Lovely garden. A few tips. Don't spray the roses in the evening as it will easily get blackspot and other nasty stuff as it won't dry out during the night, just spray it in the morning if ever. Also, your climbers are not meant to be pruned really - you need to let them grow those long stems and then tie them horisontally so they can put on more flowers. Otherwise you're just getting a few flowers at the very top - a generous gardener is a good example, try to put all of those stems to 0-45 degrees and they will shoot next year with lots of blooms. For shadier spots in the garden, you can try to install mirrors, either decorative ones or traffic lights style that will reflect some sun into the shadier spots to allow more healthier growth for the roses. Also, you can buy slow-release fertiliser granules (even Austin sells them) to feed your rose literally once a year in end-March, then you can give it some farmyard manure ( large £5 bag from the garden centre will cover all of your roses, just put a couple handful around the base of each plant in the spring) just to ensure your soil stays reach and holds moisture well. Your house is lovely and I do get why you prefer the pale colors but having bright accents in the garden can be also beneficial. Great video!
I have recently been adding more roses into our permaculture-light garden space. They are amazing for beneficial insects, including our native Australian bees. After watching your video I was convinced I needed more David Austins! I started with a Pat Austin a few months ago, added a Jude the Obscure standard a few days ago. And have ordered Wollerton Old Hall as a bare root for winter to climb an arbor alongside a grape. I never thought I would enjoy a standard rose - most people seem to grow them all on their lonesome and they can look rather leggy and out of place. But tucked into a garden bed next to other plants, alongside a path, they are perfect for saving space and ensure the blooms are at head-height. Just loving it.
Lovely! We have a 30 year old Felicité Perpétue and love her, (Fell iss ih tay Perp ett you). We also love our Francis E Lester - you got a bargain there! She is vigorous, and beautiful with pretty hips. Fill the gaps with geraniums - can recommend Ger. Johnson’s Blue, and Ger. Kashmir Purple as good-doers!
I have a suggestion for gaps! Chives! They're light and pretty and useful and keep bugs away. And easy to pull up in favour of something else when you're ready.
Love some of the gap filler suggesting already like hydrangeas and cat mint. There's a variety called cats pajamas that grows short so it's good for the front of a border. Didn't see anyone menton daisies, cone flowers, penstemon (midnight masquerade is my favorite), yarrow (so so many colors and heights), day lilies, or sedum (autumn joy, rock n grow, lemonjade are my top 3). I don't know why it's taken me so long to find your channel given all the garden videos I watch, but I'm so happy I did! I will try to remember to like every video to help you come up more in the algorithm!
Your videos are not only inspiring, but they are like mini courses of practical gardening tips and do's and dont's. Very enjoyable and educational at the same time! Thank you!
I love the flow and serenity that your garden offers. A suggestion to fill in the gaps for the shady areas could be Astilbe. There are so many different colors and sizes to choose from, and I have a white one in my garden that is constantly buzzing with pollinators! Love your videos!
Hi sweet friend thank you so much for sharing your beautiful cottage garden with us all the beautiful roses all about your property you did a beautiful job on your video hugs and kisses from grandma Sandy and Debbie
Try some hydrangea in your gaps. There are hydrangea plants that love shade and others that love sun. The Limelight series do very well in both. Years ago I lived in Crantock in Newquay. When you were showing your back garden it looked so much like our row house. You have a lovely garden. Karen in Kansas City, US.
Oh, that Limelight Hydrangea is so wonderful! I went crazy and now have 7 of them. They are ethereal in color and remind me of lace. Mine only get slightly pink, but I prefer them at the chartreuse stage the best. You won’t regret getting at least one of them. Plus, they dry really well for arrangements in the Fall. 😊
Gorgeous !! English roses and antiques are my passion. Sadly I lost my Pilgrim rose (the only one, it came all the way to me in Italy from DA in UK )Lovely to see yours.
I only just discovered your channel this morning and I’ve subscribed! When I watched a few of your latest videos heard you mention you would upload a rose tour “in a few weeks” and I thought “hmm I hope she uploads that soon” 🤔 What a lovely coincidence 🤗🌹 Love your garden and your home, very inspirational to someone saving to buy their first home with a large garden space!! Xx
Dear Mona, I really enjoyed your garden tour. I love roses so so much, especially blush pink and golden- peachy ones. Your garden is very beautiful. 💕🥰
Beautiful garden! When you asked about filling in the gaps, I thought of currants, red or black. I like the plants, and the fruits are delicious. I make jams, sauces, pies, and wines with them.
Magical looking plot! I was so thrilled when you announced the Generous Gardener, she’s my current fav and was my first purchase from DA. Shame it wasn’t in flower for your video because it is the most enchanting rose, and it’s perfume! 😍
