Hi Craig, What a lovely sincere comment, I’m overwhelmed by your compliment. Growing roses is such a joy and being able to share this joy amongst others have made this passion so much more fun and interesting. I wish I could use better rose terminology and make improvement on my videos in the near future . Thank you for watching.
Wow wow wow love this. Great commentary, fantastic garden and of course great roses. Really well done and I wish you the very best of luck with your channel.
Many thanks Jay Jay. Watching you and Darren harwood has really given me so much inspiration and have gotten me hooked in to rose growing. Both of my sisters are your biggest fans. They both have follow in your foot steps by adding the parfuma to their collection , unfortunately i have no longer the space. We are all great-full for all the effort and time you have sacrificed in making all this inspirational videos. Thank you 🙏
Dear Ken, I watch it again and again! A great video! You are an artist as you could create such an amazing garden. The combination of colours and shapes (it is seen in the intro of the video) is just wonderful!!! I love it. I watch you from Moscow, Russia. Take care, lots of love.
To begin with l honestly thought this was filmed at DA rose gardens, your garden is absolutely magnificent. I am addicted to all these rose reviews, it's so inspiring to see how people use these roses in their own gardens. Please keep sharing.
Wow, thank you Caroline, i may have taken on more than I can handle, balancing full time work and maintaining so many roses are continuous job but all worth it. 😊
Thank you 😊 some of the arrangements was planned but most of them was just random. If it did look good in anyway, I can assure you it’s pure luck and the roses should take credit.
Thank you for sharing your beauties. This is my first season with DA roses. I am thrilled to see Strawberry Hill as a top fragrant. Poets wife, Golden celebration, also. Now I also want Estacia vie 😊
@@kenvoong5977 hya, no I haven’t as I am in Spain , there are no stockists of DA roses here so I had to check many reviews . Then I came across your collection and was so happy that I chose strawberry hill.x
Gertrude jykell and pilgrim both have a beautiful fragrance too especially Gertrude, although I prefer the scent In strawberry hill but I would recommend Gertrude as she is a Better for flowering and repeat flowering rose. I would have gone with 5 of Gertrude and 5 of strawberry hill. But do update me on how things turn out.
How have I never found you before? What a stunning collection! I am slowly building mine too and I visited david Austin Gardens for the second time at the weekend. I don't know why I didn't come back with strawberry Hill as it was in my list. I got excited about other roses and forgot her so ill have to go back again haha . Thanks for sharing your beautiful garden..where In the uk are u? I'm in Leicestershire
lol 😂 thanks for watching, I’ve only been growing roses for 4 years. I never had the nerve to put anything on RUclips until my sister ( Lin greenfinger) persuaded me to. I live in southern England ( Bristol) and between my sister and myself we have a massive collection of Da roses between us. I hope by watching videos like these, it will give you an idea of what varieties you wish to purchase. Best of luck and keep up the passion.
@@kenvoong5977 4 years? You put me to shame! I am not too far from you, near Hereford, so I haven't even got the excuse of climate difference. I found your sister first, so I suppose your channel came up through that.
Beautiful Ken ! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful roses with us. All stunning you obviously love your roses. I agree re. 'The Mill On The Floss' her perfume it is so different from all the other roses, it's utterly gorgeous and unique. 'Strawberry Hill' is outstanding for perfume in my garden, I can smell her long before I reach her. This is my 2nd year here and I brought her with me thankfully she has settled in beautifully now this year - I am very happy! Thanks again for sharing your roses they are all beautiful I can only imagine the scent in your garden right now :)
Lady Emma H, Jude, Gertrude, Bishop Castle, Evelyn, Strawberry Hills, Gabriel have good fragrances for me. US zone 9. My #1 would be Lady Emma H. Love her divine scent. Eustacia V, Silas Marner, Emily, Boscobel are great roses and also have nice fragrance though not as strong. My Princess Alexandra has mild scent in her 3rd season. The first 2 years, there was none! It must be the zone difference. Love your video and DA roses. Just subscribed. Happy planting and many beautiful roses to come...!
Thank you Melissa Could be the climate difference to why you poak isn’t that scented but i also agree Gabriel is a fantastic and scented rose in uk too
Sorry I messed up because I had to delete some copy right material and I accidentally deleted the commentary. I’m going to make another next week with more newer varieties. So sorry
Hi sue, my apologies with the missing commentary. I was playing around with the copyright music and accidentally deleted the commentary. I’m in a process of compiling another 15 of most fragrant rose for 2024. See you soon
You have a great collection of DA roses.❤❤ ranking fragrances is so hard, changes every year, withevery location and with every climate. I agree that Strawberry hill always smells the same
Wooow, I loved to see your garden and I am very impressed with the size of the blooms. Is it the weather in the UK or do you have something special for the soil ?
