Where do you think I should plant this Rise Up Lilac Days climbing rose?
Veggie garden?
@@GardenEvolution I was thinking the same, around the outside of the veggie garden
Would the rose work near your cocktail spot for the ultimate cocktail view? If I’m remembering correctly, there are lots of beautiful coral colors in that area and I think the lavender would be a perfect contrast. It is, after all, all about the cocktail view! 😉🌸❤️
In amongst the “circle” garden? Thinking of the chive blooms and purple basil…
Would it get enough sun by the flowering crabapple next to the path you just reworked to the new garden?
I vote for planting the lilac rose in your veggie garden. It'll attract pollinators and you'll be able to enjoy it while toiling away on your veggies. Thanks for your great videos Erin.
Margie - Erin either an olivia austin shrub rose or the lady of shalott would be a nice addition. ☺
Good luck with the new roses. I planted David Austin roses earlier this year and was worried because nothing was happening. Turns out the stupid rabbits were plucking off the leaves as soon as they popped out. I need a pet coyote.
We fashion chicken wire cages around the new roses at the Cooperative Extension demonstration garden here in Las Vegas. It helps to try and get the chicken wire down a few inches in the ground as the rabbits will just eat the roots right out from under it!
Almost 100k subscribers! I am happy for you.
Plant that rise up lilac days with your clematis on the obelisk in the circle garden. 💜
So, my mom is an avid rose grower. we are in zone 5, and the only year I've had trouble is when we had a severe cold winter with no snow = dead canes. Own root are always easiest for me, but the ones with a crown have to have the crown above the dirt line, and then cover with mulch in the fall before the frost. I don't pamper my roses in any special way other than feeding them about 4ntikes per season and covering the crowns on the fall. I usually tend toward the cabbage/damask roses (D Austin included!) and floribundas. Forgiving and lots of continual bloom!
Lilac in the veggie garden. Will be a great contrast to the dark beds and fence.
Hi Erin, Like you, I live in Zone 5b (southern NH). Have NEVER had luck with roses and so completely ignored them at the garden centers but last year, I couldn't resist buying a "Bloomables" Peach Lemonade rose at Lowe's that was half dead and marked down to $5.00. Brought it home, planted it under the empty bluebird house and it came through the winter with flying colors and so far it's doing fine this year, so I'm even braver and bought a double pink "Knock Out". Keeping my fingers crossed that the curse has been lifted.
Can’t wait to see what they look like in bloom 😉
I live in zone 5 Wisconsin over by Madison, and my soil is super thick clay… the roses do so well with it. They are a lot of maintenance to prune and prevent insect damage, but they bloom end of May through October for me, so worth it to me! I do the same with going for the zone 4 hardy roses. If it’s the same zone as me, I try to put it close to the house.
I'm in Wisconsin also & use to have roses at my last house. Was going to add some here but then the Japanese bettles came & I saw how they attack my friends roses, so I've just stayed away from them. It's a shame because that first rose she showed today needs to be in my garden!
I chuckled out loud a few times in this video. Really enjoyed getting the rose info as I am in the same mindset of being on the verge of giving up on roses. Maybe I'll try again, thanks to you.
Thank you for sharing. Love roses and I do have one rose in my garden. Looking forward to seeing just how your roses will grow in the growing season. Enjoy and have a great day.
"bull-pucky" 🤣 You are forever my kind of gardener. 😊
When I played that back I thought, “I don’t think I’ve ever said that in my life!”
@@TheImpatientGardener The things we say trying to not say what we really want to say 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Looking forward to seeing them all bloom! The lilac one is soooo beautiful!! On another note you are getting super close to 100k subscribers!!
I’m also in 5b, but I have a slightly longer season here in Northern Indiana (my roses are fully leafed out). My Oso Easy rose is indestructible, and my David Austin is more sensitive, but does fine with mulch protection. Last year I planted one of the Canadian roses (John Davis), and that thing is a beast! First to leaf out, not phased at all by a couple of late frosts, and it’s all budded up.
