Jay Jay I have to give you a standing ovation and round of applause for your amazing presentation, attention to details and exploration of all these gorgeous roses- outstanding videos and sending a hello from the 🇺🇸 USA.
Hi Latoya and thank you. Not sure I deserve a standing ovation but I think Peter and his small team deserve all the credit, I just walked around with my phone. But thank you and glad you enjoyed these fantastic roses.
That was an "Absolutely Fabulous" tour of a top-notch nursery! It was amazing to see the rows of roses that looked like "Brush Strokes" in a painting---this is a place where I could live la "Dolce Vita" (the sweet life), & it was a "Double Delight" to hear you & Peter nattering on about roses as if "Papa"Meilland" was right there with you. Listening to you two was "Pure Poetry" "Scent From Heaven," and I felt as if I were the "One & Only" guest privileged to listen in to talk of "Chandos Beauty" (yessir, that name got me, couldn't do anything with Chandos!). I could imagine smelling the "White Parfum de Provence" on holiday in the south of France or at a gallery in Paris looking at a "Marc Chagall" exhibit, or enjoying a cup of "Koko Loco" (with a drop of creme de cacao!) and smelling the "Glorious Parfuma" of sophisticated ladies buying expensive art. The whole tour made me think "Avec Amour" of the "Delightful Bliss" of the "Parfuma" of my own garden here in the "Pacific Blue." This tour has been "Dee-Lish" & I thank you much for putting up with this whole "comment," the time spent writing of which has allowed me to avoid vacuuming the living room this evening. Excellent tour---do you think you could slash back your roses for the first year or 2 in order to get those big healthy canes? Don't know if I could.
The most thoughtful comment and I’m pretty sure the most time consuming comment I think I’ve ever received. And it got you out of house hold chores. Winner winner chicken dinner. Thank you vintage lady. I wish I could respond in kind but I gotta go to work :) x x x
This is an Absolute Amazing Video! I’ve never seen the most beautiful Roses that are perfect and so Vibrate in color. I’m blown away I wish I can see them in person. I’m already obsessed with Roses and have quite a few but now I want more 😂lol. After viewing this video. Thank you for sharing!
I wanted to be there with you both looking at all those beautiful roses. I'm full of admiration for the people who run their nurseries as they make it look so easy but it definitely isn't! No blackspot is amazing. Almost every rose in my garden has it this year. Koko Loco looked a beautiful rose. Such an unusual colour. Thanks for taking us along with you Jay Jay and thanks to Peter too.
Hi lovely Wendy. Yes a lot of work I know. Prior to this we went to a field with younger roses that hes bringing on and much of his time is spent there. Minuscule pinching out etc all to make them look like the ones you see here. Yeah no blackspot at all. Mine is full of it :(
Thank you. Walk and talk that’s the easy bit. Tending to them that’s thanks to Peter, his small team and not forgetting that farmer who tends the soil. ;)
What a massive treat for the weekend. I have looked online at Eastcroft in the past but not purchased. I will look again, wish I could buy them all. Thank you, Jay Jay and Peter
How wonderful Jay Jay ! Peter's nursery is vast it's like the big rose test gardens or trial grounds, wow it's magnificent 🤩 and no black spot 💪 Thank you for doing the video it's very interesting to see it after you've spoken about it I can see why you love it there ! Aaw Shaunie looked so comfy in his bed 🐕
Not a single bit of black spot on any rose that I saw all day. Not even plucked back! At this time of year when the garden centres are looking a little tired that’s testament to Peter and his team. Not forgetting that farmer that keeps the soil tiptop.
What a wonderful rose nursery Peter has! I love watching your videos, they are always so pleasant - rose shop talk! I've been working on my rose garden for the last two years, 50 roses and counting. Hello from Vancouver, Canada!
Hi there and thanks for dropping by. Your garden sounds lovely with your new roses. Out of interest what is your best most favourite rose you have there in Canada?
Jay this video is fantastic! What a wonderful talented gardener Peter is. Thankyou for sharing his roses. Now to decided which one to get! Pacific Blue and Chandis beauty are calling me!
