These gardens are so very German! No glamour or opulence of any kind, just a myriad of stunning rose bushes in bloom and a flowery lawn to showcase them, amazing! I absolutely love German Roses and I do have quite a collection of both Tantau and Kordes plants. Thanks for taking us along, bye 🌹
Finally had some time to watch this video and absolutely loved the tour and so appreciative that you drove all that way and slept in your car to bring us a fabulous video.
Thank you for your kind words about the german style… and thanks for showing us the beautyful roses there! I live just 1,5 hours away and wasn‘t been there anytime 😂. Now I know that saving money for a rosegarden trip to the UK is a good idea 😊.
Rose garden trip always good. We have sissinghurst rose gardens near to us and we are not far from the dover, if you come this way you must give us a shout. :)
Thank you so much for sharing this video and your wonderful narration and captions and editing. I love tantau roses a lot and you convinced me now to buy Lady Capri and Ozeana for their form and of course most importantly fragrance. Please make share more videos like this!
Wow, it was great tour for sure to see the beautiful roses one to one. Nostalgic series roses of Tantau are very popular for their beauty, fragrance and long lasting habits. I agree that red colour roses never look real in video or photographs. Thanks for sharing taking us along.
Wow! I was so excited to see this video because I am planning to order few roses from Tantau and this helps a lot to finally order what I want. It looks better to see the rose plant even in a video compared to looking at a catalogue. I am after of the new rose called ‘Creme Brûlée, very beautiful colour. Starlet Eva and Ozeana are already in my wish list. Some of the roses that they planted there are the ones which are popular and got a lot of international recognitions. I got already some of them in my garden and I’m not surprised if you choose Hansestadt Rostock, it has incredible colour, it’s glowing and beautiful even in the evening. Well done Jay Jay! You made a lot of rose lovers happy with this video.🌹🌹🌹
Ozeana a great rose. The one rose I regret not buying, but I dont need more pink in my garden. But still a cracking rose. I did plan on visiting a couple of places on the way home but mechanical issues I had to concentrate on just getting home. I left Germany a day early. :(
Well Lovely Videographer....on a purely selfish note, i am so glad you brought 'plan B' into practice, drove over 500 miles through torrential rain and slept in the car just to Tantaulise us with beautiful rose after beautiful rose....after all,.it could have been a right croc !⁴ Thank you for sharing Jay Jay ❤️❤️🌹🌹❤️❤️
So you have managed to visit Germany in the end, I am very happy for you! Hansestadt Rostock is the name of the city called ... Rostock which used to be a member of the Hanseatic League :-) It is a beautiful rose, I cannot recommend it enough. I have five Stadt Rom (City of Rome) roses which are covered in flowers right now, they flower for ever and are really healthy. They are in fact ground cover roses. You are absolutely right, in Germany they do not spray with much hence you saw black spot on some of the roses at the Tantau Rosen. Tantau and Kordes do not need to worry about marketing, nurseries all over central Europe take care of it :-)
You have 5 of the Stadt Rom you’ll have no shortage of blooms for sure. They did tell me they spray the roses there at Tantau but they wouldn’t tell me what with. Just nothing harmful.
@@Jay_Jay Definitely! The shortage of blooms is not my problem right now, a family of wild boar is! They have "visited' me three times so far via my neighbour's garden so we're scratching our heads how to fortify the fence effectively. The animals have made a number of holes in my fence, his is in pieces. I'm going to have three lines of steel wire (+ Romans screws) installed on Saturday. I hope it helps. Sorry if you'd felt like a schoolboy with my "lesson" on the German rose names. I've been a teacher all my life, I can't help it ;-)
Oh Jay Jay…for the record: Attention, seen last week at Tantau Headquarters, a slightly confused Person running around between different Rosebushes, throwing his Croque into the Flowerbed….😂😂😂 If you like Soul so much you should take a look into Gospel, smaller in height, blueish leaves, Burgundy coloured 2.5 inch flowers with an incredible deep scent of old Roses…great in a Pot…and don’t trust their height expectations, Souls after 4 years gets up to 6 foot…without support on its tree like stems thanks for showing…the not so spectacular German Rose Garden…😂😂😂you should make another Trip to Steinfurth, Rosen Schultheiß holds the National Collection of old Roses and it’s beautiful there, they Celebrate the Week of the Roses over there in July…😂❤
Thank you and standby whilst I google gospel !:) I’m joking I can’t squeeze anymore roses in. But I do wish to visit the continent again next year. Hopefully south of France maybe Germany again but next time to some proper rose gardens. :)
Then you could Google Rosendorf Steinfurth, near Frankfurt ….and Landhaus Ettenbühl in the southern Part of Germany…I can highly recommend both places…
Wonderful varieties of beautiful roses! Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻! Handestant Rostok is one of the healthiest rose I know! The most healthiest I would say. Available in the UK under name Queen Bee. Grows definitely taller than 80cm but not very tall, grows more wider than taller, flowers later than other roses, good to keep wavy trend of blooming roses in the garden, covered with frowers, keep them for a long time. Mary Ann is one of my favourite. Awaiting to have her as standard tree. She is a sister of Chippendale. Sophie Luise highly recommended for aroma 👍🏻🌹❤️ Doesnt like direct sun. Red Piano available in the UK under name Hope and Glory. Might not open buds fully in the UK, probably better in warmer climate. But in sime gardens in the UK doing absolutely fantastic. Need some time maybe. Lots of roses you showed, which was very interesting to see in real life. Very and very interesting!!! Thank you Jay Jay 🌹❤️
Have you queen bee dilly? I really liked that rose. My favourite. But Ozeana is the rose I should have got. That rose was something else I just got so much pink. :)
I had Queen Bee as tree rose.Not a perfect variety to have as tree rose, however as a bush rose she is incredible! My friend got one in her garden and it looks stunning! I will definitely plant her in future when i have a bigger garden. It is a rose when you plant and forget because she is a ABSOLUTELY HEALTHY 👍🏻 and also very beautiful. The dark foliage with bright orangy gold colour flowers is very beautiful I completely agree with you. She goes a bit wider. Highly and highly recommended 👍🏻🌹❤️ Ozeana i saw only on their website and your video opened my eyes about this rose. Also paid attention to her. Will think about her during bare root season for sure. Lots of roses I didn’t think about but your video changed my mind 🌹❤️
Hi there. Yes that is the one rose I really would have bought. Dare I say I should have bought it. Fantastic rose. Great scent, stood up well. Flowered well. I hear it stands up to heat and rain. Yeah I regret not buying. 😂
Thank you for showing us these roses. I wish they and the Meiland roses were more available in the US. Your right about the marketing. You should go to Meiland headquarters next time. You could do a live chat to fund raise for the next trip so you wouldn't have to sleep in your car!
