I have a one-year old Poet's Wife. She is a vigorous grower. Last year I planted it as bare root, now it's at least 3 feet high and wide, it put on hundreds of blooms the first flush!!! And the flowers last for almost a month. I am ready to prune it for the first time this year, though there are still some buds! The scent is divine. I can't say enough good things about her.

I am after a full fluffy rich Yellow rose for a hedge in my front yard along a picket fence. I want to pair it up with‘Princess Alexandra of Kent and have them alternating pink & Yellow. I think’The Poets Wife’ is the one.👍😁 Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺
Thanks for letting us know. It certainly is one of the top performers here in our Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern USA region: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/ and it will be interesting to hear how it "stacks up" in our conditions.

I watch you from Russia, here we love the David Austin roses very much, many people grow them in their gardens. Thank you for so beautiful and interesting video. I like the way this Sir speaks about the Poet's wife, special thanks to him. I'm getting her this fall. Lots of love and blessings❤

That's wonderful to hear, she is a great performer and one that should give you many years of pleasure and enjoyment. As you've probably noted in our videos, we go to a lot of trouble to present nice big, bushy, well-grown and shaped plants at our partnering garden centers: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/ so once she gets fully rooted in and established, she can only get better and better from here on in 😊👍👏 Have you subscribed to our channel?

Thank you so much for sharing in depth information on David Austin roses. It is somewhat daunting to choose a rose just from a picture or two in a catalog. Please continue showing the different successful varieties, I absolutely 💗 these roses, and love seeing a mature plant, and knowing how successful it is years on. Thank you🌸
Thank you, that is good to hear. We posted another one yesterday on The Poet's Wife and there's more in the works, so stay tuned.... Of course, the best way to choose is to see them in reality and that's why we (mostly) send our roses to our partnering garden centers: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/ when they are in flower, so if you live in our Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern region be sure to stop in and take a look….

I live in Newark, DE and am looking for Lady Emma Hamilton. I have 37 David Austin Roses and she is the one I would like to add to my collection. Thanks for this video, I got Poet’s wife this season and she is beautiful.
Wow, 37 David Austin selections in one garden That has to be a beautiful sight to wake up to each morning.... Congratulations! Lady Emma is a beautiful rose and David says he loves the fascinating background story behind her name. However, she doesn't care for our region's growing conditions and sadly she refuses to perform well in our trials, and that's why she has been discontinued by David Austin roses. Have you got Lady of Shallot: ua-cam.com/video/X1hDh7dmFCA/v-deo.htmlsi=E4u66u47y_3oBXsj ? She has displays similar coloring and is a much better performer - infact when you watch David's video you will hear him tell you that she is one of the TOP PERFORMERS in our 4 year trials.

Thank You for your reply 😊 Yes, I have two Lady of Shallot. It’s not my best performer but I have high hopes for be year after a hard pruning. Thank you for all the information you’ve provided, I look forward to visiting your garden site 😊
Thanks for :chipping" in with your findings and letting all of us know. It is wonderful to learn of everyone else's experiences. All of this is very valuable. We know what we are seeing and are happy to share that (the good and the not so good), but to have everyone else "chip" in is great because then we all learn.
Me as well- same zone Ohio. I just started planting 3 DAs last fall. 2 Boscobel & 1 Lady of Shallot….very happy with both varieties (this is their 1st season). Lady of Shallot is my favorite. Boscobel are smaller but the fragrance & blooms are incredible. I originally wanted Poets Wife but wasn’t sure how reliable (I bought Boscobel & Lady of Shallott from the good reviews on reliability in our area). Do DAs get larger each year? Any you recommend?

@@OverdevestNurseries thanks I sure will . Do you guys have a hornbeam trees . I tried to look in your website but I couldn’t find them . I’m trying to make a walk around my garden like English style
I've grown David Austins for probably 30 years, and in my current garden (south central PA) the best performer by far is Olivia Rose Austin. There are others I like better for the color or scent, but if you only have room for one this is a good one. I've never had Poet's Wife, but looks enticing. I don't spray mine at all, except for deer repellent. The colors on most of the DAs can change a bit through the life cycle, but also with the weather and temperature. I did feed them a little this year, and they've done very well.
That's wonderful to hear, we like Olivia too, and will probably be posting a video featuring her at some point in the future. Its great to hear that she is doing so well for you. Thanks for letting us all know, it is always very valuable to learn of other people's experiences because that helps us all enjoy better plants. Have you subscribed to our channel?

