Hello Ken, this video was recommended today, I am collecting opinions about Princess Alexandra of Kent and I think your right, she should not be missed in anyone’s garden. Thanks for your honest opinion about roses!🌹
Hi Rose garden’s Gem, yes POAK is definitely my favourite of all my roses, everything about this rose stands out for me. I really do hope you will add her to your collection.
Just planted one PAKent bare roots 3 weeks ago and it’s the most robust of all my 18 newly planted DA roses this Spring 👍Thanks sharing ur beautiful garden🙏
Thanks showing ur rose cutting doing so well🌹I just did one from Darcey Bussell 3 weeks ago already has new leaf out maybe 4 yrs later it’ll grow into a beautiful rose bush like yours👍🙏
Hi Peggy, best of luck as Darcy is no longer available. I have her in the ground ( sunny location) yet to have impress me. I what I did noticed last summer her blooms lasted a long time. Poak is a fantastic choice, hope yours is as fragrant as mine.
New subscriber and garden friend. You have a beautiful garden! I enjoyed all of your videos and rewatched them just for enjoyment. Your commentary is entertaining and also very helpful. I can watch you talk about your roses all day long. Keep up the great work! I can’t wait to see your garden this season. Thanks so much for sharing! ❤👏🙏
Thank you for your kind comments. Reading comments like yours really gives us inspiration but Often I find it difficult find the right terminology or words to describe. Having background music at least gives me a little confidence. With our weather starting to warming up, I’m raring to start enjoying all the hard work once again..
@@kenvoong5977 No worries, just continue to share with us your love for gardening and we will be here to support! You are a natural on camera already, but some music does fit the mood. 😀 I forgot to mention that your videography is also superb. You do a great job at capturing all the different angles and natural beauty of the roses in your garden. Thank you for sharing your garden with us. 🙏
I could watch this video over and over! The roses are glorious as is your whole garden! I love the peaceful piano music and all of your information. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you Faye, I’m so looking forward to another blooming video, unfortunately we’ve had so much rain ☔️. There’s so many new varieties that I want to share with a very special few. Thank your kind comment love.
Right, I’m coming over to your house and pinching whatever you are feeding your roses !!! It’s ok viewers , I’m his sister and I’m allowed to do that 😁
I love that you so deeply love and adore your Ladies! I too, speak to my roses, and tell how much i love snd appreciate them. When i prune them, or pick off leaves with black spot, I apologize and explain to them that i mean to help. I love your garden’s palette! The pinks snd oranges… with blue companion flowers. How splendid! How beautiful! You are a very special Soul.
Lol 😂 I’m glad we’re the same small minority of humans. I believe with everything in life , if you treat them with love and respect, they will reward you.
Love your commentary, Ken, your garden is amazing! Thank you for your advice about repeat flowering, and your full descriptions of each rose, very helpful which I have noted for my future additions to my so far, small but growing collection. Loved the music too.
Thank you Lily, growing roses is what I love and to be able to share this passion with other people makes me feel just as good and makes the whole process worth while. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for a very restful and beautiful video. It's good to see roses that I haven't got (yet), to see how they look and perform in real life. I think I agree that Lady of Shalott, despite her numerous colourful flowers lacks charisma, but she still looks good. My Princess Alexandra is in her first summer and as yet seems far from being a good repeater, I have been waiting weeks for a single new bloom, but time will tell, and she is getting lots of buds at present. Yes, Eustacia Vye does suffer in the rain, but for me she is, along with Gabriel Oak, the most reliable and almost continuous flowering rose in my garden. Any yes, Desdemona is a beautiful, fragrant rose, and probably the best white rose.
Hello Ken, it was lovely to watch this video! I can see how passionate you are as a rose lover and for sure your roses are enjoying the TLC you’ve given them. It’s funny when you talked about the Verbena, we call it Eisenkraut here in Germany, I have the same experience, it scattered itself in different pots. I definitely will get Desdomona and Princess Alexandra of Kent. Have you tried any German roses from Kordes or French roses like Meilland, they are equally beautiful and have incredible scent too. Thanks for sharing your garden!🌹
Thank you for your lovely comment, yes I’m very passionate about my roses, shame as work a full time job and often enough don’t have to to enjoy it’s blooms. I really wish I got more kordes roses ( I have summer romance and leonardo Da Vinci by Meiland. German breeder kordes are equally as good as David Austin . The blooms last a longer time, longer thank any of my Da roses. I use to have lots of companion plants but verbenas are the hardest for our British weather, they self seed all over the garden.
Another enjoyable & informative video Ken, thank you. I planted salvia hot lips this year, last chance saloon, as all the other varieties don't survive in my garden despite our mainly mild winters. 🍻
Thank you Kevin, I did have over 10 salvias planted amongst all my roses but none ever came back. Now I don’t bother with them, I’m more than happy with self seeding verbenas as they come back every year.
Lady shallot is one of the best performing rose in my garden, constantly producing flowers from the start even in November when all others are starting to settle down for winter. Only downside is she lacks fragrance.