great fun. wish I could do that. I got two Eva climbers for my front door, Tantau gifted them to me after a bad experience with two Camelot climbers. Eva is a wee stormer, pumping out blooms and they are lasting about three weeks before going very pale pink then shattering. No fragrance so far. I also have Giardina, like gorgeous peonies, Ive had it three years and its only about 6 feet with zero fragrance but I love the form and colour and its healthy. Pastella is super pretty, healthy and floriferous, zero fragrance after three years. Also Augusta Louise, stunning colouration and in its third year is fragrant. Got pomponella and 7 leonardo da vinci this year, bit patchy settling in though. But great fun to se you at Tantau.
Flowers lasting 3 weeks you can’t grumble with that. That’s awesome. Your Pomponella and your Leonardos will put on a great display in time I’m certain. :) best of luck
Thanks for showing us Jay Jay as it's a place I'll never see in person. I think Ken's got his eye on Mary Ann so we may see it in his garden one day. No wonder roses have been voted as our favourite flowers of all time.
Really? I never knew Ken has his eye on Mary Ann I will look forward to him getting that. Will certainly go fine in a pot or front of border I don’t doubt that. :)
Hello Jay. Thanks for this excellent clip. Thanks for travelling all the way to Germany, thanks for taking the time to share this. Thanks also for smelling these roses. The take away message is, that roses vary vastly in colour, disease resistance and scent. Thanks for being brutally honest about the scents. You are very right to do this. Long may this kind of assessment continue. What’s the point of spending a lot of money , time and garden on a rose with no real scent ?. Or a scent when the weather conditions are just right ?. As a rule. More petals means more scent glands. More scent glands unfortunately means shorter lifespan of a rose flower. But does that really matter if it produces 50 flowers? Not really. It only matters to florist shops and wedding planners. In which case roses are grown for longevity, colour, scent isn’t considered in the industry. So roses have been bred for longevity and not scent
Hi Andrew and thank you. I’ve never and I don’t think I will ever be a connoisseur on rose scent. All I know is if I like it and how strong it is to me. And this I pass on to you. But I do try and point out I’m not an expert especially on rose scent!:)
Thank you for taking us along with your tour! Not so good rose garden to visit but beautiful roses to be honest. I have been wanting the three Piano roses for long time but cannot find anywhere in Australia. Sorry to hear your motor home is broke down. Drive carefully JJ
Oh my! Lovely tour and I so wish those roses were more available in the US. You are spot on with the marketing as well. I can't wait to see the rest of the videos.
Hi Diane and thanks. There will be just one more video from Germany and that is the visit to kordes HQ. If you see something you like try help me find, and see if it is known stateside under a different name. They often are.
Greetings from Kentucky Jay Jay. Thank you for your tour. My gosh so many beautiful roses! I think my favorite rose was "Rosario". Pink roses are my favorite. James
Hi James, yes rosario was awesome. But if you like pink roses please check out ozeana. I’m so gutted I didn’t buy that rose. I just don’t need more pink in my garden. But that was an awesome rose too.
@@Jay_Jay Yes, that Ozeana is breathtakingly beautiful! My local nursery just marked down their roses $20.00 off each rose. I picked up a DA rose Princess Anne over the weekend. I decided to put it in a container. It's a beautiful pink. Can't wait for the next tour! James
thanks for bringing me to germany - i cannot afford to travel haha so seeing places like this is fantastic from your tour.. impressed with alot of the tantau and its blooms are very upright and standing. DA seem to have alot of nodding , drooping blooms.
Wonderful rose . I started to like tantau roses. i bought agusta luise, tropicana ans sofie luise rose recently and the roses was wow. Love love. Great vedio jay jay well done
Wow, I love this. Im not too sure these roses are sold here in Australia. Never heard of any of them. Thanks for sharing Jay Jay, don't forget to hydrate in Germany ! Enjoy and stay safe.
Fantastic voyage to the holy source! Royal Piano is now on my list! Love Wedding Piano, got it because of you. I have Mary Ann, love her. I also have Tropicana (2012) by Tantau, perfect rose. I'm becoming obsessed with Tantau genius!
Awesome. Great rose. I’ve zero doubt if you cut some of them royal piano roses you will make someone very happy indeed. That Mary Ann I really liked. :)
Thanks for sharing the tour. We are all so grateful. Yes Mary any, Gemma from garden gems sold me that rose. Unfortunately it is only available in lottum as with many other tantau’s . Lin and myself have agreed to place an order in autumn. Seeing this video has really helped a lot.
Hi Ken I didn’t realise Gemma had this rose I will have to check it out. I was pleased with its colours I have to say. Very eye catching for me. :) that ozeana I’m hoping someone gets that rose that was gorgeous and fragrant too. Ticked all the boxes. Would love to see it in the U.K. come come crazy Ken you know you want that rose too!:)
@@Jay_Jay Hi Jay, even if I don’t have the space I’d still buy it. I’m going to check if lottum has ozeana. I know they have Mary Ann in stock. I just checked a lot of places in uk sell ozeana rose . Unfortunately I don’t have space for a climber.