Thank you, as you can see we are very fond of them too. And now, thanks to the results from our 4 year long studies, we know a lot more about which ones are the best performers for this region.

Do you have a video for pruning the David Austin roses or even just regular roses after their first flush? I have 3 year old Poet’s Wife and love it. Thanks for your wonderful videos.
Thanks for your question. It just so happens that we do have a video that shows what you can do after the first flush of flowers on roses fades. In this video entitled " How Did It Turn Out??? 5 Pruning Updates ✂️, Recaps ❤️ & More Tips & Tricks For Your Garden" : ua-cam.com/video/B5-OVP6PHMQ/v-deo.html David takes us into one of our trial gardens, and (at the 6.44 minute mark) explains the procedure! In this video he is working on some of our fantastic True Bloom® selections, but the procedure is exactly the same for our David Austin's too. Have you subscribed to our channel?

David the roses you show are simply breathtaking! Poets wife, lady of s and Imogen have hundred and hundreds of buds on the most perfectly shaped shrub. How do you do it?! Are these shrubs you are showing planted with multiple roses or are they single plants? In the UK how long would I have to wait to get this many buds on my Austins? Thanks
Thanks, its nice that you've noticed and appreciate our efforts. We really don't do much except prune them in spring and give them a little dressing of fertilizer then too. These are all single plants, and most of them are now four years old, so they are well established and showing off their best. Its important to choose the best selections, and of course start off with good well-grown plants - something that here at Overdevest we specialize in (highest, consistent quality possible). Also, just remember, that we are only showing you the top performers from our trials.... That is obviously the most important part, and why we go to the trouble to conduct our trials. If you look carefully through some of the wide shots, you may notice gaps in the plantings.... that's where the ones were, that didn't make it! 😉😉 Stay tuned because later this year David is planning to do a video on summer pruning! Something that we have found works well here, and leads to a terrific flush of fresh new growth and flowers in the autumn. Thanks again for watching. Have you subscribed to our channel?

How do you keep the blooms facing up? Most videos of this rose show droopy necks on the shrub. How do you manage to keep them strong and facing upright? Does hard pruning have something to do with that?
Thanks for your question. We have not really seen this as an issue in our trials. We treat it like all our other roses.... i.e. prune them fairly hard in early spring, so we get good strong, sturdy growth. We do not apply any irrigation and we are careful not to over fertilize. And most importantly..... in these trials we are NOT spraying fungicides, which is why we are so pleased with its performance. It's available through at any of our partnering garden centers: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/ so if you live in our Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern region be sure to stop in and take a look….

Yes, that's going to be important. After a year or so, it will need to be potted on into a larger pot, here's a link to another video here on this channel that will explain more: ua-cam.com/video/f_X7s8fg2kA/v-deo.html If you live in the Vancouver area, you can probably over-winter them outdoors in your milder climate, so when David talks about sheltering them indoors or planting them out before the worst of the winter, he is talking about areas where the winters are harsh and cold, and the roots will freeze in pots.

Thanks. Of course, the best way to see them.... is in their own glorious reality. That way, you can see, touch, smell and admire all their beautiful qualities and enchantments. In our nursery, we try to produce them to the highest standards, so that when you visit our partnering garden centers:grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/ you can do all this..... and better still, bring them home, so that you and your family will be able to see and enjoy them for many years! Hopefully, the effort and information we provide in our videos (such as it is), will help you research and select the ones that are worthy of further scrutiny and closer consideration.
Could be a variety of things. The best thing to do is contact your local extension office or a knowledgeable master gardener and see if someone there can take a look and help you diagnose what's going on.