Thanks Alex, probably balance of everything, most roses prefer cooler uk climate ( less of the rain would be best) . My soil is mixture of compost and manure if could get hold of any, but fertilising is crucial to maintaining a healthy and vigorous rose.
@@kenvoong5977Thank you for your answer! Great to know that I am on the right track with fertilizing and compost. It is wonderful to watch your videos.
Coming here from your sister’s show. Love your garden. What do you feed them. Is it normal for new 1 quartz or bareroot rose to bloom small or I need to feed them more? What do you feed your roses.
Hi thank you. Yes newly rose will need time to mature and often their flowers are small. Feeding young bush will not speed up its development. All my roses are fed twice a year as advise but to increase its flowering potential, I feed my roses with liquid fertiliser on a regular basis .
thanks again for posting this, re. strawberry hill, I was interested in getting this but other growers report that her blooms shatter very quickly, do you find that ?
Thank you so much 🌷 - fragrance is SO interesting and it seems to be different for every nose. I just did a list of my own and my number 1 is Emily (It could have been Alexandra, the odd occasions she does smell she´s wonderful, but most day I hardly smell anything). Boscobel is very close second and I also really like Silas Marner, Eusticia Vye, Gabriel Oak and Desdemona. And Emma, of course :) Oh and Generous Gardener!! Ha, ha I love them all :) Please - can you do individual reviews of your lovely roses🌹? Would love to hear your thoughts
Hi shiva, I’m intrigued to know your list, what’s your channel please . Fragrance on each nose are different and weather can play a major role how they all smell. This compile list is only in my opinion. I have been ask to do my individual reviews on a few roses, unfortunately with over 50 Da varieties, it’s literally impossible to do them individually, plus I’m far from having the right knowledge and good vocabulary for decent entertainment.
@@kenvoong5977 Oh, it was just a list for myself :) Yes, I know there are many things that affect the fragrance, but that's what makes it so special, isn't it? I love that so many of us perceive different scents, even from the same rose! I understand 50 roses are many (I only have 20), but I would have found it interesting to hear your opinion on a rose without you being an expert, just to know how that rose is for you in your garden. Based on your video, I think you express yourself very well, so don't hesitate to do a review if you feel like it in the future:) Thanks once again for sharing your beautiful roses with us 🌹
@shivalilla2469 As this is only a interest my , finding time in between isn’t always easy when working a full time job. My next couple of videos should interest you very much as would many rose addict. You would be intrigued to know the outcome. I may do some reviews on certain roses at some point. Thanks for watching
Your garden looks amazing ! Very beautiful rose collection. Thank you so much for sharing. Your tall grey pots looks excellent. I also live in UK. May I ask where I can get these pots please?
Hi Kate, since I got rid of majority of my grass and soil, alot of my roses are now in pots .Finding a cheap and contemporary pot isn’t easy and I was lucky enough to find the perfect pot in “home bargains.” These were £7.99 55cm by 100cm I think. Make sure you don’t buy the smaller size and buy as many as you need because these sells fast. Good luck!
I can’t really see it in the video but are your plants in ground or pots? I am amazed at how close your plants are to each other and flourishing. I see a few non roses amongst your bushes, can you name them? Thank you. Melbourne
Central border consists of 14 roses in the outer ring of the circle, 6 roses inner circle and one Bathsheba centre. Amongst them I have alliums, cornflower, nepeta, Russian sage and verbena ( tall) . I also have roses all along the side with day lilies peonies, poppies And many others .I also have 20 roses in pots. I had lots of salvias planted along with roses in the middle of border but non have come back. Totalling of 50 plus Da not including other breeders( I’ve lost count) I’m just crazy !!😅
@@kenvoong5977 thank you. Noted that your salvia didn’t come back. Probably too congested amongst the beautiful roses. Nepeta doesn’t grow too well for me here as my garden is semi shaded depending on time of day as sun shifts. Will take note of your other perennials for experimenting. Salvias are the ones that grow best for me here.
