate without the need for insects to help out.
Flowers are planted to attract insects that eat the bugs that eat grapes. They come to pollinate the flowers and eat the grape eating insects.
I think that is true for some wildflower cover crops but I haven't heard that theory for roses. The yellow flowers (mustard) that you see in most vineyards are toxic to soil nematodes that attack the grapevine roots but they would also hold beneficial insects assuming the vineyard isn't spraying for insects
Some woman thought it looked good and did it. Then another woman got jealous and made her husband and do the same. And so on and so on. Till now. Source? Studying womens activities

Aphids go for the roses first
Dude, you really ramble too much. I like your videos but you desperately need a script, and stick to it. You go off topic and ramble far too long. It makes you look like you don't know what you're talking about.
Thanks buddy. Yes you could answer this question in ten seconds but you wouldn't have a UA-cam channel in that case. I'm not sure if you have noticed but the algorithm favors watch time now which has basically cornered creators into making longer, more conversational videos to even show up on the search.
Didn't seem like you were rambling to me butt then again, I like learning- especially trivia
@@NUHERITAGE-THE-DALAI-RASTA Spoken like an idiot that misspells but and new...go figure.
Your videos are great! I love them. Andy (WSET 3)
I've learned a lot from you. You are personable and seem to really care about the wine making experiences of your viewers. If I wanta quick answer I Google my question. Your content is very helpful for developing my own processes for the new hobby of fermenting sugars.
