  • Producing huge blooms sometimes 5 inches across, I like Princess Alexandra of Kent so much I have it as a full standard and as a bush, part of David Austin’s best for fragrance and best for Heath range it’s a really good allrounder, if the weather holds out rain is not this roses friend, so if wind or rain is due when it’s in bloom my advise is to pick them and bring the blooms into the house or you may just loose more than the odd flower

    I'm building a memorial section in my garden with beautiful stone angel statues. Think this would compliment my vision beautifully as a background climbing up a trellis with one either side. It's a beauty.

      This is a fabulous rose, but he’s not a climber. This is a fairly large shrub a climbing rose, which would give you a similar look would either be James Galway or Gertrude Jekyll

    So glad I watched this again! Just received her, potted (2 quart) directly from DA - and the card that comes attached to all of their roses says that her size is just 2&1/2 X 3&1/2 (high). SO…i was going to put her in a pot - which would be my very first experience with a rose in a pot. But it sounds as though she gets much bigger than that. Hmmm….

      @@the_gardenerben Thank you for asking. No. The color and stem seem alright. It's just the inner petals are tight together and the outer petals are spread out and overextends. asically, the overall shape is not attractive. I see in your video that the petals do overextend vs a cupped rose. Well, this was one photo at a particular time and maybe I have to see it in person and hope it looks better.

  • @gideonros2705
    @gideonros2705 Місяць тому

    What does 'Best for flowering' mean in your experience of DA roses? Do they flower continuously, or is it that they flower abundantly. I'm looking for roses that flower in August. I'm in Central Europe, Slovenia. Our summers have become scorching hot. Perhaps that is the reason my roses do not flower well with their second flush. Would love to see a video where you give suggestions on how to encourage second flowering in roses.

      @@gideonros2705 no plant will flower constantly every variety will have to take small breaks, if your summers are getting hotter and you are receiving small amounts of later flushes it will most likely be due to lack of water, focus on deep mulching and deep focused watering

    how does this one compare with Young Lycidas for growing in a pot? I am new to rose planting - I have just bought Gertrude Jekyll, Gabriel Oak and Lady of Shallot - I like bright colours and strong fragrances. Which other one would be good? I already have a deep maroon one (old fragrance, unknown name with a strong old rose fragrance) and a yellow one (also unknown name) in the garden. No more space as the garden is small. Thanks

    I have a space that is 3 feet wide and 10 feet long and was considering using PAOK as a hedge of 5 in this spot. My only concern it isn’t as deeply cupped as I like once it’s fully opened. Is there anything else you’d suggest instead for a more cupped rose or should I just go for PAOK?

    • @the_gardenerben

      Olivia Rose Austin makes a very nice informal hedge and is deeply cupped that might be a better alternative. It’s much more free flowering as well.