Wow thank you for doing this tour you made it to Germany - plan B. I hope your back was okay with sleeping in your car. Very interesting to see the different approaches taken, no bells & whistles just stunning healthy roses. I planted bare root Augusta Luise and Pastella at the start of the year but so far they have not flowered I'm seeing buds, they are slow to get going this year maybe all the rain we've had but hopefully next year will be better for them. Rosario was my favourite I am a sucker for the cluster roses look and pink - it has to go on the list :) Looking forward to Kordes next. Thanks so much for sharing this you did a great job.
Haha yeah my back was fine. Yes as I’ve mentioned some of these continental roses very slow to start this year. I still have many in bud waiting first flush. I think it’s low temps they just aren’t opening. They prefer it a little warmer. Rosario yes what a belter. Difficult to believe no stakes or supports but I double checked and nothing, all self supporting. Many of them pruned surprisingly low which may have helped. And may have been reason for the close proximity.
Wow, wow. Their rose health is impressive. I would not leave without Mary Anne. Jay Jay you have just given me a new goal for this year: Find Mary Anne.!!
I hope you bougth Hansestadt Rostock - it is a stellar rose! Very short, but always in flower and always healthy. One of the best Tantau roses. You should have called them in advance, I am sure the could have interviewed someone.
Hi there sadly I did not buy this rose but I could see it was lovely. I did communicate with them prior and after the day and it wasn’t a really flowing type of communication. I’m unsure if they were a little suspicious of my intentions, I don’t know.
Fantastic video JJ. Although the “garden” is rather interesting, no shop or visitors. Reminds me of your Eastcroft visit. Except this time measuring with your Croc not Peter’s knee😂 I hope sleeping in your car wasn’t too uncomfortable for you. It definitely adds to the experience of your adventure. Thanks for sacrificing for our enjoyment!
Thanks Lin, well you do know my crocs are Exceptionally long! And you know what they say about big feet girlfriend :) 😂😂😂 🤥🤥🤥🤥 Sleeping in my car a piece of cake. Back seats down, a little nap and was good to go. :)
Thanks for the tour Jay jay. There seem to be quite few Tantau roses that are not for sale in the UK. Do you know anyone selling Mary Ann in the UK under a different name perhaps? Soul is amazing, I have 2, but as someone mentioned, it gets tall, so for the back of a border or as a short climber perhaps. Did you happen to come across rose Anuschka at Tantau while you were there? Ozeana was my favourite of the lot I think, I might need to look into that one.
Ozeana is the one rose I regret not buying. Great scent and ticked all the boxes. I just don’t need more pink in my garden. No I’m sorry I didn’t see that rose when I was there.
Hi Jay Jay, I love the video! Sometimes a walk around a garden or garden centre after a rain storm can teach you a lot about the way a plant's blooms handle wet weather ( very important here in NW England!) In the UK, Artemis is marketed as "Sweet Child of Mine." It really is a beautiful rose!
Hi Belinda and thanks for watching. Yes always good to see how well they do or don’t do! Thanks for the update seeet child of mine. As you can see I made a boo boo. But it still deserved a mention so I left my boo boo in! :)
Comment as I go through the video. Slept in your car Jay jay! I guess a quart in a pint pot. How much sleep did you get? The roses have certainly weathered the storm OK. As we progress, some really lovely roses - very useful descriptions. As you say, Piano - what a rose. Come the end, you've certainly done these roses justice. So many lovely roses to choose from. It would be lovely to see them again in Aug/Sept so see how they've done over the Summer. Enjoyed. P.
Hi Peter I got an easy 5 hours of actual sleep. That’s in the back of an i10 with seats down. Boom! Yes some lovely roses there and yes August/sept time would be the time to really know how healthy they are. But as I mentioned DA end of June, noticeable BS across the gardens that early in the year. :)
@@Jay_Jay Hi J J, I don't know what DA do about BS. I guess some varieties better than others? Tantau only a bit. Did they do control of any sort? I get it, well my roses do, but I don't do control. Some worse tnan others.
Hi Jayjay I love Tantau roses. I want that Mary Ann. Thanks for the video. Also, I want to share to you another Tantau roses that I love, ‘Aphrodite’ and ‘Eisvogel’ if you don’t have them yet. Maybe you will love it too. Regards from Surrey
Omg I love that beautiful pink rose never seen anything so lush! I also love the wedding piano rose . I want to find it but chances are slim I’m sure here in the USA!👍😎❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi Cathy. I do believe the piano series are available in the states? I could be wrong. Try help me find, there may be under a different name in the states.
Lovely to see the Roses. Even if there’s only a small display. Hansestadt Rostock is known as Queen Bee here. I have 2. There is a light fragrance but blooms last ages.
Thank you Benji, you see you have a great collection most people haven’t heard of. That was a cracking little rose I thought. A little similar in colour to lark ascending but flowers go on much longer. What can be better than that. :)
All right jay. Your gardens look ok to my poor eyes jay regarding payments. Good luck to ya . Adds are going to be in all are lives for ever more so all bloggers hard work should get a slice of the cake. Hope you get a few bob for your pocket wot will adds need to me who watch’s your bits more then once , well I ll just be reddy to hit that skip button. As we all do all ready. , Good luck on future views. I think your posts will only get better as even I can see your efforts are paying off looking forward too your next posts . Ps how’s sean ee. Doing
That was really interesting Jay Jay - thanks for going there to show us those roses we don't tend to see in the UK. Ozeana for me I think if I was buying one., although sometimes what you see in real life has a different impact than an image on screen. I wasn't aware that the EU had introduced the Croc unit of measurement - is there a conversion table online? Looking forward to part two.
You are absolutely correct. Ozeana to my eyes at least was fantastic. If I wanted another pink I would have 100 percent chosen it ahead of anything at kordes. It looked fab. Also Mary Ann a rose I tried to describe as best I could knowing it might not film as well as what I saw. Crocs always a good measurement :)
Beautiful beautiful video Jay. I love the “industry unit” park-Everything straight & clear. I have never been there because it’s very far away. Thank you very much to drive through all these trouble to show us. “Stadt” is “city” and many German rose have “Stadt” in the name. But I must confess, I paused the video to laugh when the Artemis rose appear 😂 😂I had that rose before, so I laugh with all confidence too.😂
Gardina is a very reliable climber/big shrub. I have seen it shining in neglect garden. It’s just not a new and high pursued variety any more. And Matthias Claudius rose, despite its pale-philosopher look 😅, is a crazy strong plant in my garden. This spring it flowers in heavy rain very well, leaves are also perfect.
