I can remember when I smelled the first time the jubilee celebration. I was just stunned. The scent is the strongest in the early morning hours. I couldnt belive it. The various scents of these roses have helped me to cope with depression. They were and are the therapy for me.
I lost my ability to smell most roses. My heart breaks. I am really sad. I can smell double delight. I will need to purchase it. Even if it isn't my favorite to look at. I MISS rose scent. I will need to check these out, as well.
Using aromatherapy oils can do the same thing like Gardenia/Bulgarian rose combination because Bulgarian rose is expensive on it's own, there are other rose variant oils as well.
Honestly I deleted my last comment but have to say I've been going thru some medical issues and this was just what i needed what s pick me up, keep them coming 😂❤👍
I've been growing roses for decades and always on the lookout for the most fragrent roses. So far, the McCartney rose is the most fragrent rose I have ever smelled. They are a beautiful pink bloom. You can easily smell them from 8-10 feet away, and the scent is excellent. I still have one in my garden.
Yes! On the shade tolerant roses. I have a section of my cutflower garden that is partially shaded. I would love to know which roses would do ok in that section.
Love the Austin roses, but nowhere on anyone's list have I ever seen my favorite, & now it's almost impossible to find--Brother Cadfael. Humongous globular flowers with an old-rose scent to die for. It is almost a climber, or grandiflora. I don't know why no one ever mentions this rose & I fear it will disappear from all the mail order nurseries soon. Thanks for your devotion to the David Austin legacy!
@@LisaOsterholt Thanks so much, Lisa, sorry it took me so long to notice your reply. I think you might be referring to Der Rosenmeister Nursery? That's the one I saw on Flock finger Lakes, but the Der R. nursery does not sell David Austin roses--they do have a "Brothers Grimm" rose--were you perhaps confusing that with Brother Cadfael? Or have I just missed something? David Austin Roses in Texas still sells this rose, but that's the only nursery I can find. So I'm not totally out of luck--yet! I do think I know why it may be out of favor--I've had no luck propagating it at all (I know--naughty me if it's still "copyrighted!") so I wonder if it is difficult to propagate. It's never been popular, & there are other similar Austin roses---he was often criticized for that.But I really thank you for trying to help--if I knew your address I'd send you a "Bro" next spring!
@@vintagelady1 I did confuse the two brothers. Good luck with propagation. I have to have tough roses living in Duluth MN. Der Rosenmeister specializes for that. I need to plan a trip next spring to purchase a rambler.
David Austin website has your Brother Cascade rose but they are currently out of stock. Put yourself on their waiting list and they'll notify you when they have more for sale.
@@dianetemple4243 Thanks, Diane, I think you mean brother Cadfael, & many months ago I did put myself on the waitlist, I got a notification & dashed to the website to order 3 of them! They are now sitting happily in nice rich potting soil in my "rose nursery, where all of my 47 rosebushes (I have a tendency to overdo things...) are awaiting the completion of my new rose garden. Some will stay in pots, Cadfael does not like it so they will get a prime garden spot. And right after I ordered them, they went out of stock & have not got back for many months. DA bushes are pretty mature, maybe 2 years old, so hard for them to keep up w/ the market---I've also had trouble getting Pr. Alexandra (got it through Regan finally!!) & some I just despair of getting, esp. as I REALLY prefer own-root. But thanks again, I'm hoping I have enough now!
My fave is Gertrude Jekyll. Strong perfume! If you are looking for the bloom and perfume this is it. The actual bush could be a little prettier, maybe fuller but the blooms are very pretty. This rose’s perfume actually made it up and through my bedroom window! Heavenly scent! Like a fine, French-milled soap. I think roses generally grown better in Europe. Austria does a great job cultivating their roses as does Italy. Giant blooms there!
The deer loved my Gertrude Jekyll and wouldn't leave it alone. It didn't respond well to transplant shock and unfortunately passed away while in dormancy planted in a pot, over our harsh zone 6a winter. The variety is so pleasant but it needs to be protected by a passionate and observant gardener.