I have a one-year old Poet's Wife. She is a vigorous grower. Last year I planted it as bare root, now it's at least 3 feet high and wide, it put on hundreds of blooms the first flush!!! And the flowers last for almost a month. I am ready to prune it for the first time this year, though there are still some buds! The scent is divine. I can't say enough good things about her.
Thank you for contributing, its always great to get other people's impressions. This is valuable.
Stay tuned because as we go forward we are going to be profiling other selections that have proven their worth in our trials.

Of course, the best way to choose is to see them in reality and that's why we (mostly) send our roses to our partnering garden centers: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/ when they are in flower, so if you live in our Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern region be sure to stop in and take a look…. Because that’s where you will discover (and smell) all sorts of beautiful, tried and true and cutting edge, top performing selections.

I live in Newark, DE and am looking for Lady Emma Hamilton. I have 37 David Austin Roses and she is the one I would like to add to my collection. Thanks for this video, I got Poet’s wife this season and she is beautiful.
Wow, 37 David Austin selections in one garden
That has to be a beautiful sight to wake up to each morning.... Congratulations!
Lady Emma is a beautiful rose and David says he loves the fascinating background story behind her name. However, she doesn't care for our region's growing conditions and sadly she refuses to perform well in our trials, and that's why she has been discontinued by David Austin roses.
Have you got Lady of Shallot: ua-cam.com/video/X1hDh7dmFCA/v-deo.htmlsi=E4u66u47y_3oBXsj ? She has displays similar coloring and is a much better performer - infact when you watch David's video you will hear him tell you that she is one of the TOP PERFORMERS in our 4 year trials.

Thank You for your reply 😊 Yes, I have two Lady of Shallot. It’s not my best performer but I have high hopes for be year after a hard pruning. Thank you for all the information you’ve provided, I look forward to visiting your garden site 😊
I agree, my Poet’s Wife is currently blooming its head off and smells AMAZING! One of my favorite here in central Ohio zone 6A.
Thanks for :chipping" in with your findings and letting all of us know.
It is wonderful to learn of everyone else's experiences. All of this is very valuable.
We know what we are seeing and are happy to share that (the good and the not so good), but to have everyone else "chip" in is great because then we all learn.
Me as well- same zone Ohio. I just started planting 3 DAs last fall. 2 Boscobel & 1 Lady of Shallot….very happy with both varieties (this is their 1st season). Lady of Shallot is my favorite. Boscobel are smaller but the fragrance & blooms are incredible. I originally wanted Poets Wife but wasn’t sure how reliable (I bought Boscobel & Lady of Shallott from the good reviews on reliability in our area). Do DAs get larger each year? Any you recommend?
Very nice ❤❤❤
Thanks, and in our trials, it continues to excel.

I subscribed cause I watched a video about lady of shallots, now this is my second video of DA roses . I have few of them
Thank you for the subscription. Hopefully, you'll be able to enjoy more of our videos as we post them. But also, we would encourage you to scroll through some of the other (existing) ones that we have here on this channel too. There's lots of them on a wide variety of subjects, including (as you've noted) some of the results of our ongoing trials with David Austin and several other rose selections.
We are dedicated to finding and growing the best performing garden selections for our region, and during the main planting season (spring through late Fall) we ship them to our partnering garden centers: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/ (which are located all over our Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern region), so you are others can get your garden off to the very best start, and become a little bit more successful with your garden enjoyment.

@@OverdevestNurseries thanks I sure will . Do you guys have a hornbeam trees . I tried to look in your website but I couldn’t find them . I’m trying to make a walk around my garden like English style
I've grown David Austins for probably 30 years, and in my current garden (south central PA) the best performer by far is Olivia Rose Austin. There are others I like better for the color or scent, but if you only have room for one this is a good one. I've never had Poet's Wife, but looks enticing. I don't spray mine at all, except for deer repellent. The colors on most of the DAs can change a bit through the life cycle, but also with the weather and temperature. I did feed them a little this year, and they've done very well.
That's wonderful to hear, we like Olivia too, and will probably be posting a video featuring her at some point in the future.
Its great to hear that she is doing so well for you.
Thanks for letting us all know, it is always very valuable to learn of other people's experiences because that helps us all enjoy better plants.

