Hey guys. Own root is the common term for roses that are not grafted. Having grown roses and belonging to our local rose society for over 30 years I've seen the good the bad and the ugly of roses. I'm so excited to see your adventure for growing roses. Good luck and take care. btw, if you're interested in learning more hands on growing you might reach out to your local rose society. You'll be amazed how knowledgeable they are. Ask to speak to their local consulting rosarians. My favorite most fragrant rose is named Double Delight. It's fragrance will knock your socks off. Oh, no socks today, it'll knock your flip-flops off.
My wife turned me onto the "tea" roses.... whoa! Talk about an epic smelling rose. Defiantly one of the best smelling rose varieties. Also big beautiful blooms, it's all over the board for the win
tea rose is generally the shape and growth habit (and the 'tea' smell of ones that actually have scent). the smell intensity or if it even has one depends on the rose itself and there are highly fragrant ones in each class of roses. (like old garden roses, rugosa, noisettes, etc.) : ) would be interested to know what your highly fragrant ones are.
Interesting, I don't know which variety they are, it's been awhile. But everytime I get one it does have an epic smell, I just figured that all the tea roses did
MY pride and joy is my Disneyland floribunda rose bush. It was created by Jackson Perkins for Disneyland’s 50th and they have them throughout many areas of the park. The roses range from magenta to apricot to yellow. Gorgeous!
Our house had 4 rose bushes when we moved in years ago. They are still thriving away. I think they are just your basic mini roses from a big box store that bloom multiple times a season. We don't do anything to them at all, no pesticides or even extra watering. We just cut off the dead branches and new green shoots come up every spring.
Growing roses is easy. I think it has a reputation becaus people hear too many stories about the difficulty of growing prize-winning roses and confuse it with growing roses in general.
@@jinushaun I don't know, they do need more taking care of than other flowers, and they are prone to various diseases and plagues 😅. But it definitely does depend on what kind you grow. If I could to back in time, or if the roses that I have now die 😂, I would grow the more hardy types...
Our 23 year old rose bushes are incredible (we inherited them, and didn’t plant it ourselves) I’m still proud of them! :) I’ve been sharing the blooms with our lovers ones- perfect for Mother’s Day & new grads. So lovely to see everyone planting more of these beauts! 😊
It's really lovely to see how your gardens have evolved since you moved there. I love the thought process on how you planned what goes where. It's always good to think ahead or have a bigger picture of what you want in the garden, which helps to allocate things.
Love that you're getting into Roses! I've been growing my collection of Old Garden (Antique) roses for 3 years now, but I interplant them with my herbs and veggies (My aim is a medieval apothecary garden). With interplanting them, i've found that it really helps keep pest damage at bay. I don't know exactly how or why, but the results for me have been great.
I'm glad you hit on the flower in the garden aspect. It isn't just a female view. My husband made a face when I planted some flower seeds in the his row garden. 😂 but now agrees it is nice. He actually fell for the zinnias and wants them every year. Food for the body and food for the soul. I have a Fragrant Cloud rose. Not the prettiest plant for me but the flowers are what a rose should be.
Can't wait to see how the roses do. Have you looked into certifying your garden as a wildlife habitat? Since you have a pond and more flowers for pollinators, I think you might have all the elements.
Really enjoy the chemistry between you two - it all comes across very natural & non-scripted, while being informative and entertaining. Can you link to the Jacques-back-story video?
I have killed everything inside and out. I do NOT have my papi's green thumb. BUT my roses in my front yard is a wall now. Water, fertilize and trim. I'm in AZ so for the summer, I let them almost die down as they're in full sun, but they come right back when the weather gets nicer with fertilizer with a vengeance. I have a little irrigation system I run at night 2-3 times a week in summer. Lot less in Winter.