Beautiful video Ken, a feast for the eyes ! Your roses are looking wonderful and you're right we have had a dreadful year here in UK weather wise it's been challenging to say the least with all the rain and high winds :( Your Desdemona looks spectacular 🤩 Do I have room for her ???? haha I just might have to make room now 🤔
Thank you Linda, I think the worst is over and we can look forward to seeing all our roses flourish. Your garden is huge Linda, I’m sure you will have a spot for destemona in you garden. She’s been an absolute star as always.
Your roses are just amazing, i'm surprised how healthy they look considering our shitty summer this year! in my experience new Dannahue and Penelope are great repeaters. Golden celebration and Queen of Sweden repeat continuesly in my garden. Boscobel and Lady of Shalott are up there too.
Thank you vorong. My golden celebration is is good repeater, as it’s in quite a shady spot and never dose as good as ones in full sun. My queen of Sweden is in prime sunny location and very likely can compare to yours. Dannahue and Penelope could be amongst the list next year as these are far too young at their early stages of development.
My Boscobel and Queen of Sweden haven't borne a flower for weeks! I suppose it's different situations and local climates. Interesting to see other experiences.
Love seeing your beautiful roses Ken and you have a wonderful sense of humour. I think if I worked in a coffee shop I'd be pouring it over any rude customers and I also think my neighbours think I'm mad as I'm often out watering my pots when it's raining! My Olivia is in a pot and I've been so pleased with it as it's not stopped blooming and has no blackspot. Lady of Shalott has also done well for me too. Grace is a new rose this year so early days for it. Hope it'll look as good as yours. Did you go to Kew with your sister? The cakes looked amazing.
Thank you Wendy 😊 my sister and her other half went without me( darn). Just as well because she’d worried I might start digging up some of there roses in the garden 😢Unfortunately I had the displeasure sitting in the garden under the pergola watching all my rose get soaked. And we’re both on par, certainly both on borderline of madness but in a good way.
Beautiful garden. My Lady of Shalott seems to be a blackspot magnet but it is a beautiful color. I have over 60 roses and probably at least half are DAs. My garden is fairly young. I look forward to when my roses display like yours. Just curious, how do you feed them?
Thank you 🙏 no one rose is the same unfortunately, often it’s down to pruning, location and how we all feed our roses. Black spot are our most common and worst enemy, if left alone it certainly would stunt the growth and ability to bloom. As a rosé grower we all feed our roses twice a year with slow release. All my potted rose are fed with liquid fertiliser on a regular basis because potted roses needs more care and attention compared to roses that are in the ground.
Your Roses are wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing! Would you tell me what rose is next to Desdemona in the Video? The pink one on the right side? Thank you so much!!❤
Hello Ken! Im just now finding your channel but quickly became a subscriber. I absolutely adore your channel and catching up on some of your videos today. I wanted to ask a question? So I hope you see my comment....can you tell me what zone you're in and how much sunlight your David Austin roses get per day? I have ordered literally 13 roses this year from the David Austin website (I live in the USA zone 8a) and I have a lot of dappled shade areas that do get a good bit of morning sun on one side of my property and the other side gets about 6 hours of full sun with shady areas. Do you think David Austins would do good in the dappled shade areas? I noticed some of the species I ordered it says they will survive in part shade. Are any of yours in part shade? Thank you in advance for any information, I certainly appreciate it and will be visiting your channel very often now that I've found you! ❤
Yes I just saw your other comment regarding partial shaded area in your garden. I have added another few more da roses this year and they’re going to be grown in pots in an area that only get few hours morning sun. Let’s see how they perform later in the year. So far I have found few which can thrive in partial shade in one of my videos. Good luck 😉 Ps By the way, which ones have you ordered ?
I share your frustration with Eustacia Vye as I think her blooms should definitely be more hardy in rainy old England. She is otherwise beautiful with good repeat flowering and very healthy.
Awesome awesome video Ken and an awesome garden. I enjoyed that so many great touches in your video and your garden is doing fantastically well. Mine the past week is only now starting to wake up but yours is different league so really well done. And you have the exact same problems at home as me :) p.s is your sister married ?😂😂
Awesome awesome comment Jay! Your comments is always worth a few dollars more. Mine garden may well be in another league now but yours will soon to catch up for sure. I’m so glad to have finish the best repeat series as this has taken longer than I anticipated due to different roses flowering in different times and the weather has played a huge part. 😂 looks like we both more than just roses in common, at least Donna helps you with the watering, my wife never step in the garden.😢 I’m afraid we’ll just have to ride the storm for the sake of our roses . P.s my sister is still available only if you’ll accept being second best after her roses. I would describe her as a Da rose , gorgeous but difficult to maintain like majority of women. 😅
Hello, beautiful video, I love my DA but have only a few, I’d like to cover a small arch, gets 6 hrs sunshine and we do get frost here in Tasmania, can you suggest a small climber from the DA collection that would look and smell Devine?
I have wollerton old hall , spirit of freedom, James Galway new climber this year which I can’t wait to see them bloom this year. I would definitely recommend Gertrude Jekyll as a short climber in any garden, she has one of the most wonderful scent in the rose kingdom and any RUclipsrs would agree. We having freezing temperatures in uk so they would be fine in Tasmania.
