What an amazing place. I just ordered the Winnipeg rose yesterday, and I'm really glad I did seeing it in action blooming away. Hope, I can get it established before winter. Thank you for the video.
Its a pleaure to see this video,I cant imagine how many work was putted to reborth the hidden secret garden.I do love Austin roses,they so special but I do belive we should more appritiate work of canadian expert and enthusiasts rose breeders.Thats just crazy how they handle to create such a hardiness roses,and they also very pretty. So bad here in Eastern Europe we can buy only Explorer and Morden series,and sometimes something from rugosas.The spinosissima hybrids are also beautiful,but there is no chance to find them. Thank you for sharind this video ☺️
Holy Cow! As soon as I saw @15:57 the David Austin, “The Ambridge Rose”, I think at last, my 12 yr.old+ rose which I haven’t been able to get identified is THIS☝️! The Bloom is exact & the leaflets 95% Positive, are the same. I guess it’s not 💯 % since this is an older model TV, I’m seeing it on, but it SURE looks so much like mine. It’s been an enigma for 12 years +. I’M THRILLED! It’s a gorgeous Peachy colored rose & what a stunning scent. Now if I can kill-off the dreaded Spotted Lantern-Fly SLF, a Chinese invader which attacked our areas this year, then this rose will be much happier (me too ). Of course the SLF likes roses in addition to so many trees like the MAPLE 🍁. So glad I watched this video when I couldn’t sleep tonight. Jason did it! Yay 😁
This tour made my day. What an amazing amount of work that Rick and volunteers have gotten accomplished. Don't you love it when roses are saved and restored? Those roses being covered under masses of Oregon Grape! I could not possibly pick a favorite, but the rare ones are so wonderful to see. So happy they are being preserved and hopefully propagated.
I have seen another video about the preserving of the old roses you spoke about and very glad this is being done because if these roses have been around and growing without any care they are varieties people should look to for hardy carefree plants and for use as crosses with others to boost health of new varieties and share the vigor of those traits . Thank you so much .
Thanks Jason for a great showcase of this stunning secret garden. The 5-year effort to rejuvenate this prior federal-owned garden is truly admirable. I must visit it soon.
Thank you, Jason, for recording this, and Rick and his volunteers for preserving these roses. How wonderful to see in the Canadian Secret Garden thriving roses I've only seen in books. I can attest to the hardiness and beauty of several in my former zone 4 garden in central Ontario. Especially Gertrude Jekyll, Evelyn, William Baffin, and John Davis.
In Eastern Ontario my favorites were Thérèse Bugnet , super hardy, and Jens Munk, which kept blooming and didn't sucker as aggressively as some hardy roses. The Austins didn't do too well.
Love this, so good to see these rose specialists enthusing over and naming the roses in this lovely garden. Kudos to the volunteers by the way. Many thanks!
Hi Jason, You are in a paradise of roses, you’re lucky! To me roses simply seems to be a world of dreams, so many together must be a fantastic experience. oh well, thank you for the video that brings us lovers of roses close together pursuing this beautiful creation of God. I enjoyed, thank you 🙏
So wonderful! Thank you for sharing how they are rescuing roses to preserve. I wish I had known they were in Okanogan Valley, as we lived in the Okanogan Highlands, just south in the U.S. It would be great to see their collection. Thanks again for sharing! I am particularly interested, as I am working on breeding English Roses crossed with Canadian Roses to gain hardiness.
Another great tour you brought our way! Thank you Jason and Rick for this 😀 I didn't think I would have any of the awesome roses shown here but I ended up having quite a few in my own home!
Perfect example of hardi, surviver roses almost lost and yet still around. Wonderful to see the community really investing time and energy into such a special place.👌 Many people are willing to give $$$, but few give their time. Love seeing this treasure not forgotten.🤙 I guess you are famous now Jason with one of your selections in the Secret Garden. Perhaps you are the new Austin of today!😉
Thanks Jason and thanks to your host. It was an amazing tour ! I wish I was able to visit this beautiful rose garden. I bought Old College rose from Bambooplants. It is amazing peachy English like blooms which suppose to be hardy here in Ottawa. This rose was really difficult to find and I guess not in commerce across Canada. As your host mentioned Old College is a beautiful peachy English style rose for zone 3 !!
