- I'm starting to grow a flower garden in my yard. The daffodils were already here, but I'm planting roses. Support the channel: / suburbanhomestead or buy my art www.etsy.com/s...
I want to grow more flowers in my garden together with my vegetables. I planted a hedge of rose bushes in the sunny front yard.

I grow flowers, for pollenators. We need them now more than ever.
Who knew you were a "bee whisperer", LOL. Your videos always make me feel peaceful.
These bees are very peaceful, especially in cooler mornings
Thank you Siloe for your serene videos full of strong content, pensive musings, gentle photography and music, your dulcet voice and personality, but especially for the empowering encouragement of your approach, instructive information, and the cottage garden intuition that truly feeds fellow gardeners. I lived in northern California for forty years raising four sons. In my fifties I finally had time to pay attention to my neglected tiny backyard surrounded by ugly privacy fences and dominated by a monster eucalyptus tree in my neighbors yard that sucked up sun and showered down pungent acorn like things. When the neighbor bargained to remove the eucalyptus in exchange for me removing a small front yard tree, there was a flood of sunshine like realization never before imagined. You're correct about what grows in California. The black adobe soil is so rich my farmer father visiting from Georgia said my dirt could fertilize his veggie garden. In spring [Feb there] I put down angel trumpets, an elderberry, a lemon tree, buddleias and several roses. All these were giants that ate New York in one season. The angel trumpet was 10 feet high and wide, the elderberry the same. A one gallon climbing geranium covered my air conditioner compressor. A Cecile Brunner rose gobbled up a 10 ' W X 6' H screen my son built. A potato vine scampered down the side fence like a squirrel. Another rose drowned a little arbor. My lemon tree was a cosmos of little tart planets. I had rosemary and basil and sweet alyssum and four oclocks [that devil was so invasive, I dug up 2 five gallon buckets of the black roots in a 2' by 4' space where I put flagstone as a floor for the arbor.] Wow. and tomatoes and peppers and cucumbers were so excited to grown among runner beans and marigolds and penstemon. Dogwoods, hydrangeas, okra not so good. When I retired and returned to SC, I was expecting the same result in my upstate dirt. Roses that burgeoned in California were crabbed and tortured and mutilated by the climate. Citrus is impossible. A Cecile Brunner still arches and reaches but not in great floral performances. Iceberg roses do well, but others barely produce. Hydrangeas explode here. And gardenias and azaleas, crape myrtles, ornamental cherry trees, dogwood, okra, melons, basil and rosemary and oregano and dill go to town. Its
Hello from NZ. Flowers also attract beneficial insects which control pests, diseases, and help with pollination.
Enjoy your channel very much; so many skills in such a young person.
I'm really excited to see how those rose bushes, not to mention the rest of your garden, grow in the coming years.
Hello Siloé! Roses have always been my favorite and I believe they are so forgiving, of course understanding their needs they will survive for decades. My grandma Loved red roses, when she past I dedicated a bed that took me two weeks to dig because of the rocky soil I have here. I personally Love Hot Pink but those wouldn’t go well with red so I put two anchors of faint pink almost beige antique roses. That was over 20 years ago. At my mom’s home I planted one called St Joseph Staff, ranges in color from pink, peach to yellow, that one was planted when I was in high school, (over 42 years ago) and it still there. ☺️ I go every year and put fertilizer but that’s pretty much it. I wish you a wonderful time planning and planting your wonderful garden. I will patiently wait for it to come together. Until next time take care! 😉🐝
Thank you. I hope I have as much luck this time with the roses as you have had
You and the bee . . So precious ❤️
Roses love the potassium from banana skins. You can put it in the hole with the rose or chop them up and scatter on top of the soil. Good luck!
That maple tree is absolutely breathtaking!!
I'm really happy you're doing videos on flowers as well as vegetables! I want to slowly start adding flowering perennials near my new house, and these videos are just right to inspire me!
I know you film during the year and edit the videos now during the winter. Please film a full garden tour this year, so we can all see it when you get around to posting it!
I love your videos and I'm very excited for every new addition to your new garden. Please don't get discouraged by the new YT algorithm and keep up the good work! Good luck!
Loved your daffodils, one of my favorite flowers and yours are just so pretty. Mine are also left over from past owners, and you are too right about them being sturdy things. When my husband first moved in he did a lot of dirt work in the back yard, and all the flower beds got upset, tossed around, and then buried under terraces to make the steep grade more usable. The next year he found daffys done the hill from the fence, where the neighbors said they had never grown before. There must have been a few bulbs that got tossed down in the construction and survived, because now we have them dotted all through the trees.
