Jason your such a great resource for so many things in the garden . And a generous and kind host. Thanks for this video.
Thanks Lulu!
2 of my favorite rose geeks. I binge watch both of your channels. Thanks for all the work and effort you put into your videos.
Thanks Slavia. I'm always happy to hear that viewers are getting value from my videos, and I'm sure Kimberley feels the same way.
My favorite, knowledgeable and generous teacher on roses… responsible for falling further in love with roses. I have great gratitude for you Jason.
A pity shipping abroad has so many regulations… and me being so far away! Let me know if ever there is a possibility of buying a rose from you. As always the very best for you.
Thanks Ignacia!
Have been learning a lot from you. Such a knowledgeable and humble expert. Thank you.
My pleasure. Thanks for watching!
Interesting watch ,Though Fraser was the interviewee! . However Lady of Shallot..beautiful. I received a cutting of a rose bush … the rose petals has lots of ruffle hugh bloom both in width and length … it’s pale pink tips-white-yellow centre . He said it was planted by his parents in 1972, and he’s in his 70s! I’m in London so guessing this no longer in pattern, would be amazing to know the name of this rose plant. He also gave me tips on how to propagate the cuttings.🤞🏽so different from the usual ways. Thank you both.
These are the best two rose experts I’ve found so far. Wonderful video.
Re your cross border issue. A few years ago when returning to Nova Scotia from my winter in Florida I bought home an entire suitcase of seeds & cuttings. When I got home, my suitcase had a note inside that it had been opened & inspected. End of story. Nothing was missing. Here is what I did. All winter I kept my eyes out on bus trips from my gated community (CVE Deerfield) as well as long walks each day. When seeds were ripe on plants which interested me I collected. Washed quickly in dish detergent & warm water, rinsed several times. Put in paper lined baskets for weeks to dry naturally like after a rain. When completely dry they got thrown together left in open containers until the final week, when they were put into metal cookie tins. That same week I took cuttings, cleaned them the same way. Stored them in large clear tubs that Dollar store snacks had come in. the cuttings were kept damp, misted. Lids screwed on last minute when packing that last day before leaving for another summer at home. I have lovely house plants & shadow boxes of fascinating seeds and pods. Fill out the form for declaring seeds & cuttings. NO SOIL even in microscopic amounts is the key I blv. CLEAN seeds and cuttings. Can't say it enough.
Congrats Jason on going full time! Loved this video; perhaps you'll consider doing more interviews / collaborations.
Thanks so much. I'll definitely consider it doing it again!
That was fantastic, so much good info! Congratulations on making the move to go full time on your farm!
Thanks Bryony! We're so excited.
Oh Jason - David Austin roses! My favs!
My husband love roses so this is good info since I will get him a lots of roses.
It an old saying
“Two is batter then one”
It’s a great idea to do together....
Thank you Mukhtar!
Congratulations Jason for going full time on the farm! 🌹
Thanks so much Emily! It's been a goal for a while, and the time is coming soon.
Thank you Jason for helping us so our roses and vegetable will thrive e
My pleasure! Thanks for watching
I have recently discovered Kimberly's channel. So nice to see this interview. Thank you for organising this.
Jason, you are a book of knowledge. I can listen to you talk about gardening all day long.
Congratulations and good success with your new endeavours, very happy for you. 👍 😊🌹
Thanks so much Angela.
Hey Jason, I really love your channel. It's so informative and I learn a lot from you! Beyond strong repeat bloomers, I noticed that some of my DA Roses, as beautiful as they are, last 2-3 days maximum on the bush. This kind of information is hard to come by. Would you consider doing a video about long-lasting roses on the bush? I have Boscobel, Princess Alexandra of Kent and Golden Celebration. For me, Golden Celebration lasts a week on the bush, PAK 2-3 days and Boscobel's petals fall off as quickly as it appears (1-2 days). For those of us who want to enjoy it in the garden, it's a big disappointment.
Thanks. I'll add it to my list of topics!
I have the Lady of Shallot David Austin rose.... it’s beautiful but the canes droop and arch quite a bit so a lot of times the blooms are facing down. It is a very vigorous Rose and the color is beautiful!! I love it! It blooms all season pretty much too!