Not only do I agree with your outstanding list....your enthusiasm and passion for these gorgeous roses is fabulous and makes us love them even more!!! Thanks for sharing!😍
5:46 I love the chalice/cupped form, she appears to be quartered, and the pink is a lovely, old, vintage shade of pink, not the strongly saturated modern coloration, I love Emily. Gertrude Jekyll deserves such a wonderful namesake. Gertrude Jekyll would not quit until her body forced her to quit. A dear soul in the cottage garden pantheon, long passed on, but left much nostalgic and intrigueing writing and garden plans. Vita Sackville West created high style gardens on a colossal scale where the indentity of the plants were regimented into battalions of "soldiers" in formation, yes, distinguished accomplishments, but Gertrude created gardens where each flower/plant was a distinct, and noticed member in the garden family. I can not write enough good about Jekyll and Gertrude would be quite flattered to have such a superior rose bearing her name. Gertrude was born into English nobility, but what was associated with that was a "drag" for her, Getrude worked like a peasant, her house manners were that of a peasant creating soul meltingly beuatiful gardens, paradise. Ralph in Ohio Come springtime, I must refer back to this video when deciding which rose to get. I weary of the thought of getting ANOTHER pink rose, but it seems that Gertrude Jekyll is the high scent rose to acquire. And hopefully, i shall be able to acquire a Madame Hardy for her superior quartering in a white bloom. I don't care much for white, to me the color white is an uninteresting blank sheet of paper, but white shows off quartered form much more effectively than darker colors.
Ever since Covid, David Austin roses have been very difficult to find here in the USA. You had several on your list that I don't have so I signed up for an email reminder when they come back in stock. Thank you!
I was delighted to see your number one pick. I just bought a Gertrude that was in poor shape and am glad to see some new growth. It’s my first but not last David Austin.
Я так умиляюсь вашими выпусками! Это видение розы в Ваших руках, в домашних баночка, за домашним столом, с таким придыханием и преклонением перед Его Величеством Розой!!! Браво, Вы и Ваши Розы это так классно! Ваши ролики проникают в самое сердце!
Gertrude has been my favourite rose for over 50 years my only sadness with it is that it only flowers once, but OH what a show it puts on, it is breath taking, the perfume is out of this world, truly , the most beautiful of roses in the world.
You can hear the love of your beautiful roses in your voice .So lucky to have 11 of your favourites . Sadly, no room for for tess .Loved hearing you describe the scent. Since my second covid 6 months ago i cant smell my roses at all so i love this video .Thank you
Darren really loves his roses. I enjoy the way you showed us all sides of each flower. I have Tess, Strawberry Hill and Crowned Princess Margarite in my garden. Davis Austin roses never fail to impress. I have been waffling lately to get Desdemona or Emily Brontë. This video has allowed me to realize that I ADORE the Victorian look of Emily…. She’s a “stunner”! 😊❤
Wonderful, I have a few that you have featured, Gertie is my favourite followed by Jude but you have introduced me to some beautiful Rose's....it's so addictive!
Best video on RUclips. Thank you! I have Jubilee Celebration, Jude the Obscure, and Gertrude Jekyll. All three are new to my garden this year. Jubilee Celebration is blowing my mind. What an incredible rose! It keeps blooming over and over again! I can't believe it.
Thank you for your video. I love hearing about others opinions on roses. Both boscobel and jubilee celebration were on my list. Now I'm more excited thanks
I just received my David Austin rose, Darcy Bussel & she already has a budi absolutely cannot wait to see & smell her… I ordered her from HEIRLOOM ROSES here in USA & they arrived perfectly, already growing back, SO HEALTHY
I agree about 'Jude the Obscure' having a strong fruity fragrance. It's sad that some of these older varieties are no longer available. Another one is 'St. Swithun', a delicious bubblegum-myrrh fragrance you can almost eat.
Charles Austin rose😀 This is an old DA rose (1973) and has absolutly amazing fruity scent. I have a garden in Poland (zone 6b) and almost 80 varieties of roses😉( I love scent of Chandos Beauty and Bienvenue but they are not DA roses)
Hello David, I certainly found it a true treat you gave us in showing us the best of the Perfumery roses. Most delighted to see and learn. Thankyou. I am just new to and planting my first bare root rose x9 this past week ongoing still, & another 9 will be flown in to me mid next month. I am in Brisbane, Australia. 3x Kordes Dark Desire, Very strong Perfumery. 3x Tangles florabunda, 3 x Dwarf Fairy Red. All are 5 star in health.
Indeed Emily Brontë and Munstead Wood have an amazing fragrance, better in their 3rd year onward. I think i had a better nose before covid but these two are my best scented. Munstead wood is easier to propagate from cuttings than other austins ive tried. I still waiting for Mme. Alfred Carrière and Madame Isaac Pereire to fully mature and see what all the fuss is about.