@darleneswetz8325 yes what a coincidence, all top 3 most fragrant are in pots, of course being in a pot I doubt would make any difference in scent but I do find some potted rose do better in pots as they have all the goodness to themselves and not having to share with other plants. Like being the only son inheriting his father’s fortune ( odd example) but you know what I mean
Thank you sooo much for this video. It helped me so much. I loved every min n was on the edge. Like omg. What’s his # 1. Lol Thank u again. Cheers to your 2024 picks
Thank you Donna, I’m glad it helped. Fragrant can vary a lot from person to person as we all have different sense of smell. With another 16 roses added this year, I’m so looking forward to doing another for 2024
Great video. How do you like Silas Marner? I checked it in DA gardens and they were small and non-fragrant. Is it not always fragrant, is it improving with age or anything else you could say about that one? Just really can't decide if i'm ready to sacrifice the space in my garden for this rose. Gardener Ben really praised the Dannahue scent which in my opinion is very mild. But I do agree on Emma and Eustacia - both amazingly fragrant. I really liked Elizabeth in real life but again little scent so far...
@@kenvoong5977 I don't think Ben is paid by DA directly but yeah they've got the relationships that wont allow him to be honest about the new launches. He gives 9 stars for fragrance to Country Parson while it has the mildest scent ever. I still like the shape of the follower on Dannahue and surprisingly my Elizabeth is very healthy so far but not always fragrant. I think Eustacia is probably the best rose of a few recent years with good health, fragrance and flower shape...
@@vorong2ru I must admit general newer varieties have better disease resistant than older varieties , but still care and attention is equally important to maintaining a healthy plant.
I like Silas very much. Good scent, strong canes w/ clusters of flowers for its first year. DA site didn't mention fragrance but it has a nice fragrance. Smaller than Eustacia but more cupped/less flat. Good re-boom and healthy. Overall a great rose. I bought 2 more from a local nursery for cutting as I couldn't wait for the next DA ordering season. Now I have 3. Will get Emily, Scepter, and more Boscobel next year. Can't wait to see if Dannahue lives up to Ben's praises when it's available in the US :)
love your garden and looking forward to seeing more of it. Ive had two Boscobels now for three years and have still had zero fragrance from them ? Have to say the most fragrant roses inmy garden are Isaac Perriere and chandos beauty and Floriana
looks like some people don't smell boscobel notes, it's quite an unusual scent. Try sniffing it on a sunny day around 10am-11am when the sun has heated the flower up a bit. You should definitely detect some fragrance at that point.
Boscabel is well know to have a strong fruity fragrance oddly that yours don’t smell as good. Maybe it’s the climate as I have heard people say ( not many)princess Alexandra only has light fragrance. Mines is completely opposite
My Favorites are Gertrude Jeckyll & Lady Emma Hamilton. I have never seen Princess Alexandra of Kent. Such a gorgeous rose,,, I will have to do some investigating on that one! Thank you for sharing your garden! 🧜♂
Thanks you chuck, both are very fragrant no doubt. It’s u h a difficult choice to pick which ones are the most fragrant as we all have different sense of smell and different climates can vary. Princess Alexandra for me my favourite ❤️
Beautiful Garden! Can you please tell me what the low, little spikes of lavender flowers are at the front of the garden in the beginning of your video? Thank you.
Hello thanks for watching, the blue plant below the roses are napeta also known as cat mint. These are great companion plants with roses. Another companion plant I would suggest are salvias.
I bought the Alexandra Kent rose just a week ago! I notice that David Austin’s roses here across the pond arrive on the rather small size. Perhaps where you are they arrive more developed? What may i use to fertilize my lovely ladies? Please do advise. 🙏🏻
Brilliant choice!! This is no doubt one of my favourite rose of all time, beautiful high petal count blooms with an amazing scent. Yes I have seen alot of da roses you guys receive from DA in the states and are absolutely miniature babies compare to what we have in uk. I generally use rose food fertiliser such as top rose which comes in pellets form and another liquid fertiliser rose toner which I spray on the leaves itself, and the leaves obsorbes the liquid through the leaves. Good luck 😉
Your chapter headings have some funny misspellings. 10 should be Silas Marner (not Mana), 8 should be Munstead (not Monster) Wood, 6 should be Gertrude Jekyll (not Jackal). 4 should be Eustacia Vye (not Vai) but from he way you pronounce the names I know you know the correct ones.
😂 Helen Trope , you had me worried, I had to check my video again to make sure. The subtitles was provided by RUclips and it automatically spells how it sounds through pronunciation using the very clever computer system. How they do it is beyond me?
Scent can vary depending on where we live, climate is equally important to determine how fragrant a rose can be. But the compile is of 12 is personal opinion
My sense of smell has been severly impacted by Covid, but for me the scent of Desdemona is one I can easily detect, so personally speaking I would say it is at the very fragrant end of the spectrum. I know smell is in the nose of the beholder - my wife thinks Eustacia Vye has a disgusting smell. And of course scent depends on moisture content in the air, sun and shade, time of day and temperature, etc. ... It is a complex issue. All we can do is say "For me the smell of this rose here and now is ...."