I love your strategy for getting rid of bermuda/couch - it's the same as mine. I hate couch grass but it also seemed like such an overwhelming task to try to keep my entire garden free of it in terms of weeding and mulching. I remember googling "can I just mulch over couch grass and pretend it isn't there", hoping someone would assure me that was a reasonable long term strategy 😂 I basically hide it with mulch (lol) and cram in lots of deliberately planted things to hopefully outcompete the grass, repeating as necessary. Anecdotally, it is actually working to reduce the problem (not just mask it). If you were a fly on the wall in my garden you would probably laugh at me saying "NOBODY LIKES YOU" as I am pulling runners out of my asparagus bed... But it is definitely getting better. I have one garden bed that was planted on sheet mulch/compost over couch, and several years later, the couch hasn't really been able to re-establish itself, other than trying to come in from the edges or send up the occasional runner. The grass is still there, but it's sparse and can't get a good hold. It is slower to invade in densely planted areas. Plus, repeated mulching and groundcover plants acting like a living mulch means more moisture kept in the soil, which in turn means that any grass that I do find is far easier to pull up than trying to put it out of the native clay. Aside from going full scorched earth on it, I feel like it's not a battle you can really ever win entirely... the best I can hope for is to mostly keep it at bay. Occasional re-mulching, filling in gaps, opportunistic weeding, and the slowed regrowth seems to be enough to keep it mostly in check. Onion grass, on the other hand.. 🤬 I have a Birdies bed that I installed five months ago. Onion grass has emerged from the top of it. That means that over the course of five months, a tiny bulb has grown from the clay under the bed, pierced through the double thickness carton cardboard sheet mulch, up through a foot of soil, and through the mulch layer on top. Couch grass is deterred with a single mulching - this stuff needs multiple smothering attempts to completely exhaust its energy stores or it will relentlessly punch its way through to the surface (even if it takes five months of growing in complete darkness). Horrible stuff. But... I'll just keep planting more deliberate things to try to outcompete that, as well, I suppose. I don't have any roses yet but I have been feeling like this might be the year to add one to the mix. PS your laughing intros always crack me up.
Where is the Jacques video on the main channel where he talks about how he got into gardening and his tour of the garden you speak of? I can't find it, but I would love to see it!
You’ve got to explore David Austin roses, they’re incredible for fragrance and that old rose look. One of my favorite’s is Lady Emma Hamilton. The fragrance is amazing. I have them in my front garden about 60 feet away from the sidewalk and passers by can smell the scent. They also have a beautiful orange to peach to pink coloration. All I all, a fabuLous plant! By the way, I love how you guys just ´´wing it’´ in your planting, so real!
You will enjoy the roses, extremely easy to grow as you have learned from the roses on the arch. As a safe preventative I will suggest milky spore powder to fight against Japanese Beatles - the grubs in particular. Rose blooms will attract the beatles, I even go radical cutting off all blooms from June through August which is the period of time the beatles are out of the ground. The first big flush of blooms is in May, trimming them helps make a secondary flush into September instead of hit and miss blooming though the entire summer.
The Green Rose (R. Chinensis viridiflora) is actually a descendent of Old Blush. It's really all sepal, and while the florets are small, they're very unique looking. I highly recommend getting a 'Souvenir de la Malmaison', 'Madame Isaac Periere', 'Autumn Damask' or 'Madame Alfred Carriere' for some outstanding scent. But really just about any Damask or Bourbon is going to give you some fantastic perfume. Always opt for own-root if you can find them. ETA - You also cannot go wrong with 'Peggy Martin' - incredibly fragrant and hardy as all get-out. This rose easily survived two weeks submerged in salty water in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana after Katrina laid waste to the area. It's a very vigorous remontant climber.
Peggy Martin was president of our rose club and her favorite rose is Belinda’s Dream or was pre-Katrina. Old Blush from 1752 was the first remontant rosé introduced into Europe and is the ancestor of most of our reblooming modern roses.
my climbing rose (son bought me) is doing amazing, was never a fan of pink but these are so pale, delicate and gorgeous I have changed my mind. FYI i give it powdered eggshell every spring, yes I know it takes a year or so to be available but 4 years in and she is just gorgeous and the eggshells cost me nothing :D enjoy the flowers, I had been all about flowers having a limited grow area, now I do mostly veg with flowers where ever I can fit them.
