Your content really is top notch, from making roses less intimidating, to reinforcing thinking with a greenhouse or growers perspective has been really helpful for my approach to gardening.
Thank you Jason for not being the rambling Rose and talking on and on about things we don’t want to hear about. Thank you for staying focused and on point, informative, efficient and organized in your video. Much appreciated. ❤
It put on quite a show this year, and (not surprisingly) it sold out on the farm. I'm taking cuttings shortly for next year, but in the meantime you might be able to find it in other nurseries under another name: 'Livin' Easy'
I really appreciate this video, Jason. I have been growing roses since 2003, but have finally learned from you the 5 leaf trick, instead of 3. The difference is amazing! Thank you!
Great video as always Jason.👌 The three leaf, five leaf detail is such a simple, but critical point to make and literally makes all the difference. When it comes to the rose hips, I am actually doing a mix, part dead heading and part hip maturing. That way as the flowers are blooming some of the hips can discreetly develop in between. Of course my plants are young, so this is also part of the learning curve for what each plant prefers as well. Once established they will have made up their minds and will know what that will be. Excellent content.🤙
Another really great video where I learn something I probably wouldn't have even noticed the different numbers of leaves signifying different growth factors. I am worried about pruning anything because I don't know what I'm doing. Thank you so much for all the info you give us.
I'm so glad I found your channel. I live south of you in Puget Sound Washington, but have the same climate so its really helpful to me to watch your videos. I just planted my first 2 rose bushes. One is a Hybrid Tea and one is a Floribunda. Doing well so far. Thanks for all the content!
Thank you Jason for your amazingly informative content. You are so well-spoken. I have a large climber, Laguna, which flowers with huge clusters and is quite stunning. I can’t access the individual spent flowers as it is against the house and very tall, with a border of plants in front. It is also extremely prickly! I use the hose on full blast to target the brown spent flowers. Then I use a tree-trimmer to reach the stems and lop them off.
Thanks. Good point. I talk about the 5-leaflet sets because that's the most common in modern hybrid teas and floribundas, but some other roses do have different leaflet counts. If you see a difference between the leaflet count near the flowers and further down the stem, go down to where it has the "normal" count for the rest of the shrub. If there's no difference in count, then just go by a pleasing height and shape.
Thanks for the video! One question I have is about what to do with David Austin roses’ octopus arms. Sometimes after I deadhead, DAs shoot out super long canes which will reflower but they look very unattractive on the plant. Should I cut them off? Is that just a choice I have to make based on whether blooms or overall plant shape is more important to me?
I think you've got it exactly right: it's a personal call about whether to let them throw these long (but productive) canes. I do find Austins in general appreciate a little more "freedom" in this regard.
Thank you so much ❤️ I just bought my first rose. I wanted to have a big hips harvest so I chose a ramble Kiftsgate. Now I want 'the big juicy one too' 🤣.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm I hope it will take over our birch tree. I just thought it would be nice to see it in blossom 🌸. Btw all inspired by your channel. ❤️ 🙏
That's a good question - but I haven't noticed any difference in outcome between stems cut when dry vs. wet. Unless you notice some sort of negative effect, I'd say just prune or deadhead when you have the time. The benefits of this hands-on attention probably outweigh any risks.
The Fellowship rose is stunning! Is it sold in your shop? Great pruning info. I noticed on the bottom of one of the roses there are a few leaves that have turned both yellow and brown. I am having this happening to my roses. Can you tell me what causes this? Is it sunburn? Thank you!
My first guess is just that the rose is giving up some of its older leaves as it moves nutrients to more producing foliage at the tips. If it becomes more widespread, it could indicate some moisture or nutrient stress, but I wouldn't worry about just a few leaves. Fellowship bloomed so nicely on the farm this year that we've sold out, but you may also be able to find it in other nurseries under the name 'Livin' Easy'
Great Video Jason love your videos. Can you tell us the difference between re blooming and continuous roses? Also can you make a video of the roses that have less problem with black spot or more disease resistant. If you already have a video can you direct me to the video so I can watch it. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge on roses 🌹♥️
2 of the rose cuttings I took were from a climbing rose which had a long stem snap and fall down. They just had the modified single leaf structure. They've been vigorously rooting for 2.5 months now without developing a single bit of new growth at the top, and I have been trying to figure out why this whole time. I don't know if I ever would have if it wasn't for this video. Thank you! Any idea if it's possible to encourage these stems to have new growth at all? I cut them where branches had been growing off just above single leaves, and thought that counted as a node, but perhaps they were just cluster stems :(
Leaflet counts vary by variety, but many of the modern hybrids have a "normal" leaflet count of 5. The point of the advice is to cut back to where the leaflet count is normal on mature growth rather then just to the lower-count leaflets up near the flower.
Video was very informative and helpful to me. also concise. Bought a home with all kinds of roses in the yard and had no idea what to do with them. I took notes during the video and will watch it again one more time this week before I tackle the deadheading task.
So useful, thank you! And talking of 5 leaf sets reminds me of the stems I occasionally see, especially in the Spring, of stems with with 7 leaf sets, which I presume are from the rootstock of grafted roses, don't relate to the variety, and so need to be removed at the base.
Hello! I've watched the video several times looking for the "climbers" section, including at the specified 6:55 time, but didn't find anything about how to deadhead climbers. Did I miss something? Please and thank you! Ray
I don't know Ray - the rose you see at that timestamp is Rosarium Uetersen, a climber. You may have to back it up a tiny bit more than that to see the whole section, but it's really just a matter of treating the blooms the same as you would on a single-flowering hybrid tea or as a cluster flowering rose, depending on its flowering style.
Most ramblers (but not all) are once-blooming, so it's not quite as important to stay on top of deadheading. Climbers are the same method as shown here (depending on whether they're solitary or cluster flowering) - but I know what you mean about trying to keep up: larger plant, more blooms, harder to reach! That's a judgement call: how much time and effort do you want to put in to encourage more blooms? I definitely visit them less frequently than the easy-to-reach shrub roses.
Jason the mind reader is at it again! Just this morning, I was seriously thinking of remodeling some of the girls. I did not. Thank goodness! Good education, thanks.
Hi Ann. If it's die-back during the active growing season, I'd suspect a fungal problem. It's not something I see here very much, but my general if it's a problem would be to time any light pruning to drier weather (to reduce spore germination) and disinfect tools between use. You mentioned in another comment that you're in India - and I know it's common there to rely on fungicidal sprays to hold off die-back. I wonder if something like sulfur spray might be useful rather than harder chemicals.
Thanks for thinking of me! I'm trying hard to keep up with nursery work here and the viewer messages - and I can't find a lot of time to chat individually. If you do have any specific questions, though, I'm happy to try to answer them in the video comments.
have you made a video about Rose disease? I have leaves that are yellowing with black spots. I've tried to cut them out and have pruned hard, but it's back this year on this one rose. thank you.
I did a video on black spot on roses: ruclips.net/video/ulx5GyaHAZg/видео.html There are a few "lookalike" conditions, but this is the most common and the treatment is similar for all (sanitation, judicious pruning, and maybe a potassium bicarbonate of sulfur spray)
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm I know what you mean. We are having a weird winter here. Very wet. Usually our wet comes in spring and summer and it is very much holding back our yields. We actually had the coldest maximum temperature yesterday in 22 years. It didn't get above 13C all day. So I guess I have to move now. Lol. Take care mate, great content as usual.
I usually let the roses bloom out without much deadheading in fall. It seems to help them settle down for the winter, and if the hips manage to ripen, it also offers some food for wildlife. The only pruning I really attend to in fall is a) dead, diseases, damaged or crossing stems (which is safe to do at any time of year) and b) any super long stems that can't be otherwise secured and would be damaged by wind or snow over winter.
My rose garden has lots of Japanese beetles, it’s hard to pick them and put in a soap water can one by one. Do you have a better way to keep the Japanese beetles away from the roses?
They're susceptible to BTg (like in the product Beetlegone). It also might be worth a try to grow pelargoniums in the area - researchers found the beetles were very attracted to the scent of the these zonal geraniums, and it makes them vulnerable to predators (or at least lures them away from the roses). I made a video discussing some of these techniques here: ruclips.net/video/8sPnOVTmuso/видео.html
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm thank you for your response and referred me to that great video. I am surprised I didn't see that video before (I have watched tons of your videos). It's interesting that I have planetariums with my roses, but I didn't see the beetles attracted to them.