Thanks for the recommendation!
David Austin Munstead Wood rose is beautiful and smells amazing. I also enjoy Gertrude Jekyll, she one of the strongest smelling rose out of all David Austin roses.
Thanks for the video Jason, Kimberley is amazing, learning a lot with her too. I am intimidating too about climbers, looking forward future videos.
Thanks Johanna!
Jsson and Kimberley helpful as always! Thank you so much! 🙏🙏❤❤
Okay, thanks for that info. I will wait for Spring! I can tell you now that I had Westerland (don't know why it died after a few years), and want to get one again! Glad to see you have that one in your farm.
Great interview and i appreciate the perspective
Hi Jason, on the question how long we can soak bareroot roses, I say if we have a mini water pump to create a waterfall effect, we can create a hydroponic situation and soak indefinitely :) A challenge for next bareroot season
Always fun to experiment!
I love David Austin Roses I have 3 one is Olivia and golden celebration
Thanks Yvonne
OMGGG I couldn't click this fast enough! Dream collab!
Really nice and informative watching this conversation. 👍🏻
Congratulations Jason I'm sure you do well on your Rose farm.
Thanks so much for all of your encouragement!
This was very interesting. I got a lot of great ideas from both of you. I also never knew that there are some David Austin roses out of patent. There have been times when I have seen a David Austin rose being offered for sale and wondered if it was legit. Thanks!
Thanks Elizabeth
Jason, great interesting and informative video. Thanks for sharing. You are my new favorite youtube guy!
Thanks Christie!
Good discussion, thanks.
Beautiful interview
If you have that many Japanese Beetles (as I do), don't use a messy, smelly bag! Attach a PVC pipe to the lure and place a large bucket filled with a few inches of water at the base of the pipe with a couple drops of dish soap in the water. Make sure the pipe has a cut out at the base for the beetles to come through. Works like a charm - no mess, and easy to dispose of the beetles on a daily basis. Empty buckets can easily be obtained from restaurants that want to recycle or give them away.
I've enjoyed many of ur videos
Thanks so much Annie!
Great! Thank you both!
Jason, you were talking about shipping to the States being difficult. Do you know if a person could come buy from you and drive the plant across the border them self legally? Kimberley, I have been watching Jason and learning from him. I planted 7 roses last year and with his help expanded to about 50 this year. I have avoided climbers because I didn't know what I wanted them to climb on. I will get some and David Austin's as well. I do get a wild Rose that pops up on my property that is a white one time bloomer with an amazing smell. The ones that I let grow are about 10-12ft tall and wide. They are a single bloom a lot like an apple blossom. I'm glad Jason introduced us to you, I'll have to check out your channel.
Thanks Dennis. For an individual, it would involve an appointment at the CFIA (Canada's equivalent to the USDA in some ways) to have a phytosanitary certificate issued. Not impossible, but a bit of a hassle nonetheless.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Thanks, I thought they would not let any plants cross. You would think as big a business that plants are, there would be an easier way.
About companion planting: David Austin was really all about mix beds and companion planting for a reason. People I know really love (for the West Coast): William Shakespeare 2000, Jude The Obscure, Munstead Wood and Evelyn.. There are a couple of older ones that do well in Zone 5: Radio Times and Sharifa Asma.
Thanks so much Anne!
Great video. In the garden at my old house I put in a rose garden. I really miss it. I had varieties that you just don't see anymore like Sterling Silver, Mykado, Pristine just to name a few. Can't find them. 😕
Thanks Gretchen. Always a shame to leave special roses behind, but sometimes there's little choice I suppose.
My recommendations of DA roses for zone 6b are Winchester Cathedral and Ausmary. Mine have survived minus 18 Celsius without any problems even though they were not covered by snow, only by an extra layer of bark chippings. This year I am going to check how my latest purchase, namely Tottering-by-Gently by DA, is going to tolerate the winter in my country in central Europe. BTW, I have two Westerlands which I have propagated myself.
Thanks for sharing your recommendations!
