Thank you, Ben! Great review as always.
Love the landscape video instead of it in portrait. Fabulous!
Thank you, Ben!Very important information! 💥🇬🇧🇺🇦
Your most welcome
Thanks for another awesome video. I’m currently growing Claire Austin and Earth Angel up obelisks. Crown Princess Margarita arrives in the spring. And, I’m growing Eden up a fence. All are in large containers and doing very well so far… 🤗 🙏🏽 😊
Thank you so much for this video it is indeed very helpful and informative
Love you. Very informative. Save me a lot of time and effort
Your most welcome happy to help
Thanks for all information
Happy to help
Thanks Ben , I just discovered your channel, live in texas , Just ordered based on your recommendations . Thank you. Can you please do a video on your best climbing roses.
I purchased 2 Roald Dahl rose standards last april started blooming in a month or so and , last night was freezing , blooms still intact on rose. What a marvelous company.
I’m happy to help and yes I sure can
Hi Ben, I have a Claire Austin growing up an obelisk. How do you tie it in to get the most flowers? Could you do a video of how to train a climbing rose up an obelisk? Thank you!
Yes I tie it in
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wow! Great video! Very informative! And I LOVE that you respond to your viewers and even reply to the replies. Thank you for the information :)
Thank you I’m glad of the interaction and happy to help
Amazing information;) Thank you❤️
Recently purchased Paul Scarlett Rose this video, brilliant, answered a lot of questions
I’m glad
Hi Ben!
I love to your vids,so much to learn about!
I really appreciate when you write the name of the roses, it makes it easier to remember them!Tks❤
I’m now also adding the full Latin name to the captions
Nice one Gardener Ben. Perhaps you could do a David Austen 'Worst Of' Collection, starting with the Strawberry Hill at No. 1.
Lol there’s some big changes to
My accountants coming in the new year so stay tuned 💚
Is it bad?
@@Lifegrowsonandon no just a change of direction
Thanks for the video Ben. Been listening to it as I prune . Did you do a video on pruning climbing roses? I need help with my generous Gardner climbing my pergola
Thanks a mil!
I love your videos! I got so inspired and I now have 8 David Austin roses…I went from 0 roses to 8😂 what are the David Austin climbers that you would recommend for part shade? So far I have three roses that are getting about 3hrs of sun (a bit of morning, midday, and just before sun down) do you think they’ll be ok ?
Rose types:
Crown princess margeta
James Galway
Olivia Austin rose
Love love love your new video! A lot of what you mentioned really resonated with me. Jam-packed with valuable tips and info...I feel I would have to listen to this video a few more times. By the way, your screen tone looks so soft it like you are filming in Southern Europe ! Lol
lol Just a beautiful spot of autumn afternoon sunshine hear in the newforest no filters I never use them 💚
I’m new to rose gardening and fear I’ve planted my climbing roses too close to my house. They have already woken up and are growing well, and I fear moving them will do lots of damage. Should I dig them up and relocate them before they get too big?
Hi Ben! Thank you so much for all the great help. My question is: with a climbing rose, if I train the laterals, will they in turn grow more laterals and blooms?
Yes, at the general the more stems that you bring into as close to a horizontal position as possible the more growth your plant will produce and so many more flowers
Thanks for the vid, Ben. Found it very very helpful. My "lady of shallot" climber was growing inside a obelisk. I don't think it was happy as it started getting powdery mildew due to its branches being crammed in and lacking air circulation :(
That can be an issue yes and is down to pruning and making sure that you’re still removing the growth in the centre of the plant and other canes are there in spiralled around your obelisk
@@the_gardenerben Good suggestion, thank you 👌
Ben, super informative. I watched this video as wanted to plant 2 climbers either side of patio windows in tubs. Cannot go into the ground unfortunately. Was hoping to plant Old Wollerton Hall roses, but concerned after watching your videos. Any other ideas? Space is roughly 3-4 ft wide and plenty of height up the house wall. South West facing.
