I have ordered from Claire Austin and the plants arrive in excellent quality. I have never had an issue with any of the plants i have purchased. Highly recommend her website. Great to actually see the person behind the business.
Love your spirited discussions Ms. Bunny! Thanks for introducing your lovely cousin, Claire. I was so inspired by the garden talk. Claire's gardens are gorgeous.
Perfect of its kind, drippy, slippy, nippy, insistent kitty and wandering red hen. Chat lovely and bits of information. Just ordered Claire rose yesterday for front bricked in border and patio in 1920 A/C bungalow in Central Calif, delighted to have this pop up to accompany coffee and small spotted dog for start of autumn color and changed weather!
Bunny as an Australian with a garden full of perennials and English roses I loved this episode and meeting Claire Austin, what a treat. Thank you both for this.
Lovely to hear Claire mention about insects and using peat free compost! I always leave my garden messy over winter for ladybirds etc. Come spring all the rose forums light up with people complaining about aphids but my garden in already full of ladybirds and hoverflies so I don’t get that problem.
Oh, how lovely! I've had a Claire Austin rose for about 15 years. A fun casual chat about plants. What could be better with a cup of tea? I like to hand water my container garden, and use that time as an opportunity to yank out weeds, but also to notice volunteer plants or when rosemary creeps into another pot, or strawberries start sending out runners with new little plants. Peonies don't do well here, with our low chill hours, but they fascinate me. The only thing that rivals the rose.
@@bunnyguinness Sorry, I meant a low number of chill hours. In San Diego...lows down to 25 F (-3.8 C), but only a few days a year. Normally never lower than about 38 F (3.33 C). Also quite dry. Can grow apricots and plums, but not apples. Though I've moved farther east (farther from the coast) than the area where I lived when I last tried peonies, so maybe I should give them another chance. :)
The description of this video states that Claire is a "minefield of information". What a difference between that and a "mine" of information! There is also a picture captioned 'David Austin', who, I think, is not that man.
Did you know that David Austin is the video host's uncle and the guest's father? Don't you suppose they'd recognize their own relative for the photo selection and caption?
@@dianefields6056 At the 3:34 timestamp, right? I think it is David Austin when he's a little older. I have to admit I didn't find too many photos online, but the man on the bench does look like other photos of a man identified as David Austin. The photos I see are at a magazine called "Express and Star".
So honoured to be introduced to David Austin's daughter. The love of beauty runs true, through her sculptress Mother too. ❤❤ ❤Thank you.

Me too. Have read lots of articles about Claire & her nursery. ❤
The garden is great. I like the rainy weather too.

Geranium, Rozanne. Can’t be complacent about it! It’s stunning in the landscape for its foliage AND flowers. Love the anemones too!
Always delighted with the quality of plants I receive from you .. thank you
Thoroughly enjoyed the video....Just a lovely chat but very interesting...😊
Just ordered a rose named ‘Claire Austin’. How lovely to meet the human version!
The cat's the star.

Thank you for your comments- what temperatures do you get down too, I thought peonies tolerated quite cold temperatures?🐇

@@elisaangel9789 yes I know that and I know Bunny knows what David Austen looks like. But the photo is definitely not him. Take a look.

@@elisaangel9789 There is a "description" of the video if you click on the title underneath the thumbnail. That is where the errors are.
@@dianefields6056 I think it's him.
