Yes, here in Ohio, while the weather was cold, the buds opened agonizingly slow, but then the temperatures went up to between 90 and 95 degrees fahrenheit for more than an entire week and everything speeded up. 4:34 Oh yes, my first 30 years gardening, I was spontaneous, everything together with no regard to color, but now, especially with spring bulbs, I premeditatedly coordinate colors, and for me, that is 90% of the various colors are what I call the "theme" colors, in sync with each other, and 10% is an accent color out of sync with the other colors to grab the viewer's eye. For example, 90% pink and red tulips with 10 % strong canary yellow, and just as lanscape painters guide the viewers eye towards whatever the artist wishes to emphasize, we too can use sparing amounts of accent colors in the garden to draw the eye towards whatever we may wish to emphasize, it may be a birdbath, a garden sculpture, garden seat, whatever. All that said though, the charm of the English cottage garden is it's natural, seemingly unplanned composition, however, a proper cottage garden is well thought out, but looks natural. In my opinion, a proper English cottage garden warms my heart to see moreso than the gardens of grand estates. 6:33 The Bliss Parfuma glows, as if a lantern is inside of the blooms! 8:12 Alas! First Crush is about to get crushed, or as Vita Sackville West would say "hoicked" 😆😆 8:42 Wellenspiel, Nice! Stuffed to the gills with petals, I love high petal count, nice pink also. 10:06 I suspect also that excessive rain/fog/atmospheric moisture also prevents them opening. It's as if dry air is needed to dry and therefore shrink the outer petals in order to pull away and allow inner petals to open up, globular roses being the worst in this matter. But I LOVE GLOBULAR, high petal count roses. I being an antiquarian call them Victorian, Redoute, cabbage form, those who have no interest in the past would call the form a "throwback". 11:58 I may be wrong, but I sense that David Austin shies away from the "danger zone", the danger zone being poor performance that will disgust customers and also avoiding roses that will not bloom until after the second year, whereas Kordes is all out infatuation with soul meltingly beautiful form. My Paschmina Verands is one example of a Kordes rose that quickly fell out of favor with the public because in prolonged wet weather, it's buds will not open. For that reason, I keep her in a massive pot, if rain is excessive, she goes under the roof. Same with Earth Angel/Herzegovina Christiana, excessive wet weather, her flowers will not open. Connoisseur roses,for those willing to work with troubles, not roses for the general public. 12:26 Amadeus, gorgeous beyond words, that would not happen in Ohio, she would freeze down to about 3 feet or lower above the ground. 14:02 Wedding Piano, now THAT is over the top gorgeous. I generally have no interest in white, too much like a blank sheet of paper, but HERE, the white via shading, raking light shows the romantic form most gorgeously and that faint tinge of green, like in Paschmina, that seems to show up in Kordes roses somewhat often, I wonder what ancestor imparts that pale green blush? Long lasting flowers, just like Paschmina, some ancestor that I am sure that Kordes will not reveal imparts that pale green wash and longevity of flowers. With Paschmina, the blooms eventaully dry up, tuen brown and they are still hanging on, finally I trim them off, but fascinating though. I am sure that bright overcast shows the green much better than full sunshine. On my computer, the green is showing to perfection. Alas! I have writtten another "chapter" for a book, had no plan to do so. Thank you For the gorgeous show and tell! Ralph in Ohio.

Your roses are gorgeous. I'm thinking of trying a parfuma rose in container in zone 10(California)--do you believe it should fare well or any advice? Thank you & love your channel❤

Gorgeous! Your garden is inspiring!

Wow to Wedding piano! Love the Eden too. I have Pretty in Pink Eden and I just bought Eden Red. I too have limited space to add climbers so I have to control myself and not be tempted.

Timeless charisma so pretty

Which fertilisers do you use for the roses and why?

Very impressive roses. Eden rose has very distinctive display, even in my garden among other roses. I have pink Eden (pretty in pink Eden) first blooms bursting to open in next few days. Thanks for sharing such beautiful roses.

Just to confirm I, too, have had blooms forming over weeks and weeks only to eventually open completely spent, leaving no choice but to dead head them straight away. Most disappointing. However, on a completely different subject....did we travel all the way to Germany, through torrential rain, have many of us seen either Tantau's or Kordes' Headquarters , I doubt it. Will we appreciate seeing your videos of both visits? Absolutely! You always make the magic happen, and 'we' are content with the content, so there you have it Lovely Videographer, in your wonderful Garden of Eden. 😊😊🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹😊😊

First Crush never did well for me, finally shovel pruned and replaced with Mary Ann

Bliss Parfuma looks stunning!