I'm really interested to see how this trial goes, Erin, because I have had very similar thoughts about and experiences with roses in my zone 5b Vermont garden. In fact, I had decided never to buy another rose if it isn't hardy down to zone four. I also agree with you about fragrance; that's so much of the appeal of a rose! Looking forward to seeing how they look this time next year. Thanks for sharing this with us!
Hi It's Bonny in zone 5b Canada. I think a lot of people in the colder regions have problems is because they don't plant them deep enough. I always bury the graft union on all roses. I give no winter protection. It was a hard winter for roses this past winter. I had to cut back my David Austin and hybrids to the ground. They all survived. It's true about planting roses where other roses have been. i plant my roses in compost.
I do plant bare roots deep. Hmmm, maybe I should have cut a bit harder on some of those David Austins.
I'm on the fence with roses too but when I see them in other yards it makes me want them. Garden Crossings is my garden center! :)
Love to see how they will establish in your garden. I don’t have a large area that gets enough sun for Roses. I was at Garden Crossing last weekend and they have beautiful plants, if anyone is thinking of ordering you won’t be disappointed with their plants. 🌼🐝
I’m with you as far as roses. But the Ringo has me thinking I might add a couple 😬 damn you Erin!
Good luck Erin! I just started buying roses a few years ago when we bought our first home. I bought a bunch of Kordes/Knock Out roses before discovering the really big, very double roses like the David Austins, the Koko Loko, Earth Angel, etc. My kordes are big & beautful & doing Fantastic, so Im hoping the David Austin's & others I bought from "Heirloom Roses'' this year & last year do great as well! 🤞
I just bought rise up lilac days! never seen such a pastel lilac climbing rose, so excited, plus it can be pruned as a normal shrub rose for landscaping, so versatile!
I'm an experienced gardener and I have had so many roses decline and die on me over the years. What I found generally worked on my city terrace was just experimenting: trying different cultivars that seemed as though they should do well in my conditions. Eventually hit upon some that thrived, including a monster Eden climber. Own roots seem to do better. Unfortunately the new country property had a circle of Knockouts heavily infested with rose rosette and many invasive multiflora roses (a vector for RR) being grown in the beds. Ripped those all out but there are still multifloras in the woods. Eradicating the multifloras will be a multiyear project, alas! Those things are monsters. Anyway, can't really try new roses until I get the situation more or less under control. Good luck with the PW roses!
Can’t wait to see those blooms! I’ve taken to buying own-root rugosa roses from Heirloom Roses (not recommended in areas where they become invasive) because they are tough! Super hardy, spiny to keep deer mouths at bay, gorgeous scent, and hips for the birds. This year one bush is already sending up babies and I’m hoping will eventually form a nice thicket. I haven’t seen insects or disease on them and I love their highly textured foliage-gives me something to enjoy even without the blooms.
Good info! Those rose thickets are excellent nesting sites for birds because it keeps the predators out -
Garden Crossings ships beautiful plants. I like to buy local but have ordered some harder to find proven winners and they ship healthy plants. Those roses are gorgeous. Good luck!
Love your videos Erin! Can't wait to see how the new roses perform for you. Totally off topic, I live in zone 5b also but Cheyenne, Wy. My Lemony Lace Elderberry is 6 years in the ground and stunning until two weeks ago. My assumption is verticillium wilt. I have 5 different elderberries in other locations in the garden and wondering how yours are doing. I have no clue what to plant in it's place. as everything I like is not resistant. Love to know how you filled that huge void of loveliness in your garden Here's to the next Wine and Weeds or for me, whine and weeds as I, too, have perennial bellflower.
I am absolutely obsessed with roses!! I have 250, and climbing( pun intended:).Anything that doesn't smell gets taken out the following winter. Your new roses are exciting!! Just remeber...the 1st year they sleep, the 2nd year they creep and the 3rd year they leap!!
250! Oh wow ... that is a proper obsession!