I love my roses 🩷 glad you guys are getting into rose growing! They’re such a lovely addition to the garden. Setting them on drip will help to mitigate diseases, they are very susceptible to black spot and rust when they get wet. Highly recommend the company heirloom roses, all theirs have done phenomenal for me even in a not ideal climate. I always filter by the “exceptional” smelling ones, every time you walk by you get a blast of lovely smell! Helps to balance out all the other funky smells out in the garden 😅
my twin sister, when growing up, had a "Cécile Brünner". Still my favourite rose and in nearly 50 years since I left home, Kevin is the first persn I've heard name it (in another video). Thank you
Back when we lived in Arizona, our house had roses that were there before we moved in. They were huge and beautiful and amazing and we would get compliments all the time and people would ask "what's your secret?" and the answer was always, "we literally do nothing". The house we live in now has roses and we're hoping the do nothing strategy continues to work.
You can always try smothering the grass with a tarp. As you approach summer, the heat and the tarp would surely kill it off. That’s my lazy tip that works really well for me.
Got my order from Botanical Interests, so excited for the Jack Be Little and the Anise Hyssop! Thanks for the help, and sorry for the confusion the other day! 🤗🤗🤗 Can't wait to see those roses take off, especially the green one!! 💚💚💚💚🐸
I didn't order roses, but I'm super excited to get my seeds from you guys. The label was just printed. I forgot to order some things so I'll be ordering again. ❤❤❤
I love roses! One small miss from my perspective was not planting one of the roses in line with the walkway leading up to the perpendicular row of roses. That would have made for a really pretty sightline and nice walkup/approach. Thanks again for your great videos!
great time for a PSA about calling before you dig! your city has a phone number (three digits, typically x11 like 911) you can call for info like surveys about what kind of infrastructure you have installed underground, theres one for what to do with hazardous waste, all that good life stuff
If you guys have acidic soil pH you should look into planting gardenias. Probably some of the best/strongest smelling flowering shrubs and your conditions are great for them as long as your soil pH is below 7.
I have one rose bush, one of my very first additions to my garden. And holy shit that bush grew. It is thriving and I don’t know why. Might be the super sunny spot I put them. Nontheless I’m super happy with it. Such a wonderful fragrance. The only problem is I really need to keep it in check! My soil is also a LOT of clay. Peonies were a nightmare though!
I am very excited to see yall working on roses. Great timing, as I am in planning stages for growing my own rose garden soon! In August i am moving into an old Victorian and will be putting a rainbow rose row around the front porch. Finding as close to blue as I could was pretty difficult, for green I am picking up a Creamy Eden variety! Looking forward to any future rose videos :)
I never had any issues with my beloved rose plant for years except for beetles (until recently), they don't hit it as bad now that I have it big and established though. I've been hoping for it to ripen one of its seed pods for years now because it's grown from a cutting of a cutting and I think even that "original" was grown from a cutting so it's a little over cloned and doesn't grow from cuttings any times I've tried. For the first time this year they stayed on through the winter all the way up till now and are significantly bigger much like in pictures but haven't changed colors yet. I noticed suddenly ants were crawling all over the seed pods and was puzzled till I lifted the little dried up leaflet things and there were tiny white fuzzy bugs everywhere. Hopefully the pods will still ripen and they don't come back in too many numbers after what I did to them.
Sorry to inform you, the bermuda grass will never go away. We had a new lawn laid when we moved in over 30 years ago. I asked the the worker will the bermuda grass come back and he said ‘no’. Well we had the drought so at one point, I no longer watered the grass. It died, but when we started back with watering my flower beds, and a large vegetable bed, guess what came back? now my lawn is bermuda grass again. 🤣
great stuff, guys!! i can't believe you got fragrant cloud to look like that, it's MASSIVE. can't wait to see a lot of these get settled in and bloom. i know a few of the varieties you got and will be cool to see how well you can get them to grow and what your blooms will look like. when i was in FL we tried a buuuuunch of varieties and certain ones absolutely did better, against pests and disease and also heat. in GA now, north of ATL and likely the "good" list will be a bit diff. only just recently ordered a few to try. local garden shop was $$$ but i did get a white rose (cupped/peony shape) that smells amazing, called *Bolero.*
How are the EPIC banana's going these days? I watch a lot of your stuff and I haven't seen any figs or guavas! get after it! even better send Jacque after it!
Gardens looking good! :) I do believe doing things simply for the joy and beauty they bring is an important spice of life. Adding that element of lovely where we have the chance, why not? Also wondering what damage the chickens might be able to do to the Bermuda grass, if they were let loose in that area - could it be worth a try? Best wishes!