Totally agree, each have different opinions and scent of smell. Unlike your wife , I really like the fragrance on eustacia vye. Make sure your wife don’t see this message or she’d be screaming at me.
Sorry I have been playing around with the copyright issues with the background music. I tried deleting the music but all my commentary was lost. It’s ruined my video and I regret having done it. Looks like I’ll have to make another soon. So sorry
I have had an Abraham Darby in my current garden (in the UK) for about 6 years. At its best it is in my opinion the most beautiful and most fragrant DA rose I have. Unfortunately, DA withdrew it from the market here, because in the UK climate it struggles to stay healthy, and after the first flush In June it invariably succumbs to disease. Mine was brilliant in the hot sunny weather we had this June and I think that if the UK had hotter, sunnier summers it would be many people's favourite.
I would have bought it if this was still available. Understandable for Da to have withdrawn this rose. if this wasn’t its preferred climate, saying that why was lady Emma redrawn since she has been so popular?
@@kenvoong5977 I remembered this comment of yours when I spotted that Trevor White Roses claim to be the only UK supplier of Abraham Darby now, although you'll have to wait for a bare root in the autumn. I hesitate to recommend it because it needs a lot of care, attention and good weather to flower successfully, but when it does it is heavenly! I did post a video of AD a year ago if you search Abraham Darby rose. Though I don't think this is the best it can be.

Thank u again.
Cheers to your 2024 picks
Thank you Donna, I’m glad it helped. Fragrant can vary a lot from person to person as we all have different sense of smell. With another 16 roses added this year, I’m so looking forward to doing another for 2024
Great video. How do you like Silas Marner? I checked it in DA gardens and they were small and non-fragrant. Is it not always fragrant, is it improving with age or anything else you could say about that one? Just really can't decide if i'm ready to sacrifice the space in my garden for this rose. Gardener Ben really praised the Dannahue scent which in my opinion is very mild. But I do agree on Emma and Eustacia - both amazingly fragrant. I really liked Elizabeth in real life but again little scent so far...
@@kenvoong5977 I don't think Ben is paid by DA directly but yeah they've got the relationships that wont allow him to be honest about the new launches. He gives 9 stars for fragrance to Country Parson while it has the mildest scent ever. I still like the shape of the follower on Dannahue and surprisingly my Elizabeth is very healthy so far but not always fragrant. I think Eustacia is probably the best rose of a few recent years with good health, fragrance and flower shape...
@@vorong2ru I must admit general newer varieties have better disease resistant than older varieties , but still care and attention is equally important to maintaining a healthy plant.
I like Silas very much. Good scent, strong canes w/ clusters of flowers for its first year. DA site didn't mention fragrance but it has a nice fragrance. Smaller than Eustacia but more cupped/less flat. Good re-boom and healthy. Overall a great rose. I bought 2 more from a local nursery for cutting as I couldn't wait for the next DA ordering season. Now I have 3. Will get Emily, Scepter, and more Boscobel next year. Can't wait to see if Dannahue lives up to Ben's praises when it's available in the US :)
I’m glad it’s not just me who think highly of this rose, thank you for supporting me on this, Silas really has good potential to be a unique specimen.
love your garden and looking forward to seeing more of it. Ive had two Boscobels now for three years and have still had zero fragrance from them ? Have to say the most fragrant roses inmy garden are Isaac Perriere and chandos beauty and Floriana
Madame Isaac sure smells nice as is chandos beauty, shame chandos fragrance and flowers does not last
looks like some people don't smell boscobel notes, it's quite an unusual scent. Try sniffing it on a sunny day around 10am-11am when the sun has heated the flower up a bit. You should definitely detect some fragrance at that point.
Boscabel is well know to have a strong fruity fragrance oddly that yours don’t smell as good. Maybe it’s the climate as I have heard people say ( not many)princess Alexandra only has light fragrance. Mines is completely opposite
@@kenvoong5977 Yes, I have little fragrance from Princess Alexandra too
Wow❤❤
My Favorites are Gertrude Jeckyll & Lady Emma Hamilton. I have never seen Princess Alexandra of Kent. Such a gorgeous rose,,, I will have to do some investigating on that one! Thank you for sharing your garden!
🧜♂
Thanks you chuck, both are very fragrant no doubt. It’s u h a difficult choice to pick which ones are the most fragrant as we all have different sense of smell and different climates can vary. Princess Alexandra for me my favourite ❤️
Beautiful Garden! Can you please tell me what the low, little spikes of lavender flowers are at the front of the garden in the beginning of your video? Thank you.
