This is only my second season growing David Austin roses & I would not have had the success I have had, without your valuable rose care videos! Rarely do I comment on videos, but I just had to thank you for all your informative, enjoyable videos! You are my hero!🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
I love your videos so much! Very helpful and you literally answer all my questions as a beginner rose gardener! Your videos are very calming and peaceful after a long day! Thank you! 💕
Hi Olga! I’ve just discovered your channel and have learned so much already. I am from Staffordshire U.K... I live 20 minutes from David Austin! I visited a couple of weeks ago. Thank you for your wonderful content!
Hi Milly! Wonderful! And you live just 20 min away from David Austin place! He is becoming well known here in USA, and for good reasons! Welcome to my channel! I am glad you are here!
@@OlgaCarmody you can see all of the varieties on show at David Austin, I couldn’t choose but settled in the end for ‘Roald Dahl’ and ‘Emily Bronte’ ... if you can’t tell I am a bookworm! I planted them in large pots this morning so I look forward to seeing how they flourish!
@@Millysgarden Cool, bookworm, not many these days, I might say! I want to start some sort of gardening book club here in my channel. Just have to figure out the format. I am reading such a good book right now about topiaries and would love to share with everyone several priceless advice I got from it. Everyone can do the same.
Thank you Olga again! I am catching up recently discovering your videos. They are all excellent and I am learning so much. Thank you! Please keep the videos coming ❤️
Greetings from Canada! Always a pleasure to listen to different perspectives and see beautiful rose gardens! David Austins are well suited to your area. I admit to admiring only a handful as they require patience and winter protection in my climate. You really bring them to justice 🌹
I can see veining in my leaves on my Eden rose..The leaves are starting to look pale..not green. Do I add iron to my rose?? . Not sure what to do..no "bloom heads" at all. I used mint compost and cow manure in my soil..biotone, and land and sea compost. My bushes are in full sun.. Really love all your videos..I'm new to growing roses..so thankful to have found your channel. Thank you. I live in zone 8b-9..
Fantastic video. Those long shoots can be pinned down and they will develop buds. Also aphids are attracted to roses that are in high nitrogen or high ammonia soil. So no pets near them, and no high nitrogen fertilizer as you pointed out earlier. I do not use cow manure as that also has high nitrogen.
Great information you have! I love those long shoots, but don't have space for them unfortunately. I am, like most gardeners, sometimes dream about my next garden, where space and resources would not be a problem.. Happy gardening!
Thank you so much, this was extremely helpful, I am guilty of a few of these and now know what to do to have more beautiful roses 🌹. Great video, will save it for future reference and send it to my rose loving friends. 🤗
Hello there, I have two David Austin rose bushes, one I put in the ground last spring . It flowered early but was falling over under the weight of tht of the flowers,so I put some10-10-10 around it. I never saw another blossom after that. and I did get a lot of spikey growth. This sprng I pruned it back and used super bloom 12-55-6 and I'm getting buds everywhere!! Live and learn .😅1
Omg that “water tips” theory just blows my mind 😮 it’s like you are looking right at me and say “if you water it everyday… “ hahaha 😝 Thank you so much Olga.
Thank you so much. I have around 25 rose bushes and several of them are David Austin’s. I am still learning about them and how to care for them. I learned a lot from your video. Thanks again.
Thanks so much for your video. I bought a rose 8 months ago and never bloom. I suspect the reason is it is over fertilized. I was using fish fertilizer which I know is very good for roses but I think the fertilization was too frequent. The thing is that my Oranges 'n' Lemons never bloomed, just blind shoots. It has a beautiful foliage and get frequent infestation with insects that I don’t know if are aphids, the leaves are curly and seems burned. I’m not giving it fertilizer anymore so I hope the problem be resolved soon. Thank you so much for your help
I love hearing all your tips, as we too like to garden with natural fertilizers, and I want to encourage all my new roses next year. I planted 3 bareroot DA roses this year. 2 Wisley, and an Olivia Rose Austin. Then my son found 3 more for me at 75% off at the nursery, so I have 1 tranquility, and 2 Imogen. I plant to buy more next year. Is it typical for the bareroot roses to take some time to settle in? I had some growth and blooms, but they are not real robust , especially my Olivia. I am in zone 5b, Illinois.
I always wanted Olivia Rose, it is a high candidate for my front flower border which I am going to install this coming spring. I want to put together 5-7 roses of the same variety and train it as one big bombastic bush. 75% sounds so good! Those roses are an investment indeed! As for the performance, roses perform so differently in different parts of the world. For me, bare roots do very well and leaf out pretty strong. My advice to you will be: don't panic, it is nothing you did, maybe your rose was kept in the cold storage (after being harvested from the field) too long and used its energy to stay alive before it reached you. Don't be tempted to water it more or fertilize it more. Just let nature take its course. And Enjoy!
@@OlgaCarmody The roses put on a lot of growth during this warm Fall. I think they were working on roots before, so now they are settled in, I expect next year will be beautiful.
Hi..I hope You feel good....I think the problem that I have with My roses is lack of sun..because I fertilize them all the time when they need it but they grow very weak...I AM going to follow your recommendation.. thanks a lot Olga...
