- This rose is a true stunner in my garden. I am growing The Generous Gardener rose for 7 years already and know this shrub intimately.

The feet are bare because they are growing straight up. This would be mitigated by having them crossing at 45 degrees.
ty Olga, beautiful rose...I bought two and they are just blooming now! I was concerned to see some people mentioning their Generous Gardeners' turn more white over time and lose their pink color, I hope that's not the case...I really wanted roses with some color to contrast the white trim of house...and pink is so beautiful classic color, ty!
Thanks so much for sharing. This has encouraged me to plant this variety in my garden this fall.
Good luck! Growing roses is a rewarding experience!
Yes thank you so much!!! My David Austin Generous Gardner arrives today and I am so excited to get started. Thank you for the tips and I have subscribed for more good info, as I am a newbie gardener :)
Very well spoken..show and touch and dig ,manure and much..
Describing it so well,the particular bush.
Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I will get one for sure now that I see your gorgeous Generous Gardener rose . Thank you ❤
It is nice to see such love for roses!
Beautiful person and beautiful roses!
The Fragrance of The Generous Gardiner is the BEST I have found. Recent trip to Althrope (Diana's Birthplace) UK has convinced me.
PS. If you have a pathway lined with David Austin "Desdemona" , leading to an arch of GG; your senses will be filled.
... здравствуйте Ольга! Ваша розочка красотка, ваш сад восхищает! Спасибо, что делитесь опытом!
How beautiful! I have on Generous Gardener. This year will be it's second year in MN zone 4. It's pretty cold here but I cannot wait until it turns as gorgeous and as full as yours.
Don't we need patience in our gardens, right? All the best in growing your roses in zone 4!
Dear Olga, I enjoy your very good explanation of this rose, I am planning to have in my garden aswell. Your words show your love for roses well. The Generous Gardener is stunning in your garden. All the best from Austria... I wonder how the rose will behave in our climate.
Hi there, thank you for your message! GG is hardy to zone 4 and should be good in Austrian climate. I garden in zone 6/7 and my GG loves it here. Happy gardening!
You are the sweetest lady on youtube! I hope your family is safe and well.
You are funny, but that you. Yes, my family is safe, I talk to them every day.
So Lovely! Great job taking care of this climber.
Thank you, looking forward to its blooms in 2 months already
Смотрю и радуюсь' приятно не только ощущать 'но и смотреть за Вашу гордсть и достижения. Чудо. Цвет нежнейший и запах.
Oh, thank you so much, I am glad that my videos bring you joy!
I've been wanting to plant one of these in my yard.
Please do, these climbers are long living shrubs and will become bigger and better every year.
Thank you for your video. I been looking for a climbing flower for my patio. I think this is it!
Glad it was helpful! Enjoy your future Generous Gardener!
I just get my today thank you for you videos
That is so gorgeous! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you! 😊
It's a beautiful rose... I have just purchased two for my pergola along with Old Wollerton Hall. I can't wait until they both grow to be as lovely as yours. Thank you for the video...
Your roses will be wonderful!
Yes your Generous Gardener look awesome.
Thank you, yes, that is a gorgeous climber.
Hello, I am glad to have found your channel. I notice that my new generous gardener blooms barely last more than 3 days is that your experience. Now i am a bit sad you confirmed my fears ;I still love it though.
Yes, the generous gardener has gorgeous blooms, but not long lasting ones. Still I love it!
Great. You explained it so well.I have this too in my garden. I love it.
Happy gardening!
Amazing garden, just fall in love with your roses. I'm looking forward to planting some David Austin roses in my backyard in TN.
Thanks for sharing how to take core this beautiful rose.
My pleasure 😊
Excellent review, With all the details! Thank you
Wow, so so beautiful!!
It really is! Happy gardening!
Beautiful rose
Thank you! I love her too!
True, you have marvellous roses, and you are lucky living in zone 7! My zone 6, but actually 5… so it’s not easy to keep my DA roses healthy. Thank you for your video.
You are welcome. You need to do all sorts of protections for your roses, I know. Happy gardening!
