I planted her bareroot in November 2020, in July 2021 she had already reached a hight of 4´x 4´ and she had produced an abundance of flowers until end of November (the last rose in bloom in 2021). No sight of blackspot the whole time. Yes, you are right this Lady is a statement plant (even though I´m not the biggest fan of the colour orange - my problem) and a workhorse and I love her. Thanks for the review, as always I agree! Stay safe, Hanni.
I have her planted on either side of the entrance to the front door. I find the scent light and refreshing. I'm in Australia , she is north facing (hot winds in summer) full sun and she is thriving, still has sporadic flowers through winter. I love ❤️ this rose but it's hard not to love most roses. Ps I have purple iris at her feet. 💗
I like having the variety that this rose provides my garden. (I tend toward pink, purples, reds...) This one blooms well as long as I fertilize regularly. Blooms are medium size on mine and the color fades a lot as the blooms age.
I am so excited to see the first bloom of the Lady of Shallot in my yard this weekend. It is absolutely stunning. I did not expect much of a scent but turns out to be stronger than my expectation.
Is it true the Lady of Shallot sold as a climber is the same for shrub, it is just how you prune? I bought the “climber” version, but now think I really want to just keep it as a shrub, so wondering if I should return it? Thanks for your channel!❤
I plant this summer The Lady of the rose tree start bloom. My tree is small and all the branches is not upright, is it because it is a new plant. The roses are so beautiful
@@Susan-k6u1x some varieties will always hang and nod gracefully due to the size of their flowers. This are many varieties does change with age as the plant produces stronger thicker and woodier growth.
Great video-I'm making my list of roses to add to the property. How do you deal with insects pests? Last year my roses had issues with bud worms and japanese beetles.
Goodness both of those are nasty I have made videos in the past about pest control I’m fully organic so use things like ladybirds and nematodes encouraging birds into the garden and offering them habitat and also looking after your soil feeding your plants with mulch and making sure they are strong and healthy to rebuff attack from insects and disease
Hi there...in our message exchange on your another video you recommended roald dalh over vanessa bell. But DA is out of roald dalh. I plan to buy gabriel oak, Eustacia vye and one more. I would like to grow in big pots but I can also put them in ground. Since Roald Dalh is not available, would you suggest Lady of Shallot? I find the color orange really good.
@@pretty95138 no problem, obviously bring me Sunshine was launched in 2022 I have offered my first impressions in a video for you to watch here, but it is an incredibly good rose and you will see it climbing very high into the top 20, possibly even the top five of my most highly recommended this year
Tottering by gently will be reviewed by myself this coming soon once this has been the ground for over a year and morning mist was a new one on me I just had to google it I’ve never come across that Rose before so I won’t be able to help you with that when I’m afraid
@@the_gardenerben Thanks for replying I have morning mist it's a big tall single flowered coral/ tangerine colour rose I planted it last year in quite a shady area but it flowered it's head off and remarkably hasn't dropped 1 leaf during winter also bees love it I was just curious to see if you had it in your collection I'm thinking of buying tottering buy gently as I think that may be a winner too but I will hold out until I have seen your review 👍
I am about to invest in Morning Mist! Did you get Tottering By Gently? I have it and love it. I am always drawn to the simple, open flowers, partly for the pollinators and partly because I sometimes find that the larger, heavier rose blooms get weighed down when it rains and it does that a lot here. Plus TBG has hips, which I also love, it shows up beautifully in the evening and the name!
one of the best rose I have👍！my garden suffering from possum and birds ， do you have good way to repel animals ？currently I am using bird net cover all the roses， make garden looks weird 😢
My goodness I’m very glad I don’t have those problems to contend with here in the UK we don’t have very many animals which will attack rose bushes like that but I would think that physical repellents such as the netting you’re using would be the best line of defence
Hello there...can you please tell me how much growth 'Lady of Shalott will put out before she flowers that first flush? If I were to prune her down to 6" from ground level, how tall will the plant get before it flowers?
It will be in excess of 120 to 150 cm tall somewhere between four and 5 feet however, I would say that pruning that harshly is probably a little too much. You almost want to double what are you leaving on? I don’t thrown anything lower than around 12 to 15”, 30 to 45 cm.
@@the_gardenerben Then you're fortunate indeed because here in zone 4/5 Canada, we haven' any choice since winter dictates how much we prune. Even with winter hilling & protection, it forces us to prune the damaged canes remarkably that low. Just the temperature alone of - 32 Celsius (-25.6 F) is enough to kill tissue substantially. I'm asking because I used to prune Heritage and St. Swithun low to that effect and they vigorously produced 4 - 4.5 ft long canes for their first flush, so it was a dream when they bloomed. Not all Austins will do this, however. So I was wondering about the good 'Lady of Shalott' as I have two of them on order. Thank you. 🌹
Can I please ask if u had to choose between Lady Shallot and Bring me Sunshine , which one would be better? Both will have to be in huge planters (50 cm)/ troughs. Already placed an order for Gabriel Oak and Lady of Shallott. But rethinking .. would love to have all three but sadly have space for just two for now. Thanks for the review videos too! They are all helpful!
Thank you Ben, for such a prompt response!! Will have to change my order if they allow☺️ So Gabriel Oak and Bring me Sunshine it is then❤️ Love your videos!! Thanks again!!
@the_gardenerben Thank you. I can't find any online portal which can deliver the genuine quality of David Austin roses in India. I have been searching for these varieties for the last one year.

May I ask a question: How's about sunshine requirement for Lady of Shalott?
Is lady of shallot in color orange or yellow? Can you also suggest david austin that has also big cup flower?
@@ambut_nalang it’s definitely a brassy orange I would certainly not pacify this particular flower yellow. It has many coppery brassy tones.

Typo...I meant "wondering" about the Lady of Shalott.
The red leaf persicaria is stunning with this rose! I envision it being planted in the garden with dark leaf penstemon as well.

Well, considering that bring me, Sunshine is ranked my 2023 number one most recommended David Austin rose. It would have to be a Bring me Sunshine

Love your videos!! Thanks again!!
I planned on getting a bundle of 5 for a hedge but the area is only around 8ft would 5 be too dense for such an area?
Realistically I think three or four would be more than enough to cover an 8 foot area
@@the_gardenerben Thanks for the advice and speedy reply! Appreciated.
More than happy to help, good luck
I actually love the smell 😂
Definitely more potent at some points more than others but when it does it is wonderful. Do you know of any stranger smelling roses of that sent?
I don’t know if I like the guy or the rose more
Lol 💚
Can it be trained as a climber?
@@kalganmukesh yes this one can be used as a short climber and when grown as such can reach around 6 to 8 feet