Thank you for sharing your visit JayJay, so many beautiful roses, i dont know how you came away with one, much stronger willed than i can ever be:) I would have to try for that Mary Ann, not only because its gorgeous but my grandmother's name. Also Handestant Rostok ( thank you "mycutegarden" for the UK name Queen Bee ). I have a pair of crocs so that will allow me to get more roses😂 if its good enough for Tantau and if memory serves your visit to DA shows they plant closer too 😊 Can I ask, is rose Rosario aka "Happy Retirement" , I ask because when I look on Tantau website they say 'Synonym: Happy Retirement ' ??
Yes if you can squeeze your crocs in your good! :) I’m not sure about happy retirement, usually help me find website lists the different names and I don’t see anything on that website for rosario so I can’t confirm.
A little disappointed that I didn't saw 'Tropicana'. I was looking forward for your review on the fragrance and I thing that you would have loved the color
Yes Mary Ann them colours all working together pulling in the same direction. The foliage, the buds and the flowers even as they age. A lot going on but worked dynamite. Loved that.
26:00 I see a sort of Seven Sisters coloration thing going on with your favorite rose. Seven Sisters here in the USA got the name because most racemes contain more or less 7 blooms and they open a well saturated pink which rather quickly fades and each bloom on the raceme has it's own color ranging from deep pink aging on to nearly white. My grandmother, passed on, born 1913 would from time to time mention the Seven Sisters at the homestead where she grew up out in farmlands. Mine recently died from abuse inflicted on it by family, I must get a new one and keep it in a huge pot where I can control it's environment. Anyhow, your favoite rose appaears to begin as yellow, quickly transition to orange, and then on to apricot and then fading out to a whitish apricot. Fascinating.
Okay, but what did you get for Dilly? 😂 I wish you recorded sleeping in your car on the way back, having blooming rose tree next to you 😅 hope to see that! Great adventure though, thanks 🌹
As a German, I can comment on the style of garden actually. It is a very oldschool 50s-60s style of gardening, in the postwar period it was all about an orderly garden with a few insects as possible and an accurate lawn. Bees, insects, wildflowers were considered disorderly and not encouraged. This trend continued into the 70s with other plants introduced that are easy to manage and don’t harbour a lot of birds or insects such an conifers, cherry laurel etc. We are still dealing with the leftovers of those. In the 2000s, especially with the campaign „save the bees“ there is a return to more natural gardening but it is still a long way. But yes, Tantau didn’t get the memo yet!
Hi Megan. I did plan to visit 2 but as you will see in the next video mechanical worries I had to concentrate on getting home. I left Germany a day early. :(
1:52 Let's name THIS rose "Quarterella" because she is beautifully quartered, her pink is gorgeous, but we are so accustomed to gorgeous pink that we take it for granted. How is she for fragrance? 7:18 , yes, I would sleep in the car also, I would be thinking how many rose plants will the cost of lodging buy me??😆😆 I would rather spend the money on new rose plants than to spend the money in the roach motel! 😄😄 8:51 "Hey Marry Ann, what's your game now, can anybody play...." LOL! 11:20 Artrmis appears to have the globular form that I adore.Also stuffed to the gills with petals. 12:10 I have wondered if low, moist, cool valley air feeds blackspot, but high, dry, circulating air at hilltops discourages it?? Is Tantau on high ground? David Austin would most certainly have moist air coming in off of the Atlantic Ocean. 20:06 Nice globular form, old victorian romantic, and I love those flecks of pink, also, blossoms not full blown have that green, fascinating ting around the petal edges like Paschmina Veranda has, I want one! LOL! Wedding Piano, I think that I have seen that offered in the states, I'll study it and it's "Dunft" fragrance. That green tinge of unopened buds may suggest a common ancestry to Paschmina which has no fragrance. I really have no interest in roses posessing no fragrance, UNLESS, they have some other stellar features, primarily, old, romantic, Victorian, cabbage rose form, and if they nod, I keep them in giant pots, and raise them up off of the ground 2 or 3 feet, to eye level, they can be better observed at that hieight anyhow. Also, if the green flower tinge indicates a common ancestry to Paschmina, the Wedding Piano may possibly have the very long bloom retention that Paschmina has. Alas, I see no USA sources for Wedding Piano. My next search will be at Etsy. Asian rose sellers sell roses of these types but they put their own names to them. Anyhow thank you so much for taking us to Tantau! Ralph in Ohio I state my name because listening to call in talk independent radio for 30 years as I work at my workbench, callers state their name and location. Any discussions of gardening really should mention location in order to interpret growth performance in terms of location.
JayJay Could you provide the address and phone number in Germany forTantau? Iam from America. Do you think they would ever ship to America? Thank you for your wonderful channel! Michelle
These gardens are so very German! No glamour or opulence of any kind, just a myriad of stunning rose bushes in bloom and a flowery lawn to showcase them, amazing! I absolutely love German Roses and I do have quite a collection of both Tantau and Kordes plants. Thanks for taking us along, bye 🌹
I’m glad you said that. But this is what I was trying to hint at. Zero glamour, zero sexy sassy appeal…. But some great roses.
Finally had some time to watch this video and absolutely loved the tour and so appreciative that you drove all that way and slept in your car to bring us a fabulous video.
DA say all Roses must be planted 3 Crocs apart.
Great Tour! Thanks for taking us along Jay
😂😂 cheers mate
😂
XD
He might have been wrong then lol You can see the spectacular effect here!
I love German rose gardens! Thank you for sharing 😊
Thank you for your kind words about the german style… and thanks for showing us the beautyful roses there! I live just 1,5 hours away and wasn‘t been there anytime 😂. Now I know that saving money for a rosegarden trip to the UK is a good idea 😊.