I have this rose - it's wonderfully vigorous and masses of flowers
Even birds love your roses😄
Soooooooooooo beautiful!
I know, I am waiting for those blooms!
Omg how beautiful
That is a total beauty! The only thing is that GG drops flowers too fast.
Yes beautiful!
Hello! Beautiful video! I planted the Generous Gardener on either side of our arch way at the beginning of the spring.. but now worried we may have some very large thick suckers with no blooms growing -almost over the top of a 9 foot arch already! Do you have a trick to figuring this out think I should cut it out - is it safe to cut out now?
I didn’t know I needed to watch this video. My GG is about 3 months old. I’d never considered how bare the base would be. I’m growing it up the front of my house so the smell comes in my bedroom window. I’ve got desdemona in the front corner that will match nicely. I might have to get another or move it to hide the bare base.
Your Generous gardener will have some feet coverage for 2-3 years and then it will become bare at the bottom. Unless you trim it extensively, but why to fight this climber? Hope it helps!
Fantastic
Thanks
Beautiful! Just beautiful!
Thank you so much! I am trimming that beauty right now! Will show you soon!
@@OlgaCarmody will wait for it, since I subscribed. Hello from Indonesia.. we have David Austin's too.. will search for Generous Gardener!
Got one flanking our front door and living room window. Just took it back go a framework.
Great! You will have all that great rose scent coming into the house through the window! And Generous Gardener has great scent…
@@OlgaCarmody The best - it smells like Rosewater and Turkish delight!
Very Beautiful😍❤❤❤
Thank you! 😊
Beautiful rose💕💕💕
Thank you, Maria, that is my darling rose indeed!
You looks Soo fresh as your Roses 🌷🌷🌷
Such a beautiful rose, mine is younger than yours and not so large, but for me the flowers are much too fragile. They fall apart so quickly and if there is any wind or rain the blooms are all destroyed.
Oh, yes, that is the only minus for that rose- fast loss of petals. Everything is there- beauty, disease resistance, strong growth, elegance.. Is there a perfect rose?
I have send this video so many times during past few months. This rose (gg) is not easily available in India but I am getting it. Thank you for sharing.
Hope you would be able to get this beautiful rose! It is a pity that blossoms are not very long lasting, but the character of this rose is outstanding!
Lovely
Beautiful roses😍😍😍
Thank you so much 😃 I like this rose too!
哇喔😯 花开的太漂亮了
谢谢你
Hi again olga..I visit this video a lot to learn more about this rose. Mine is being trained on a wire mesh on a wall in the UK. The laterals on my rose are more like main canes (third year in my garden). Your laterals look thinner and dangle down lovely. Mine are so thick and many lean forward and some are about 50 to 100 cm long! I did prune it in March and it still only has 2 main canes..but there are a mass of laterals. Is it normal to have such huge lateral growth? I'm hoping you do a video this year of how far back to take the laterals after the cluster has finished blooming . Thank u for your time olga x
It is surprisingly hard for the gardeners to figure out how to train the climbing rose. I will do a video after my GG finishes its first flush of blooms and will try to make it easy for everyone to understand. Thank you!
@Olga Carmody thank you olga. I understand the training sideways but none of my other climbing roses have laterals this size haha. They are massive! Much love to u x
I just planted mine finally! Zone 10b in a semi shady area.
Congratulations! My spring is still far away! Here is zone 6/7 we will be doing stuff only in the middle of April. Oh, well. But you got your rose! Enjoy!
oh, beautiful ~!!🥰🥰🥰
Thank you! 😊
Yours is so pink! I wanted to plant mine in full sun but read that the flowers would turn cream ):
My rose grows in part sun situation. First flush of blooms come pink and then they age to cream. All the blooms after that are pale and keep yellow center. Have fun with your garden!
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it!
Olga I have heard Lady of Shallot can be grown as a short climber. What do you think? Love the birdsong.
Yes, LofS can be grown as a climber, I have several videos dedicated to this dual feature of this rose.
I planted LoS last year. She was a bit spindly and i was concerned i had made a mistake. This year she has thrown up huge canes thicker than my thumb. Probably about 5ft tall at this point and no sign of stopping. Imho well worth a try!