Hello thanks for watching, the blue plant below the roses are napeta also known as cat mint. These are great companion plants with roses. Another companion plant I would suggest are salvias.
Thank you so much!
@@kenvoong5977
Very nice!
Thank you so much
Beautiful 0:23
This year in my garden, Emily Bronte is the most fragrant beauty.
Yes I agree she is a beautiful rose and a must have in any garden
visual candy
👍😍
How old are these beauties?
Hi Faye most of these roses are about 3 years old, the potted ones are more recent.
I bought the Alexandra Kent rose just a week ago! I notice that David Austin’s roses here across the pond arrive on the rather small size. Perhaps where you are they arrive more developed? What may i use to fertilize my lovely ladies? Please do advise. 🙏🏻
Brilliant choice!! This is no doubt one of my favourite rose of all time, beautiful high petal count blooms with an amazing scent. Yes I have seen alot of da roses you guys receive from DA in the states and are absolutely miniature babies compare to what we have in uk. I generally use rose food fertiliser such as top rose which comes in pellets form and another liquid fertiliser rose toner which I spray on the leaves itself, and the leaves obsorbes the liquid through the leaves. Good luck 😉
Спасибо. Очень красиво.
Thank you 🙏
Your chapter headings have some funny misspellings. 10 should be Silas Marner (not Mana), 8 should be Munstead (not Monster) Wood, 6 should be Gertrude Jekyll (not Jackal). 4 should be Eustacia Vye (not Vai) but from he way you pronounce the names I know you know the correct ones.
😂 Helen Trope , you had me worried, I had to check my video again to make sure. The subtitles was provided by RUclips and it automatically spells how it sounds through pronunciation using the very clever computer system. How they do it is beyond me?
@@kenvoong5977 Yes the RUclips automatic spelling is awful. It often seems to affect people's thumbnail images too.
Does anyone know where I can find St. Cecelia David Austin rose plant?
It’s an old variety of DA and haven’t known to be available in uk. A company called “en.rose.it” in Europe sells them
Wow☆☆☆
Thank you
Винегрет даже для меня
Thank you 🙏
Очень пестро
Desdemona at #12 is very odd. That rose is only moderately fragrant on a good day.
Scent can vary depending on where we live, climate is equally important to determine how fragrant a rose can be. But the compile is of 12 is personal opinion
My sense of smell has been severly impacted by Covid, but for me the scent of Desdemona is one I can easily detect, so personally speaking I would say it is at the very fragrant end of the spectrum. I know smell is in the nose of the beholder - my wife thinks Eustacia Vye has a disgusting smell. And of course scent depends on moisture content in the air, sun and shade, time of day and temperature, etc. ... It is a complex issue. All we can do is say "For me the smell of this rose here and now is ...."
Totally agree, each have different opinions and scent of smell. Unlike your wife , I really like the fragrance on eustacia vye. Make sure your wife don’t see this message or she’d be screaming at me.
There is a problem with the voice
Sorry I have been playing around with the copyright issues with the background music. I tried deleting the music but all my commentary was lost. It’s ruined my video and I regret having done it. Looks like I’ll have to make another soon. So sorry
@@kenvoong5977
I hope you will have another one soon because nice video
@@firash1588 Most definitely 👍🏻
It’s because your camera’s on blur
Leaving out Evelyn and Abraham Darby is preposterous and having Desdemona ahead of them makes no sense at all. You must be limited in your collection.
Evelyn and Abraham Darby are not available to purchase in uk unfortunately, I wouldn’t know how they perform or smell.
Perhaps you are right my 50 plus Da rose in the garden is limited compare to your hundreds you have in your collection.
I have had an Abraham Darby in my current garden (in the UK) for about 6 years. At its best it is in my opinion the most beautiful and most fragrant DA rose I have. Unfortunately, DA withdrew it from the market here, because in the UK climate it struggles to stay healthy, and after the first flush In June it invariably succumbs to disease. Mine was brilliant in the hot sunny weather we had this June and I think that if the UK had hotter, sunnier summers it would be many people's favourite.
I would have bought it if this was still available. Understandable for Da to have withdrawn this rose. if this wasn’t its preferred climate, saying that why was lady Emma redrawn since she has been so popular?
@@kenvoong5977 I remembered this comment of yours when I spotted that Trevor White Roses claim to be the only UK supplier of Abraham Darby now, although you'll have to wait for a bare root in the autumn. I hesitate to recommend it because it needs a lot of care, attention and good weather to flower successfully, but when it does it is heavenly! I did post a video of AD a year ago if you search Abraham Darby rose. Though I don't think this is the best it can be.
Strawberry Hill, my favourite as well
Yes I agree and nothing else smells like it.