Wow! What a great place, it’s like the trial or testing garden for roses for getting ADR logo here in Germany. Peter‘s nursery has all my favourite roses and some are already in my garden for a long time. Jubilee Papa Meilland is still on my list. My Pacific blue is beautiful this year. I‘m surprised you choose Madame Anisette, now you know how it smells, crazy isn’t it, incredible scent of anis, myrrh and other scents. Line Renaud has amazing scent too! Thanks for sharing this to us Jay, I really love it!🌹
You would have loved it Gemma. I didn’t realise (or forgot) you had pacific blue I really liked that one. Yes Madame Anisette I didn’t realise was Madame Anisette until I got home and was editing. This one not the best example but this has happened to me several times now with totally obscure roses with obscure names that I have chosen, only to establish later with name changes that they are top performing roses just with different names. And it’s a great feeling when it happens it’s like a blind fold test and reveal. Boom. I done the exact same thing with the anniversary rose in the Peter beales video. Transpired to be the famous Line Renaud. Another great. :)
@@Jay_Jay Good morning Jay! The same rose with lots of names in different country. What surprised me the most is how the roses grew so healthy & with so many flowers. I noticed he didn’t plant the rose with huge distance. I got Avec Amour too but planted in shaded area, limited blooms for many years. Maybe you can unlocked the mystery of how the rose can grow like that without water & feed. In the meantime, I’ll be watching your video repeatedly. Peter‘s Bliss Parfuma ( which I have called Märchenzauber here in Germany) looks great too! A lovely day to you & your wife!
@@rosegardengems you are joking me you have avec amour also I honestly didn’t realise this but must have seen it in your videos. One of the prettiest flowers of the day especially when freshly opened, and when it fades not a total disaster with the touch of pink and red coming in. I will have to catch up on your channel again when I’m free I think. Yes I will cover his soil and treatment in another video when I’m there next.
I think that was the rose equivalent of eating a whole variety box of delicious chocolates at one sitting! I enjoyed every minute but I feel I have overindulged. If only we all had fields like that to plant our roses - and the weather conditions there must be fantastic for roses if they are unfed, unwatered and still disease free. You are of course right - the best way to choose a rose is to see and smell it when it is in flower, but that is alas not always possible. And to see different varieties of outstanding roses together so that you can compare them directly is the cherry on the top. You did a great job with the filming and chat - I think you have a future as a television presenter!
Haha that made me smile. It was previously agreed there will be a couple/few more videos with Peter this year. And I really wanna get his soil in and how his roses do so well. I can only assume that perhaps every 2 or 3 years peters field, and as was once sung in a song, it moves to the left a little bit and then a few years later it moves to the right. That way the farmer gets to plant his hungry vegetables where peters roses had been growing. And the roses get the new well fed soil in the new spot I don’t know but I will speak to him about this. Thanks nik
Thanks mate but you can never tell. For this video part of me would like that. As you know I worked right through the night to get this puppy organised, edited down and uploaded. But with TH-cam you can never tell :)
Thank you Jay Jay for amazing video. I've got a few roses from Peter. All of them are marvelous. As soon as I would have some space in my garden I am going to order a few more that I liked in the video.
Great tour, Thank you! Wow that madame anisette, what a absolute beauty! I looked her up in the Kordes catalog I got with last years roses, but the pictures there don't do het justice. Need to make room now 😂
Hi there. Yes the flowers were lovely with strong growth and it was the fragrance!! Honestly an extremely attractive fragrance for my nose. They say liquorice, Myrrh, sweet, but I don’t know all I do know is it was gorgeous scent for me. The flower just a slight pink with creamy white and the shape of that flower it was like a wedding rose. I’m making room:)
Hi Diane I will speak to Peter about that soil I will let you know. His (or his farmers) secret must be within that soil and I know your working on yours.
