    Beautiful garden Darren. So well planned and ❤ how you blended the colors. Such a joy to take a stroll through your beautiful garden of trees, roses and perennials. I love how you have created a garden for nature - it makes it so much more special.

    O.K, Back for Act 2! I do enjoy your conemplative manner of speeking, some rosarians talk loudly, forcefully as if they are drill sergeants, or auctioneers! 😆😆 After a day of high intensity work, it is relaxing to not be bellowed at! LOL! 24:03 Start a new channel for "Darren Unhinged" where passion prevails and language is spicy! LOL! Our rain experience her in Ohio was a hammering deluge 2 weeks ago that flooded out 10% of the huge vegetable garden, now for this entire week we swelter under 90 to 95 degree heat for an entire week with no rain, none forcast until Sunday, but when the atmosphere is so hot and dry, it oftentimes evaporates before it reaches the ground. 24:45 Fragrance is composed of various types of alcohols, so high heat and unrelenting rain can wash away scent. 25:52 Oh my! Perfectly quartered Munstead Wood, although quartering is much more visible in light colored roses due to shading from raking light.
    Anyhow, your abundant rain has all greenery looking fresh, bright springtime looking, here in our hot dry weather, plants are beginning to look weary, August like. 26:24 Last year, I nearly bought a Desdemona, it sounds as though I need one, perhaps low petal count turned me off? I look for high petal count, like around 100 petals, centfeulle, Centifolia. I love roses that are stuffed to the gills with petals and no stamens visible. 26:40 Alas! Slugs and snails dining on your lily leaves. 27:49 My oriental lilies, taller than I am, Conca D'Or, Big Brother, African Queen, Mrs. Schlieman, all set to bloom, they make massive trumpets exhaling their exotic, spice fragrance into the night air, every garden must have fragrant oriental lilies. 27:49 Yes, this is the time of year that we longed for the entire winter, these are the good old days! My few roses that are prone to blackspot, at worst, they will drop all of their leaves, then recover for a wonderful late summer/autumn show. Also, due to less light available in autumn, the leaves and flowers will grow larger in an effort to capture the amount of light that they want. 28:29 "jwa du veevre" Joy of life, I studied French language for two years, in French, as in many western European languages, the 'r' sound is made in te back of the throat as if clearing the throat and the closest English equivalent is the letter "h". Any foreign culture obsessed with beauty and goodness, I love. Joie de Vivre, beautifully quartered. a "pinl lemonade" sort of color, quite lovely. You are a better rose salesman than the catalogs and web sites, because we know that your opinion is honest and not commercially driven. 31:28 Your foxgloves and lilies and valerian etc. really do create the quitessential cottage garden look, and not merely like a sales lot for roses, now, if you can just get alyssum to be dripping out of your pots, the gorgeousness would be amped up considerably. My alyssum are self seeding, they are around 2 inches tall now, but they start slow, then go like a freight train as summer progresses, and get enough of them, your air will be saturated with their honey scented perfume. Just get a few to start with , you shall not be disappointed. 31:46, a very successful plan. I think of strong colors, like oranges, reds etc. as spices to be used in small amounts. too may stong colors make the eyes go weary. Accomplished fine art painters will use small areas of strong colors to guide the viewer's gaze to where the artist wants it to go. In my opinion, strong colors need to be used sparingly and jusiciously, which you have done quite well. 32:36 Yes, digitalis are good neighbors, unlike morning glories which slay everything around them, my interest in morning glories has pegged on empty.
    33:32 Oy yes! My Eustacia Vye has come into prime of life this years, she lives in a massive pot, I drag her into the 45 degree room for winter, so, she blooms EARLY, masses of large blooms, intensely fragrant with old rose and grapefruit undernotes in the scent profile. Every rose grower must have Eustacia Vye. At the same time that reader plant David Austin's "instant gratification" roses, they should plant one old vintage rose plant that blooms on the previous year's growth and will not bloom the first year. MANY old, once and done roses ar soul meltingly beautiful, the finest being the Old, Common Pink Moss rose. The Victorians were mad about them, they were THE rose to have during the 18th century, mine quite outdid itself this springtime. Now it is resting while it begins generating a new round of gorgeousness for next springtime. Our payment for enduring our dismal winters, is what we are witnessing right now. Winter nights, I look at your videos for ideas and inspiration for the coming springtime. "Oh wind, if winter comes, can spring be far behind?" 34:32 Alberine, I LOVE seeing old, ancient buildings buried under Albertine, nothing else like it, the wickedest thorns in rosedom. Mine is languishing the past 2 years. 38:56 My entire 50 years of gardening, I gather long thin dead saplings for my pole green and scarlet runner bean vines to clamber up, tied together at the top teepee style,, this year I am doing something new, I am gathering much shorter, thinner one to make head high teepee frames to tie my delphiniums and "sky high" oriental lilies on, at the bases of these, I have Cardinal Creeper vines planted to clamber up them, they are not naughty like morning glories are, and the hummingbirds are mad about their tiny scarlet tube flowers. Tell Ava "hello" for us, little darling did not want to venture out into the wet? 🙂🙂 Alas, I have written another short story for a book!