I think I've watched this video ten times, I love it! Your garden is so beautiful. I've added 5 roses to my garden this year, and I think I'll need a bigger garden if I want more😂
I love your garden. I like Brunnera macrophylla for filling in shady nooks. They have silver heart shaped leaves for most of the year with very pretty blue flowers in the spring that look like forget-me-nots. I usually plant them next to my hydrangeas.
Have you tried separating the petals, mixing it with crushed red sugar crystals, keeping it in a glass bowl under the sun for several days mixing it every day so that it forms one jam-like mass, and you eat it with butter! We call it "Gulkand" in India.
Your Garden IS Beautifuuul... For the gaps, i would probably fill it in with all soorts of berries. Maybe less showy. But wonderful snacks. You can do all sorts of things with your rose petals aswel, besides composting
Beautiful, beautiful garden and video!!! I would love to see clips of how the different flowers progress maybe a little nature asmr style? The explanations here were lovely but also I want to feel like I'm sitting in your garden just listening to the ambient sound. Just an idea!
I have just found your channel and it's very inspiring. I got plenty of ideas from you (even though my garden is really small). Thank you for this relaxing content.
Recent subscriber on YT but have been following on IG for a while. So so glad that YT showed me this video. I absolutely adore these! They bring such a sense of calm, and the editing is so lovely. Thank you so much 😌
Your gardens are magnificent. I especially love the roses. Over the years I've probably had 50+ old English (David Austin roses). There's a great book if you can find used (believe its out of print) called Smith and Hawkins 100 English roses for the American gardener and goes over the ins/outs, loves, dislikes of so many of these roses. Gertrude Jekyll - tho hot pink so may not be a fave, is a lovely scented rose that's been harder to find of late... if you come across it. I live in a coastal environment so it's been a real hit/miss with some of the varieties (in some instances too much fog/shade for some). Thx you for sharing!
I recently discovered your channel and have inhaled all your videos in the past few days. Your garden is so calm, lovely and inspiring; thank you for sharing it with us. I would agree with your observation that rose flower colours change from year to year, and I find that it is related to weather, but not the way one might think. In hotter summers bloom colour in our roses seems to be more saturated - not what I would really expect, as more sunshine should surely bleach out the colours faster? I wonder if it's also related to rainy and sunny springs, but I haven't managed to keep track of any correlation there. You mention having gaps in shady areas - are these damp shade, or the sort of dry shade that happens under trees? Suggestions would be different for each of these situations. For damp shade I'd agree with the other commenter who suggested hydrangeas - maybe the lacy ones rather than the more out-there mop heads. The flower luminosity of the white ones is amazing in the evening. Dry shade - you might get away with hostas given that your ducks will feast on the inevitable slugs! I'd avoid Japanese anemone, personally, as I've found them very invasive, though I haven't had them in shade, where they may be less thuggish. Dry shade has been good for spring bulbs, for me - snowdrops and crocuses are so lovely; unless you're all crocused out in other parts of the garden. Very best luck with all your plans; love from not-very-distant Gloucestershire!
The Coral bells is a good plant for part shade it works out really really pretty and it comes back every year so yeah that would be a good one try it okay good watching your show okay bye
Lovely tranquil garden. Another superb climbing rose is Mme Alfred Carriere, probably the very best rose for growing in shade. It's an old Noisette rose, is creamy-white with a pink centre, fragrant and grows very readily from cuttings. Not sure whether you wanted suggestions for shrubs or for perennials but some perennials might be: salvia, catmint, lychnis, astrantia, penstemon, lady's mantle.
Your roses are beautiful…I’ve a few of the same ones ❤…try out a deep red like William Shakespeare….its rich and delicious ….try some Thalictrum …whispy and beautiful or Diascia …the tall pink perennial one …cuttings take ridiculously easy…I also love sanguisorba
I think you need more sunlight. I live in a woodland but somehow i manage to find light. My DA roses do pretty well I have about 20 I think (i live about 20 mins away from DA) the ones of mine that don't do so well is lack of sun they really do need about five hours a day but I hate cutting back trees. I keep seeking pockets of light ☀️ .
Gap fillers hydrangeas! They are a perennial, can be quite large and hold their blooms from summer all the way through winter for great winter interest. Also in the super shade, hostas! I would also check your soil there, maybe there is a reason things aren't growing well.
So hydrangeas come back year after year and you don’t need to do much to them right? What about the knock out roses do they come back as well? Idk about DA roses because in a zone 5-6 climate, our weather can be warm one minute then get frost the next! We only have about 3 months of growing season then temps fall! So I’m looking to create a perennial garden where they will bloom back but idk about the roses I don’t think a rose no matter how resilient can survive frost and snow!