I spent about 5 years searching for a rose variety from my childhood home. I looked through many books and rose gardens in multiple cities and finally found them, Chicago peace rose, last year and love them so much! Their scent brings me instant nostalgia and delight. Although they are pretty common, I had a bit of difficulty when looking for them because they tend to grow and look different in other areas where they were photographed for instance from those in the pacific northwest where I am.
Another bonus about roses and some other flowers is that they are edible and can be used at home for teas and baths for instance. I love growing flowers and herbs that I can make teas with. :)
Hard work getting that grass out. I've done a lot of the same over the years and dug many, many planting holes through hard clay and tree roots, too. Just a couple of years ago, I discovered the "Root Slayer" digger-shovel tool and now wouldn't be without it. I did manage to crack the handle on it some kind of way last year but it still worked fine. When it finally does break forever, I'll go straight out and buy another one or find someone who can create a new handle for it. That's how much I appreciate having this tool and the hard work it performs for me.
Good Luck with your roses. They'll be beautiful. I've read that the lavender Knock Out rose is scented. It would be great to find that one and add it in. Double Delight (Hybrid Tea) is our most favorite beautiful and most richly scented rose. Somehow, it has survived with us here in zone 5b for 20 years. Other roses of different types have come and gone but Double Delight comes back from the bud knuckle every year.
Flowers are ahmazing ❤❤
You can grow some roses happily in partial shade (just check thier preference). If you have sandy soils, you can amend with manure. Roses love clay, which drains horribly.
I love Gardening for many reasons. Food is an extra bonus for me. I scored many double knock off roses las year. They did pretty well, but Japanese beetles can be pretty harsh on them.
Bees seems to like you.😄🤗
Your videos are very insightful and inspiring.
Thanks for sharing!
❤🙏
Thanks, and happy gardening.
There is a rose for just about any garden. Some like sand, most like clay. All love loads of sun, but some are fine with some shade. Some grow in zone 3 some in zone 10. It's really just about figuring out which ones do best in your area. Once they're established, blackspot rust etc can make the leaves look a bit sad, but they will still flower away like crazy! Just don't plant them, where there have been roses growing within the last 7-8 years. That said, I'm happy there are rose breeders who are trying to produce new improved healthy cultivars.
your soil looks beautiful. i'm excited to watch your garden grow
I look forward to seeing your roses bloom! My favourite scented climbing rose is the Albertine - I have loved it since being a child, when my swing was next to a fence laden with rose blossoms. Sadly, it is very prone to blackspot here in the damp UK, but I persevere with it just to have the joy of those first blooms of summer.
I live here in Oklahoma, and I swear that my mother can plant ANY variety of roses and have it grow like it was ment too, strong and beautiful. I plant the same roses and have to deal with black spot because our humidity in the summer. I think my moms a rose witch😅😒
By the way, I am immersed in your videos now, just discovering you this week while I am contemplating turning my backyard lawn into a cottage garden. You are by far the one presenter and artist that resonates with my own intuitive gardening. Thank you so much for who you are and what you share of yourself as gardener, artist, and fellow earthling.
Great content. Love this
I live in Yorkshire U.K. and it is cold but too much but still but we have many roses 🌹
Never cut down daffodils leaves after flowering; always allow them to die off naturally. I plant for birds, bees and butterflies and try to have something all year round. Rugosas roses are tough, tough, tough and their rosehips benefit the birds in winter. Rugosas are shrub roses and are treated just like shrubs.
That is what I’ve been doing with these
Awesome
Daffodils are great gopher deterrents!
Have double knockout roses here in Idaho, zone 7. They perform so beautifully, blooms all season.
WOW I wish I could handle bumble bee's like that. I turn into a ninja whenever I hear buzzing sounds so I keep a healthy distance.
I love your fashion sense as much as your garden and interior design. Where do you get your clothes??
Great videos..love to watch...here i have a suggestion..
If any plant is having rot issues, it is with calcium deficiency..
You can make vinegar and eggshell liquid..or calcium carboante and acitic acid vinegar liquid..search as water soluble calcium...i gorw everything without rot n with calcium
Right plant right place is always good advice. Great video!
Have you tried lavender? I just transplanted 3 lavenders and am feeling excited/anxious, hoping they will take.
Please do more flower from seed, flowers from scatter method etc, if you find them interesting.
Seepk brother! Without those flowers and bees where with be! Great video! You awesome!
