I’m so glad that Chandos has worked out for you. You’re lucky to be able to get one, it’s very had to find in US and many people are looking for it.

Thanks for the kind words. Growing roses is addictive!

I give a good layer of compost, plus plant-tone , alfalfa, and seaweed

@@GardenGlimpses-NorCal Thank you so much. I used compost and my roses are thriving. So I'm on the right track. Beautiful roses, most of all, they are strong. I love them so much. Thanks for sharing your ideas and talents.

@ I’m glad your roses are doing well. I’ve nothing against chemical fertilizers, but I think compost helps build better soil over time so I always try to be generous with it.

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for the kind words

Neil is my very favorite, too! What part of the country do you live in? Is your plant in sun or shade? Is black spot the main issue, or do you think it’s something else?

It really is Jude, several people have remarked that it’s too pink to be Jude, but I assure most of the time my blooms are not that pink and look just like everyone else’s Jude (and I’ve seen many other people’s Judes!)

Best wishes on your new Ebb Tide. Sterling Silver is the rose peeking in on the corner, I made a separate video on her

Thank you, it’s one of my favorites

Quite different, Yua is old damask rose, Masora is fruit and tea.

@GardenGlimpses-NorCal thanks

Thank you! Cheers!

Statice - Limonium Perezii

Thanks for the kind words

I have a mix of own root, grafted on Fortuniana, Dr Huey and Multiflora. I will take a plant however they are available ! They all do quite well, but I think I’d choose grafted over own root.

Hello Neighbor! I think my roses are probably planted too close, about 3-4 ft apart and they could certainly use more. My lot is on a court so just about .3 acres, much bigger than typical for Elk Grove, I’ve got about 170 rosebushes and maybe a dozen fruit trees, and very little lawn!

I think spinosad products are best for thrips, and relatively ok for the environment. For spider mites, hard water spray first, if that doesn’t do it, Forbid 4F is a good miticide.

I think they are holding up decent. My plant is still relatively young, but I can tell the bloom have decent substance and are held tightly

Just OK. Really nice spring flush, there’s some repeat but it could be better.

I think bloom size is 3-4 inches (my plant is still young). I have heard disease resistance is decent, but we don’t get much blackspot here . Best of luck with your plant!

What a wonderful collection you have! I thought the Austins would do well in Britain since they were bred and trialed there, many of them are too fragile for my hot California climate. Best wishes on your garden and thanks for the kind words.

@@GardenGlimpses-NorCal the Austin’s droop in rain ( right now 100% rain is there 2 days now )& when not raining they still look down.. since 2016 3 are there out of 9 .. i also have jaques cartier rose, conditorum red rose,centifolia pink rose, frou Carl druschki white rose ,big purple rose,Julia’s rose, 100’s more..many old Austin’s are discontinued because of not surviving in continuous wet weather & drooping habit.. i totally admire your collection .. i left a jaques cartier of 23 yrs. massive display at London house.. now live in green countryside 20 miles away from London.. i had to move & didn’t think of that particular one to take it with me.. but the rest of the big garden came with me from there £500 for the hired van.. i miss it

@@GardenGlimpses-NorCalI have rose du roi too

@@GardenGlimpses-NorCal l also have rose mrs John Laing, Monica baloochi too

I think Abe is one of the best all around Austins if you consider beauty of the flower, fragrance, great repeat . I noticed DA brought back several of their oldies, which is great.

I think Impressionist is a more special color and form. Elle is a much better plant, greater repeat, better fragrance , better habit and more disease resistant. So I guess it depends what your priorities are.

Thank you so much 🙂

Thank you!

Thank you!

Just 2nd year at my garden when I did the video, Bolero blooms heavy even when young!

Thank you. Maybe check Etsy?

I’m happy you have this rose, too. It is one of my old favorites, I have grown it in many houses over many years, and it still impresses me.

Thank you. Parfum Royale came from Palatine.

My California garden doesn’t really need spray, but when I lived in Texas I sprayed with propriconazole and mancozeb for blackspot.

150 new roses is alot at one time! I have about 180 total, hard to do a wide shot because they’re all over the place.

