Thank you so very much Amrita, for telling us about your successes and the not-so-successful or thriving plants (I would never refer to them as failures) - makes me feel so much more optimistic about my garden now. Realising that each plant doesn’t shine every single year. Also, that sometimes one has to let go of a plant due to disease - praying for protection for the rest of your roses. 🌹 ❤
Awww that is so kind of you and I am happy that it was inspiring. I wanted to share the joys and also the sorrows so that you could feel more confident about your garden.
Amrita, beautiful garden! I don't deal with slugs/snails in the midwest, but I saw another gardener mention that they use black or brown roofing shingles around the base of their vulnerable plants and that it works really well. Don't know how you would feel about that (I'm not sure about the chemicals that might be in them, so I wouldn't put them on anything that we are going to be eating), but just thought I would mention it in case you were interested in trying it.
Thanks so much for your kind words and the tip! I know, the chemicals makes me hesitate. But you reminded me of something that I had read a while ago about using crushed sea shells around the plants. Might be worth trying that. I had completely forgotten about it until you mentioned the tiles. Lol 😂 So thank you so much!
Thanks again for the lovely garden tour. I absolutely love your roses. If your gardenia plants have done well in the past, they could have an iron deficiency and I suggest taking a sample leave to your local nursery to be sure. Good luck!
A lot of people have been buying the Distant Drums over here in England. I am supposed to be on a no buy this year but I keep seeing roses that I want! I have a Hydrangea in a pot that wasn't doing very well so I moved it to a different area and it's now doing really well. We have had the wettest Spring that I can ever remember Amrita and our plants are so confused. The Azaleas and Rhododendrons have loved the rain. Your garden always looks lovely.
Aww Wendy, that is so kind of you to say. Thank you! I absolutely feel you on the temptation. My biggest driver for no buy this year is that I have absolutely no space. Lol. I know, what's with the spring this year. It's been so wet and cold even here in California. I mean we are in May and still in the 60's. Weird weather.
Try very coarse dry eggshells around the base of your plants. Crush it several times in your hands after it dries and sprinkle around the base. Helps around my garden but will need to reapply as needed
Maybe you can use the root stock to propagate more rose bushes and try grafting some of your favorite roses onto it? Just a thought. You have a beautiful garden.
TY for another great video! The tips on the roses and citrus trees. I'll look for some dwarf ones to try. Love love orange and apple blossoms! This encourages me to go get them even if I may not have the chance to enjoy the fruits bcz of squirrels. Looking forward to your next video of beautiful roses! TY
Thanks so much, Melissa for your kind words. I would definitely look into Oranges. Try the Satsuma orange but if you want the blossoms, try the Calamondin orange. It is on my list of fruit trees to buy. The part I love about it is that you can have it indoors or outdoors and it does really well in a pot. The biggest bonus is that I have read it flowers all.year.long!😱 Check them out.
Thanks so much for the kind words. Hahaha omg yes, that's an idea! At least that way they will be out of garden and be of some use rather than munching on my delicious vegetables and marigolds.
What are you growing this year in your garden? I am so excited about the roses and tomatoes.

Patricia, thanks so much for your kind words and that tip. I will definitely take it to the nursery to ask them.

Thanks so much for the tip! I had heard mixed reviews about it so haven't tried this yet. Will definitely test it out this month.

Thanks so much! Yes, that’s a great idea.
What a delightful garden tour. I am always inspired by your flowers...and love of roses. Can one ever have enough roses? Never! 😂
Hi Diana, thanks so much for your kind words. Hahaha, that’s so true. The answer will always be “never” 😂
Gosh I know your garden smells heavenly Amrita!
It absolutely does, AJ! I wish I could share that through the video with everyone. It's a magical space right now 😁
Thanks for a wonderful garden tour today and thanks for sharing your beautiful flowers with us
Thanks so much for your kind words. I am so happy that it brought some joy to your day.

How lovely! I do have a Mary Rose too, it has yet to bloom so will be looking forward to your blooms and your summer care routine ❤
That’s amazing! You will love it once it blooms (hopefully you don’t struggle with powdery mildew like I did)
@@AmritaBhortake never even seen it, this side of the world 😂
So excited about it my plant now ♥️
Thoroughly enjoyed it!!
Thanks so much for your kind words! This made me so happy 😁
Beautiful!

Yay! I've been waiting for this video!
That gives me so much joy! Thanks so much for your kind words. hope you enjoyed it.
Like the “Mary Rose”.
It is utterly gorgeous, isn’t it?
Awesome video…. Seems like you need to make escargot with all the snails in your garden 😂 (sell it to the French 🇫🇷)

Thank you. Great video.
Your welcome, Ami. Thanks so much for your kind words.
Do your roses have thorns?
Yes, some of them do. If you are looking for roses with very few thorns, here are some recommendations: Lichfield Angel and Mary Delany