    this bloody rain his year, did so much damage to my garden too, Black spots all over, and the buds were rotting without even blooming, I was almost crying. But the thing about roses is that even when they look terrible, they are so strong, they just rise up from their ashes. I love your garden Darren, and I love the mixed coloring, just like it is in nature too, Really nice.!

    So excited to get the tour of your beautiful rose garden! Will rewatch it definitely!! 🌹 the plant growing I think is Horseweed a species of fleabane , very tall and will have tiny daisy like flowers. I had left mine like you but finally pulled it out. Here in North Carolina. I let the wild carrot or Queen Anne’s lace grow in my garden for a time. Last year I sprinkled the Darius Carrotta Seed heads which I grew from seed, not wild and they are pink.
    I thoroughly enjoyed your advice, knowledge and the beauty of your garden ! Thank you 💗

    Hello Darren, thank you for your comment about the size of the pots! I have several roses in very big pots and to be honest they are not doing the best, on another side I have planted two roses in much smaller pots and they are growing much much better. From now on I will just use smaller ones.

    I am guessing that your neighbors enjoy the perfume radiating out of your garden? 3:20 Yoo Hoo! Ava, where are you!? 4:24 I think that roses look better with rain drops on them. 6:42 I hope that next spring that I can remember your comments about Jude the Obscure it's fragrance!💛💛 My Poet's Wife is fragrant like that, a handful of perfume! 7:55 I like to put my lax caned roses into enormous pots, then elevate them up to eye level, my Francois Rabbellait is that way, heavy polyantha trusses of blooms hanging. A charming effect so long as they don't lay on the ground.
    9:23 I have no interest in roses that posess no fragrance, but a few non fragrant roses are so ravishingly beautiful, that i break my rule of banishing the scentless from my garden, Paschmina Veranda is one, so perfectly cabbage form, sush perfect Victorian romantic/Redoute cabbage form that I forgive it's lack of scent. I think that Francois Rabellait was simply over rated for fragrance, that is why I have it, but newly opened flowers have prefectly quartered form before they disorganize with age, AND I had no red roses at that time. 9:58 I know! We can blend essential oils with water into a spritz bottle and fix our scentless roses! 😄😄😄 10:41 To me it looks like what we call wormseed here in the USA, wormseed has a rather rankling odor to the leaves, but it is a feirst class vermifuge. I would keep it in your garden, but don't allow it to become naughty and invasive. 13:13 When I was quite young, 50 years ago, I would read i african violet booklets by and for housewives, that keeping the violets in small pots forces them to bloom better, many plants that does seem to be the case, but for roses, not according to my observation. As near as possible, I want for them to have the same root range as they would have when planted in the ground.13:49 Albertine has very nasty thorns, the worst that I have ever seen. And gate rattle, if you would naot hear it, Ava darling would! LOL! Oh! The foxgloves and tall lilies, perfect the scene. Lupines are a must have also, even though they do fall over in heavy rain. 16:38 Wonderful delphiniums, I bought my 3 delphinium varieties from a family in New Zealand who specializes in them and they were highly recommended for being reistant to mildew. They are beginning to bloom now, but still building up strength and stature. Well! I shall have to finishe watching this tomorrow night! I try to get to bed by midnight and usually fail! LOL! Sorry for the "short story" but the subject IS fascinating and your garden is quintessentially English cottage garden.