Ben, have you ever worked with a Darlow’s Enigma Rose? I would love to have a more Gardener’s thoughts on pros and cons on it. I live in a zone 5a. The rose would be planted in the ground. Trying to decide on the north side on my house (which receives indirect sun for about 4-5 hours in the morning and more shade-ish the rest of the day. Foxgloves, comfrey, chamomile, strawberries love it there.
Any thoughts would be enormously appreciated. Thank you tons for even just reading this.
@@eyemsam2826 hi it’s not a rose I grow I’m afraid
@@the_gardenerben thank you. I appreciate the response. Have a lovely day.
Great info again.
I had no idea that concrete worked in that way!
Could I ask ,roses that are potted say for 2 to 3 years.
Can they be transplanted, or would I be better re investing and leaving the current selection potted!
They most certainly can at the correct time yes
@the_gardenerben thanks ! That's a beautiful looking home too btw.
Hi Ben! Thank you for all the hard work you put into educating us.
I'm trying to find a baby pink climber, 8ft+... preferably 10-12, that can handle our 100° + summers, and smashing downpours. Its going on a pergola, so it will have some shade in the afternoon. I'm currently looking at Wedgewood and James Gallway. I got told the JG will only flower at the top, leaving just stems and thorns at the bottom.... And that wedgewood has problems with bleaching out and/or very short vase life. What do you think is my best pick for this space?
Hi, and thank you for your comment. I’m glad that you enjoy the content created James Galway if you care to take a look at my personal review along with its sister Rose, the pilgrim one of the few that have the ability to flower ground to tip creating beautiful pillar displays, the Wedgewood rose is incredibly susceptible to some bleaching and to balling so if it is likely that you are going to have lots of heavy summer showers, this is probably a road for you to avoid and I think that James Galway would be a much better option for you although here in the UK we don’t experience temperature anywhere near that high
Hello, what would you recommend growing for an East facing house wall? Will be planted in a 2.4m wooden planter, and has 2m high wooden trellis to grow up (horizontal slats). Any help or recommendations would be welcome. Thank you.
Hi and thank you for your question. With regards to the aspect. Have you any idea how much direct sunlight the area gets per day and between what hours of the day that’s going to be crucial?
Is that your Tree Fern behind you?? It is magnificent!!
Thank you it’s my pride and joy I’ve just wrapped them both for the winter
Hi Ben. Another great video. Just finished assembling my 7ft garden arch. Amadeus on south side, Now to choose a 2nd for east facing side, Torn between a generous gardener or mary delany? Which would be ypur preference. Thanks
Mary Delany works well as it’s nearly thornless -I’ve reviewed both so please do take a watch
I’m looking to order Gertrude Jekyll for the spring. Someone told me it’s not a very good repeat bloomer and that I will be disappointed. I really want a small to medium pink climber that is super fragrant. I don’t think Generous Gardner is a strong enough pink for the situation. Do you think kiss me Kate is preferable to Gertrude? Would love your comment.
I think that the fragrance on GJ is unrivalled it has one large flush abs then a smattering of blooms From then on I’m not familiar with kiss me kate
Thanks for your speedy reply, Ben! I love your videos. Could you recommend a better repeat bloomer in pink that still has a lovely fragrance? Would also love if you did a whole video on your favourite climbers and their pros and cons. ❤
I want to plant a white one in my white garden it will run a cross a old fence in back it will get about 5 hours of sun which one would you recomand
Hello Ben, I'm in zone 6 southern illinois, USA. I am new to roses ,so I built an arbor in direct sun roughly 6'x7'6" I have 1 the pilgrim on the east and 1 teasing georgia on the west ,I ordered 1 Charlotte and 1 golden Celebration roses to put around the arbor ,could you please insight me on where I should plant my shrubs for the best blend and orientation .this is an arched arbor, I appreciate your knowledge and time .
