Hello Lin! My great admiration for all your success in your rose cuttings especially the Jubilee Celebration, looks cool with the standard tree form. It seems like you had a nice weather there, is it not very hot? My rose flowers are becoming smaller in size, high temperatures at the moment here. That was a lovely colour of Munstead Wood. Lovely to see your roses!😍
Hi Gemma. The weather has only recently improved . We had a lot of rain and now is mostly dry around 22 degrees. Looking forward to seeing your next video. Take care .
Lovely walk around your garden rose wife 😊. Ancient mariner I think has slightly better flowers if anything. And as you say more fragrant, I’m waiting on mine putting on some growth but it’s in a good spot. Ok now you’re showing off with your distant drums oh and PCDM! Yeah very jealous I am! But a lovely walk around :)
So far...I think Olivia Rose is more reliable flowering and the healthiest DA in my large collection. It also is a full attractive bush. The scent is just okay. I would probably recommend it for beginners.
Lovely roses Lin and so many buds. I wish mine looked like yours. That little stem of Ebtide is unusual. Are you sure that naughty Ken hasn't been playing a trick on you? You both have beautiful gardens and green fingers.
I have Alfred de dalmas moss rose that is same colour as desdemona .. rose with moss on the buds is a novelty old .. variety novelty rose .. i have damask roses .. the fragrance makes you feel like you’re gonna pass out with their strength
I’ve never grown a Moss rose. I’ve seen the buds, it’s …err… interesting. It looks like it’s covered in aphids from afar. I get what you say about super strong fragrance. It’s like some lilies, so strong it’s overpowering ( almost stinking).
@@Lin_Greenfinger last yr i bought damask & gallica & hybrid perpetuals, moss roses from Trevor white spending £480 on them.. then many from other vendors too .. altogether ending up spending £3000 on them.. because i’d survived a heart attack in 2021.. only realised last yr. after that shock that i was still alive & should get more roses to celebrate 🎉
Hi Lin! Thanks for doing that side-by-side comparison - I had suspected that they would look very similar, and they certainly do. but it's reassuring to know that you think I opted for the better rose - just imagine if I had got it wrong and had to dig up my 5 Ancient Mariners to replace them! Those various cuttings look well established - when did you take them? That Chandos Beauty at the end is indeed a beauty, especially in that light - mine, new this year, lost its head weeks ago just as it was about to flower due to my clumsiness and I am still waiting for it to bloom. As usual, thank you for an enjoyable and informative video.
Hi Nik. I do think Ancient Mariner is underrated. Olivia steals the attention with the family name. I took the cuttings about 1.5 years ago, some last autumn. I just can’t resist when I prune.Then I end up with far too many 😅
@@Lin_Greenfinger Thanks Lin. I have only ever taken autumn cuttings until this year - my recent summer cuttings look fine above ground, but it's the roots which are important, isn't it? I do it for the fun of it and enjoy doing it, but as you say you do end up with a lot of roses you don't need.
@@Lin_GreenfingerI’ve got cuttings of just joey rose & bride & groom rose doing so well from this yr’s cuttings.. but you know how we are like .. as many as rose bushes we have ..” they are never enough “..
❤ Hello Lin, in your opinion, which rose flowers better, Ancient Mariner or Olivia? And which is better in shade? I already have an Ancient Mariner and it only gives me 2 flushes. I have a slightly shadier spot to add another rose and for continuity either would be a good choice so still trying to decide which one.
Stunning roses garden!
Thank you so very much for the side by side comparisons, it helps enormously! Lovely garden
What s beautiful garden. Roses are stunning. Thanks for sharing.xxLiz

Love your cottage garden 💖
I’m glad you are back from your holiday . I missed your garden videos.

Alan titchmarch was saying on his programs to take cutting in June & you can do them in July when they’re all raring to go
