An outstanding rose. I cannot believe how floriferous this rose is. I now always check Ben's reviews before I buy a rose. My last 5 were solely based on Ben's recommendations. Spot on - every time.
Ben, I am a fan of your rose reviews. A suggestion: can you show how the entire rose plants look like in your garden? I am trying to decide how to best lay out the AD roses in the garden based on how their matured bushes look like. Thanks!
Much as a suggestion has been made countless times it is not always possible and afraid even myself with a 2200 m² gallon simply don’t have the angles or the ability to bring you each and every rose with me in front of it which is why rose not only has its own individual review lasting between five and 10 minutes but then also a series of stills and pictures and a real or short
谢谢你Ben，我是在美国的中国人，感谢你的付出，我跟你一样热爱月季，已经有60棵Rose，今年在DA买了40棵2023年我的玫瑰园就超过100棵Rose！Thank u so much Ben, I am Chinese live in LA, follow u bought some drought tolerance Rose, I already have 60 roses,another 40 bought in DA coming 2023,so my rose garden more than 100 rose in 2023! Love rose is a so happy things in the world, watching ur video so happy too!
I’m so happy to have found a place to go where I’ll find entertaining and honest reviews I have on my wishlist. Scepter d’Isle is way at the top but am trying to find potted (and not bare root). Easier said than done. Thanks again! And PS: your house is truly unbelievable. That roof! Your place is a fantasy land. 🥰🥰🥰
Love this. Just planted 7 in my garden bed. This was before I learned about petals. Can you please do a video explain the significance of petal counts in DA roses? Thank you.
I’m so excited to receive this rose which is being shipped to me today‼️It’s such a beautiful pale pink color with such a gorgeous shape flower with its yellow centered stamens & I’m so happy it has such a lovely strong fragrance rating‼️I will be planting it in a very large pot for our patio & can’t wait for it to arrive‼️🥰❤️Thank you Ben❣️Debbie ~ Texas 🇺🇸
This was the most outstanding rose and most outstanding plant in our garden last year, despite being new from bare root. It coped with the drought beautifully and the scent is amazing!
I hope you made the most of my affiliate links taking you directly to the website and my discount codes You’ll find several garden tours here on my channel which this rose will no doubt appear in several times as I have two of them in the garden
Hi Ben, this is one of four roses I planted in my new rose bed (zone 6b) last summer all thanks to your review. It put out two small blooms but the scent was amazing ! It currently has 6 buds and I can’t wait to see what this years blooms look like! Yours are perfection! Love watching your reviews
Thank you I’m glad that you like it. Please give it a little time to establish roses are long-term investments and will never reach their full potential until they’ve been in the ground for at least 18 to 24 months. It will get much better with time.
It’s not always possible, I have 30 days to film 30 reviews each year, weather light noise and location in the garden all make it hard each rose gets its review dozens of still photos Ava a reel/short my media is not filmed for RUclips im an Instagramer should you want to see more media please check it out there instagram.com/the_gardenerben?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
An absolute favourite in my garden too! She's been in the ground for two years, and even though she's a healthy rose, I find her to be less vigorous than most other roses in the garden. Hope that this will change once she's established. Definitely can't be without her in the garden. Very unique fragrance! The fragrance is truly out of this world, as you've mentioned. ❤️👃🌹 The DA 'The Reeve' rose has a comparable strong myrrh scent, but is much more productive and her pure medium dark pink flowers are unfading in our South African sun. Thanks for your reviews. Thoroughly enjoy them!
New sub here Ben, from Philadelphia. Many years ago, at the house, I started with Abraham Darby...which has remained my favorite. This was in 1985 or therabouts...sold the house in 1993...have not been able to have roses since about 2005....I really miss them. So glad to have found your channel so I can enjoy roses once again!! Best, Lawrie
H!Ben...rhanks for your review...i actually git scepter'd isle and lark ascending today...i cant wait to see its blooms.The scepter'd isle has a lot of blooms and buds and i got the chqnce to smell iy...Boy i tell you im knock off my feet with the very strong scent...no second thoughts on this.Lark ascemding is only budding so i have to wait...Im so thankful for your rose review.😘🤗😇🙏
Hello Ben! You're advice is ACE! You've sold me on the Sceptre D' Isle. One Question - Which would you pair along side it best for fragrance and in a Tub next to her, the Jubilee Celebration or the Eustacia Vye. Shady area. Or - if solely for fragrance would you get One Eustacia Vye and one Jubilee Celebration for Double the Fruitiness. Thanks Ben 🎉
For me, it would have to be Eustacia vye I’m afraid that Jubilee celebration, although incredibly fragrant doesn’t work hard enough, especially if you’re planting it in a container. Have you consider taking a look at Gabriel Oak if it’s available where you are very unusual colour for the fragrance is stunning
No problem at all it is my absolute pleasure this particular Rose is stunningly beautiful but doesn’t last well as a cut flower it shatters quite easily after cutting you may be lucky to get 1 1/2 to 2 days out of it in the house are you aware that I have filmed a Best for cutting collection it’s available to watch here on RUclips whenever you feel
@@lloydbovensiepen5773 you can use it instantly at the recommended dose rate, however it’s not really necessary until the plant has been in the ground or pot for around 6 to 8 weeks
Thank you so much for your review! Would you recommend this rose for an arch? I'm looking for something to grow with constance spry that will be a good repeat flowerer for an area that has sun for only part of the day 🤔
Hi Ben, I've been watching your reviews as part of my research into planting a rose garden. You mention the height is over 5ft, is the width about the same? Thanks!
Hi Ben, thanks for all the amazing videos! I really enjoyed watching all of your videos. May i know how would you compare or rate Scepter'd Isle to Wisley 2008? As well as Lichfield Angel to Tranquility? Thank you so much!
@@the_gardenerben Thank you so much! And do you have any recommendations for yellow/orangey shrub rose? Ive gotten Roald Dahl and lady of Shalott. I'm growing all of my roses in pots as im growing them on my balcony. Thank you x
@@the_gardenerben Yes, ive watched your top 10 must have and lady emma hamiliton is your top fave. However, it's out of stock at the moment. I guess i will just wait till the next bareroot season of restock to get it again. Thank you so much for replying and i look forward to more of your videos :)
Hi!Ben ,with regards to the color of sceptre'd isle bloom is it more darker than Gentle Hermione?Im looking for a light pink but not pinkish-white like GH.Im considering between wisley and Scepter'd isle....i would be grateful to here your views.
It’s incredibly difficult to describe colour here on RUclips please do go across to my Instagram channel NorthLodge cottageGarden There you will find thousands of pictures of roses sceptred Isle was one I have uploaded only a few days ago and is currently being used on the David Austin website
Thanks for your response Ben...I will check Instagram...Your thatch roof is amazing. Lots here in Ireland in the past couple of years but it seems not much people are opting for it now.But is it so beautiful...such a dreqm place.🙂
Thank you that’s very kind this house has been a massive labour of love over the last four years pulling it back from the brink of collapse or journey has been a long and fraught at the house is now Very nearly there