Thank you for this tour. It was amazing. Very beautiful. I live in the high desert California and have quite a few old David Austin Roses. One of my favorites is Tradescent.
I never liked roses but I've got some overgrown bushes with sentimental value and felt that I don't know where to start so this video is very encouraging. Thank you so much!
Love the passion, the networking to achieve what's a lovely collection ..the climate (slightly lower temps) seems to allow the roses to achieve the best colours .....as roses which wash out in high temps isn't a good look. Just a little surprised by how close some of those roses are planted, i guess it's managed with pruning ....but i prefer a more natural spreading look. It's almost rose of the year time here in the UK ...get's announced tomorrow ...just hoping it's not yet another florabunda rose.... the rose variety which just keeps on giving....and giving (and giving some more!).
The Wasagaming rose looks amazing! Would love it in my zone 7b - North Carolina yard. Interestingly in your video it looks like Thérèse Bugnet, but they’re dissimilar from what I saw in pictures.
Such a wealth of heritage roses. So many different gardens of them. I think my favorite were the ones that had been hidden for years by the mahonia hedge. Delightful tour!
A dream garden indeed ❤ I certainly won't miss it in my next trip to Okanagan. Why is it so secret? Jason, I plan to visit you tomorrow, & I have a shopping list in hand 😊
The locals sure know about it as it's been an important part of the community - it's just not so widely known outside the immediate community, even within the Okanagan.
When i was a child (40 years or so ago) mom had 60 different fragrant & scented roses. They died from fungal & pest attacks. Now to find a fragrant white rose? I takes me nearly 10 years to locate one!
Hey Jason, got two roses on old rose plants, I watered with Miracle grow (pink) . I put my worm castings in my pot starts, from seed starts. The Leaves are brilliant -good.. As i look out, I've got 6 or seven roses coming out on old roses. I should go to the Rogosa Rose up on the up north lawn! My Rose pots with worm castings, there must be 80 tomato seedlings in each, that's funny. To anyone watching. You can do it! I don't care about the names. Keep trying. -brian
It is super heart warming to know that someone in the world saving the most gorgeous roses that would have been lost forever. I was completely smitten with The Ambridge rose and The Lilak rose. But the challenge is, you can't get them in UK 😢. Would you be able to share reliable nurseries where these could be ordered from and what would be the regulations for plants entering the UK? Much appreciated, thank you
Thanks. That's a real part of the issue is how difficult it is to bring plants from one region to another. It serves a purpose, for sure, but it also keeps Canadian suppliers (for instance) from accessing the larger collections of most US suppliers. Getting things across from NA to Europe (or the other way) is even more challenging.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm these are such challenging times. However, keep doing what you are doing saving once rose at a time and sharing these with the world at least raising awareness of them so that we can hope that one day they will be in our gardens once more :)
Love the Olds Collage rose. Do you know where could I find this variety to purchase? Is it available? After hard pruning my Winnipeg Parks and explorer roses have gone crazy with blooms, despite the cool, wet weather this Spring (or it was supposed to be Spring…). I just added an Oso Easy Hot Paprika a few weeks ago. It’s a wee thing, but also blooming like crazy. Hopefully, it will withstand an Edmonton winter. 🙏🤞🌹
Wonderful tour! We have Golden Celebration but didn’t know it was considered an old rose. Also, wondering if Olds College would do well in containers for zone 5, assuming we can even find one.
This is a shout out for rose Oscar Peterson. It is one of the most 😊relented reblooming roses I have ever had. Very upright, very beautiful and completely immune from any disease.
I so wont Lillian Austin …and The Dark Lady…Jason, great movie! Thank you so much ! Paprika is amazing! How tall is Oso Paprika? hmf says 60cm looks twice as tall ? And soooo… now I need Olds College too
I live in Europe in zone 6b. I have only three DA roses, namely Ausmary, Auscat and Tottering-by-Gently. I am a little afraid that our winters are not suitable for English roses. If I had more space, I would plant the super-healthy and hardy John Cabot bred in Canada by Felicitas Svejda.
I wonder if it’s possible for the gardener to create a fund by propagating these and selling them to maintain the garden and hire more people to care for them(no tax of course). This is like a living Rose museum