Excellent! We love English Roses. Also, love that you are testing for a local vicinity: so beneficial.
Thank you, as you can see we are very fond of them too. And now, thanks to the results from our 4 year long studies, we know a lot more about which ones are the best performers for this region.
So stay tuned because as the information unfolds, we will continue to bring you exciting updates of which ones are excelling.

Do you have a video for pruning the David Austin roses or even just regular roses after their first flush? I have 3 year old Poet’s Wife and love it. Thanks for your wonderful videos.
Thanks for your question. It just so happens that we do have a video that shows what you can do after the first flush of flowers on roses fades. In this video entitled " How Did It Turn Out??? 5 Pruning Updates ✂️, Recaps ❤️ & More Tips & Tricks For Your Garden" : ua-cam.com/video/B5-OVP6PHMQ/v-deo.html David takes us into one of our trial gardens, and (at the 6.44 minute mark) explains the procedure!
In this video he is working on some of our fantastic True Bloom® selections, but the procedure is exactly the same for our David Austin's too.

David the roses you show are simply breathtaking! Poets wife, lady of s and Imogen have hundred and hundreds of buds on the most perfectly shaped shrub. How do you do it?! Are these shrubs you are showing planted with multiple roses or are they single plants? In the UK how long would I have to wait to get this many buds on my Austins? Thanks
Thanks, its nice that you've noticed and appreciate our efforts.
We really don't do much except prune them in spring and give them a little dressing of fertilizer then too.
These are all single plants, and most of them are now four years old, so they are well established and showing off their best.
Its important to choose the best selections, and of course start off with good well-grown plants - something that here at Overdevest we specialize in (highest, consistent quality possible).
Also, just remember, that we are only showing you the top performers from our trials....
That is obviously the most important part, and why we go to the trouble to conduct our trials.
If you look carefully through some of the wide shots, you may notice gaps in the plantings.... that's where the ones were, that didn't make it! 😉😉
Stay tuned because later this year David is planning to do a video on summer pruning! Something that we have found works well here, and leads to a terrific flush of fresh new growth and flowers in the autumn.
Thanks again for watching.

How do you keep the blooms facing up? Most videos of this rose show droopy necks on the shrub. How do you manage to keep them strong and facing upright? Does hard pruning have something to do with that?
Thanks for your question.
We have not really seen this as an issue in our trials. We treat it like all our other roses.... i.e. prune them fairly hard in early spring, so we get good strong, sturdy growth.
We do not apply any irrigation and we are careful not to over fertilize.
And most importantly..... in these trials we are NOT spraying fungicides, which is why we are so pleased with its performance.
It's available through at any of our partnering garden centers: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/ so if you live in our Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern region be sure to stop in and take a look….

I bought this rose last summer. It is still in the original green pot. Shall I change a bigger pot for it? Thank you, David.
Yes, that's going to be important. After a year or so, it will need to be potted on into a larger pot, here's a link to another video here on this channel that will explain more: ua-cam.com/video/f_X7s8fg2kA/v-deo.html
If you live in the Vancouver area, you can probably over-winter them outdoors in your milder climate, so when David talks about sheltering them indoors or planting them out before the worst of the winter, he is talking about areas where the winters are harsh and cold, and the roots will freeze in pots.

David Austin catalog and online has this rose hardy to zone 4. I have this rose and am in zone 4b. I love it!

Great to know because I’ve been very cautious about purchasing one because that’s my zone as well our winters can be brutal!!
Why do these videos look like they were recorded in 1978? Would love to see your plants in proper recording quality.
Thanks.
Of course, the best way to see them.... is in their own glorious reality.
That way, you can see, touch, smell and admire all their beautiful qualities and enchantments.
In our nursery, we try to produce them to the highest standards, so that when you visit our partnering garden centers:grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/ you can do all this..... and better still, bring them home, so that you and your family will be able to see and enjoy them for many years!
Hopefully, the effort and information we provide in our videos (such as it is), will help you research and select the ones that are worthy of further scrutiny and closer consideration.
My Poet's Wife has its new leaves coming out like needles. This never happened before. Why is this happening?
Could be a variety of things. The best thing to do is contact your local extension office or a knowledgeable master gardener and see if someone there can take a look and help you diagnose what's going on.