@@Jay_Jay You have read my mind! I was going to nag you in my comment to find out what that farmer is doing, lol. Did the man say he was going to cut back all those roses? I can't remember without looking it up, if we are supposed to do that this time of year. Frankly, I'm so mad at mine that I'm seriously considering giving them all a good haircut just to give them the business. I have a Marc Chagall and he is a huge black spot magnet for me. He is like just two stalks without many leaves because of the black spot. It's so weird because the first year I planted him, he did so well but the past two years.. serious meh and I do so love the blooms. When I do my next video, I'll show you his sorry arse, lol. In fact, they all look pretty sad but let me tell you, I have a bumper crop of weeds!
@@DianePahl your not alone Diane I have much black spot. Yes he’s going to cut them all back to encourage more young growth to come through. So come bare root season we should see healthy and strong new growth.
The most enjoyable rose video i have watched to date thank you JJ and peter very insightful a delight to watch loved the look of the red Jubilee rose french i think ?
Hi Ben. All credit to Peter and his small team for their efforts. Reading these comments I’m regretting ruthlessly editing out at least ten great roses. At least ten! Yes Jubilee papa Meilland? This is a French rose.
What a great resource to have so near to where you live. A bit perplexing how perfect everything looks with no irrigation or amendments; must be a matter of the soil providing everything the roses need. Agree with your top two picks but was also impressed with Julia Childs and Jubilee Papa. Thank you for sharing!
Hi Graham yes indeed so was I. I will do another video on this matter. From previous conversations we will do more videos like a series. And I will definitely talk to Peter about that soil but I can assure you that ground was bone dry and I saw zero blackspot. Thanks Graham
Two years ago, in mid season, following an informative and helpful, telephone call, I purchased, a potted "Austin" rose from Peter. The rose when it arrived was an exceptionally magnificent plant, incomparable to previous purchases from other suppliers.I have to tell you, that by summer's end my wonderful rose , growing in a large pot, was three and a half feet, or more tall, of extremely strong canes, with continuos flowers. The plant was so strong...... I began to believe Peter had sold me a Triffid!
Really enjoyed this video, infact it was riveting JJ :) just made my bareroot list from watching. I do already have Midsummer from Eastcroft, she is indeed strong & beautiful. Wonderful JJ, thank you so much.
Well done. I honestly think these local rose nurseries have the edge. Any garden centre near me especially the big branded garden centres, when it comes to roses at this time of year they struggle in comparison.
Hi mate yes it is fine of course but seeing his nursary and what he has in terms of his rose collection there could be much more to his website. He’s working on options, sections etc and it will be updated to reflect what he has, it will just take a little time. ;)
It’s pure bliss to watch the video mate. All roses look awesome and super healthy and happy to see Julia Child, Nostalgia , koko loco purchased recently featured in video. It would be interesting to know about rootstock and pruning practices to achieve such strong growth. One more thing, I feel video ends too early.
Hi Rakesh. It’s rose Laxa as rootstock. Funny you should say it ended too early because there was about a dozen more roses that I had to ruthlessly edit out because of time. Furthermore the video originally started in another field with baby roses with Peter showing us how he painstakingly pinches out miniscule buds and stems to keep the roses in best condition but it was all too long. However we already decided this will feature in another video.
@@Jay_Jay It would be great to see rest of the footage. Normal garden maintenance practices like feeding, pruning, propagation, etc. will help us immensely. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful video.