Ben from North Lodge Cottage, has really good advice about growing Claire Austin - he says it is not a shrub and not a climber, so it is better to grow it up an obelisk or post, as it won't bend sideways as well as a normal climber. He has videos on UA-cam.
I too have this rose.. Its a bit of a strange one. I have it bang in the middle of a wooden obelisk and it not an easy rose to train.. Planting roses at the side makes it a lot easier haha. I have managed to bend 2 canes so far on the outside but I'm. Hoping they grow long enough to go around the back so they come Back aRound the front otherwise I'll lose the blooms visually at the back haha x
I took a sharp intake of breath when I heard you had planted a rambling rose; I planted one to cover a dividing fence and ignored warnings. Now my neighbours are probably cursing me. I have to hack at it to try and control it, and it is really thorny. I get ripped to shreds. On top of that, it gives one big show-then nothing.
I enjoy seeing your garden, especially the abundance of it all. I can't help but wonder, with so many flowers, greenery and grass - do you have any issues with wasps?
So beautiful! Your garden is lovely. I love my roses but a lot of mine have black spot and it’s a constant battle to keep it under control. It seems once they have it and it’s got into the soil, it’s almost impossible to get rid of. I don’t want to use fungicide or anything that will harm bees/wildlife, so I guess I’ll just have to live with it. I have a wishlist of David Austin roses - hopefully I can get some of them in the near future! 🌹
Thank you so much 😊 oh that’s hard. With you on not wanting to treat it. Hope you can get your DA roses too. There is something about them isn’t there!
I have 3 DA roses but no pests I Here in Cornwall. I saw a tour of the DA garden and they had little bags with nemotodes to hang on branches. Think this was for spider mites but might be worth asking.
I'm loving your roses and your garden. I too became intersted indavis Austin roses last year and have planted many. Some have done better than others but I must learn to be patient haha. May I ask what the beautiful pink flowering shrub/tree is opposite your Olivia standard in a pot? It's behind you as you are dead heading. It's beautiful x
I just discovered your channel and just love your style! I planted a David Austin James Galway and a Emily Bronte rose in my garden this year, and neither have bloomed. Maybe they need more sunlight? I am not sure. I will give them another year to see how they do before I move them.
Hi mandy I just noticed your comment. I too have James Galway. It is a rose that can tolerate some shade and mine only gets about 4 or 5 hours a day and is still flowering now. The other James Galway I have is in the sun and although there were more flowers, the flowers finished ages ago. I also have Emily bronte and its her first year in my garden as a bare root from November. Beautiful rose but is in the sun for quite a while. The best flowering rose for shade in my garden is the generous gardener. It grows very fast though and its only its 2nd year in my garden and is a little more than I can handle as it grows so fast. The downfall with this rose is that it drops its petals after 2 or 3 days of opening and can make quite a mess. It's a good bloomer though. I think that's how it got its name... Its very generous xx
@@davenadainton4209 Thank you for your response! I am encouraged by your experience. I forgot to mention that both of my roses were bare root, so perhaps next year I will see much more growth and some flowers. I may look into the Generous Gardener rose since I have a quite large shady area where I would like to grow more flowers.
@@mandylocke96 mortimer sackler is another one to tolerate shade although they've changed its name now. Mine didn't do much this year. First year in my garden though so I need to be patient. I would def hold out to see what James Galway does next year. Mine has only just started throwing out new shoots. It's the 2nd year in my garden. I'd much prefer this rose over the generous gardener. The generous gardener is a big rose to manage. I think it needs an arbour or arch as it's heads nod down, so you miss the blooms unless you are underneath it, if that makes sense. James Galway is, definitely easier to train. . I'm definitely not experienced. I've only had roses for a few years. But I have many David Austin roses. Good luck and enjoy xx
Lovely garden tour. Love your roses. I recently planted Gertrude Jekyll by David Austin. It’s a spectacular rose that you may love. Though it is a pink. I lean toward the pinks also. To fill the n the gaps perhaps some annuals or I love lavender in the garden. It’s great for bringing the pollinators in. Thanks for the fantastic tour. 🌸
Ýes Gertrude and Lavender look lovely together. The scent of G.is the best ever. I find her quite tricky though and keep having to bring her back from chronic fatigue!! Think she needs moving. Had her in a pot for a few years.
@@cynthiastogden7000 hope your Gertrude revives herself. I do agree on the scent. Really a fantastic old Rose fragrance. I am seeing a few buds preparing for a second flush, so it’s very exciting. Thanks for your reply Cynthia.
If your Pilgrim rose is a climber you can train it to go over the door and the window xx with climbers you can use the fan effect so main canes can go to the left and to the right and then you with get lateral growth from the canes. Lovely video xxx