My favourite hardy rose is Morden Blush which is was developed on the cold Manitoba prairies (zone 3). It’s compact and has a lovely fragrance. I was happy that mine survived being buried under a 6 foot tall snow bank this past winter with only one broken cane!
Lovely roses--so happy to hear they were all Ok to Zone 5. I live in 5a? Colorado--not good for most roses really. I gave up except for my Dr. Huey rootstock that was left when the graft failed or froze one winter. I love it. Deep red roses, very carefree with a bit of pruning and keeping it tied up.
Oooh, I will be tuning in to watch those pretty roses. I had some roses we had to remove, the first & 2nd year they were spectacular, after that.. not so much. Fertilizer didn’t help either, so we’re not doing those again in that spot. I didn’t know you’re not supposed to put them where another rose once was, glad to know. Thanks for all these tips Erin. Love your garden. 🥰 Chris
There is a way of avoiding rose replant disease. You need to place a cardboard box in the hole and place the new rose there. Filling the box with new soil. Bunny Guinness, the UK garden designer, on her youtube channel has uploaded info on how to plant. Good luck!
Roses can be picky. Thanks for "keeping it real" and not pretending that they're so darned easy to grow. Glad to see you're not letting that stop you from giving them another try. If I can get my hands on an Oso Easy Italian Ice rose from Proven Winners, I'm going to give it a try, too. 💜💜
The Italian Ice is a beautiful rose.
I grow Italian Ice and it is very healthy and beautiful 💜
Perfect spot for the "Rise Up Lilac" rose........my yard😁
Thank you for sharing this video. I’ve been researching roses as I want to add some to my garden. I’m in zone 4 Minnesota and don’t want to deal with putting in containers and bringing in doors. I’ll be looking at these new PW ones you’ve shared. They are all gorgeous. But that yellow one is what I’m really excited about!
That last plant, I wonder if you can mix it in to your other rose circle since you have some that aren’t looking good-you can have that there to help fill in.
Pretty roses! I love roses, and am determined in taking care of them. Adding a couple or more DA each year. I am in 5b as well, but in central IL and a bit ahead of you. My canes looked a bit sad after winter, but after pruning the dead ends off, and giving rose fertilizer, about 6-8 weeks ago they now look like rose bushes, and are getting budded up. I was a bit impatient to get them going when we had mild weather in March. Then it turned cold again, but thankfully they did fine. I think the sandy soil may be the problem .
The lilac one you can planted in my garden!😉🤗💛💗I commented before the end of your video.😁
You might be right about the wall and watering. I planted our roses several times on our hill. I purposely bought ones that said " tough/ continuous bloom" after first year I admit I did not water every week, feed frequently. The idea was low/ no maintenance. But most failed or struggled after 3 years. I moved survivors next to house. AMAZING! We are on second year, but the plants have fully recovered and are completely leafed out, and HUGE now. It's amazing what just location alone can do.
😀That's exactly what I was going to say, My House!! lol I'm sure you'll pick the perfect spot!
I have been growing David Austin roses for over 20 years in northeastern Ohio. The absolute best one I grow is The Generous Gardener. It is a climbing rose that gets 10 to 15 ft tall for me. It has pale pink very fragrant flowers and it never has any problems with disease even when all of the roses around it have horrible black spot.
I really hope these work out well for you! I can completely relate to the love hate with roses. I have found David austin to be much more high maintenance and have lost several. One of my favorites is proven winners at last rose, I can completely neglect it and it thrives. Looking to add more like that to my garden- I cant afford any more high maintenance roses ;) looking forward to seeing how these last for you 😀
I’m in 5b as well in Newfoundland. My roses did the same thing. Lovely…to not so much. They had all the soil and sun they needed. I took them out some years ago.
I think you should put all your roses including the ones that aren’t coming back so well along the the little rock retaining wall that had the one rose living for two reasons-1. that rose was doing well (maybe because of the heat off the wall) and 2. you said you would like to revamp that bed anyway. So make it a rose bed. Two of your healthiest roses were either against a wall or your house. Maybe they need that protection? IDK-Just a thought- love all your videos!