@@bloombaag Rakesh the other footage was over an hour and a half of video. As someone who makes video you’ll probably understand to get this final video exported I had to delete much of it down because of storage. (I do everything on my phone). The roses here are not fed at all. But as is said in the video the farmer keeps that soil in tip top condition from growing his vegetables. But I will do another video about this. Cheers mate
@@Jay_Jay I can understand, editing and exporting big file in phone requires lot of storage and time. Better to do it in desktop/laptop. Eagerly awaiting next instalment of the visit
Do not worry. It was my friend that introduced me to Peter and his wonderful rose nursery. It was Peter that recommended Pacific Blue and so glad he did, doing amazingly well and preparing for its third flush. I was amazed when seeing the nursery for the first time, like a kid in a candy store. Loved the video and shared
@@helenalexanderbristow1187 thanks Helen. I broke today and asked Peter to reserve me a pacific blue and a Madame Anisette. :) I will worry about where they go nearer the time :)
Hi Jay!!! Really enjoyed watching your video!!! Nice choice! I have Pacific Blue as standard tree, highly recommend that rose. I wish I could share some pictures with you. From my experience about Pacific Blue - do not keep her under direct sunlight, she definitely doesnt like it, heat as well, doesnt really tolerate heat and sunlight but good with rain. It is a wonderful rose!!! Will be looking into Perfume collection after your videos, you always mention them. Thanks for your videos 🤗
Hi lily yes pacific blue lovely. Would you say it’s shade tolerant? Some of the roses I have I fluked. I chose roses on the day that transpired to be from the Parfuma, parfum or fairytale collection but because of name changes I didn’t know. This rose at the end I didn’t know a glorious Parfuma even existed! It was only when making the video I found out it was the famous Madame Anisette. Tallulah I didn’t realise was from the fairytale collection. The anniversary rose I didn’t realise was from the parfum collection but you see me stumble across it in the Peter beales video. :)
@@Jay_Jay partial shade I would say. Approx 4 h a day sunlight would be perfect. Morning sunlight preferably. So many new info for me as well!!! Thanks for sharing!
Wow what a place ❤❤❤❤…so funny I am always hunting for Austin Roses here in Germany and at your Place they have lots of German and European breed Roses…😂
Hi sue I haven’t forgotten you I’m waiting till the bank holiday weekend is over and I’ll speak to Peter but for now I’m gonna guesstimate a couple of feet.
8:22 Hybrid teas are not my thing, but this Meilland rose does have a unique, pleasing velvety appearance on the petals. My thrill is the old cabbage, Victorian form of roses, be they modern or old, no matter to me, just the cabbage form, quartered is even nicer and clouds of perfume. 17:24 Nice color blend, the striations are in sync with one another. 19:33 I also do not care for white roses, only if they are strongly quartered like Madamm Hardy, then the light color emphasizes the sculptural impression of the pronounced quartering. Alas, I was not able to get a Madamme Hardy with it's gorgeous quartering, and it's little green tick in the center, and it's high petal count, soI contented myself with a white perpetual moss rose, since I had no whites at all. 21:08 Yes, a superior shade of yellow, like june butter from a Jersey cow, soft, pastel radiant yellow. 21:20 Low petal count, alas! I prefer roses stuffed to the gills with petals, the cent feuille form. 22:51 Nicely quartered, I love Kordes roses, they go for the old Victorian form, the "fairytale" form, I have several David Austin roses, I love them, they are 90% of the way to old Victorian form, but Kordes goes all the way, pure nostalgic form, and if they nod, so much the better. 24:31 Bliss Parfuma, absolutely wondrous, like it has a golden light illuminating the center, very nice form also, although I see no quartering. Well, thank you for sharing this. i appreciate the honest, non commercial discussion, including his comments regarding powdery mildew. Oh my! Except that mine is white, my what we call coon dog here in the USA looks identical to mine. Exactly one year ago, I walked round back of my workshop and there laid a quite literally skin and bones , covered in flies, coon dog. I dropped my tools, went got her food, but she was so shy for about 3 days. Now she is happy, healthy, never on a chain or in a cage, I go for walks with our 10 years of age bulldog, that is the coon dog's "green light" to go hunting for several hours. She has annihilated all of the groundhogs, raacoons etc. that were wrecking my garden. So, anyhow, until later, Godspeed to you! Ralph in Ohio
Hi Ralph and thanks for your comment an engaging read as always. I could have done with you at my side when filming. I’m thrilled you rescued a dog. Really pleased. Seanie is also a rescue dog who was in rescue kennels for many years without a home. He couldn’t be homed because he is reactive to other dogs and people aren’t interested or haven’t the extra time available to settle him but he’s an amazing pet. And has come on leaps and bounds since we got him. I don’t think he will ever be without a muzzle but his life is much better now. Interesting what you call the breed over in the states. They call them greyhounds here. The term you use stateside in the U.K. is a racial slur similar to the N word. Interesting I hear the word bitch stateside is an absolute expletive but in the U.K. Not so much. Anyhow take care Ralph and thanks so much for your input.