I've added fruity parfuma, Bliss and timeless purple, and I absolutely love them. I want to add more, but they look quite big with you, and im limited on space now 🥺 I have got tropicana by tantau this year, and oh my, its absolutely stunning. It reminds me of a peach princess Charlene de Marco with a fragrance to match. I got mine from Henry Street and you need this one 😁 The comments I have had on that one is incredible, and it's extremely healthy, too. Go on, Jay Jay, you know you want to get her 😂

Greetings from Kentucky Jay Jay. Your roses are beautiful as ever. You mentioned some of roses are staying in bud for months because of the cooler weather in the UK. Mine in this crazy heat and dryness are opening and fading within one day sadly. I'm glad you said that you can grow a climber rose as a shrub rose in a pot. Your rose Amadeus is breathtakingly beautiful against your house! I also really loved the rose Wellenspiel. Thanks for the tour of your roses, James

I see the green on Wedding Piano, wish I could get one but not in the U.S. I am shocked to hear that you can't make the magic happen for Kordes---I thought you were Wizard of All! LOL! All I expect to see is whatever roses were there that you saw. While the gardens are lovely at D.A., it just isn't something I can have at my house unless I win the lottery & take on a staff of lanscapers, rose experts & forest management experts (this would be nice but quite miraculous, as I do not play the lottery). But one or 2 beautiful roses I can get, & most Kordes roses can be found here in the states. So do not agonaize over the Kordes video, just be sure it starts w/ your "lovely viewer" & we shall all be content.

Sorry that your Parfuma roses have been disappointing with their flowering - is it connected with the recent short-lived heatwave? I noticed that the roses on my Alpine Sunset have developed much faster than I expected or hoped over the past week. But generally the DA roses don't seem to have been affected in the same way, and in addition the DA roses seem to have performed better than usual over the past month with the cooler temperatures - even my wife has commented on that. Your Amadeus is looking eye-sockingly amazing, and the Piano Wedding is looking great (just a pity you seem to have put a green filter on your lens while filming them - that was rather careless Jay Jay). I seem to have read somewhere that Bonica is widely planted in parks (probably in the US) because it is prolific and bullet-proof - and I can certainly see why, looking at your example. The Queen of Sweden just doesn't seem to want to be held back, does she? I was thinking of cutting mine back drastically too, to keep it in check, but that's clearly not going to work. Mind you, your Gabriel Oak is competing on the height front - and I am grateful my two are happy to be medium height. I went to two garden centres today - the first had lots of black-spot and hardly any flowers, so that almost put me off growing roses. The second had lots of healthy roses with flowers - my wife and I both loved the look and scent of Wollerton Old Hall, but that's not the climber I want, and we saw Bring Me Sunshine and Ozeana, which are on my list of possibles, but unfortunately they did not have convincing enough examples to clinch a deal. Don't beat yourself up about the Kordes video - whatever you can show will be appreciated - you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear as they say.

Beautiful rose.

Fantastic Parfuma collection mate. That Piano and Gabriel are stunning. You are right that Dark Desire wouldn’t last longer only 3 days in proper shape. Amadeus look fantastic.

Wedding piano is stunning!!!🤩 Ps:I’m not Eric😅

Everything is looking so beautiful in your garden, thanks for the tour. Wedding Piano is stunning and only one year old, that is a very happy rose ! Eden is beautiful so pretty and has taken to shrub pruning very well, she looks very happy too. The weather this year has definitely been difficult for the garden. Thanks again for the lovely tour, looking forward to the Kordes video, take care.

Your roses are really beautiful. ❤😊

Hi Jay Jay, could it or could it not be a soil issue? I don't have First Crush but all my roses are planted in dark rich soil, I feed them horse manure and they seem to love it! Your Wedding Piano is magnificent and the green is absolutely stunning! Mine gave me 3 very healthy roses, but it's still a baby. Although the leaves are lush, no sign of a second flush yet. I'm going to get Gabriel Oak, it's so beautiful! Congratulations, you've a spetacular rose collection, bye🌹

Hey Jay Jay, I think it’s because of the weather, here we had these weird April Frosts, some needed a cut back, others don’t but with the Temperatures in May and till last week barely above 20c and at night a few times at 5c and barely above 10c they were in buds till this week, now we have above 30c and everything get’s fried…🙈🙈🙈I think this one will also not be a good Rose Year….😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 Like we already said …they market their Roses completely different then DA, mostly over Gardencenters and the Internet and supplying the big Garden Centers with Roses mean thousands of Roses each year….