I'm going to try Chemistry Cache's recipe for Bermuda weed killer. It has a secret ingredient. I'm only going to use it on the perimeter of my veggie garden where I am still challenged by Bermuda.
I have a fragrant cloud rose as well and it’s by far-my FAVORITE! I just harvested some petals to try and make something with it. Idk what yet but imma do it 😂 would love an #epicpartner chat with the epic girlfriend and the garden hermits wife! (If they’re willing and want to be seen lol)
10:37 mark on the video... please tell us... what is that lovely, richly colored blue flower growing in the middle of that greenstalk? I am in love with that color! Oh, and can I buy seeds for it from Botanical?
Dude i literally just said the same thing earlier today! I, apparently, grow roses now. Started taking care of a climber on the property that ive never seen bloom, until this year! tons of beautiful deep red roses! I grow things. Apparently
I think those are a bit close together and too close to your path. 6ft tall, also usually means 6 ft wide. Of course you can prune, but with the old shrub roses, that can be a job! My grandmas shrub rose got well over 6ft wide. We pruned it almost to the ground every few years.
The only problem I have right now is swallow fly larvae on a couple of mine eating the leaves. I had to knock them down on one because of the amount of damage on a new from bare root plant
Veggies are my main grow to thing until I see my flowers. The flowers are my main grow thing until that first tomato. I grow all that I can for the fun of it. Tomorrow is fresh tomato sauce and pasta for dinner.
I actually went through a rose period, kind of close to my orchid period, and I did the whole systemic pesticide feed thing and sprays, etc etc etc. feeding, pruning. And if I missed it, the roses would get infested and would get mildewed. I did it for several years and it became very annoying. At some point, I decided to let the roses fend for themselves. I decided just to find the roses that did better without care. Instead of all my roses dying, I saw an ecosystem was developing. That started my path to today, where I feel bad even spraying aphids off the plant with water. Why? Because if I remove my predators' food buffet, I will be starving them or stunting their breeding. I went off roses for awhile. Today I have just one and just like you guys are finding out, it is doing perfectly fine without all the sprays and horrid pesticides. These days, heat is a greater concern, but a shaded arbor has worked well. I have been thinking about getting a few more roses, but I did not this year because I could not decide where they should go lol. When I figure it out, there will be more roses in the garden.
Roses are an actual addiction. First you get 1 to "add a bit of color" and slowly but surely it creeps up on you and before you know it, you have crammed them into every spare inch of ground space 😂
Maybe it would be easier to describe this as an expansion of your exotic fruit grove - you're growing rose hips. (Provided you don't cut all those flowers first. The petals are edible, BTW.)
Love seeing you guys finding the joy in ornamentals, and wish you luck with the roses! I used to have 36 David Austen roses and I honestly never had trouble with them, and I strongly suggest considering a weeping rose tree somewhere, they're unparalleled for beauty in my opinion.
I have one rose bush,we planted it when got this house,it was doing great until this year, now ,we have a earwig infestation and is killing it ,I think is just because all the rain,any advice?
Kevin, do you always garden in sandals? Do you ever just get dirt or wood chips under your feet? I sometimes go out in my sandals and end up doing a little garden work and without fail, I get dirt and wood chips under my feet. 😂
Only problem I have had is black spot disease on my roses. I am having an issue with my white rose that I haven't figured out. I think it might be some kind blight or fungus on the flowers themselves
"All paths must lead somewhere and encourage you pause at the destination or points along it ," according to landscaping principles. Where were you planning to end your path? Ooo, do you have a sketch of what you are planning?😍
If you plant lavender near or with your roses it will help keep aphids away from the roses. It’s why English gardens have roses and lavender together.
As somebody who has hundreds of roses, I can assure you having lavender does not keep aphids away from roses😂
What can you plant to keep black spot disease away?
It’s way too hot to plant lavender here in zone 9b Florida. What would you recommend as an alternative for hot, humid places?
I didn't realize how badly I wanted to know your guys story and the history of Jaques on the channel. Can't wait for that to be up.