Good evening Jay, Bless you for rescuing your doggie.@@Jay_Jay ♥♥ Hmmm? "coon dog" is profanity in the U.K.? Interesting. I learned Spanish for 3 years, Then Learned French for 2 years, then later learned German, so I am accustomed to words and phrases having different weight in various languages and dialects. Words, the history, their origins, what a word was many hundreds of years ago, compared to what the word is now, for example Chaucerian English which i memorized in school strikes me as being quite Germanic, I do understand that the Norse language also factored into English long ago. Usually big changes occur in languages to to occupation of a foreign nation for many decades and hundreds of years in the nation that they conquered. For example, The English language before the Roman occupation was a completely different animal to what it now is. The purpose of any language is of course is to convey information over time and distance and so it is well to be aware of words that may offend and , ideally avoid using them. Thank you for informing my curious mind. Ralph from Ohio. Sorry to digress off the topic of roses. I am not sure if there is any plant with such wide variations in types and qualities. I had no pre meditated plan to become so fascinated with roses, I was sort of drawn in.
Seen this a few times most enjoyable 😊 please note I am Patrick allon I am just browsing on a friend s iPad this reply is mine Patrick allon not Elaine thank you .
Jay Jay, Thank you for your videos but especially this one! You’ve located Glorious Parfuma aka Madame Anisette for me right here in England! That’s has really made my day, thank you! I’ve been looking for this rose and had no idea Eastcroft Roses had her! Eastcroft needs to update their online catalogue or they will miss out on customers! Unfortunately, Eastcroft isn’t local to me. I’ve bought one rose (so far!) from them, Scent from Heaven earlier in spring, and I was so impressed by the specimen I received, very healthy. Did you, by any chance, see/ sniff test Rhapsody in Blue during your visits to Eastcroft?
I did look at all the blue roses pretty much mate but can’t remember all the names. But pacific blue was the favourite on that day. Yes I didn’t even realise a glorious Parfuma even existed! I had no idea it was the elusive Madame Anisette until I got home and was editing the video! That is a true story. You can imagine me falling over I text Peter straight away and asked him to reserve me one for bare root season. I’ve looked for it so many times and it was right there. I promise you that’s a true story. The fragrance is particularly attractive for my nose anyway. Thanks for dropping my friend and good luck with your roses.
You have sweet parfum de Provence aswell and you got it from Peter, you see the size of it! :) that’s when I purchased my one was when I saw the condition of yours :)
Haha you know it. I deliberately didn’t say anything about price in the video but when you see the roses in the flesh you get alot of rose. I’ve never bought online from him but when collected in person they are…. Great value. For what you get, embarrassingly so. :)
@@Jay_Jay we are all so grateful for showing us viewers these beautiful roses and helping people like me to buy the right rose. Thank you for your contributions. Ps. I would have bought my own garden fork along and help Peter to thin down some of the roses 😆
I can't believe how much I enjoyed this video! I gasped out loud numerous times. Best to you from New York City!
Wish can have them all ❤❤❤ thank you jayjay and peter.

@@DianePahl your not alone Diane I have much black spot. Yes he’s going to cut them all back to encourage more young growth to come through. So come bare root season we should see healthy and strong new growth.
@@Jay_Jay I started nipping at mine. It's going to take me a bit to get brave enough to take them all the way back, lol.
Awesome video lovely experience thank you Jay Jay for sharing. 😊
The most enjoyable rose video i have watched to date thank you JJ and peter very insightful a delight to watch loved the look of the red Jubilee rose french i think ?
Hi Ben. All credit to Peter and his small team for their efforts. Reading these comments I’m regretting ruthlessly editing out at least ten great roses. At least ten! Yes Jubilee papa Meilland? This is a French rose.
Loved the tour. I really loved the red papa maland one soo pretty. My next purchase .
That one was lovely and thank you but all credit to Peter and his small team :)
I'm struck by the health of the plants! I'm seeing no blackspot, no insect damage...and all those flowers!
Yes so was I. I will do another video about this but I promise you it was true I saw zero blackspot. Just a few roses with powdery mildew.