Lovely collection there Jay. Been a strange year for sure. As you know my Brother Cadfael having it's best year ever and about 50 buds/flowers and of course it's very strong scent. Now Retired by DA which baffles me!

Hi Jay, I do have a first crush at home-half sun location. I didn’t count how many days the flower stays but it’s okay 👌. Constance Mozart(first crush) has very strong stems and takes a lot of space. Is the parfuma rose corner too less direct sunlight? Because when I look at the plants (not only the flower), they are not big enough. The new branches are thin.

Hi Jay Jay, I was anxiously waiting on your Kordes visit video. Your video on your Tantau visit was fantastic. If I missed your Kordes video forgive me.

Great timing Jay jay as I'd just put the kettle on for a cup of coffee. Always like a rose tour. The weather has definitely affected our plants this year. My hanging baskets haven't spilled out the way they normally do by the end of June.

Love kordes roses find they hold up to the sun the best and best for health 🌞 but you can't beat the romance of a david austin roses still the best

I'm sure the rose will thank you for your effort. P.

Ah ha, that is a great tip, I have several roses that came to me from my less-than-favorite grower that are one-sided or even flat, but this will help get them shaped up!

Too often I am iclined to let things happen instead of making things happen, so far as plant management. Weeding and insect elimination I am relentless like bulldog, but growth, I am too laissez faire.

Thanks for the great tip, Jay Jay. I have some roses that are growing that way. The weather in North Ayrshire is atrocious tonight with even stronger winds than there was recently, so I'm expecting some damage to my roses. I'll still keep my fingers crossed though. Have a great weekend.

Nice sharing

Enjoyed the video. Can you tell me what the orange rose is at 6.49 before you scan around? Thanks.

Hi Jay , Maybe I missed it but what is the name of the pink rose around the statue?

I’m not here for the blooms either, you’re giving us loads of great insight not only into roses You are honest sincere friendly with truly natural flow of speaking It’s always good to listen to you , thank you 😊 Keep it up 👍🏻

Good idea.

Sorry, I could hardly pay attention to what you were saying b/c I was so distracted by your gorgeous, lush roses, love the Kordes Parfuma line, Earth Angel, Summer Romance, Pr.Alexandra, I have them all & I hope that one day mine will be as gorgeous as yours! Loved the Tantou video, can't wait for the Kordes to pop up, going to go check on the cte garden & a dog to see what you bought her. Speaking of dogs---how is Seanie (Shawnie?), haven't seen him, is he OK? You are having a Bad Car month but hope all that is fixed.

Really informative, thank you for explaining that process Jay Jay Excellent 👍🥰🌹🌹🌹🥰

وردات جميلة جدآ 🩵🌷🧡

As a German, I can comment on the style of garden actually. It is a very oldschool 50s-60s style of gardening, in the postwar period it was all about an orderly garden with a few insects as possible and an accurate lawn. Bees, insects, wildflowers were considered disorderly and not encouraged. This trend continued into the 70s with other plants introduced that are easy to manage and don’t harbour a lot of birds or insects such an conifers, cherry laurel etc. We are still dealing with the leftovers of those. In the 2000s, especially with the campaign „save the bees“ there is a return to more natural gardening but it is still a long way. But yes, Tantau didn’t get the memo yet!

Wow! I was so excited to see this video because I am planning to order few roses from Tantau and this helps a lot to finally order what I want. It looks better to see the rose plant even in a video compared to looking at a catalogue. I am after of the new rose called ‘Creme Brûlée, very beautiful colour. Starlet Eva and Ozeana are already in my wish list. Some of the roses that they planted there are the ones which are popular and got a lot of international recognitions. I got already some of them in my garden and I’m not surprised if you choose Hansestadt Rostock, it has incredible colour, it’s glowing and beautiful even in the evening. Well done Jay Jay! You made a lot of rose lovers happy with this video.🌹🌹🌹

I commented about this on Rose Geeks..asked people to subscribe...I think some did.❤