First off, I love how you relate to nature. I have always been fascinated with bumble bees -- I can (literally!) watch them for hours! They are such gentle, peaceful creatures.....are they not? So I was really happy to see you interacting with that bumble bee, who seemed less than worried about the human who had lifted him up off the grass. :) Ok, now to that absolutely beautiful Japanese maple in your front yard! WOW! I've never personally seen one that large; it is truly gorgeous! And while you were digging the ground for the roses (which - I agree, the Knock Out variety does seem to be the easiest to grow, as I have had luck with 2 of them so far, and I'm certainly no expert....or even amateur rose gardener!....but have been able to keep 2 alive at the bottom of our driveway, against a block retaining wall which seems to keep them safe from excess wind and also nice and warm), I noticed those cute little grape hyacinths that will continue to multiply in your lawn. So pretty! :)
Linda Knittel I love watching bees too! I always pet the big bumblebees in my garden. They are so cute and fluffy!
Such beautiful artistic shots. I love your films❤️
I adore knock-out roses. They are quite beautiful and very easy to care for. Just look out for the dreaded rose-rosette disease.
Soil looks amazing!
Just found your channel & fell in love with the content. Your new youtube friend.
Welcome friend. Hope you stay
Great day, Siloé!
I'm with you there at about the 3:00 mark. I don't understand those who say that working towards the beautiful is somehow not a part of purpose or utility.
10:18 what a beautiful scene ❤
Love it
so where are you in the world? its dead winter where I am hahaha
This is so inspirational!! I want to plant some roses so bad!! They cost quite a bit so I haven’t been able to buy any. I will get some though. I love Morden sunrise! She smells beautiful and grows really well here in southern Idaho. Will Baffin is a nice rose too. I don’t know if you can grow those or not. We don’t have humidity here we have dry dessert weather.
If you know someone with a rose bush you can take a branch and propagate one.
Barbara Dumler I have heard of this, but how long does it take to actually get flowers from it? Maybe I am too impatient.
@@10xfarmstead85 Mike Kincaid on you tube does many videos on plant propagation. Here's one link to get you started. th-cam.com/video/lbuFIGrcf1k/w-d-xo.html
Your videos are always such a comfort and just when I need them.
Oh, and I was also wondering if you were familiar with the History Bounding and Historybounders Facebook groups as your wardrobe is a great inspiration and I thought you might enjoy the discussions there if you weren't already familiar with it.
Also, I was wondering if you've thought about growing leeks? I've always wanted to grow leeks as leek soup has a fantastic taste but I have struggled with growing them in the past so I'd be very eager to see how they do for you.
I like tickling bumbles when they're sleepy!
I don't suppose you will read newer comments on old videos, but you want to clear grass for about a metre around your roses let nothing grow anywhere near it. Keep the area clear in the future. Grass will outcompete the roses for nutrients. You cannot overwater a rose.
Thanks for the tips!
Hhh I tried to gently push with my toe a seemingly dead bee once, she bit the hell out of me... You are a brave man
In terms of reducing the likelihood of your roses being affected by diseases, Sarah Raven advocates underplanting with salvias. Hope this helps
Great advice! Thank you for sharing! Please enjoy my recent Plumeria Garden tour when you have time.
I once had these beautiful peach colored roses but people picked the flowers and then eventually the plants died of blackspot fungus
menacing squirrels left me only daffodils :(
You do videos at this red house and a beige colored house, they are both so beautiful, do you live in 1 and your mother in another? Or are they the same just painted a different color?
There’s so extremely aggressive roses like treasure trove and kiftsgate. I live in rose-heaven so I’m afraid to plant them. I wonder if they might be just right in adverse conditions.
👍
I had roses. Then I got a Husky 🤣
very loose and fertile land, they will grow well there.
thank you Siloe the video is wonderful. What is the name of the song that on the hook says "danza danza la palabra vida" ? Sorry I only know Spanish not Portuguese and that's the only words I understand :) pls let me know, its been stuck on my head for days!!
I’m glad you liked it. It is called “Seringueira.” That line goes:”dança a valsa da palavra vida” . I have not released that song yet, so you can only find the fragments used in my newer videos. I wanted to release it as part of a second album if I get to 100k subscribers as a celebration. But that may take a while, with the way the algorithm has been going. Unless the channel has a stroke of luck.
suburban homestead this algorithm is getting crazy! I’ve noticed TH-cam unsubscribed me from some of my favorite channels and I don’t always get notifications when there’s a new video 🧐 not cool. I can’t wait to hear the new album and specially that song so I’ll make sure to share the videos to get to 100k soon! Thanks for replying, blessings!
Did he just pick up a bee?
Hello
I'm doing a suburbanFlix haha... can you speak Portuguese? as I heard in a previous video a Brazilian song I thought you would might be able!
LOL Claro que sim. Sou brasileiro.
Que bacana, I really like your old garden, now with more space you can make a garden even better, and don't forget to plant basil it is really good, I have a gander as well with some fruit trees!
is it just me or is grass more of a weed than the weeds
grass can be quite annoying.