Rose garden trip always good. We have sissinghurst rose gardens near to us and we are not far from the dover, if you come this way you must give us a shout. :)

Thankyou so much for this fantastic tour! I was unfamiliar with Tantau, but I am VERY VERY impressed!
~ from Washington state USA
Thanks for watching. Yes some great roses there.
Wow, it was great tour for sure to see the beautiful roses one to one. Nostalgic series roses of Tantau are very popular for their beauty, fragrance and long lasting habits. I agree that red colour roses never look real in video or photographs. Thanks for sharing taking us along.
Thanks Rakesh. Yes that red piano mesmerising in the flesh.
That's is a lovely video and you did a great job of filming!❤❤❤
Thank you country boy
С удовольствием прогуляюсь вместе с вами по питомникам))Спасибо за прогулку🥰
That Mary Ann rose is phenomenal!
Yes I really liked that rose.
Wow! I was so excited to see this video because I am planning to order few roses from Tantau and this helps a lot to finally order what I want. It looks better to see the rose plant even in a video compared to looking at a catalogue. I am after of the new rose called ‘Creme Brûlée, very beautiful colour. Starlet Eva and Ozeana are already in my wish list.
Some of the roses that they planted there are the ones which are popular and got a lot of international recognitions. I got already some of them in my garden and I’m not surprised if you choose Hansestadt Rostock, it has incredible colour, it’s glowing and beautiful even in the evening. Well done Jay Jay! You made a lot of rose lovers happy with this video.🌹🌹🌹
I have ordered Crème Brûlée as bare-root. I can’t wait.
Thank you for showing Tantau headquaters❤ I think I would pick Ozeana, beautiful rose😍. Wonder how far you were from Europa-Rosarium in Germany.
Ozeana a great rose. The one rose I regret not buying, but I dont need more pink in my garden. But still a cracking rose. I did plan on visiting a couple of places on the way home but mechanical issues I had to concentrate on just getting home. I left Germany a day early. :(
Well Lovely Videographer....on a purely selfish note, i am so glad you brought 'plan B' into practice, drove over 500 miles through torrential rain and slept in the car just to Tantaulise us with beautiful rose after beautiful rose....after all,.it could have been a right croc !⁴
Thank you for sharing Jay Jay ❤️❤️🌹🌹❤️❤️
You’re welcome Peter and I thoroughly enjoyed every second. I can assure you the pleasure was all mine. :)
Thank you so much for sharing my most favorite flower 🌹🌹🌹
Remarkable flowers indeed :) thank you
So you have managed to visit Germany in the end, I am very happy for you! Hansestadt Rostock is the name of the city called ... Rostock which used to be a member of the Hanseatic League :-) It is a beautiful rose, I cannot recommend it enough. I have five Stadt Rom (City of Rome) roses which are covered in flowers right now, they flower for ever and are really healthy. They are in fact ground cover roses. You are absolutely right, in Germany they do not spray with much hence you saw black spot on some of the roses at the Tantau Rosen. Tantau and Kordes do not need to worry about marketing, nurseries all over central Europe take care of it :-)
You have 5 of the Stadt Rom you’ll have no shortage of blooms for sure. They did tell me they spray the roses there at Tantau but they wouldn’t tell me what with. Just nothing harmful.
@@Jay_Jay Definitely! The shortage of blooms is not my problem right now, a family of wild boar is! They have "visited' me three times so far via my neighbour's garden so we're scratching our heads how to fortify the fence effectively. The animals have made a number of holes in my fence, his is in pieces. I'm going to have three lines of steel wire (+ Romans screws) installed on Saturday. I hope it helps. Sorry if you'd felt like a schoolboy with my "lesson" on the German rose names. I've been a teacher all my life, I can't help it ;-)
Enjoyed the tour. It's great that you took the time to show how far apart they have been planted. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Naomi. :)
Oh Jay Jay…for the record: Attention, seen last week at Tantau Headquarters, a slightly confused Person running around between different Rosebushes, throwing his Croque into the Flowerbed….😂😂😂 If you like Soul so much you should take a look into Gospel, smaller in height, blueish leaves, Burgundy coloured 2.5 inch flowers with an incredible deep scent of old Roses…great in a Pot…and don’t trust their height expectations, Souls after 4 years gets up to 6 foot…without support on its tree like stems
thanks for showing…the not so spectacular German Rose Garden…😂😂😂you should make another Trip to Steinfurth, Rosen Schultheiß holds the National Collection of old Roses and it’s beautiful there, they Celebrate the Week of the Roses over there in July…😂❤
Thank you and standby whilst I google gospel !:) I’m joking I can’t squeeze anymore roses in. But I do wish to visit the continent again next year. Hopefully south of France maybe Germany again but next time to some proper rose gardens. :)
Then you could Google Rosendorf Steinfurth, near Frankfurt ….and Landhaus Ettenbühl in the southern Part of Germany…I can highly recommend both places…
Wonderful varieties of beautiful roses! Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻! Handestant Rostok is one of the healthiest rose I know! The most healthiest I would say. Available in the UK under name Queen Bee. Grows definitely taller than 80cm but not very tall, grows more wider than taller, flowers later than other roses, good to keep wavy trend of blooming roses in the garden, covered with frowers, keep them for a long time.
Mary Ann is one of my favourite. Awaiting to have her as standard tree. She is a sister of Chippendale.
Sophie Luise highly recommended for aroma 👍🏻🌹❤️ Doesnt like direct sun.
Red Piano available in the UK under name Hope and Glory. Might not open buds fully in the UK, probably better in warmer climate. But in sime gardens in the UK doing absolutely fantastic. Need some time maybe.