It really is the more typical beige apricot, but gets a pink tint in spring.

I would say blooms are 3.5-4.5”. They don’t last long but fragrance and repeat are very good. Yes, Gartentraume in Germany, Enchantress in Britain. I’m glad you grow it as well, overall a very good variety

@@GardenGlimpses-NorCal oh ok that’s quite big then. I hope it repeats more for me. Thank you.

Hello! I have heard Gabriel , Lucifer and Ji Se all have excellent fragrance and similar color, but I have yet to try them personally. Lucifer is.reportedly very difficult to grow, cannot stand rain (perhaps perfect for us Californians tho?) . My friend has all 3 and says her most fragrant Japanese rose is Kaoruno, an apricot pink. Yes, would be great to visit SoCal gardens !

@@GardenGlimpses-NorCal Hi Ben, Sebastian here, nice to officially introduce names. I will send you an email sometime with my number so we can connect.You're like an encyclopedia for roses,, it really is quite incredible the amount of knowledge and experience you have with them! I went ahead and pulled the trigger for the Lucifer rose on Etsy, just because it rarely rains down here. I didn't see the Kaoruno listed ye but I know you will get it soon and tell me all about it =) I do need to re home about 8 roses that are just not as fragrant as I like and I have no clue what to do with them. All my roses are in large 15 gallon pots and none of the neighbors have a green thumb or want to at least give it a try. It's crazy to me how many people think roses are so difficult to care for... When literally you just do a deep watering once a week and fertilize once a month and keep them in a sunny spot and they are happy and thrive without any problems!

Hi Sebastian, great to know your name! I sort of guessed it wasn’t Killian Winterfell 😂. Hope your roses are enjoying the great fall weather. First , sorry for the very late post, I had wrote earilier but just realized that it did not post properly. I look forward to hearing how Lucifer does for you! My friend who grows Gabriel, Ji Se and another of the light lavenders says that the fragrances are extremely pleasant, but not powerful like a Sugar Moon or Patsy Cline. Try Facebook Marketplace if you can’t rehome the less fragrant varieties elsewhere, I think you can buy or sell anything there 😅. I think we’re both fortunate to live in CA where rose care is easy, folks in the north, south and west have to worry about hardiness and disease I grew roses for many years in TX where we have to spray every few weeks. Thanks for the kind words on my garden and experience. At one time I was approached to eventually take over as curator of The Huntington’s rose gardens, it was an amazing opportunity but just didn’t fit with some other things I was trying to get accomplished.

Thanks for the kind words!

PJPII blooms more heavy, repeats faster. Sugar Moon resists weather better, and is the ultimate in fragrance. Both very nice.

Compost, plant tone, seaweed, miracle-gro

Yes, fragrance is just above average, not strong, and it’s a myrhh scent, not my personal favorite. But I might like its coloring better than any other of my 170 varieties.

Wow that’s saying a lot, if it’s your favourite colour amongst all your varieties. I have aquarell, the colour sport of augusta luise, and it’s not the same colour as the impressionist but I think in terms of range of colour, it’s similar. It goes from yellow to pink to orange

@@chaotungng660 Color is really special!

Yes, in fall she turns into an octopus! I cut them short during spring pruning.

This is Claire Rose (AUSlight) not Claire Austin (AUSprior)

I’d do one but heat waves keep messing with my blooms!

@@GardenGlimpses-NorCal ok, hopefully you get some cooler weather soon!

I agree nice form,great fragrance. Mine keeps sending out big long canes does yours? Hoping it will settle down next year!

@@GardenGlimpses-NorCal yes one of mine sent out a long cane.

I could do one next spring, plant is still quite young

Mine is just under 5 ft, so maybe next year I will train to climb

Just a matter of preference, Elle is consistently higher quality, SD blooms more and more fragrant, but both overall excellent

Lasting quality is very good on Elle , good firm petals

Thank you, I think Sterling Silver still has among the best color and fragrance among lavenders

Thank you! 😊

I would say this is a long lasting variety, maybe 5-6 days in a vase

Hope you have a speedy recovery, thanks for the kind words