Do roses have smaller blooms the first few years you plant them? I just put in two new David Austin roses, and their blooms are much smaller than I expected.
I had a nice collection of rose bushes when I lived in California, but have no idea the names of any of them, my favorite was one whose fragrance reminded me of pepper. Any idea what it might be? I’m planning on getting my daughter another rose for her birthday in July.
Something is going on with my Oso Easy Paprika Rose. It has spread to the rose next to it and a heuchera. How do you tell the difference between disease or pest damage. I can't find any pests on it. Doesn't look like sun damage to me. These roses are older and I cut back earlier in the spring because of damage last year.
I like your videos but I noticed that you mention the fragrance in some cases but not in all. Does that mean that if you don't say anything about the perfume that that rose does not have perfume?
No. More likely it's just the fragrance on some varieties was more notable just came to mind. In general, the Austin roses are fairly well scented. The Canadian shrub roses less-so. The best public reference on this is Helpmefind.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm : There is also a very pronounced personal sensitivity and preference for different rose fragrances. Different people smell or don't smell, and prefer different rose scents. I demonstrate this when I take people through the Summerland Gardens on tours. One person will find a particular rose intensely fragrant, another will find the same rose to be faintly scented, or often unscented. There is also a very well documented gender difference in which rose scents people smell. So as the saying goes, your mileage may vary when it comes to fragrance. The roses I find most fragrant, are what David Austin called the Mhyr scented roses such as Lilac Rose. I also very much like the Damask rose fragrances, such as in Gertrude Jeykll. The English Rose Jayne Austin has a very strong Tea Rose fragrance with just a hint of phenol to my nose, if you can believe it and I think it is heavenly, but others hate it. So it goes, rose fragrance sensitivity is personal and variable. That is why you must stop to smell the roses, and find the ones you love. Cheers, Rick - Summerland Ornamental Gardens
I knew David Austin personally .I left my native England to build an estate in rural Latvia EU. I have 5 acres of land made now into English art and craft gardens in zone 5 . I cannot grow Austin roses here .Alba and Bourbon and John Davis from Canadian research station and many older Kordes roses . Looking for more Canadian roses but Canada will not ship to Europe . World trade what happened to that? You ship roses to Moscow Russia though ???
Sorry - I wish it were easier, but there are international regulations that govern how we would ship roses outside of Canada. I've more often heard that the roses are confiscated or just delayed long enough to kill them - and it's just not practical for a small nursery to take on the risk and costs of administering.
There were a hybridization programm of roses in Latvia a decades ago,there was a decent amount os varieties created by Dr. Dzidra Rieksta.They not as beatiful as Austin roses,but still something.Mostly created with hybrid rugosa,so look is pretty same,the most common variety that even sold in my region is Ritausma aka Polareis.I do know they have good collection on their Botanical garden
They’re different. The registration name of Emily rose is Ausburton, while that of Emily Brontë rose is Ausearnshaw. Emily rose is light pink, while Emily Brontë is soft apricot/light cream.
"It's like putting your nose in a dream." Love that. Also, the shape and style of the bloom is so romantic! Now I want a lilac rose.
Me too. 😁😍
me too. or three. So gorgeous! :)
Me too.
I beg your pardon. I never promised you a rose garden . . . Every time I see roses I remember this song.🌹🌹🌹
This is Jason’s version of ‘going to the mall’ to shop 😃
What an amazing place. I just ordered the Winnipeg rose yesterday, and I'm really glad I did seeing it in action blooming away. Hope, I can get it established before winter. Thank you for the video.
so nice to see all these rare roses! wow I’m floored ❤
Thanks Priti! And all fairly hardy as well.
Wow, I love your channel! I’ve never been to Canada, but I am already so excited to get one of those beautiful Canadian roses!
Its a pleaure to see this video,I cant imagine how many work was putted to reborth the hidden secret garden.I do love Austin roses,they so special but I do belive we should more appritiate work of canadian expert and enthusiasts rose breeders.Thats just crazy how they handle to create such a hardiness roses,and they also very pretty.