Lots of roses you showed, which was very interesting to see in real life. Very and very interesting!!! Thank you Jay Jay 🌹❤️
Have you queen bee dilly? I really liked that rose. My favourite. But Ozeana is the rose I should have got. That rose was something else I just got so much pink. :)
I had Queen Bee as tree rose.Not a perfect variety to have as tree rose, however as a bush rose she is incredible! My friend got one in her garden and it looks stunning! I will definitely plant her in future when i have a bigger garden. It is a rose when you plant and forget because she is a ABSOLUTELY HEALTHY 👍🏻 and also very beautiful. The dark foliage with bright orangy gold colour flowers is very beautiful I completely agree with you. She goes a bit wider. Highly and highly recommended 👍🏻🌹❤️
Ozeana i saw only on their website and your video opened my eyes about this rose. Also paid attention to her. Will think about her during bare root season for sure.
Lots of roses I didn’t think about but your video changed my mind 🌹❤️
@@Jay_Jayin addition to my previous long reply to you forgot to mention that I bought Queen Bee as tree rose from B&Q 3 years ago.
In love with rosa Ozeana 😍I love the red colored stems and buds, and the upright position of its rose. and its pink color is so deep 😍!
Hi there. Yes that is the one rose I really would have bought. Dare I say I should have bought it. Fantastic rose. Great scent, stood up well. Flowered well. I hear it stands up to heat and rain. Yeah I regret not buying. 😂
@@Jay_Jay I know the feeling, Maybe you can find it in the Uk too. Good luck! cause I'm getting me one, thanks to you :)
Beautiful roses❤❤❤ thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching and all credit to the roses. :)
Thank you for showing us these roses. I wish they and the Meiland roses were more available in the US. Your right about the marketing. You should go to Meiland headquarters next time. You could do a live chat to fund raise for the next trip so you wouldn't have to sleep in your car!
I’d love to go to Meilland. On the Mediterranean aswell! I’m gonna try and pursuade mrs Jayjay for next year to come with me. :)
great fun. wish I could do that. I got two Eva climbers for my front door, Tantau gifted them to me after a bad experience with two Camelot climbers. Eva is a wee stormer, pumping out blooms and they are lasting about three weeks before going very pale pink then shattering. No fragrance so far. I also have Giardina, like gorgeous peonies, Ive had it three years and its only about 6 feet with zero fragrance but I love the form and colour and its healthy. Pastella is super pretty, healthy and floriferous, zero fragrance after three years. Also Augusta Louise, stunning colouration and in its third year is fragrant. Got pomponella and 7 leonardo da vinci this year, bit patchy settling in though. But great fun to se you at Tantau.
Flowers lasting 3 weeks you can’t grumble with that. That’s awesome. Your Pomponella and your Leonardos will put on a great display in time I’m certain. :) best of luck
Thanks for showing us Jay Jay as it's a place I'll never see in person. I think Ken's got his eye on Mary Ann so we may see it in his garden one day. No wonder roses have been voted as our favourite flowers of all time.
Really? I never knew Ken has his eye on Mary Ann I will look forward to him getting that. Will certainly go fine in a pot or front of border I don’t doubt that. :)
Hello Jay. Thanks for this excellent clip. Thanks for travelling all the way to Germany, thanks for taking the time to share this. Thanks also for smelling these roses. The take away message is, that roses vary vastly in colour, disease resistance and scent. Thanks for being brutally honest about the scents. You are very right to do this. Long may this kind of assessment continue. What’s the point of spending a lot of money , time and garden on a rose with no real scent ?. Or a scent when the weather conditions are just right ?. As a rule. More petals means more scent glands. More scent glands unfortunately means shorter lifespan of a rose flower. But does that really matter if it produces 50 flowers? Not really. It only matters to florist shops and wedding planners. In which case roses are grown for longevity, colour, scent isn’t considered in the industry. So roses have been bred for longevity and not scent
Hi Andrew and thank you. I’ve never and I don’t think I will ever be a connoisseur on rose scent. All I know is if I like it and how strong it is to me. And this I pass on to you. But I do try and point out I’m not an expert especially on rose scent!:)
Thank you for taking us along with your tour! Not so good rose garden to visit but beautiful roses to be honest. I have been wanting the three Piano roses for long time but cannot find anywhere in Australia. Sorry to hear your motor home is broke down. Drive carefully JJ
Well I wish you luck finding them piano roses. I really liked them.
Oh my! Lovely tour and I so wish those roses were more available in the US. You are spot on with the marketing as well. I can't wait to see the rest of the videos.
Hi Diane and thanks. There will be just one more video from Germany and that is the visit to kordes HQ. If you see something you like try help me find, and see if it is known stateside under a different name. They often are.
Greetings from Kentucky Jay Jay. Thank you for your tour. My gosh so many beautiful roses! I think my favorite rose was "Rosario". Pink roses are my favorite. James
Hi James, yes rosario was awesome. But if you like pink roses please check out ozeana. I’m so gutted I didn’t buy that rose. I just don’t need more pink in my garden. But that was an awesome rose too.
@@Jay_Jay Yes, that Ozeana is breathtakingly beautiful! My local nursery just marked down their roses $20.00 off each rose. I picked up a DA rose Princess Anne over the weekend. I decided to put it in a container. It's a beautiful pink. Can't wait for the next tour! James
thanks for bringing me to germany - i cannot afford to travel haha so seeing places like this is fantastic from your tour.. impressed with alot of the tantau and its blooms are very upright and standing. DA seem to have alot of nodding , drooping blooms.
Glad you came along. :)
very beautiful.
Wonderful rose . I started to like tantau roses. i bought agusta luise, tropicana ans sofie luise rose recently and the roses was wow. Love love. Great vedio jay jay well done
Thank you. All credit to these remarkable roses. :)
Sehr schön 😊🎉
Wow, I love this. Im not too sure these roses are sold here in Australia. Never heard of any of them. Thanks for sharing Jay Jay, don't forget to hydrate in Germany ! Enjoy and stay safe.
Thanks petals :)
Fantastic voyage to the holy source! Royal Piano is now on my list! Love Wedding Piano, got it because of you. I have Mary Ann, love her. I also have Tropicana (2012) by Tantau, perfect rose. I'm becoming obsessed with Tantau genius!