What a fantastic video Jay!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you but all credit to Peter and his small team. :) a superb collection in tip top condition. :)
Thank you so much for taking us with you to Eastcroft Roses, loved every minute! Absolutely stunning blooms!🌹
Thank you and all credit to Peter and his team of two!
Maravilhosos resultados, quanta beleza ...isso faz bem ao coração ...obrigado
Beautiful
Indeed Debbie :)
What a great resource to have so near to where you live. A bit perplexing how perfect everything looks with no irrigation or amendments; must be a matter of the soil providing everything the roses need. Agree with your top two picks but was also impressed with Julia Childs and Jubilee Papa. Thank you for sharing!
Hi Graham yes indeed so was I. I will do another video on this matter. From previous conversations we will do more videos like a series. And I will definitely talk to Peter about that soil but I can assure you that ground was bone dry and I saw zero blackspot. Thanks Graham
Two years ago, in mid season, following an informative and helpful, telephone call, I purchased, a potted "Austin" rose from Peter.
The rose when it arrived was an exceptionally magnificent plant, incomparable to previous purchases from other suppliers.I have to tell you, that by summer's end my wonderful rose , growing in a large pot, was three and a half feet, or more tall, of extremely strong canes,
with continuos flowers.
The plant was so strong......
I began to believe Peter had sold me a Triffid!
What you say doesn’t surprise me but it made me smile. Yeah you know Peter.
Really enjoyed this video, infact it was riveting JJ :) just made my bareroot list from watching. I do already have Midsummer from Eastcroft, she is indeed strong & beautiful. Wonderful JJ, thank you so much.
All thanks to Peter and his 2 staff. All 3 of them an amazing job.
Amazing place!!! I've got some of the roses in my garden and in my mum's garden. All my roses are from such nurseries, I've bought them on-line.
Well done. I honestly think these local rose nurseries have the edge. Any garden centre near me especially the big branded garden centres, when it comes to roses at this time of year they struggle in comparison.
oh come on, his website is totally fine, and prices seem to be okay. Great reco, thanks!
Hi mate yes it is fine of course but seeing his nursary and what he has in terms of his rose collection there could be much more to his website. He’s working on options, sections etc and it will be updated to reflect what he has, it will just take a little time. ;)
A plant list in the video description would be super useful, Jay. The word is floriferous.
Great video. Bought chandos beauty from this great nursery. Sadly pacific blue not on sale in their website.
It’s pure bliss to watch the video mate. All roses look awesome and super healthy and happy to see Julia Child, Nostalgia , koko loco purchased recently featured in video. It would be interesting to know about rootstock and pruning practices to achieve such strong growth. One more thing, I feel video ends too early.
Hi Rakesh. It’s rose Laxa as rootstock. Funny you should say it ended too early because there was about a dozen more roses that I had to ruthlessly edit out because of time. Furthermore the video originally started in another field with baby roses with Peter showing us how he painstakingly pinches out miniscule buds and stems to keep the roses in best condition but it was all too long. However we already decided this will feature in another video.
@@Jay_Jay It would be great to see rest of the footage. Normal garden maintenance practices like feeding, pruning, propagation, etc. will help us immensely. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful video.
@@bloombaag Rakesh the other footage was over an hour and a half of video. As someone who makes video you’ll probably understand to get this final video exported I had to delete much of it down because of storage. (I do everything on my phone). The roses here are not fed at all. But as is said in the video the farmer keeps that soil in tip top condition from growing his vegetables. But I will do another video about this. Cheers mate
@@Jay_Jay I can understand, editing and exporting big file in phone requires lot of storage and time. Better to do it in desktop/laptop. Eagerly awaiting next instalment of the visit
Glorious!
Indeed Helen sorry in the moment I forgot it was YOU who acquired that pacific blue :)
Do not worry. It was my friend that introduced me to Peter and his wonderful rose nursery. It was Peter that recommended Pacific Blue and so glad he did, doing amazingly well and preparing for its third flush. I was amazed when seeing the nursery for the first time, like a kid in a candy store. Loved the video and shared
@@helenalexanderbristow1187 thanks Helen. I broke today and asked Peter to reserve me a pacific blue and a Madame Anisette. :) I will worry about where they go nearer the time :)
Jay, what is the coneflower at 32 24 please? Lovely, lovely visit.