Hi Erin, Madison wi also. I have a few roses not sure what kind they were here when we moved in 11 years ago. I do nothing with them and there still hanging in there. I love the idea of planting your rose in the veggie garden.
Haha ! My Rose's came up just one stick . I was so happy . One tiny bud of Russion sage. One bud of hydrangea and same for burning Bush.
Zone 3 gardening is VERY challenging !
Sometimes it's best to give up and stick to Cotoeaster and Dogwood .
You are very fortunate but maybe stick to the climbers so you don't have a big bar area if they don't thrive.
I bought a patio rose for the first time this year. My mother had a rose bush in the side yard at the house I grew up in. She never watered it, never fertilized it, never pruned it. It came back big and full and beautiful and fragrant every single year. It was there for all 20 years I lived there, and, in fact, I think it was actually there when my parents bought the house. I have never thought of roses as being particularly high maintenance in the slightest... Until I bought one and started reading about them.
There are lots of things I don’t love about gardening in a high mountain desert (zone 6b), but I can’t complain about how roses do for me. They actually like my clay soil and that my humidity hovers around 10% all summer! Hope you crack the code with these because they look like they could be spectacular!
You’re my kind of girl, Erin. Bull punky! I laughed out loud. I guess I love that you love your gardens, but don’t treat gardening like the end of the world. You go girl🤪🤗❣️
Plant it in a pot on your deck (sunny side). Good luck, and cheers.
This last winter in NE Oregon left many of our roses blackened. Yet they have all popped out of that funk and have growth…but from the base. Now a few of us are left wondering what rose we’re going to get: the grafted rose or the original rose. At least they are alive!
I’m in zone 6a with super super super sandy soil... Roses come and go here! But I like to experiment with them. The native roses are so far glorious and happy though, and I love them for it. Plus I got some of those Canada series ones... I don’t love the bright colors but I love that they too are happy. I agree with you on scent, alas. I figure with roses I need to start planting them in almost pure compost here...
Wow
Most of your David Austin’s look pretty good! They are really heavy feeders! They benefit by sprinkling fertilizer in the spring before they flower and again after they flower for re bloom. Also David Austin recommends when planting to sprinkle the roots with mycorrhiza fungi! They sell little packets of it. This makes a huge difference their roots grow very strong with it! You have a beautiful garden!
So advice I got from gardener’s world (UK) is planting depth matters A LOT. They say: most climates, plant to just below graft union/knuckle. Use a Leaf mulch or similar for protection from frosts/snow. Climates w/super cold, snowy, hard freeze, long winters; plant to just cover the graft union/knuckle. Use mulch for additional protection, rather than planting too deep in soil. If the depth isn’t right for your climate you can have chronic disease problems, failure to thrive, stunting of root growth, root rot, rot of root stalk, inconsistent blooms, lack of longevity & simply death.
Erin ~ I can't get through this entire video because you are cracking me up!
Re: the adage about rose planting: "I'm gonna call that bull pucky and move on with it." LOL! So funny -- made me chuckle! But seriously, I hope these new roses will perform well for you. "Roses are special. We've covered that." LOLOL!!
Zone 5A here in western Nebraska. I have the exact same issue here with roses as you do. I have spent so much money on roses and they do great for the first year and then die or almost die. I have also sworn them off many times. Last year I planted maybe seven roses and I was so proud of them and they looked so beautiful but I am not seeing any new growth on most of them.
hi Erin. How about planting it over by those hydrangeas by the patio that have the Lacey blooms that are pink.. You could plant it on the back side of that bed towards the driveway? Just a thought.
Thanks Erin! I'm wondering if I want to try a rose this year 🤔
I was able to smell that Yellow “Rise Up” at our local botanical gardens this last weekend. It had a wonderful scent. I sort of feel the same way you do about roses…I’m not convinced they’re worth it! It’s a banner year for roses here, however, and now I’m tempted to try again.