Awesome. Great rose. I’ve zero doubt if you cut some of them royal piano roses you will make someone very happy indeed. That Mary Ann I really liked. :)
Thanks for sharing the tour. We are all so grateful. Yes Mary any, Gemma from garden gems sold me that rose. Unfortunately it is only available in lottum as with many other tantau’s . Lin and myself have agreed to place an order in autumn. Seeing this video has really helped a lot.
Hi Ken I didn’t realise Gemma had this rose I will have to check it out. I was pleased with its colours I have to say. Very eye catching for me. :) that ozeana I’m hoping someone gets that rose that was gorgeous and fragrant too. Ticked all the boxes. Would love to see it in the U.K. come come crazy Ken you know you want that rose too!:)
@@Jay_Jay Hi Jay, even if I don’t have the space I’d still buy it. I’m going to check if lottum has ozeana. I know they have Mary Ann in stock. I just checked a lot of places in uk sell ozeana rose . Unfortunately I don’t have space for a climber.
Wow thank you for doing this tour you made it to Germany - plan B. I hope your back was okay with sleeping in your car. Very interesting to see the different approaches taken, no bells & whistles just stunning healthy roses. I planted bare root Augusta Luise and Pastella at the start of the year but so far they have not flowered I'm seeing buds, they are slow to get going this year maybe all the rain we've had but hopefully next year will be better for them. Rosario was my favourite I am a sucker for the cluster roses look and pink - it has to go on the list :) Looking forward to Kordes next. Thanks so much for sharing this you did a great job.
Haha yeah my back was fine.
Yes as I’ve mentioned some of these continental roses very slow to start this year. I still have many in bud waiting first flush. I think it’s low temps they just aren’t opening. They prefer it a little warmer. Rosario yes what a belter. Difficult to believe no stakes or supports but I double checked and nothing, all self supporting. Many of them pruned surprisingly low which may have helped. And may have been reason for the close proximity.
@@Jay_JayI'm sure you are right, I planted White Eden at the same time and it too isn't doing anything much.
Wow, wow. Their rose health is impressive. I would not leave without Mary Anne. Jay Jay you have just given me a new goal for this year: Find Mary Anne.!!
Great rose I thought. Very eye catching in an intriguing way. Colours work beautiful
Such beautiful roses I want them all😍♥️✨
You and me both Eric :)
@@Jay_Jay yeyyy but im not Eric🥲
Beautiful ❤
Thanks Debbie
Watching ❤❤❤❤ sending support ❤❤
Thank you :)
I hope you bougth Hansestadt Rostock - it is a stellar rose! Very short, but always in flower and always healthy. One of the best Tantau roses. You should have called them in advance, I am sure the could have interviewed someone.
Hi there sadly I did not buy this rose but I could see it was lovely.
I did communicate with them prior and after the day and it wasn’t a really flowing type of communication.
I’m unsure if they were a little suspicious of my intentions, I don’t know.
Fantastic video JJ. Although the “garden” is rather interesting, no shop or visitors. Reminds me of your Eastcroft visit. Except this time measuring with your Croc not Peter’s knee😂
I hope sleeping in your car wasn’t too uncomfortable for you. It definitely adds to the experience of your adventure. Thanks for sacrificing for our enjoyment!
Thanks Lin, well you do know my crocs are Exceptionally long! And you know what they say about big feet girlfriend :) 😂😂😂 🤥🤥🤥🤥
Sleeping in my car a piece of cake. Back seats down, a little nap and was good to go. :)
Thanks for the tour Jay jay. There seem to be quite few Tantau roses that are not for sale in the UK. Do you know anyone selling Mary Ann in the UK under a different name perhaps? Soul is amazing, I have 2, but as someone mentioned, it gets tall, so for the back of a border or as a short climber perhaps. Did you happen to come across rose Anuschka at Tantau while you were there? Ozeana was my favourite of the lot I think, I might need to look into that one.
Ozeana is the one rose I regret not buying. Great scent and ticked all the boxes. I just don’t need more pink in my garden. No I’m sorry I didn’t see that rose when I was there.
Hi Jay Jay, I love the video! Sometimes a walk around a garden or garden centre after a rain storm can teach you a lot about the way a plant's blooms handle wet weather ( very important here in NW England!) In the UK, Artemis is marketed as "Sweet Child of Mine." It really is a beautiful rose!
Hi Belinda and thanks for watching. Yes always good to see how well they do or don’t do!
Thanks for the update seeet child of mine. As you can see I made a boo boo. But it still deserved a mention so I left my boo boo in! :)
Comment as I go through the video. Slept in your car Jay jay! I guess a quart in a pint pot. How much sleep did you get? The roses have certainly weathered the storm OK. As we progress, some really lovely roses - very useful descriptions. As you say, Piano - what a rose. Come the end, you've certainly done these roses justice. So many lovely roses to choose from. It would be lovely to see them again in Aug/Sept so see how they've done over the Summer. Enjoyed. P.
Hi Peter I got an easy 5 hours of actual sleep. That’s in the back of an i10 with seats down. Boom! Yes some lovely roses there and yes August/sept time would be the time to really know how healthy they are. But as I mentioned DA end of June, noticeable BS across the gardens that early in the year. :)
@@Jay_Jay Hi J J, I don't know what DA do about BS. I guess some varieties better than others? Tantau only a bit. Did they do control of any sort? I get it, well my roses do, but I don't do control. Some worse tnan others.
Hi Jayjay
I love Tantau roses. I want that Mary Ann. Thanks for the video. Also, I want to share to you another Tantau roses that I love, ‘Aphrodite’ and ‘Eisvogel’ if you don’t have them yet. Maybe you will love it too.
Regards from Surrey
Omg I love that beautiful pink rose never seen anything so lush! I also love the wedding piano rose . I want to find it but chances are slim I’m sure here in the USA!👍😎❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi Cathy. I do believe the piano series are available in the states? I could be wrong. Try help me find, there may be under a different name in the states.
@@Jay_Jay really ?I’ll do some research thanks!👍😎❤️
Lovely to see the Roses. Even if there’s only a small display.
Hansestadt Rostock is known as Queen Bee here. I have 2. There is a light fragrance but blooms last ages.