Hi there, it’s morning primrose . And thank you
Hi Jay!!! Really enjoyed watching your video!!! Nice choice! I have Pacific Blue as standard tree, highly recommend that rose. I wish I could share some pictures with you. From my experience about Pacific Blue - do not keep her under direct sunlight, she definitely doesnt like it, heat as well, doesnt really tolerate heat and sunlight but good with rain. It is a wonderful rose!!! Will be looking into Perfume collection after your videos, you always mention them. Thanks for your videos 🤗
Hi lily yes pacific blue lovely. Would you say it’s shade tolerant? Some of the roses I have I fluked. I chose roses on the day that transpired to be from the Parfuma, parfum or fairytale collection but because of name changes I didn’t know. This rose at the end I didn’t know a glorious Parfuma even existed! It was only when making the video I found out it was the famous Madame Anisette. Tallulah I didn’t realise was from the fairytale collection. The anniversary rose I didn’t realise was from the parfum collection but you see me stumble across it in the Peter beales video. :)
@@Jay_Jay partial shade I would say. Approx 4 h a day sunlight would be perfect. Morning sunlight preferably. So many new info for me as well!!! Thanks for sharing!
@@dillyroses wow that’s interesting. Thanks for the heads up. :)
Hi shaunie ❤
He says hi :)
Wow what a place ❤❤❤❤…so funny I am always hunting for Austin Roses here in Germany and at your Place they have lots of German and European breed Roses…😂
Yes they do. And many that I find not so easy to source here in the U.K.
Thanks Jay that was fabulous. How far apart were they planted?
Hi sue I haven’t forgotten you I’m waiting till the bank holiday weekend is over and I’ll speak to Peter but for now I’m gonna guesstimate a couple of feet.
Pacific blue is lovely
She was linda indeed
Beautiful. Have you any experience with 'Great Century' bred by DELegran?
I’m sorry I haven’t no. And thank you.
Outstanding! The margins and the dedication. And the best rose is an American rose?!?!
Go figure.
My best rose was a German one but peter grows several roses from the U.S that seemed to be doing very well indeed. :)
8:22 Hybrid teas are not my thing, but this Meilland rose does have a unique, pleasing velvety appearance on the petals. My thrill is the old cabbage, Victorian form of roses, be they modern or old, no matter to me, just the cabbage form, quartered is even nicer and clouds of perfume. 17:24 Nice color blend, the striations are in sync with one another. 19:33 I also do not care for white roses, only if they are strongly quartered like Madamm Hardy, then the light color emphasizes the sculptural impression of the pronounced quartering. Alas, I was not able to get a Madamme Hardy with it's gorgeous quartering, and it's little green tick in the center, and it's high petal count, soI contented myself with a white perpetual moss rose, since I had no whites at all. 21:08 Yes, a superior shade of yellow, like june butter from a Jersey cow, soft, pastel radiant yellow. 21:20 Low petal count, alas! I prefer roses stuffed to the gills with petals, the cent feuille form. 22:51 Nicely quartered, I love Kordes roses, they go for the old Victorian form, the "fairytale" form, I have several David Austin roses, I love them, they are 90% of the way to old Victorian form, but Kordes goes all the way, pure nostalgic form, and if they nod, so much the better. 24:31 Bliss Parfuma, absolutely wondrous, like it has a golden light illuminating the center, very nice form also, although I see no quartering.
Well, thank you for sharing this. i appreciate the honest, non commercial discussion, including his comments regarding powdery mildew.
Oh my! Except that mine is white, my what we call coon dog here in the USA looks identical to mine. Exactly one year ago, I walked round back of my workshop and there laid a quite literally skin and bones , covered in flies, coon dog. I dropped my tools, went got her food, but she was so shy for about 3 days. Now she is happy, healthy, never on a chain or in a cage, I go for walks with our 10 years of age bulldog, that is the coon dog's "green light" to go hunting for several hours. She has annihilated all of the groundhogs, raacoons etc. that were wrecking my garden.
