You’ve outdone yourself, Ben,, excellent , thorough, descriptive review, especially helpful was the comparison next to the other roses, ty so much,, this one is the winner of my last garden spot, will be waiting patiently for availability in U.S., cheers
@@thesummerland6165 thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed the insight. It is certainly worth waiting for she’s now on her third bloom cycle of the season and if the season allows I’m sure she’ll march on to 4.
I love my Penelope lively, so much so that I got another one this year. Totally agree with you, love the colour of the stems, the leaf colour, the rose and the smell
I absolutely love the Penelope Lively rose‼️it has such a beautiful color, lovely shape & I really love its deep emerald green foliage‼️ I’m hopeful it will be available in America soon & can’t wait to smell it‼️Thank you Ben for another excellent review‼️🥰❤️ Debbie from Texas
Ben firstly thank you for your review, always enjoy them, and they have been the result of my garden having a feast for my eyes and nose:) , although i did buy her on release, i did not wait for your review and went and bought a bare root as well :( In my defence i would say it was down to how impressed i was of the rose in all aspects of beauty, growth, repeat, health not to mention scent. Also your first impressions helped heaps:)
Hi and thank you for your comment. I’m really glad that you like the rose. This one is absolutely exceptional so I hope it gives you many years of pleasure.
Hello Ben, thank you for your amazing content. I am loving it! I ordered it online from David Austin website. What kind of flower pot do you use (if you) for example for Penelope lively, or Bring me sunshine!
Both varieties specifically bring me sunshine are going to get fairly large might bring me sunshine although pruned to a permanent framework of only 18 inches over the winter are now coming up for flowering and standing at least 7 feet tall. You’re going to need a pot at least 70 cm in diameter and 75 cm deep.
There is already one here from a couple of years ago on the best and fastest repeats it could be reworked this tune at the end of national Rosemon and would almost definitely contain this particular rose
Hallo Ben, ist es möglich diese Rose in einem großen Topf zu halten? Du hast mich zu dieser Rose vollkommen überzeugt! Deine Videos sind ausergewöhnlich gut! Excelent! Danke dafür!
I bought it following your review/opening last year. So far its my favourite DA rose and I have quite a few ❤ 🤣. However I’m looking forward to the new Emma Bridgewater later in the season and next year! My EB hasn’t flowered yet. So really Looking forward to it.
Its a beautiful rose, however once established will be much bigger than 4ft. Mine is in a pot and already its over 3.5ft and still growing like mad. I cut it right back over winter to just a few inches and it's growing faster than any of my ground roses (besides lark ascending) Pretty sure it would easily reach 6/7ft in the ground. I'm not mad though 😅
It's very pretty. I watch other UA-cam rose channels, and the other growers have all experienced slow, weak or spindly growth with this rose. I think they all have them potted. Any thoughts on why yours might be doing so much better?
I’m not sure I haven’t heard any bad reports on this particular variety although I don’t understand how people can be already moaning that it’s weak and spindly bearing in mind it’s only been launched for 12 months many people tend to offer their personal opinions and reviews long before I will ever speak my mind regarding variety realistically no rose should ever be judged after being planted for less than three years. It often takes them that long to fully establish and show all of their characteristics, including colour fragrance and bloom size. Admittedly my plant is still relatively small only standing around 2 feet tall and around 2 feet wide however during his first flush of flowers it’s already producing five or six Scarlett Ruby red canes from the base will be what takes takes it through into next season
@@mariedavenport2372 please don’t Don’t forget your plants are only under 12 months old and really only just signing their feet now mine has been in the ground for a year if now sending up great big new leaders but I’m nearly 4 feet tall
Ben's review is so good, I can almost smell the fragrance 👏
Thank you I do my best

Hi Ben! Which has the strongest scent please out of this Penelope Lively and Eustacia Vye? Which works hardest and is most compact. Many Thanks Ben
Will it be available in the United States? It's so beautiful!
It will be yes
Ben would you do a video on continuous bloomers? Unless there already is one!!
There is already one here from a couple of years ago on the best and fastest repeats it could be reworked this tune at the end of national Rosemon and would almost definitely contain this particular rose
Absolutely gorgeous, think you have convinced me to get a couple Ben.
I can’t recommend this one enough. It really is captivatingly beautiful david Austin have done very well with this particular variety.

Yes you could keep it in a large pot yes
@@the_gardenerben thank you so much! Best wishes from Germany!

Looking forward to it.
Going to buy a Princess Alexandra since Penelope isnt available in the USA 😢😅 Cant wait to be able to have one 🥹
I now need it to pair with my masora. They will look good together.
That’s up to you and your style my garden is all mixed up

It is so disappointing that David Austin failed to release Penelope Lively
in the US. Hopefully it will be released in 2025.
These things are VERY complicated and long winded it will be available just as soon as possible
When will we see this beauty in the U.S.?
Very soon