Hello. It’s been more than a year now. Just curious how did your sceptre’d isle do? Was the fragrance and reblooming good for you?
I have ordered one but now I am going to go back to David Austin and order another. This rose is sublime! Thank you for this wonderful review!
I had to have another one to one of this is simply not enough. Enjoy
Another to add to my list 📝

I just ordered this rose today! Thank you for your reviews, very helpful 💗
I’m glad you found it useful. Look out for another 40 reviews coming next month.
Just bought one of these today 👏👏
on the david austin page it looks very different: it doesnt seem to have the rosette and you can see the yellow stamens instead
They are only really shown in the last stage of the flower when it’s fully blown
So lovely. Thank you for the review.
My pleasure plenty more to come
Thank you for your very informative reviews! Can you tell me how long does Scepter'd Isle last as a cut rose?
No problem at all it is my absolute pleasure this particular Rose is stunningly beautiful but doesn’t last well as a cut flower it shatters quite easily after cutting you may be lucky to get 1 1/2 to 2 days out of it in the house are you aware that I have filmed a Best for cutting collection it’s available to watch here on RUclips whenever you feel
As far as myrrh type fragrance, how similar is it to something like Bolero?
Hi Ben - Is Scepter D' Isles scent stronger than Ancient Mariner? Need to know. Many Thanks Ben.
In my opinion, yes AM I’ve graded at a 5 ⭐️ and SI graded as a 7⭐️
How soon can you apply Envii seaweed to a newly potted rose Ben? Thank you

This one might smell too strong for me. It smells like some old guy wearing too much cologne is hiding in my rose garden.
Oh well that’s the first time I’ve heard it described in that way, but yes, we all perceive fragrance differently

This made me laugh, thank you 😂