A lot of my additions have been roses that thrive in less light. My parkway and front yard and driveway are full sun, but my backyard has the neighbor's high trees.
So I established hybrid masks Ballerina (4), Guerlande d'amour, also and damask. A surprising number of roses bloom well in semishade, like Madame Hardy, Gruss an Aachen, Charles de Mills and many others. So I save my full sun for the ones that demand it. The result is that I have been able to add about 20 more roses.
But 2 of the roses on my most prominent locations are Constance Spry and Madame Hardy. They are spectacular bloomers and attractive plants. But I also have high octane bloomers like Rose de Rescht, Sydonie, Marchesa, Zephirine Drouhin and its sister Kathleen Harrop. KH, by the way, is much more vigorous than Zeph. It's spectacular. Little White Pet. Pillow Fight, Oscar Peterson and At Last are all small enough to put in my front yard.
Did you know that for 2023 Rose's Unlimited has dropped Austin's? It's not a problem for me because they don't work here. I really prefer the reblooming old garden roses that he was trying to create but in my personal opinion, at least in my zone, failed to do. Who needs another Dr. Huey?
Peter Schneider knows which ones are good. He is propagating Fair Bianca for me.
thanks for thoroughly discussing bagging beetles on one property gives the owner the most beetles and all the neighbors no longer have a problem. Grrrrr
You bet Norine. Isn't that a kick in the pants?!?
Always enjoy your videos! Kimberly try milky spore treatment on your yard for J Beetles. We had them so bad on everything several years ago. Treated once and now for years we have only had a handful each year.
Tracy in Toronto has a gardening channel and has some of the David Austen roses mentioned by The Rose Geek. Maybe can get cuttings from her? I sense another collaboration!
Thanks for the pointer!
Mercury, can you please tell me where Tracy is in Toronto, would love to see what she has. Thank so much. 😊
@@summer._._.1988 her channel is called Tracy’s Home & Garden. If you search it, you will find her videos, which are great 😊.
It would be awesome if you were able to get your hands on Summer Song, a David Austin rose. An older David Austin rose that is somewhat hard to get a hold of is The Reeve from 1979.
Thanks - I'll be on the lookout for Summer Song. I have The Reeve - a bit lax, but makes a great cut flower nonetheless.
Cecile B comes in a non-climbing form, often called Spray or Bloomfield Abundance. It is a continual bloomer and would like to be quite large (6-7 ft) but can perform well when hacked back into submission (4-5ft). It’s one I will never want to live without- so for folks that don’t have space for the climber form, it is perfect. Because of perpetual blooming I prefer it to the climber.
Thanks Juliette - great recommendation.
Thanks.
In terms of beneficials, I find that borage, feverfew, geraniums, parsley, woodland strawberries, salvias, nepetas and arabis attract tons of beneficials.
If you want to get rid of Japanese beetles, get bird feeders! I have 2 black oil sunflower feeders, a 2 sided suet feeder and a general bird feeder and the beetles disappeared! And adding a solar birdbath helps. It cut my beetle population by 90% and I love the birds.
Thanks Donna
One David Austin I love is Munsted Wood. I have Happy Child The Prince and Radio Times. Also The Squire. Oh yes I love my Evelyn and Gertrud Jekel William Shakesphere 2000.
Thanks Jeannine - since this video I've added some of those. Still young yet, but enjoying them so far.
So happy I came across your videos. Thanks so much I really love them. I’v learned a lot from you. And you’ve reinforced my love of roses. I’ve been so busy working, I’m ashamed to say I’ve neglected mine. Thanks again for reminding me to slow down and “smell the roses”
Thank you for an other educational video! I heard you sometimes selling your roses and plant in the farmers market. Do you announce the date and place ahead of time? And mostly what is the time of the year and which farmer’s market you usually do your sale?