The difference between experienced vs inexperienced…. Jason just grabs and cuts, I look, double check, triple check and then methodically cut. 😂
Jason that ‘fellowship’ rose is absolutely gorgeous, do you sell it at your farm? If so how much?

Aw, thanks Christie!
That was such a timely and useful video. I had no idea about the leaf differences. Genius!
Does deadheading to maximize blooms negatively impact the overall growth of the bush compared to simply snipping off the spent blooms?

Thank you so much! Exactly what I was looking for right now as I have some spent blooms from my first year DA Scepter’d Isle.
What about 7 leaflets? Sometimes I have to go way down the stem to find a fiver, but there will be a 7 leaflet higher up.
Leaflet counts vary by variety, but many of the modern hybrids have a "normal" leaflet count of 5. The point of the advice is to cut back to where the leaflet count is normal on mature growth rather then just to the lower-count leaflets up near the flower.

So glad to hear my laziness on deadheading the rugosa on the arbor (that means a ladder) is going to pay off.

A wonderfully helpful video. Thank you :) I wonder if pulling just the spent petals would adversely affect the production of hips?
Thanks Jeannie. No, just pulling off the spent petals makes no difference to hip production if that's what you're after.
Thanks for sharing.
How would you classify the morden roses?
Complex hybrids like these are usually just dumped into the "shrub" category - but they're reblooming, so deadhead a lot like the knockout roses.

Why are my shoots not getting buds?….
Usually it's just a matter of how much heat and light the plant has "counted" before it goes to bloom.