Thank you for the wonderful video and information. Are you familiar with any David Austin climbers that would be good for full sun?
Oh, gosh, all roses love sun and will be the happiest in full sun, unless you garden in really hot climates. Right now, DA offers a good selection of climbers and all of them love sun. Good luck!
@@OlgaCarmody Wonderful! thank you! I live in an arid, high-desert area of the US, and I'm having such a hard time picking one so I thought I'd choose the most heat tolerant. I really need to buy more than one!
@@TRUFIVE50 You know what, you can call DA and talk to them, they run internet chat too, very good at responding. They will have a good list of proven heat loving roses. Do it, especially if you need to invest into more than one rose, this way you are sure of success...
@@OlgaCarmody That's a great idea! Thank you so much!
Hello Olga. I absolutely adore your garden and your beautiful videos with the lovely songbirds singing! I have some questions:we want to plant a climber to go around a 6 foot standard arch. The Generous Gardener is beautiful but I guess too big for a 6 foot arch? I called the David Austin customer service line & they recommended either Claire Austin or Strawberry Hill. I can’t find a garden center in New Jersey where I live that has Strawberry Hill. I could get Claire Austin but the only reviews I’ve seen of her are not very positive at all. I’m looking to purchase the roses in 3 gallon containers not bare root. First, do you have any experience with Claire Austin? What do you think of her? Secondly, what do you think of Strawberry Hill & do you know where I could purchase it? And finally, do you have any suggestions for roses for my arch? I’m in zone 7a & the roses would be in full sun for at least 6 hours per day. Thanks for any advice.
Wonderful

Beautiful roses. How do you manage Beetles in may ?
Those pesky beetles are not a big problem for my garden. Don’t know why, but am happy about it. The light standard treatment is cup of water with a drop of liquid soap. I walk in the garden and knock them in, soap ruins the tension of water surface and beetles drown. Products with neem oil are helpful. Happy gardening!
Very beautiful! I need one!
And it has very good disease resistance too!
What are feeding schedule and how do you control pests?
i love roses😍
Me too!
I read that generous gardener has few thorns? I’m looking for a pink cupped climber rose with hardly any thorns because it is in a walking area!
Hm, it does have thorns, big ones on the bottom. They are not very sharp though as in other roses…
Bonjour Madame!
Son rosier LE JARDINIER GÉNÉREUX est tellement beau. Pouvez-vous s'il vous plaît me dire depuis combien de temps vous l'avez planté et quelle est sa hauteur et sa largeur?
Merci beaucoup!
Je vous souhaite, à vous et à votre famille, une bonne santé !
Hi there, I planted that rose probably 8-10 years ago, it is growing on 8-9 foot high arch. There are 2 of them on both sides. I train both of them very vertically and the bottom is bare. The arch itself is probably 5 feet wide. Isn't she beautiful!
Đẹp quá người đẹp ơi.
Lindo demais, parabéns! 🌹
Thank you! It is a beautiful rose indeed!
Is the stem hard enough for self support?Can it grow into a large shrub?
I’ve just planted mine up in a large pot, mines growing around a window.
Watching your videos has given me the confidence to buy my first climbing roses! Generous Gardener!
I’ve placed an order for 2 bare root generous gardeners that I would love to train onto an 8ft obelisk. Question for you, is training two gg roses on one obelisk a terrible idea? I was going to plant them opposite sides and outside of the obelisk and train the canes laterally spiraling in the same direction. Thoughts? Are the canes not flexible enough to have tight spirals? ❤
Hm, Generous Gardener has strong and sturdy stems. 8ft obelisk can be a bit small for its mature growth. If you want to do it, try to train those young stems right away, they mature fast.
Така красуня!!!! Чи чутлива вона до дощу? Чи є зклейка пелюсткок ? Дякую
Beautiful roses. And indeed, the Generous Gardener seems to be disease resistant. But you really made me laugh when you said that David Austin roses are "famous for disease resistance". On the contrary! The David Austin roses are among the most disease susceptible roses that I have in my garden and are generally known as susceptible for blackspot and mildew. My Glamis Castle is totally defoliating and even Golden Celebration doesn't have a single leaf that is free of blackspot already during the first flush of blooms (if I don't spray them), even though many of my other roses show none or just a little blackspot. The fact that they have pesticides in their webshop is telling.