🧐 I keep looking for it

great time for a PSA about calling before you dig! your city has a phone number (three digits, typically x11 like 911) you can call for info like surveys about what kind of infrastructure you have installed underground, theres one for what to do with hazardous waste, all that good life stuff
I looked up the Heirloom Roses - beautiful colors! Not sure the Green rose will do it for me, but interesting!
If you guys have acidic soil pH you should look into planting gardenias. Probably some of the best/strongest smelling flowering shrubs and your conditions are great for them as long as your soil pH is below 7.
It’s the laugh at the beginning of the video for me 😂
Ya know that short shovel/pick thing that Mark has on Self Sufficient? Offer one in your store!
I envy your garden, whats more pleasing now with aromas of frangrance and esthitically pleasing to eyes
What a great idea!
I have one rose bush, one of my very first additions to my garden. And holy shit that bush grew. It is thriving and I don’t know why. Might be the super sunny spot I put them. Nontheless I’m super happy with it. Such a wonderful fragrance. The only problem is I really need to keep it in check!
My soil is also a LOT of clay. Peonies were a nightmare though!
I am very excited to see yall working on roses. Great timing, as I am in planning stages for growing my own rose garden soon! In August i am moving into an old Victorian and will be putting a rainbow rose row around the front porch. Finding as close to blue as I could was pretty difficult, for green I am picking up a Creamy Eden variety! Looking forward to any future rose videos :)
I never had any issues with my beloved rose plant for years except for beetles (until recently), they don't hit it as bad now that I have it big and established though. I've been hoping for it to ripen one of its seed pods for years now because it's grown from a cutting of a cutting and I think even that "original" was grown from a cutting so it's a little over cloned and doesn't grow from cuttings any times I've tried. For the first time this year they stayed on through the winter all the way up till now and are significantly bigger much like in pictures but haven't changed colors yet. I noticed suddenly ants were crawling all over the seed pods and was puzzled till I lifted the little dried up leaflet things and there were tiny white fuzzy bugs everywhere. Hopefully the pods will still ripen and they don't come back in too many numbers after what I did to them.
Flower power 💪
Your such a nice couple ❤
Sorry to inform you, the bermuda grass will never go away. We had a new lawn laid when we moved in over 30 years ago. I asked the the worker will the bermuda grass come back and he said ‘no’. Well we had the drought so at one point, I no longer watered the grass. It died, but when we started back with watering my flower beds, and a large vegetable bed, guess what came back? now my lawn is bermuda grass again. 🤣
great stuff, guys!! i can't believe you got fragrant cloud to look like that, it's MASSIVE. can't wait to see a lot of these get settled in and bloom. i know a few of the varieties you got and will be cool to see how well you can get them to grow and what your blooms will look like.
when i was in FL we tried a buuuuunch of varieties and certain ones absolutely did better, against pests and disease and also heat. in GA now, north of ATL and likely the "good" list will be a bit diff. only just recently ordered a few to try. local garden shop was $$$ but i did get a white rose (cupped/peony shape) that smells amazing, called *Bolero.*
The guy with the shovel is in flip flops , I kept squinting every time the shovel went near his toes 😂🩴
I always make sure I have a nicely shaped bush
How are the EPIC banana's going these days? I watch a lot of your stuff and I haven't seen any figs or guavas! get after it! even better send Jacque after it!
Gardens looking good! :) I do believe doing things simply for the joy and beauty they bring is an important spice of life. Adding that element of lovely where we have the chance, why not?
Also wondering what damage the chickens might be able to do to the Bermuda grass, if they were let loose in that area - could it be worth a try? Best wishes!
I'm going to try Chemistry Cache's recipe for Bermuda weed killer. It has a secret ingredient. I'm only going to use it on the perimeter of my veggie garden where I am still challenged by Bermuda.
The roses 🌹I have came with the house. I am just here as an observer
My grandpa had the most beautiful nice smelling roses. I miss them. I've wanted to plant some myself, but i have limited space and funds. Maybe soon.
I have a fragrant cloud rose as well and it’s by far-my FAVORITE! I just harvested some petals to try and make something with it. Idk what yet but imma do it 😂 would love an #epicpartner chat with the epic girlfriend and the garden hermits wife! (If they’re willing and want to be seen lol)
I have one rose bush, a "Banshee" my buddy is a breeder and its a Canadian natural heirloom
10:37 mark on the video... please tell us... what is that lovely, richly colored blue flower growing in the middle of that greenstalk? I am in love with that color! Oh, and can I buy seeds for it from Botanical?