Your roses are breathtaking! Thank you for sharing them , and for your tips on growing roses ! Very helpful. I’d love to learn about your rain barrel . What you think of yours , how to use it , any tips ? I really want to get one . I look forward to each video you make !!
How beautiful, I have been trying to get the Mary 🌹 rose, my mum passed away recently and now they are not available for a few months 😞 does anyone know where you can get a Burma star rose ? For the U.K.? My grandfather was a fepow and I am desperate to get one
❤lovely gardens😊😊since UK has a very wet & humid weather due to global warming, u need a greenhouse to protect all your DA roses from Black spot , Powdery Mildew & Kanker😊 buy a good fungicide ya or grow resistant varieties to sub-tropical weather in summer like # Evelyn by DA, # Duftjewel , # Fragrant Cloud, # Fragrant Plum, # Prosperity etc😊 Good luck! Liming with dolomites can neutralize a very acidic clay soil & u need to dig deep to remove all clay & dump in sandy compost with well drainage one ya😊
Black spot isn't spread by tools. It's everywhere in the air. I wouldn't worry. Roses hate competition. Don't under-plant roses in pots or in the ground with anything at all. It will slow them right down.
Lovely garden. A few tips. Don't spray the roses in the evening as it will easily get blackspot and other nasty stuff as it won't dry out during the night, just spray it in the morning if ever. Also, your climbers are not meant to be pruned really - you need to let them grow those long stems and then tie them horisontally so they can put on more flowers. Otherwise you're just getting a few flowers at the very top - a generous gardener is a good example, try to put all of those stems to 0-45 degrees and they will shoot next year with lots of blooms. For shadier spots in the garden, you can try to install mirrors, either decorative ones or traffic lights style that will reflect some sun into the shadier spots to allow more healthier growth for the roses. Also, you can buy slow-release fertiliser granules (even Austin sells them) to feed your rose literally once a year in end-March, then you can give it some farmyard manure ( large £5 bag from the garden centre will cover all of your roses, just put a couple handful around the base of each plant in the spring) just to ensure your soil stays reach and holds moisture well. Your house is lovely and I do get why you prefer the pale colors but having bright accents in the garden can be also beneficial. Great video!
@vorong2ru, thank you for great tips.
Such a helpful comment!
Summer gap fillers. Cosmos, dahlias, zinnias and salvias. Beautiful garden!
I have recently been adding more roses into our permaculture-light garden space. They are amazing for beneficial insects, including our native Australian bees. After watching your video I was convinced I needed more David Austins! I started with a Pat Austin a few months ago, added a Jude the Obscure standard a few days ago. And have ordered Wollerton Old Hall as a bare root for winter to climb an arbor alongside a grape. I never thought I would enjoy a standard rose - most people seem to grow them all on their lonesome and they can look rather leggy and out of place. But tucked into a garden bed next to other plants, alongside a path, they are perfect for saving space and ensure the blooms are at head-height. Just loving it.
My favorite rose that i used to grow, and which i will always miss, is an oldie called Little White Pet.
Lovely! We have a 30 year old Felicité Perpétue and love her, (Fell iss ih tay Perp ett you). We also love our Francis E Lester - you got a bargain there! She is vigorous, and beautiful with pretty hips. Fill the gaps with geraniums - can recommend Ger. Johnson’s Blue, and Ger. Kashmir Purple as good-doers!
I have a suggestion for gaps! Chives! They're light and pretty and useful and keep bugs away. And easy to pull up in favour of something else when you're ready.
Exactly what I do
Oh wow! Great idea!
Love some of the gap filler suggesting already like hydrangeas and cat mint. There's a variety called cats pajamas that grows short so it's good for the front of a border.
Didn't see anyone menton daisies, cone flowers, penstemon (midnight masquerade is my favorite), yarrow (so so many colors and heights), day lilies, or sedum (autumn joy, rock n grow, lemonjade are my top 3).
I don't know why it's taken me so long to find your channel given all the garden videos I watch, but I'm so happy I did! I will try to remember to like every video to help you come up more in the algorithm!
Love your garden and share your passion of David Austin roses. 🌹 spring is coming. Yay!
Your videos are not only inspiring, but they are like mini courses of practical gardening tips and do's and dont's. Very enjoyable and educational at the same time! Thank you!
I love the flow and serenity that your garden offers. A suggestion to fill in the gaps for the shady areas could be Astilbe. There are so many different colors and sizes to choose from, and I have a white one in my garden that is constantly buzzing with pollinators! Love your videos!
So so beautiful, inspirational for my new cottage garden thank you !
Like a dream-lovely garden
Hi sweet friend thank you so much for sharing your beautiful cottage garden with us all the beautiful roses all about your property you did a beautiful job on your video hugs and kisses from grandma Sandy and Debbie

