I love Distant Drums! I prune it quite low in my zone 4/5 Canadian garden because it's not cane hardy to such low winter temps and freezing rain, even when given winter protection. But it does reach almost 3ft by the end of our short growing season. It's the only rose in my garden which carries that myrrh fragrance, hence the David Austin rose in its lineage.
@@TheRoseGeek Unless you're rejuvinating this rose, it's better to prune it back to a moderate height in spring. That way you get the desired height during its first flush. Pruning it close to ground level will yeild a height of 18" for the first flush (too low IMO), afterwhich the plant will reach 3 feet by the late season. In cold zones, you don't get the height until the end of the season, which can be said of the majority of tender roses. I'd give anything if my Distant Drums could flower at 3ft for its first flush and finish off at 5ft, like you see in temperate climates. It's certainly a rose that merits height to look amazing.
@@TheRoseGeekWill definitely keep an eye on it though I don't have high hopes for it being prolific. Alex says hers isn't doing much of anything. The ones at our local rose garden doesn't bloom much either.
Ohhhhh breathtaking.... I wanted this rose so much but couldnt find it anywhere in the uk...but I realized last summer that my Eucetacia vye is a bit similar to Distant Drums in terms of their soft brown tint at the center. Wish more us roses come to Europe. Thanks Kim 😊😊😊
A stunning rose. Looks like it’s made of porcelain.
I agree. I just want to place it in my china cabinet to swoon over all year. I might have to dry the bud to see how it looks. 😀
I'm so glad i planted this one last year, it quickly became my favorite when it bloomed!!!❤❤❤❤
The colors are so unique. I am glad you were able to add Distant Drums.
Just perfect coloring throughout the life of the flower! One of my favs that you've shared!😊
Thank you so much 😀
Such a beautiful rose, thank you for sharing it with us. I can't wait for mine to mature.
Thank you for watching! I can't wait for your DD to grow and bloom for you. It is such a pretty rose.
👍😊🌹

Great feedback about cutting them back. I can imagine the fragrance now and am dreaming of spring!

Спасибо.
Спасибо за просмотр!
It's such a pretty rose. I held out buying one for a long while but glad I finally caved in :)
It really is! Let me know how it performs for you. Mine in zone 8a isn't prolific.

Oh no I am sorry you couldn't find it in Europe. I hope it finds it's way there in the next season! Thank you for watching.