It is hard to say without looking. If you have scorch, marginal necrosis, it can be over fertilization, drought stress, accumulation of salts…if the leaves are just curled, look inside them, very often insects can be inside them…Sometimes, over Application of sprays can cause that damage. Think what your did to your rose recently.
Hello Olga, Thank you for your great tips. How do you deter the dogs from using roses as their personal toilet? Was thimking about planting garlic but that would mask the wonderful roses fragrances?
We don't have dogs, so this is not really a problem in my garden. But I heard people using twigs stuck in the ground in short intervals to discourage dogs from going there. Other folks use barriers, that is what I saw...
Hi Olga, I love your videos!They are so informative and helpful. I am in Connecticut, zone 7a. The blooms of my Golden Celebration and Lady of Shallot have become small and less. They are supposed to be 4 to 5 inches. What should I do to get bigger blooms? Please advice .
Hi Sarmishtha, we garden in the same state! The blooms of roses during second flush in the summer are generally smaller and not as proliferous. Rose will not produce big blooms if the growing conditions are poor: lack of sun, water, poor soil, no fertilization....
@@OlgaCarmody Thank you for your reply. I water regularly and also fertilized. The Golden Celebration rose gets about 5 hours of sun, in my backyard in the south side. Do you recommend moving her to a sunnier location? If so, should I move the Rose in December or earlier? Please advice.
@@sarmishthabanerjee1057 Golden Celebration needs full sun, it will not tolerate anything less than 6 hours of direct sun. So, move it, you can do it in the fall or spring, whichever is more convenient to you.
Hi Wen, My local stores ran out of Rosetone and I had to use Plant tone. You can substitute it , just use less of Planttone. It is a bit higher in first number ( nitrogen), which is responsible for strong leaf growth. You want your rose to bloom. Otherwise, it is fine, but of course, stuff designed specifically for roses is the best. It will meet all their needs. Happy gardening!
Sonia, Could you tell me what blooms best in your garden? I want to surprise my brother in NW Indiana with a garden makeover, but want everything planned before arriving. What thrives in your yard should do well in his.
I planted my bare root Olivia Rose Austin 4 weeks ago and there is a lot of leafy growth, stems growing with thorns. Is it normal to have sets of 6-7 leaves growing? Thank you for this video and for sharing your knowledge 😊
Thanks for the tips. My DA James Galway only bloomed once, and then went to dormancy. I might have trimmed it wrong or perhaps it doesn't re-bloom to begin with.
@@OlgaCarmody I am in Chicago, zone 5. The location only gets 4 hours sun, that could be a problem, but in DA's website, it says partial shade. It bloomed once beautifully, and I trimmed it as shrub, perhaps I should only cut off the flowers...
@@OlgaCarmody I mean it's not doing anything, not new leaves, no new cane, just stay there...I asked the nursery nearby they said some climbing roses finish their bloom they just go to dormancy and wait for next spring.
@@indie8189 I never had that situation, but I didn’t garden in zone 5. I lived in Ukraine in zone 6 though. Please keep me posted how your rose will behave next year in spring!
Hi Huy! Hm, easy care. How about David Austin collection of roses for easy care and good for beginner gardener? There are 15 of them: Olivia Rose Austin, Princess Anne, Eustacio Vye, Emily Bronte, Malvern Hills, Claire Austin, Ronald Dahl, Susan Williams-Ellis, The Lark Ascending, Mortimer Sackler, Tottering-by-Gently, The Mayflower, Kew Gardens, Scarborough Fair. Hope it helps. Happy Gardening!
I have several roses that are not blooming this year They have been in this area for a few years. There are a few of them have not bloomed for several years. I have tried so many different fertilizers that are specific to roses. I even bought some high-quality rose fertilizer to try and still no luck. I do not have any problems with bugs at all, no rose rot, they are in direct sun. I have attempted to dig up the area around the plant and applied organic material. Nothing has worked this summer. They have gorgeous full leaves. Do you have any more advice to help them bloom? I really frustrated, I have done everything that you have talked about.
How about leaving your roses along for a while? Maybe you are over loving them? You said your roses have great leaves, can it be too much nitrogen? I would try to neglect them a bit with fertilizers, just make sure they are well watered. And let us all know!
@@OlgaCarmody thank you. I did try that too. Could it be they are just too old and have depleted the soil and may need to be transplanted elsewhere next spring. Oh by the way I do live in Western South Dakota they get pruned back and covered every year
Hm, soil can’t be depleted by just one rose bush. Age will bring general decline to your rose, it won’t have beautiful foliage. And are you sure you don’t have a run off fertilizer from elevated grass area somewhere? There can be a problem of suckers overtake… They don’t bloom. I am going to feature your question in my future video… Stay tuned.
Glad I'm not the only one who grabs their coffee and goes outside to check on the plant babies! 😂Sisterhood! 😋☕🌹
Yes, the best time of the morning, to go and check on my garden!
Olga , you are such a rose , i appreciate your knowledge of roses , i bet they enjoy you talking to them , i know i do ...............