Erin, since that is a climbing rose, it might look great trained on the outside of the fence surrounding your vegetable garden. Another place might be by your deck, growing on a horizontal trellis. Of course, if I had said, in my yard... then I'd have to find a place, lol! I hope you're having a great day! ~Margie😊
I have similar issues being < 1 mile inland from Lake Michigan in my part-sun Chicago courtyard...bad conditions for growing roses for sure. I know you demand a scent if you're going to call it a "rose", but I've had tremendous luck with At Last roses. Excited to see how these new babies do for you Erin :)
I would plant your blue/purple Proven Winners rose above the area where you have the Crown Princess rose. Those three roses in that area around your deck would really be beautiful to look at.
Thank you so much for being an honest gardener! I always appreciate seeing fails and struggles because I experience them too! I lost three David Austin roses last year. The first year I planted them they were dropdead gorgeous and have, just as you described, declined over the next three years.
Can you tell me what direction that side of your house is facing where you have the trellis? I have an idea of planting some climbing roses along the east side of our house but I am wondering if it will get enough sun.
Erin - the only thing I do differently from you (apart from I have clay soil) is I fertilize much less than advised for rose care. In fact, beyond two or three sprinkles over the summer, I don't do anything but make sure they're well watered. I really think over fertilization can lead to problems with toxic levels of some nutrients, eventually weakening plants. For your David Austins, you might want to cut the canes to about 6 inches late fall/early winter & piling the crowns with 3-4 inches of mulch.
I really love your videos. Thank you for sharing your beautiful garden with us : )
Maybe in same area you planted first new (Ringo) rose? I like the idea of near your veggie garden too. I have love-hate relationship with roses here in zone 6a…always trying to decide if they’re with the “extra” effort. Good luck!
I have the same love hate with roses. I find heavy mulch around the base helps. Maybe try the purple by the veggie garden
I don't know your process but I'm in zone 5 and I finally realized roses are heavy feeders and so feed them RoseTone once a month and mulch with leaves over the winter. It has been a real game changer for me. The extra food was the trick for me.
Good luck!
My roses are fed a minimum of four times a season plus occasional seaweed feed when I’m doing the dahlias. I don’t think a lack of fertilizer is the issue.
Hey Erin! I've pretty much given up on roses... not so much the hardiness issues.. it's the black spot/japanese beetle issues. After the glorious June bloom, the spot and the beetles so hammer the poor plants that I don't want to look at them!. My suggestion for your lilac rose is to try it in a pot. Maybe heel it in over the winter? I live in western MA, same zone as you, and always thought we couldn't keep anything in pots over the winter, but that thought is changing!!!
Hello from CA zone 9 with clay soil. I would suggest the rose go in the warmest place on the property, wherever that is, and give it heavier soil than the native soil you mentioned. Ours are planted between the sidewalk and the road and they love it. We amended the clay, mulched, and water deep (two 2 gallon emitters running 30 minutes once a week, then twice a week when temps stay at 100F. Update - I'm trying once a week watering for an hour per our local Ag teachers recommendation. Fingers crossed.)
Leave it to Proven Winners to keep you in the game! You could change your channel name to the reluctant rosarian. We have Fighting Temeraire because of you, and it has become one of our favorites. ❤️
I planted 3 bare root Rose's 2 weeks ago after "last" frost date & we then got a snow storm. I covered and 🤞 they grow! CO zone 5
In 4b I'm having luck (so far) with species roses (r. Blanda and r. Arkansana) and Rosa glauca. Little care needed. Looking forward to hips for the birds!
@Brittany Post - I also live in Madison & my roses do really well here. I agree it's probably the clay soil; I think roses really like clay. So far, I've only grown David Austin roses (planted bare root) & they're looking bushy & healthy - way beyond my expectations. I even planted a 'Lady of the Lake' last year, thinking I'd just treat it like an annual since it's a zone 6, completely ignored it over winter & it's come up even stronger this year!