I absolutely loveee those roses!! My Alfred Carriere died on me 😭 I hope you have better luck with yours. I agree… the scent does get stronger as the plant matures 😊
I fell in love with Desdemona the moment I saw it in someone's garden this June. I am definitely going to plant it in autumn, even though it is not "my type" of rose as I prefer roses with single and double flowers.
I remember taking my first sniff of Tess d'Urbeville, and I was surprised at the strong elderberry smell. It stayed im my memory for all these years even though I do not grow it anymore.
Bravo Darren!!I just love how you describe the roses. It shows your deep passion and your love of your roses. You have amazing collection of roses. Keep up the good work! Best regards from Germany!🌹🐝
I have some of these roses and I love all their scents. However, my strongest scented rose is missing in this list - Harlow Carr - smells of old English rose, I can smell it whenever I walk by it. I’ve been thinking about buying Emily Bronte and Desdemona and your description of their scent has sealed the deal for me. 😍
Love your video..I am saving up for Munstead Wood - so glad u love it :) There is a creamy/ white one growing up the road from me, and it is absolutely gorgeous ..I don't know the name - i am not sure if it Clare Austin. The scent is gorgeous and the buds and blooms and then the rose hips are all just stunning.
I am delighted to find someone else who loves Abraham Darby. The fragrance is so strong and fruity. And personally I find its blooms the most beautiful of all my roses - on a good day. Unfortunately DA withdrew it in the UK a few years ago, I believe because it is so prone to disease in our climate as the season goes on. I had to cut mine back severely yesterday because the leaves were affected by black spot and rust, and maybe other problems too. It also tends to produce lots of thin wiggling little stems shooting out in all directions. One day perhaps the David Austin team will create something as fragrant and colourfully beautiful as Abe without the disease issue. But I'll cherish my example and enjoy his early-season display again next year.
My absolute favorite for both beauty and perfume mustered wood, radio times(glowy pink, quick rebloom), st cecilia.. sounds like I need to make room for Jude, and GJ
Absolutely beautiful description of all your roses 🌹. I love my Munstead Wood for her scent too, but also for her velvety petals. They are exceptional this year!!! My very first roses were actually Munstead Wood and Gertrude Jekyll. Do you have Poet’s Wife Daren? Her scent is gorgeous too and she looks like sunshine ☀️
I just received and planted my Davis Austin Generous gardener, climbing rose. I'm really loving roses here lately. However my Peonys are my absolute favorite! And I added Hydrangeas last year. 🙂
I am surprised Eustacia wasn’t on the list but how do you even choose? FYI Jude is the most beautiful rose I have ever seen. It is so unusual and mysterious to me. I just love it! Love this video and would love to see more!
I have a little rose bush called Precious Amber which is described by sellers as lightly scented. Yesterday was sunny and hot, my roses have just started blooming and I went from rose to rose having a good deep sniff, and Precious Amber had a stronger and better perfume than Gertrude Jekyll, who is covered in big blooms this week. I think Gertrude is consistently gorgeous and other roses sometimes hide their scent and only bring them out on certain days because they are THAT EPIC.
Yes, thank you so much , Darren. A great Top of the Scants! But please can you tell me how many walls you have on your property??? How many climbers can you fit into a garden? How many archways can a path take? What do you do after the blooms have stopped?
Here in Europe Jude wont be available. Evelyn will be also out of the market. Its very sad. I have 3X Jude and 1X Evelyn I take care very carefully of these roses. The are my faves
You can root them by cutting and use Rooting Powder. But have to be patient caring and waiting for them to grow :) I just did one for Jude & Evelyn because I only have one each but couldn't order them (or quick enough). I LOVE JUDE!!!
@@darren-harwood I am beyond excited, I ordered my first one yesterday. I don’t have any David Austin roses but I will🥰 I’m new to roses.. there’s A LOT to learn… hope you’re feeling better hun
Die Rosen von David Austin sind so bezaubern und schön. Ich liebe sie so sehr. Die sind die Quelle für Glück und Schönheit. Die Rosen sind für uns ein Lebenselixier.

@gryl7471 pray on your nose and ask God to give you back your scent. Citrus and woody notes, you will likely pick up more.
Using aromatherapy oils can do the same thing like Gardenia/Bulgarian rose combination because Bulgarian rose is expensive on it's own, there are other rose variant oils as well.