Hi Marilyn, I had 1 in the ground another in the pot, the one in a pot never did as well . I have now transplanted the potted one in the ground. I’m sure she’d feel more at home now.
I really look forward to you videos. You show the entire plant in it's true form. Are some of your roses grown singularly or in pairs? I passed on buying that same verbena because I was told it is invasive, but it seems it is invasive in a good way. Do you recommend? I love gardening and all my roses, mostly DA and antiques, but I really don't personally know anyone who shares my love and excitement of roses. Thank you for letting me stroll through your garden with you. ❤
Thank you Mangotango, verbenas are great companions with roses, they’re not too evasive compared to Welsh poppies as they can easily pulled from the soil. Yes I would definitely recommend them planting along side your roses.
Thank you Gavin, there’s just 1 plant. I planted her 3 years ago from bare root. She’s been an absolute stunner in that part of border, overwhelming everything around her.
Hi thank you for the detailed video of your rose garden again. Sorry to bother you with a non rose related enquiry. What Eryngium is that in your garden? I am interested in companion plating for my roses and see that yours are quite good. I already have Japanese anemone and Eryngium has that similar wiry effect which I want in my mixed border. 🙏
Hi carmen,sorry remember which variety they are. They are good companion plant to go with roses but these are often very floppy and tend to fall over. Verbenas are you best option. This will almost have the same effect and more upright, plus they self seed easily.
Digitalis also know as fox glove are another to consider as these will tower above your rose border adding different structure amongst your roses, again these also will self seed giving free plants every year.
😂😂😂😂when i read your comment, soon i had the volume up. I'm a wife anyway. And it's so hillarious when Mr. Voong said it in such dramatic tone...😆😆😆have a good rosy day Sir😎👍
Certain varieties thrive depending on the climate, majority of Da roses prefer much cooler temperatures like we have in uk. Lady shallot is a fantastic rose that never disappoints.
LOS is a fantastic repeater , for me it’s just lacking a good fragrance, perhaps having good scent would make gives it more character. Can’t have it all I suppose

Thank you for sharing your beautiful roses, Ken. I have just planted the Roald Dahl bare root rose, I hope it looks as lovely as yours next year!
Really good choice Margaret, roald Dahl can adapt to partial shade, I have mine in a pot, I’m sure yours will do better than mine
Wind & rain is a nemesis to all gardeners, but a fantastic showing nonetheless!
Yes sadly something out of our control , all we can do is give them more tender loving care.

My desdemona buds are also in varying sizes and some even has small serated petals.very similar to what you have featured.

😂😂😂😂when i read your comment, soon i had the volume up. I'm a wife anyway. And it's so hillarious when Mr. Voong said it in such dramatic tone...😆😆😆have a good rosy day Sir😎👍
@@sabartrikimargono7619 Thank you, I try not to laugh 😆 otherwise I’ll get in more trouble myself
Olivia is a dreamy rose, 10/10 for health, vigour, flowering but sadly no fragrance in my garden
I agree If it had fragrance it would be the perfect rose, luckily mine does have a light scent
Здраствуйте.
Оливия красотка,Шалот заказала на весну.👍💮🌼🌸🌷🌹🥀🙋
🥰🥰🥰👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍🌷🌷🌷🌹🌹🌹
Thank you 🙏
I want Royal Jubilee, but they don’t sell her anymore 😥.
Perhaps it doesn’t do well in your climate. Uk weather is perfect for this rose to thrive.
I never had luck with my Lady of Shalott
Certain varieties thrive depending on the climate, majority of Da roses prefer much cooler temperatures like we have in uk. Lady shallot is a fantastic rose that never disappoints.
Can you tell me what kind of soil you rooted Olivia Rose Austin in. I had 9 coming along but they all died. I think it was the soil.
In uk John inns number 3 works pretty well. You can mix compost with half sand which will work.Normal compost has too much nutrients.
It's very hard to hear you whispering over the piano music, rather whispering to roses 😝
What zone you are in?
Hi thanks for tuning in. I live in uk and we are 6-9 zone. Can go as low as -10 minus
@@kenvoong5977I am NY. February and March, temperature averages negative 3 to negative 13 Celsius. I wondered they can survive.
@@annliang887 Hi Ann, yes they will survive without any problems, roses can withstand up to negative -30 degrees Celsius.
If you clip some of the growing buds off, that encourages the flowers you leave on to grow bigger. Try that with desdemona.
Sounds much like what we do to a fruit tree thinning away some fruit so others can grow bigger. Thanks for the tip

No charisma for LOS? 😢 Maybe she is compared to LEH?...
LOS is a fantastic repeater , for me it’s just lacking a good fragrance, perhaps having good scent would make gives it more character. Can’t have it all I suppose
Nice garden king of flowers roes hi lam new subscriber
Thanks for subscribing zarin, it’s winter 🥶 in uk and we’re all waiting patiently for spring to come back and we can start enjoying our flowers again.