Writing a list of roses i want to get😍😍 I've ordered Winchester Cathedral, Olivia Rose Austin, and Princess Anne
I love David Austin roses 🌹
You sold me with orangey peachy yellowy color lol! Googling compassion climber. Lol!
Compassion is a wonderful rose , so very prolific .
Love the roses

Hydrangeas would be perfect to fill those gaps! H. Paniculata are beautiful, they bloom in summer and can take full sun
Great suggestion thank you!

Rose among roses
Japanese Anemone come in pink or white and do well in shade or sun. They flower late in the season
Just lovely. Well done.

I love your garden, it's magical. :-)
Thank you so much 😊❤️

I really love all the views of our whole garden, and the roses are just so beautiful (:
Looking beautiful
I really love rose hips. Some time would you show us how the rose hips look in the winter?

Pruning makes Roses grow ! K
Your garden is beautiful! Catmint would make a nice filler, and easily grows from seed!
Thank you so much! Will pick up some seeds 😊
Yes it spreads too.funny my 5 cats are not interested in it.

Hello ❤ I love your garden and your ducks ❤ I also love the shirt you are wearing, please any chance to find out where it comes from? Thank you ❤
Gap fillers hydrangeas! They are a perennial, can be quite large and hold their blooms from summer all the way through winter for great winter interest.
Also in the super shade, hostas! I would also check your soil there, maybe there is a reason things aren't growing well.
So hydrangeas come back year after year and you don’t need to do much to them right? What about the knock out roses do they come back as well?

So I’m looking to create a perennial garden where they will bloom back but idk about the roses I don’t think a rose no matter how resilient can survive frost and snow!
Pinky winky hydrangeas would be a good filler and can be pruned in Freeform or left as a shrub. They come in mini, mid an large shrub sizes.