These are all planted in the ground ,or will be once I figure out where they should go
Thanks for this video Ben, very useful🙂 what do you think of now retired David Austin climbing rose Shropshire Lad? And is it worth buying rozes grown from cuttings with own roots? Thank you x
It’s well worth growing yes if you see it buy it in my opinion. No it is not worth buying rooted cuttings. This is obviously heavily discouraged by David Austin as well.
Many thanks for your tutorial. Have you done a review on Claire Austin?
I most certainly have you can watch it hear or on my Instagram channel
@@the_gardenerben I will look it up. Thanks for responding. Have a lovely day.
@@mandydj3843 enjoy let me know if I can be of any help
@Ben Hamilton Anderson I've searched your videos and can't find mention of my DA climber "Bathsheba". I'm loving her and would very much appreciate your opinion on this rose. 🙂
Thank you for your comment. It was supposed to be reviewed by myself in 2022 but failed to flower at all. Is back on the list for June 2023,
Have you done a video about pruning climbing roses yet ?
They were done as live events in January. Is there any advice that I can give you if you’ve missed them?
@@the_gardenerben aghhh fitted I missed them. Am I correct in thinking new climbers (as in planted last year and this year) will need minimal pruning.
Wonder if there’s a way I can watch that live 🤔
@@gaynoroverton25 not a lot needed in the first year no
I'm looking for rose for my southern wall, sun is there almost all day long. Can you help me? :) I live in Poland, zone 6B
Hello, I wondered if a climibing rose could climb a (deciduous) tree ? I think I heard it is possible but what you said in this video seems to not go in the same way. Thanks in advance !
It can be done yes but you must chose carefully or one could easily take over the other
@@the_gardenerben Thanks! Did you happen to make a video on that subject ?
@@mypreciousgarden not specifically no
I’ve got a laylandii hedge which is about 15 feet tall and 50 ft of the boundary of my garden. I hate it but can’t cut it down. Can I grow a rose up and along it? It gets about 4-6 hours of sun but only in the height of summer
It’s not really possible no the rose will ether be swamped or trimmed if the hedge is maintained
I have a Wollerton Old Hall that I was planning to train around an obelisk. Will this be alright or is she too big for such a small structure?
Hey as long as you spiral it around the obelisk, bringing the stems as close to horizontal as possible it will be fine you’ll need at least an 8 foot one
Hi Ben is there any benefit in planting a Poet’s Wife inside an Obelisk if not tying in? Also would it do well in a pot of around 45-50cm wide? Thanks 🙏
You could certainly try it with an obelisk. Yes, as I mention in my full personal review which is available to watch here it is a large informal floppy shrub not helped particularly by the size of the balloons which are massive. It can run 5 to 6 feet so just make sure that pot is big enough I will look out for those thorns she’s very spiky
@@the_gardenerben Thans ever so much for your help
Очень мудрые советы про стену и асфальт, самому такое не прийдет в голову.
regarding the pot size for climber, do mean inch or cm?
In this particular video, the measurements mentioned are in inches, not in centimetres so if you’re looking to grow a climber Apple wall that’s going to reach between 10 and 12 feet you’re going to need a container that’s at least 120 cm or 48 inches in diameter
What do you think of the climber spirit of freedom? 😯
And the Shropshire Lad as well please Ben. Thank you 😊
Ben - Not a climber I know but just wondered if you had ever grown Rambling Rosie? I have one planted in the ground - it is supposed to repeat flower but mine only seems to produce one flush of flowers - any ideas? It's fed and watered regularly. Thanks.
Hi I have had rambling rose it’s not officially an Austin it was bred by Horner in 2005 I found it weak and that it didn’t really perform very well, so when we left our last house five years ago I left behind
Saw the thumbnail and wondered why Prince Harry was talking about roses 😁
lol I’m taking that as a win for today 💚