I appreciate that the Rose plants are not drowned out by other plants. Easier to see the true beauty.
What a beautiful place. What beautiful mission. I loved seeing roses I never knew about. Thank you. Another great video.
Brilliant work with that old garden...amazing idea ❤️🌹👏🏻
What a beautiful and special place! Thank you both for sharing it with us all! Truly a delight.
Thanks Lorinda. I'm so happy you enjoyed the walk-around!
Beautiful. Wouldn't it be nice if online we could also smell the roses. ❤
Fabulous video! AWESOME collection. I can attest to the hardiness of Morden Blush. Neglected for years...still blooming!
Love this, so good to see these rose specialists enthusing over and naming the roses in this lovely garden. Kudos to the volunteers by the way. Many thanks!
Thanks Jason for the tour of this beautiful rose garden in Canada. I'm sure that there will be more volunteers as time goes by.
wow , what a gorgeous Roses flowers into that garden , enjoy watching this video and thank you .

Holy crap, that Morden Sunrise is a gorgeous color.
So wonderful! Thank you for sharing how they are rescuing roses to preserve. I wish I had known they were in Okanogan Valley, as we lived in the Okanogan Highlands, just south in the U.S. It would be great to see their collection. Thanks again for sharing!

Another great tour you brought our way! Thank you Jason and Rick for this 😀 I didn't think I would have any of the awesome roses shown here but I ended up having quite a few in my own home!
I don't normally go for red roses but that Dragon Heart is beautiful!! What a beautiful tour!!!
The radio times .. very old version of D.A. wow Thank you!
Perfect example of hardi, surviver roses almost lost and yet still around.
Wonderful to see the community really investing time and energy into such a special place.👌
Many people are willing to give $$$, but few give their time.
Love seeing this treasure not forgotten.🤙
I guess you are famous now Jason with one of your selections in the Secret Garden. Perhaps you are the new Austin of today!😉
The beautiful flowers in this video ease my mind and get me comforted. I love it.❤😀👍👍
Thank you Jason and Rick for everything you do for the roses! 🌹💚
My top hardy roses: Felix Leclerc and J.P .Connell.
Watching this on a very cold day in Newfoundland. This color and beauty is very much appreciated today!
Absolutely beautiful rose garden
That Campfire is amazing!
Wonderful video, very enjoyable. thank you !

"Like putting your nose in a dream" love it !! Amazing roses and back story !!
Pretty cool to see one of your rises in the collection:)
Cheers
I love the Amberage!! I had one and lost it. I truly miss this one in my rose garden and will look for another one
Wow very good nice. I'm a big fan of you＋👍🔔
Thank you for sharing the amazing tours
I never liked roses but I've got some overgrown bushes with sentimental value and felt that I don't know where to start so this video is very encouraging. Thank you so much!

Such a wealth of heritage roses. So many different gardens of them. I think my favorite were the ones that had been hidden for years by the mahonia hedge. Delightful tour!
Thank you. Rick was especially pleased with that garden!
Amazing video, so interesting
I have an English rose called Sir Clough, a climber semi double and hot pink! This garden you visited might want this rose.
Spectacular thanks so much for shoing these beautiful flowers.
Beautyful !!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍
Thank you Jason for walk
What a remarkable place!
Very interesting! Thank you!
A dream garden indeed ❤
I certainly won't miss it in my next trip to Okanagan.

Olds Collage is zone 4 rose . It isn't hardy enough in Edmonton. And the flower stays too short.
Well, I know where I'm going when we visit BC this summer :)

Do roses have smaller blooms the first few years you plant them? I just put in two new David Austin roses, and their blooms are much smaller than I expected.
It definitely can take a while to reach full vigor and flower size
I had a nice collection of rose bushes when I lived in California, but have no idea the names of any of them, my favorite was one whose fragrance reminded me of pepper. Any idea what it might be? I’m planning on getting my daughter another rose for her birthday in July.
The only one that jumps to mind with a pepper scent is Raubritter
What brand drip irrigation are you using?
Mayor of Casterbridge was a novel by Thomas Hardy . . David Austin snr made it right for that name and giant Hardy novel .Yours Lord Parr
I need Graham Thomas again!
Something is going on with my Oso Easy Paprika Rose. It has spread to the rose next to it and a heuchera. How do you tell the difference between disease or pest damage. I can't find any pests on it. Doesn't look like sun damage to me. These roses are older and I cut back earlier in the spring because of damage last year.
He mentioned about 'Emily' . Is that Emily Bronte english rose?
No, because most everything in the collection is older, I think it's more likely 'Emily' Austin 1992

The DA rose Emily. Does he mean Emily Brontë?
They’re different. The registration name of Emily rose is Ausburton, while that of Emily Brontë rose is Ausearnshaw. Emily rose is light pink, while Emily Brontë is soft apricot/light cream.
I'm sure none of these Canadian roses are gonna grow in Oklahoma. Z7 with an afternoon sun that fries everything.
I wouldn't bet against them - the Okanagan climate is renowned for hot summer sun (the cloudy/rainy conditions during this tour notwithstanding)
Roses don't have thorns, they have prickles.
robusta are pretty good red colour, but have not smell
Incredible