Thanks Stella. Before Covid, my home market was the Mission City Farmers market, but I did the rounds in Abbotsford and Coquitlam too. In those years, I released a listing on the website to show where I'd be. Covid forced me to move most of my selling online for pickup directly on the farm. That's how I'll be doing it this year for the most part. I'd consider selling events off the farm, but those are sketchy even this year.
can you guys do an episode/ episodes about excellent modern rose cultivars that are similar to David Austin's roses in terms of aesthetics and other key characteristics (like fragrance) but happen to come from different breeders?? 'Scentous ' comes to mind ,along with 'Chippendale' and so on.
Thanks. I'll add it to my list of topics.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm thank you, can't wait
My top 5 DA roses in my climate (5B) are: Boscobel, Olivia, Lady Emma Hamilton, Queen of Sweden and Roald Dahl.
Thanks for the recommendations.
Great info, as usual. But Jason, please be careful. Nothing's worth jeopardising your lovely place. Thx. ☺🕊
Thanks Laurisa. I'll be cautious - but I'm also not getting any younger, so if I want to really give the farm business a chance, now's the time I think.
Loved the video
Walmart sells David Austin roses as does Heirloom Roses. I don't know if they're the oldest ones.
Thanks, Jason! Good to know! But can I find out before Spring what will be available? What if I email you names of roses I'm interested in ; would you know if they will be among the available ones? I suppose they would come bare root via post?
Thanks, Hedy
Hi Hedy. No, they would be rooted cuttings in a small pot (4in/9cm) in active growth. I won't know which varieties until I assess their condition in spring.
Hi Jason, thanks for sharing so much knowledge and information with us! I was wondering... you mentioned in a different video that you get pots that are used, and sterilize them. Would you consider making a video on the physical process of sterilizing pots? I get used ones from neighbors all the time, and it now occurs to me that I should start cleaning them... but hand washing 200 pots at a time would take forever. Can you share your method? Thanks so much!
Thanks Vanessa. I definitely reuse old pots, but I'm not sure where I talked about sterilizing them. I know some people do pot washing, but you're right - that would be a ton of work! The spread of soil-borne pathogens from old pots is a risk, I'm sure, but so far it hasn't translated into any growing problems that I've had to deal with.
I had terrible japanese beetles. By the way, despite the fact that I have a billion raspberries, their favorite rose is Morden Blush, which has no scent. I would always start with my trio of Morden Blush on the south side of the yard, and I could get 80% of them. But I have many once-blooming and recurrent old garden roses, and have been lucky enough to get hard-to-find roses like Lens' Bouquet Parfait. By the way, Jason, I got my hands on Oscar Peterson, the Canadian Artist rose you featured. It's almost frighteningly recurrent in my zone 5b yard, and gets absolutely no disease.
But this past year I had almost no japanese beetles at all. What did I do? Birdfeeders. I went to Brome and got two black oil sunflower feeders, a two-sided suet feeder, and a general bird feeder and the japanese beetles disappeared because I had so many birds. They ate them!!!!
So, perhaps try that. But I should say, that as the temps have cooled, I am filling my feeders almost daily. But it's worth it. The birds are wonderful!!!
Thanks Donna - that's very encouraging, and good to know that natural predators can play a role in control.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Yeah, get the little buggers!!!!!
I know quite a few members in our club who grow David Austin roses. We had a breeder from NB who came snd spoke at our club years ago. He grew and sold many, spoke highly of them.
I have him (Austin roses) on my IG. Love their videos.
Anyway I will do a little research 4 ya and send u a msg on what some of us have. I know one lady who wld love 2 share some cuttings or do some trades with U.
Loved the 2way chat.... You'll have 2 do some more with other rose growers!
Thanks so much. Always looking to add to the assortment!
I would love to buy a rose or two from you, if you ship to Ontario. Talking of Austin roses, I have Perdita and Fisherman's Friend, both of which have refused to bloom for many years so I don't know if you would even want a cutting of them; maybe they would bloom for you - a different space, different soil? If you do ship here, where can I see what you have available? Instead of shipping to U.S., ship to Ontario! (For my space. roses that can take partial shade would be best.) As for recommendations about best roses, my most prolific, stunning, and reliable rose is "Braveheart". (not an Austin) I agree with you that the old roses need to be saved, so I applaud what you are doing.