Here in Cornwall. I saw a tour of the DA garden and they had little bags with nemotodes to hang on branches. Think this was for spider mites but might be worth asking.
I'm loving your roses and your garden. I too became intersted indavis Austin roses last year and have planted many. Some have done better than others but I must learn to be patient haha. May I ask what the beautiful pink flowering shrub/tree is opposite your Olivia standard in a pot? It's behind you as you are dead heading. It's beautiful x
I just discovered your channel and just love your style!
I planted a David Austin James Galway and a Emily Bronte rose in my garden this year, and neither have bloomed. Maybe they need more sunlight? I am not sure. I will give them another year to see how they do before I move them.
Hi mandy I just noticed your comment. I too have James Galway. It is a rose that can tolerate some shade and mine only gets about 4 or 5 hours a day and is still flowering now. The other James Galway I have is in the sun and although there were more flowers, the flowers finished ages ago. I also have Emily bronte and its her first year in my garden as a bare root from November. Beautiful rose but is in the sun for quite a while. The best flowering rose for shade in my garden is the generous gardener. It grows very fast though and its only its 2nd year in my garden and is a little more than I can handle as it grows so fast. The downfall with this rose is that it drops its petals after 2 or 3 days of opening and can make quite a mess. It's a good bloomer though. I think that's how it got its name... Its very generous xx
@@davenadainton4209 Thank you for your response! I am encouraged by your experience. I forgot to mention that both of my roses were bare root, so perhaps next year I will see much more growth and some flowers. I may look into the Generous Gardener rose since I have a quite large shady area where I would like to grow more flowers.
@@mandylocke96 mortimer sackler is another one to tolerate shade although they've changed its name now. Mine didn't do much this year. First year in my garden though so I need to be patient. I would def hold out to see what James Galway does next year. Mine has only just started throwing out new shoots. It's the 2nd year in my garden. I'd much prefer this rose over the generous gardener. The generous gardener is a big rose to manage. I think it needs an arbour or arch as it's heads nod down, so you miss the blooms unless you are underneath it, if that makes sense. James Galway is, definitely easier to train. . I'm definitely not experienced. I've only had roses for a few years. But I have many David Austin roses. Good luck and enjoy xx
Lovely garden. May I recommend 'Sweet Honey' to you. No scent but otherwise amazing! I paid £7 for mine! ATB, Gav
This is one I'd love Gavin. What a great price. Where did you get it from Please

Lovely garden tour. Love your roses. I recently planted Gertrude Jekyll by David Austin. It’s a spectacular rose that you may love. Though it is a pink. I lean toward the pinks also. To fill the n the gaps perhaps some annuals or I love lavender in the garden. It’s great for bringing the pollinators in. Thanks for the fantastic tour. 🌸
Ýes Gertrude and Lavender look lovely together. The scent of G.is the best ever. I find her quite tricky though and keep having to bring her back from chronic fatigue!! Think she needs moving. Had her in a pot for a few years.
@@cynthiastogden7000 hope your Gertrude revives herself. I do agree on the scent. Really a fantastic old Rose fragrance. I am seeing a few buds preparing for a second flush, so it’s very exciting. Thanks for your reply Cynthia.
If your Pilgrim rose is a climber you can train it to go over the door and the window xx with climbers you can use the fan effect so main canes can go to the left and to the right and then you with get lateral growth from the canes. Lovely video xxx

Your roses are breathtaking! Thank you for sharing them , and for your tips on growing roses ! Very helpful. I’d love to learn about your rain barrel . What you think of yours , how to use it , any tips ? I really want to get one . I look forward to each video you make !!
How beautiful, I have been trying to get the Mary 🌹 rose, my mum passed away recently and now they are not available for a few months 😞 does anyone know where you can get a Burma star rose ? For the U.K.? My grandfather was a fepow and I am desperate to get one
❤lovely gardens😊😊since UK has a very wet & humid weather due to global warming, u need a greenhouse to protect all your DA roses from Black spot , Powdery Mildew & Kanker😊 buy a good fungicide ya or grow resistant varieties to sub-tropical weather in summer like # Evelyn by DA, # Duftjewel , # Fragrant Cloud, # Fragrant Plum, # Prosperity etc😊
Good luck!
Liming with dolomites can neutralize a very acidic clay soil & u need to dig deep to remove all clay & dump in sandy compost with well drainage one ya😊
Black spot isn't spread by tools. It's everywhere in the air. I wouldn't worry. Roses hate competition. Don't under-plant roses in pots or in the ground with anything at all. It will slow them right down.