Just ordered rise up lilac
I love roses too but they don't do great for me; I'm determined to have a good season this year though! I trimmed them back and fertilized them and so far they are looking good! I'd definitely love that lilac colored one and will be on the look out for it; Wish I could suggest a spot for yours!
Alfalfa meal has been great for my roses. That would be worth a try 🤷♀️
Alfalfa had been great for mine too! I've noticed a major difference!
I’m planting roses this year and as a newbie I’m slightly terrified 😬 😂 I did plant two rather basic, Centennial Morden Home Depot specials last year that are doing okay (minus the rabbit damage at the base and some chlorosis which I’m treating) but I have my first David Austin coming shortly (oh Munstead Wood, how many years have I coveted you!). I was going to container it because of the rabbit situation but I seem to keep killing things in containers (despite frequent watering and over wintering in my garage). I think I’ll just go for it and plant her in the landscape... excited for my first blooms! 🌹
I love your informative videos! If you’ve had a rose with rose rosette, you’re not to plant another rose in that area. I would like to try Proven Winners roses somewhere where the deer won’t eat the tips off.
Erin, have you tried composted horse manure to enrich your sandy soil? Roses are really greedy. I plant mine in manure, I add more around the plant each spring, and I give them some liquid feed a few times each summer.
Hi erin. Id say put it in your vegetable garden where you put your tulips.
Have you thought about getting rosa rogersa theyre amagenta pink old rose and prolific i got my dads old 1 and im training it to a triple standard. The fragrance is out of this world flowers dont last long but tje rose hips are huge and a gorgeous colour.
Good luck yr 2 of roses
I tried roses too. It didn’t go well. I just enjoy it from people who do grow them well like my local city park. They have a small rose garden. 😂
I grew a rose ( just 1!!) for years.....did nothing to it and it thrived, eventually gave it to a neighbor. This year I decided to purchase my first David Austin (you officially have me scared!) Have already given it too much water as I was treating it as a new plant and watered often....yup, it told me with yellow leaves, okay so not watering as much now! I got Epsoma rose tone, the bag says after planting apply monthly....maybe yours are not getting enough fertilizer? But don't go by me, remember, I already have yellow leaves!! Fingers crossed it makes it through the season, HA! I will keep my fingers crossed for yours as well :)
I'd love to take your Ainwicks and baby them back to health! Pack 'em up and ship them over, lol. They take LOTS of water and feeding. My garden isn't anywhere as big as yours so I can spend more time with them. Start with a fertilizer heavier in nitrogen, then you can boost them a bit with a fertilizer heavier with phosphorous for flowers. This year, I would concentrate on the nitrogen though, to get them healthier. Good luck! And, like I said, if you get tired with them, I'd love to try to bring them back to life, lol. As for the lilac one, get a pretty trellis and stake that puppy right up on it. For more blooms, you want to train the lateral canes as horizontally as you can (you mentioned your one climber has blooms at the top), so maybe you can pull some of the laterals down and start training them horizontally. If you know all this already, sorry! :)
Ok I should finish the video before I comment, lol. All I can say is if you live with cats, well you get interrupted. You know about laterals. Re the DA roses. I’ve found that they are slow growers at first. I’ve read that they take about 3 years after planting to really start dazzling. I’m in SE Michigan, zone 6A and I’m starting to see some good growth from the ones I planted last year. My Crown Princess Maggie did absolutely nothing last year when I planted her but this year she’s showing some nice growth. I’ll do a vid later to show it. Also, I think we all have had such a long cool spring that everything is behind. I think in a month or so we will see a real difference. :). Maybe plant the lilac climber on the outside of your vegetable garden fence and you can train her on that?
The only roses I’ve actually had success with were own-root shrub roses. ‘The Fairy’ fits the bill for pink fluffies all season long and could probably survive anything. I have never had any success with the fun-colored roses. I think that lilac rose would be beautiful and look very romantic climbing up a trellis in the veggie garden though that area might be too exposed for it in the winter.