Recently, David Austin has removed a large number of their roses from their catalog and the newer ones tend to be healthier, so let us hope that this trend continues. For now I don't buy David Austins anymore, because I like to have a garden, not a rose hospital, and breeders such as Kordes, Tantau, Poulsen, Meilland, etc., have plenty of interesting alternatives and I am sure that many American alternatives exist as well.
I must agree with you. DA is retiring many of his roses because of disease problems. That is a mistake statement on my behalf. Although his new introductions are showing great promises.
What zone are you in? I’m in zone 7a & looking for a very disease resistant climber that is a great repeat bloomer for a 6 foot arch. Would you please give me your recommendations? Thanks
Also, which Austin’s are the new better disease resistant ones that are showing great promise?
I would strongly disagree, yes they aren't perfect, but english roses were bread from old and very disease resistant varieties hence they are considered disease-resistant and winter proof too. It's just there are MORE resistant roses out there ie some german Kordes and some of the american varieties too. However, german roses lack gracefulness and are generally very tasteless/boring roses without any character unless you go with their mock-ups bred from Austin roses (ie Kordes Earth angle is bred from Austin's Geoff Hamilton and looks identical too). Your particular region/climate might be non-suitable for Austin's roses which happens, but there are lots of gardens incl Austin's garden in Shropshire which thrives without spraying and is doing just fine.. The reason why Austin removes lots of roses off stock is really simple - stock issues, they've got too many varieties and they struggle to sell new varieties unless you just remove old ones and replace them with new. A lot of very successful roses ie Munstead Wood and Jude the Obscure were removed despite being very healthy and popular.
First the Greenfly, then the Blackspot, then the Powdery Mildew FFS.
Thank you for the video! How long does the first flush last?
Hm, Generous Gardener is not good with long lasting blossoms, they fall fast, just after 2-3 days of blooming. There are a lot of blooms, that is a relief. One taking over another. I can't really answer how long the first blooming time is, will check on that this summer. GG repeats blooms very readily and quickly. There is definitely a strong second flush of blooms, but sparse blooms are plenty too. Hope it helps..
have you tried growing clematis with climbing roses? I'm hesitant because I'm not sure how to match the two
I did try, didn't like the effect at all. I tried to pair my climbing Ahola rose with white clematis. Clematis looks like bird nest, messy when not in blooms.
This is very beautiful, is this an evergreen Rose?
I live in US, zone 7 and this rose looses leaves for winter.
@@OlgaCarmody thank you
... скажите пожалуйста, я правильно поняла, что у розы каждый цветочек цветет дней 4-5 и не очень хорошо держит? дождь
Yes, that is correct, GG rose have one disadvantage: it looses flowers fast.
Hi! Ms. Olga, do you have any suggestion for a climbing rose that has stronger blooms which don't fall at the slightest touch, than the generous gardener.
Oh, gosh, DA roses are gorgeous, but not famous for keeping their blooms very well. Look into newer introductions of roses from other rose breaders ( Kordes for ex). There are plenty to choose from...
how about Awakening climbing rose? It is almost the same in color as GG?
try princess chrlene de monaco
I love mine. I've it growing through my apple tree but now I'm moving house and I don't know if David austin still deliver to Northern Ireland.?
I live in US, and we have GG here for sale. Not sure about Northern Ireland.
They do :) I’m ordering to Belfast now
It's a British company, so they will deliver across Britain.
Beautiful rose, I was wondering if you need to protect the canes during winter? What are your lowest temperatures that this roes is exposed to? Thank you
I don't do any protection on canes. Rose is good to grow to zone 5, I am in zone 6/7. Plus my garden is very private with strong privacy hedges and constructions on all sides. So, wind pressure is not strong. Our winter this year was mild, with 7F the coldest.
@@OlgaCarmody Thank You! The coldest I get is down to 0F and wanted to try growing a climbing rose and it sounds like i should be ok. Love your videos!