Dude i literally just said the same thing earlier today! I, apparently, grow roses now. Started taking care of a climber on the property that ive never seen bloom, until this year! tons of beautiful deep red roses!
I grow things. Apparently
I think those are a bit close together and too close to your path. 6ft tall, also usually means 6 ft wide. Of course you can prune, but with the old shrub roses, that can be a job! My grandmas shrub rose got well over 6ft wide. We pruned it almost to the ground every few years.
Flower Daddy! 😆
The only problem I have right now is swallow fly larvae on a couple of mine eating the leaves. I had to knock them down on one because of the amount of damage on a new from bare root plant
It's going to be so pretty guys. Why not continue the cardboard and wood chips in that area?
Can you make a video on your dragon fruit? Including the trellis. Thank you!
Veggies are my main grow to thing until I see my flowers. The flowers are my main grow thing until that first tomato. I grow all that I can for the fun of it. Tomorrow is fresh tomato sauce and pasta for dinner.
I actually went through a rose period, kind of close to my orchid period, and I did the whole systemic pesticide feed thing and sprays, etc etc etc. feeding, pruning. And if I missed it, the roses would get infested and would get mildewed. I did it for several years and it became very annoying. At some point, I decided to let the roses fend for themselves. I decided just to find the roses that did better without care. Instead of all my roses dying, I saw an ecosystem was developing. That started my path to today, where I feel bad even spraying aphids off the plant with water. Why? Because if I remove my predators' food buffet, I will be starving them or stunting their breeding.
I went off roses for awhile. Today I have just one and just like you guys are finding out, it is doing perfectly fine without all the sprays and horrid pesticides. These days, heat is a greater concern, but a shaded arbor has worked well. I have been thinking about getting a few more roses, but I did not this year because I could not decide where they should go lol. When I figure it out, there will be more roses in the garden.
Roses are an actual addiction. First you get 1 to "add a bit of color" and slowly but surely it creeps up on you and before you know it, you have crammed them into every spare inch of ground space 😂
Flower daddy merch coming????🤨🧐🤔🤔🤔🤔😀😀😀😀😀
Have you guys heard of the 30-60-90 -winter challenge?
Maybe it would be easier to describe this as an expansion of your exotic fruit grove - you're growing rose hips. (Provided you don't cut all those flowers first. The petals are edible, BTW.)
Love seeing you guys finding the joy in ornamentals, and wish you luck with the roses! I used to have 36 David Austen roses and I honestly never had trouble with them, and I strongly suggest considering a weeping rose tree somewhere, they're unparalleled for beauty in my opinion.
I have one rose bush,we planted it when got this house,it was doing great until this year, now ,we have a earwig infestation and is killing it ,I think is just because all the rain,any advice?
Kevin, do you always garden in sandals? Do you ever just get dirt or wood chips under your feet? I sometimes go out in my sandals and end up doing a little garden work and without fail, I get dirt and wood chips under my feet. 😂
❤roses❤🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Only problem I have had is black spot disease on my roses. I am having an issue with my white rose that I haven't figured out. I think it might be some kind blight or fungus on the flowers themselves
"All paths must lead somewhere and encourage you pause at the destination or points along it ," according to landscaping principles. Where were you planning to end your path? Ooo, do you have a sketch of what you are planning?😍
Nice. Could you just tarp the Bermuda before you get carried away planting into it?
Have yall thought about growing ur own hemp for the chicken bedding. I grow cannabis and it is such a beautiful plant .
Kev, how can you walk in those sandals with all that mulch around you? 😭
The bermuda grass is snickering at you
Well I do flowers too cause I get now food from my garden
Why don’t you take the area of Bermuda, and show solarization
Don't let your neighbors see you huffing the roses, they might call the police 🚨 😂😂😂 or the looney bin.😅
Make rose jam
Actually roses are edible, and delicious!
5:45 A Bulgarian who's intimidated by roses, that's a first
The opening cringe laugh is a signature at this point 🎭