Just suggestion, you can start the most beautiful flowers, most healthy, most shade tolerant…video series, Thank you.
I agree, especially the vase life. That would be a most interesting series.
I alsi agree but for me the most shade tolerant would be the most helpful. 🤗
Yes! On the shade tolerant roses. I have a section of my cutflower garden that is partially shaded. I would love to know which roses would do ok in that section.
Great idea… I’ll see what I can do? :D

I think bishop's castle also have strong fragrance.... love your video
What about Abraham Darby??? I have most of these varietals, but I have to say, Abe is my most fragrant.
I am delighted to find someone else who loves Abraham Darby. The fragrance is so strong and fruity. And personally I find its blooms the most beautiful of all my roses - on a good day. Unfortunately DA withdrew it in the UK a few years ago, I believe because it is so prone to disease in our climate as the season goes on. I had to cut mine back severely yesterday because the leaves were affected by black spot and rust, and maybe other problems too. It also tends to produce lots of thin wiggling little stems shooting out in all directions. One day perhaps the David Austin team will create something as fragrant and colourfully beautiful as Abe without the disease issue. But I'll cherish my example and enjoy his early-season display again next year.

@@Rena0Dawn she is super thorny but a must have. I wouldn’t be without this rose. She also blooms through high heat and humidity, very heathy
I just received and planted my Davis Austin Generous gardener, climbing rose. I'm really loving roses here lately. However my Peonys are my absolute favorite! And I added Hydrangeas last year. 🙂
I am surprised Eustacia wasn’t on the list but how do you even choose? FYI Jude is the most beautiful rose I have ever seen. It is so unusual and mysterious to me. I just love it! Love this video and would love to see more!
Ahh, I agree…. There’s something very special about Jude 😍 Thanks for watching. Sending love xxx
Wow, gorgeous blooms.
Cannot believe I have six of them, and now one more on the list, if it is available here.
Thank you.
💞🇦🇺
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Gertrude Jekyll is one of favorites too
Captivating
thank you Darren for the wonderful vdo. just like to ask your opinion on Harlow Carr and William Shakespeare 2000. Cheers.
Yeay! I’m excited to watch this video! This is only my 2nd year with 2 roses from DA . ❤️😀
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Lets not forget Charles darwin and golden celebration
I have a little rose bush called Precious Amber which is described by sellers as lightly scented. Yesterday was sunny and hot, my roses have just started blooming and I went from rose to rose having a good deep sniff, and Precious Amber had a stronger and better perfume than Gertrude Jekyll, who is covered in big blooms this week. I think Gertrude is consistently gorgeous and other roses sometimes hide their scent and only bring them out on certain days because they are THAT EPIC.
Lovely!. Would you mind sharing a link of your garden tour if you have one?
I’m so saddened to know Judas the obscure is discontinued. I’m still on the look out here in the states to get her.
Yes, thank you so much , Darren. A great Top of the Scants! But please can you tell me how many walls you have on your property??? How many climbers can you fit into a garden? How many archways can a path take? What do you do after the blooms have stopped?
Haha one manages to squeeze in the roses. Once the roses are done, I tend to the house haha xx
Just planted 'the Generous Gardener' today. Hope to, eventually, get every DA rose. I have over 50 already mostly DA.
I was miserable until I watched this! Tess of the D’Urbervilles is absolutely delightful!
And Tess really does last a long time when cut. I had one for a month in a vase!!! I just ended up keeping it as a dried flower.
Here in Europe Jude wont be available. Evelyn will be also out of the market. Its very sad. I have 3X Jude and 1X Evelyn I take care very carefully of these roses. The are my faves
You can root them by cutting and use Rooting Powder. But have to be patient caring and waiting for them to grow :) I just did one for Jude & Evelyn because I only have one each but couldn't order them (or quick enough). I LOVE JUDE!!!
There are nurseries in Poland that still have it, I believe they also send abroad: www.floribunda.pl/jude-the-obscure-ausjo-id-2396.html

Was Thomas Hardy popular reading with David Austin?
Have you experienced anything similar to the fragrance of jubilee celebration? I really love the lemon scent in jubilee.
Yes- Jeanne Moreau rose smells like Jubilee I have both.
Die Rosen von David Austin sind so bezaubern und schön. Ich liebe sie so sehr. Die sind die Quelle für Glück und Schönheit. Die Rosen sind für uns ein Lebenselixier.

Das ist meine Lieblings Video!
Meine Lebens Retter!!
