Scarborough fair from

- Опубликовано: 17 окт 2024
- Scarborough fair bred by David Austin roses, Is a really useful rose often overlooked but for the novice Gardner a really tough reliable and Hardy plant perfect for a pot
Reaching reliably just 3 to 3 1/2 feet tall this rose will flower well in most conditions, taking shade poor soil and even salt wind and still performing nicely so if you’re growing on a balcony or terrace this may be the rose for you
The buds are of the most delicate Apple Blossom White tinged with a shocking pink edge opening to the most beautiful soft pink this rose will also produce decent hips towards the back end of the season
The fragrance is strong and bears notes of old English roses and peonies,

Удивительно нежная красота! 👍❤️❤️
She’s absolutely stunning another for my list 📝
I love your enthusiasm for your roses. They obviously bring you a lot of joy. I planted an Ann Boylin rose in a corner of my vegetable garden this spring. The Scarborough Fair might make a good companion since it is a small area. Very pretty rose.
Your correct they most certainly do
Hi Ben
Many thanks for this review, this rose looks lovely. By any chance do you have video or photos how does this rose bush looks as a whole.
Many many thanks again :) thanks for all your reviews ❤
Thank you for your comment I’m glad you enjoyed the reviews. Scarborough fair is in a difficult spot in my garden and I need to focus this year on a little bit more media capture on this particular plant. There’s plenty of pictures to be seen here on my page and overall Instagram, but not to my knowledge and entire video or photograph of the whole bush it’s surrounded with other things
I was able to get a munstead wood for spring shipment 2023, and was thinking of putting her in the middle with 2 scarborough fairs on each side to make munstead the centerpiece, essentially to form a hedge. My bed is 10 feet long by 4 feet wide, and I was thinking of planting them about 2 feet apart center to center. Good or bad idea?
Looks like I’ll be buying yet MORE roses. Why you ask? The answer of course is: #itsbensfault!
Before I order some Scarborough Fairs, can you confirm the David Austin link to go through so that @gardenerben gets the David Austin credit?
Cheers 😊
Wow it's beautiful! 🌹🌸🏵🌹 So glad you reviewed this one! From your garden which DA roses attract a lot of pollinators and which of your favorite DA roses have few thorns ---would you recommend? 🌹🌸🏵🌹❤️
I’ve not created a “thornless collection” but I have created my “best for pollinators” collection you can watch that hear on RUclips or my Instagram enjoy 💚
Thank you Gardner Ben I will look for those 2 videos!
Hi Ben, thank you so much for this detailed review of Scarborough Fair. I've been eyeing this rose for a few years, and I'm currently debating between her and Eustacia Vye for a 17" terra cotta pot on my southwest facing balcony, where the plant will get 4-5 hours of direct sun from noon. Would you be able to comment on the shade tolerance of these two? Many thanks in advance. I've gone through your other videos on David Austin roses and learned a lot. Please keep up the good work. They're really helpful!
I’m so glad you have enjoyed them, If you can get up close to it I would go with Eustacia vye the scent it’s stunning as is the repeat
@@the_gardenerben Thank you for the advice! I placed the order for Eustacia Vye today =)
Nice! Do you have a picture of this shrub?
The buds look like quince flowers-- cydonia quince.

Munstead wood is gonna need a little bit more space. I’ll make sure that you have at least 36 inches between that and you’re a Scarborough fair it’s going to create a really large shrub around 5 feet high and possibly almost 5 feet wide
@@the_gardenerben how are the thorns on scarbourough fair?
@@Sunshine-xt1vb not too bad actually it’s fairly normal for a rose not one way or the other
Are you in sales or something of that sort? You’re very good at making people buy the product and feel excited about it haha 😂 I think i’m gonna get this one
I’m a gardener who loves English roses these opinions are my own observations, and thorts this review was filled in 2021, I am now a brand ambassador for the Brand
@@the_gardenerben Well you earned
it! Good job
@@Pailncclt thank you
I am looking for a DA rose that is hardy and blooms like a knockout. are there any others besides this one that would fit that description?
If you’re looking for tough resilient roses you’ve obviously watched the review for a Scarborough fair but do also take a look at Susan Williams Ellis, The mayflower Harlow Carr and the country Parson The last two I’ve listed I’ll probably the highest performing of that list there a full reviews for each here on my channel go on Instagram
@@the_gardenerben Compared to Oliva, Scarborough starts flowering after, before or about the same time?
@@Sunshine-xt1vb Olivia will always flower first
@@the_gardenerben Does your oliva have much of a scent? I have 2 planted next to our patio I bought in 3 gallon pots last year, but I am debating moving them and replacing with 2 scarbourough fair as I need something a tad bit shorter and am looking for more of a scent than my oliva has.
@@Sunshine-xt1vb Scarborough fair won’t out preform ORA