Thanks Hedy. We'll be shipping to Ontario next spring - look for the "For Shipping Within Canada" section on our online store starting in late February and probably continuing through March and early April.
I am looking for a Harison's Yellow. I used to have one but moved. I read it's difficult to propagate and therefore difficult to obtain. I bought mine from Pickering Nurseries but they're now defunct. :(
I've seen it occasionally on the market - but I haven't grabbed it because I grow 'Hazeldean' which I like a bit better.
Great video could you tell me is it possible to take cuttings off shop brought roses tia.
You can sometimes succeed with cut roses (depending a lot on the source) but you'd have a higher success rate with garden roses.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm ok,thank you for your quick reply.
❤
How do you find out which roses are out of patent? Why is it important to know this information?
For me it's important to know because I propagate roses for sale. Propagation is legally prohibited (without a license) on patented varieties - that's for around 20 years after introduction. I usually go to Helpmefind Roses to figure out when the rose was released (sometimes it'll even give the patent number so you can check directly if it has expired)
I have Olivia
I've been looking for vendela & O'Hara roses ughh they're so gorgeous can't find them
OTHELLO!!!...
can grow roses in in india northern regions best results
What was the website she said to sign up for, for the list of out of patent roses? Could not understand her.
I'm not sure which part of the video, but I always look on www.helpmefind.com/rose : when you search a rose name, the profile page (at the bottom) usually quotes a release date, and sometimes even a patent year or number. If the rose was released over 20 years ago, you're in the clear.
I read we shouldn't put rose canes in compost because they take so long to break down
Thanks Pat - I'll be posting something soon, but yes, I find them really annoying in the compost because of the prickles too. Chipping them first will let me use them directly on garden beds or as an addition to the compost.
How can I prevent bugs and black spot naturally without having to break the bank on commercial sprays?
My firs layer of defense is just filling the garden with a wide assortment of flowering plants. This attracts a diverse group of predators, and will often keep outbreaks (of aphids, for instance) from becoming too severe. It's a nice strategy because it makes the garden more interesting too! On blackspot, good sanitation can go a long way to reduce infection: removal of badly infected leaved, pruning out old congested growth to allow for good air circulation. Some inexpensive sprays like elemental sulfur and potassium bicarbonate can help to keep foliar fungus (and spider mites, in the case of sulfur) under control.
Chaucer, Cressida.
Thanks for the suggestions Debbie!
Evelyn is NOT a her. Crabtree and Evelyn are the last names of two men who founded the company. I worked in one of their stores when this rose came out. There never was a perfume made with this rose. The best Austin I ever had was English Garden. I was really surprised at how well the milky spore and grub ex worked when just used in my yard. The traps are great too but they have to be 60 feet away from anything you are protecting. Your statement you attract more than you trap isn't true. Keep using them and they will work. Every beetle in the trap is 30 you won't see next year.
Hi Scott. Studies show that the traps are only able "bag" 75% of what they attract (thus, attract more than they catch). In this study webdoc.agsci.colostate.edu/bspm/JapaneseBeetle/PotterHeld2002.pdf the findings were as follows: "JB populations has long been debated (47,80). Gordon & Potter (56,57) found that use of single traps or small-scale multiple trap arrangements did not prevent or reduce damage to nearby landscape plants, nor did it reduce larval densities in surrounding turf. In fact, defoliation was much greater when traps were present on a site." Thanks for the recommendation on 'English Gardener' - I'll see if I can get it!
My Evelyn rose will continue to identify as a female.
Lol.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm I did not have space to open the entire article. I am assuming by your quote that they used they use any other forms of mitigation (milkey spore or grub ex.) The combination of the two worked fabulous for me and I learned this technique at an ARS convention. By the second year, I had zero beetles on a small city lot with neighbors just a couple of doors down still complaining about the damage. The Austin cultivar I mentioned was English Garden, nor Gardener. Please let me know if you find it- I have been looking for years. It behaves like a floribunda with classical old rose form.
I need lady emma Hamilton rose.
Thanks. We got some cuttings of these a while back and I'll have to check if they've rooted.
Don't say the Evelyn word! Lol