I love "The Fairy" rose, too. It has been the only rose I could neglect and it would still keep blooming.
I remember growing roses in the north( western NY ) they did well as long as u protect them over winter!
Now living in GA for twenty yrs! Sometimes they keep their leaves all winter! They still have same problems, black spot, etc.
I’d put the climber lilac by your pergola?
I would use it as an excuse to purchase a new, stunning obelisk and plant it where it can be the exclamation point 💜❣️
Erin,
If it were me, I'd put the 4th rose in a sunny spot where it can be seen while I drink my morning coffee--your porch, perhaps?
Speaking of your porch, I love the railing design--lets you see so much thru it. What is the design called & what company makes it?
Thank you for all you do!
Hey Erin! Some David Austin Rose's are difficult to grow in the midwest with hot summers with humidity but you can go online and find which ones work best for your area.
I had pretty lengthy conversations with the folks at DA before selecting Alnwick. Fortunately we don’t generally experience the high humidity as much (cooler by the lake and all).
I feel the same way
. I bought the at last rose and i am not sure if they are going to be as great as last year .I am in zone 4
I believe I live in zone 6- Indiana… I have knock out rose bushes..love them! All I do is cut dead heads off and water when needed. I have four other rose bushes different names (I don’t remember)One is 21 years old and the climber is 18 years old..I do the same thing to all of them…easy peazy
Can you leave a link for those feeder packs? Thank you.😊❤️
I feel the same way about roses.
I don't want to deal with the bugs or black spot, etc.
May I suggest Savannah Sunbelt by Kordes. Hardy in Zones 5-10 and has a strong old rose scent. It is an amazing performer.
The phrase applies to when you have had a sick rose in that spot. After you remove a sick rose, you’re supposed to let the soil rest after you amend it. At lease that’s what my grandmother taught me.
Even if the previous rose was healthy, the soil becomes toxic for other roses. Nematodes being one of the reasons. It stays toxic for over a decade apparently. The paper said to replace the soil or potentially planting certain merygolds may help.
100 percent agree with you. Roses MUST have fragrance! Otherwise no matter how beautiful it is there is always disappointment
I am with you on roses. I love them but in my zone 5b they struggle even being listed for my zone. I have had better success with Jackson and Perkins roses. Wedding dress is a shrub rose that has rebloomed for me and I do deadhead it after its first bloom but I don't fertilize or fuss with it. I agree I like a rose hardy to at least one zone below mine. Rose bushes are an investment.
How about an update on these 4 roses?
I am also zone 5b near Milwaukee, and I have never been able to get any rose to grow so I gave up and I grow hydrangeas.
I love roses and even thought about trying that At Last Rose (must have scent). Then I think, do I really want to go out every morning in July and pick off the Japanese Beetles. I currently have one rose left that gets that Bayer systemic. I don't like to use the stuff but to save the rose I will. What were those little sachets and purpose?
Maybe plant the lilac rose in a flower pot and move it around the property to see where it works. When you do decide on the location maybe create a freestanding trellis for the lilac to climb or create a mini wall like you did earlier. It seems your roses do better when they are attached to the house wall or the mini rock wall. Only suggestions.
Just curious how the proven winner tosses you planted in this video are doing in year two? I just bought a Rise Up Lilac Climbing Rose and will be using it in a trellis. I love the purple color and fragrance.
Have you planed it yet? If not, why not use a really pretty (complimentary color) pot and put it where you can enjoy it lots...and can be moved whenever you need that color elsewhere. I love roses in big pots...have you ever tried "Color Magic"? It's a lovely hybrid tea with lovely color and amazing fragrance! Happy trails, can't wait to hear what you decided! ❤🌺👀
I agree with you, Erin, if a rose has no scent then forget about it! I share my opinion with everyone to remind them that yes Roses have an exquisite scent - don't give me those boring skinny fake looking soul-less bouquets! 🌹 💐 🏵 🥀 🌹