Olga, do you find the thorns bothersome at all on the arch? I want to put generous gardener on my arbor on a pathway into my backyard, but it gets a bit more traffic because it is a pathway into our daylight basement. I hope the thorns are not a big deal or stay to the side!
I never had any issues with those prickles. My rose canes stay on the exterior side of the arch. Plus the pass way is pretty wide. Hope it helps. Happy gardening!
Hi mam ....happy gardening ...I am hema nd I am from India ..I have been wanting such climbing rose since 4 yrs but I didn't get any because I am from India ....is it possible to you to send such beautiful plant to me if I send money ...pls rly mam
Hi Hema, I won’t be able to send you rose bushes but I just checked for David Austin roses in India and I see some available through Desertcart online. I looks like an Indian company. Good luck!
Good afternoon from San Diego. How is your garden in early fall? I am planing to plant more roses next year. For 2 locations, I would like to plant Claire Austin and Generous Gardener. However, I’m not sure whether should I order 2 roses each location for a fuller look. What’s your advice? Thank you. / Can
If you have an arbor in both locations, I would order 2 roses and plant them on both sides. Climbers get bigger with time and can struggle if you plant 2 of them together in one spot.
Thank you very much. @@OlgaCarmody
How long does it take the generous gardener climbing rose to fully cover an arch?
I would say at least 4 years. And there will be just 2 or 3 main stems to do that. During consecutive years, GG will continue building number of stems.
@@OlgaCarmody ❤️ Thank You! Now to exercise patience in my garden.... grow rose grow!
Dear Olga, have u spray any pesticide to yr roses?
I don't do pesticides in my garden. My kids are constantly rolling on grass and run around. I do build up the health of my garden soil and let plants fight their own fights. As for roses, I do natural sprays and tolerate some presence of diseases at the end of the season.
hi Olga how do you keep your lady of shalott in bush form, the stems of mine are so soft and laying on the ground all over the place, do I have to prune really hard in winter? what shall I do to make them grow in a bush form
Hm, never had that problem. Do you have a lot of shade? This rose is stated as good for part sun though. Strong shade can make plants stretch for the sun and create long slender stems. Also, too much fertilizer ( especially nitrogen in spring) can give your rose a strong start in spring but the plant can’t support such rapid growth and topple over. Maybe you have a combination of both condition.
@@OlgaCarmody thanks, it has roughly 5-6hrs sun if it is sunny, i am in the UK.
@@rz202 This is what you can do. Call your David Austin company in UK. They are very responsive here in US. They will ask you to send a photo of your plant and will give you advice. Good luck!
@@OlgaCarmody will do, thanks Olga
Can it be propagated by cuttings or only grafting?
I believe David Austin company has a patent on this rose. So, no propagation. I bought this rose grafted.
@@OlgaCarmody Ok Thank you
@@OlgaCarmody I believe you can propagate through cutting for your own use rather than for selling to public. I propagated my lady of shalott from cutting using my original David Austin purchase and I planted these in my front garden. It is just for fun and hopefully I will be soon in the sea of lady of shalott
@@rz202 Very interesting, I am going to call David Austin company and ask. Will let you know.
I asked and they said that technically I would need a license to do that.
Hi Olga, would the generous gardener be good for 6ft fence?
Yes, GG will be very happy to take that space as long as you train those stiff canes when they are young. Good luck!
Do you suggest planting Generous Gardener during Spring or Fall?
It all depends where you live. For colder areas spring is slightly better, but both times are great.
couldn't the bare feet have been avoided by bending the canes so they'd produce laterals? I understand the vertical canes will be bare like as you have
My rose is quite a “mature lady”, growing for the 8th season already. And because it is so strong, it produces thick vertical shoots, I wouldn’t even attempt to bend those young vigorous shoots in that location. It is quite narrow, unfortunatelly. But, I learned to enjoy those “bare legs”. Thanks.
I've grown mine across a 4 ft high fence. Growing across beautifully. So much so I bought 2 more for another fence line
I got this one last year and it blooms completely white. Very boring looking. Any ideas why?
Maybe too much of sun? And you garden in a warm climate?