So, anyhow, until later, Godspeed to you!
Ralph in Ohio
Hi Ralph and thanks for your comment an engaging read as always. I could have done with you at my side when filming. I’m thrilled you rescued a dog. Really pleased. Seanie is also a rescue dog who was in rescue kennels for many years without a home. He couldn’t be homed because he is reactive to other dogs and people aren’t interested or haven’t the extra time available to settle him but he’s an amazing pet. And has come on leaps and bounds since we got him. I don’t think he will ever be without a muzzle but his life is much better now. Interesting what you call the breed over in the states. They call them greyhounds here. The term you use stateside in the U.K. is a racial slur similar to the N word. Interesting I hear the word bitch stateside is an absolute expletive but in the U.K. Not so much. Anyhow take care Ralph and thanks so much for your input.
Good evening Jay, Bless you for rescuing your doggie.@@Jay_Jay ♥♥
Hmmm? "coon dog" is profanity in the U.K.? Interesting. I learned Spanish for 3 years, Then Learned French for 2 years, then later learned German, so I am accustomed to words and phrases having different weight in various languages and dialects. Words, the history, their origins, what a word was many hundreds of years ago, compared to what the word is now, for example Chaucerian English which i memorized in school strikes me as being quite Germanic, I do understand that the Norse language also factored into English long ago. Usually big changes occur in languages to to occupation of a foreign nation for many decades and hundreds of years in the nation that they conquered. For example, The English language before the Roman occupation was a completely different animal to what it now is.
The purpose of any language is of course is to convey information over time and distance and so it is well to be aware of words that may offend and , ideally avoid using them. Thank you for informing my curious mind.
Ralph from Ohio.
Sorry to digress off the topic of roses. I am not sure if there is any plant with such wide variations in types and qualities. I had no pre meditated plan to become so fascinated with roses, I was sort of drawn in.
Seen this a few times most enjoyable 😊 please note I am Patrick allon I am just browsing on a friend s iPad this reply is mine Patrick allon not Elaine thank you .
Jay Jay, Thank you for your videos but especially this one! You’ve located Glorious Parfuma aka Madame Anisette for me right here in England! That’s has really made my day, thank you! I’ve been looking for this rose and had no idea Eastcroft Roses had her! Eastcroft needs to update their online catalogue or they will miss out on customers! Unfortunately, Eastcroft isn’t local to me. I’ve bought one rose (so far!) from them, Scent from Heaven earlier in spring, and I was so impressed by the specimen I received, very healthy. Did you, by any chance, see/ sniff test Rhapsody in Blue during your visits to Eastcroft?
I did look at all the blue roses pretty much mate but can’t remember all the names. But pacific blue was the favourite on that day.
Yes I didn’t even realise a glorious Parfuma even existed! I had no idea it was the elusive Madame Anisette until I got home and was editing the video! That is a true story. You can imagine me falling over I text Peter straight away and asked him to reserve me one for bare root season. I’ve looked for it so many times and it was right there. I promise you that’s a true story. The fragrance is particularly attractive for my nose anyway. Thanks for dropping my friend and good luck with your roses.
Thanks Jay Jay!@@Jay_Jay
Ive got jubilee papa Jay
You have sweet parfum de Provence aswell and you got it from Peter, you see the size of it! :) that’s when I purchased my one was when I saw the condition of yours :)
Can we buy
Jay You can ask Peter lto adjust and enhance the website but don’t mention anything about the price😂
Haha you know it. I deliberately didn’t say anything about price in the video but when you see the roses in the flesh you get alot of rose. I’ve never bought online from him but when collected in person they are…. Great value. For what you get, embarrassingly so. :)
@@Jay_Jay we are all so grateful for showing us viewers these beautiful roses and helping people like me to buy the right rose. Thank you for your contributions.
Ps. I would have bought my own garden fork along and help Peter to thin down some of the roses 😆
@@kenvoong5977 Ken you crack me up and this is why I love your channel. :)
I have decided to steer away from rose nurseries and their websites, amen :-)
It saves money for sure :)