Thank you Benji, you see you have a great collection most people haven’t heard of. That was a cracking little rose I thought. A little similar in colour to lark ascending but flowers go on much longer. What can be better than that. :)
@@Jay_Jay worth getting does well in a pot if you can find one. If not I’ll see if I can send you a cutting.
All right jay.
Your gardens look ok to my poor eyes jay regarding payments. Good luck to ya . Adds are going to be in all are lives for ever more so all bloggers hard work should get a slice of the cake. Hope you get a few bob for your pocket wot will adds need to me who watch’s your bits more then once , well I ll just be reddy to hit that skip button. As we all do all ready. ,
Good luck on future views. I think your posts will only get better as even I can see your efforts are paying off looking forward too your next posts . Ps how’s sean ee. Doing
That was really interesting Jay Jay - thanks for going there to show us those roses we don't tend to see in the UK. Ozeana for me I think if I was buying one., although sometimes what you see in real life has a different impact than an image on screen. I wasn't aware that the EU had introduced the Croc unit of measurement - is there a conversion table online? Looking forward to part two.
You are absolutely correct. Ozeana to my eyes at least was fantastic. If I wanted another pink I would have 100 percent chosen it ahead of anything at kordes. It looked fab. Also Mary Ann a rose I tried to describe as best I could knowing it might not film as well as what I saw.
Crocs always a good measurement :)
@@Jay_Jay Available from Peter Beales guys
Beautiful beautiful video Jay. I love the “industry unit” park-Everything straight & clear. I have never been there because it’s very far away. Thank you very much to drive through all these trouble to show us. “Stadt” is “city” and many German rose have “Stadt” in the name. But I must confess, I paused the video to laugh when the Artemis rose appear 😂 😂I had that rose before, so I laugh with all confidence too.😂
Gardina is a very reliable climber/big shrub. I have seen it shining in neglect garden. It’s just not a new and high pursued variety any more. And Matthias Claudius rose, despite its pale-philosopher look 😅, is a crazy strong plant in my garden. This spring it flowers in heavy rain very well, leaves are also perfect.
Outstanding! Sadly, most Tantau roses are not available here in America. Royal Piano was stunning!
I really liked that one yes. Sorry to hear not available stateside. I do believe the piano series are though. I could be wrong.
@@Jay_Jay Grace Rose Farm has "exclusive" rights. And they dont play well with others.
Thank you for sharing your visit JayJay, so many beautiful roses, i dont know how you came away with one, much stronger willed than i can ever be:)
I would have to try for that Mary Ann, not only because its gorgeous but my grandmother's name. Also Handestant Rostok ( thank you "mycutegarden" for the UK name Queen Bee ).
I have a pair of crocs so that will allow me to get more roses😂 if its good enough for Tantau and if memory serves your visit to DA shows they plant closer too 😊
Can I ask, is rose Rosario aka "Happy Retirement" , I ask because when I look on Tantau website they say 'Synonym: Happy Retirement ' ??
Yes if you can squeeze your crocs in your good! :) I’m not sure about happy retirement, usually help me find website lists the different names and I don’t see anything on that website for rosario so I can’t confirm.
A little disappointed that I didn't saw 'Tropicana'. I was looking forward for your review on the fragrance and I thing that you would have loved the color
Yes Mary Ann was my favourite fantastic colour I have a rosen tantau called Augusta luise 9 out 10 for fragrance and great health
Yes Mary Ann them colours all working together pulling in the same direction. The foliage, the buds and the flowers even as they age. A lot going on but worked dynamite. Loved that.
Enjoyed the video. Can you tell me what the orange rose is at 6.49 before you scan around? Thanks.
26:00 I see a sort of Seven Sisters coloration thing going on with your favorite rose. Seven Sisters here in the USA got the name because most racemes contain more or less 7 blooms and they open a well saturated pink which rather quickly fades and each bloom on the raceme has it's own color ranging from deep pink aging on to nearly white. My grandmother, passed on, born 1913 would from time to time mention the Seven Sisters at the homestead where she grew up out in farmlands. Mine recently died from abuse inflicted on it by family, I must get a new one and keep it in a huge pot where I can control it's environment. Anyhow, your favoite rose appaears to begin as yellow, quickly transition to orange, and then on to apricot and then fading out to a whitish apricot. Fascinating.
Awesome video mate :D
Cheers mate
I love the lemon 🍋 one that you like
It was lovely. You’ll see a lemon one when I go to kordes. :)
Okay, but what did you get for Dilly? 😂 I wish you recorded sleeping in your car on the way back, having blooming rose tree next to you 😅 hope to see that! Great adventure though, thanks 🌹
Hi I’m hoping dilly will reveal all soon enough. I know it was a rose she wanted but you didn’t see it today. ;)
Piano buds look just like peonies! What is the best site to get German roses in the UK, please?..Thanks for the video, much appreciated!!!

My favorite Tantan roses are Chippendale, Eisvogel, Voyage and Soul.
So, which did you buy? Hansestadt Rostock?

As a German, I can comment on the style of garden actually. It is a very oldschool 50s-60s style of gardening, in the postwar period it was all about an orderly garden with a few insects as possible and an accurate lawn. Bees, insects, wildflowers were considered disorderly and not encouraged. This trend continued into the 70s with other plants introduced that are easy to manage and don’t harbour a lot of birds or insects such an conifers, cherry laurel etc. We are still dealing with the leftovers of those. In the 2000s, especially with the campaign „save the bees“ there is a return to more natural gardening but it is still a long way. But yes, Tantau didn’t get the memo yet!
you should visit a Rosarium in Germany...
Hi Megan. I did plan to visit 2 but as you will see in the next video mechanical worries I had to concentrate on getting home. I left Germany a day early. :(
@@Jay_Jay sorry to hear that! maybe next time, good that everything finished well
1:52 Let's name THIS rose "Quarterella" because she is beautifully quartered, her pink is gorgeous, but we are so accustomed to gorgeous pink that we take it for granted. How is she for fragrance? 7:18 , yes, I would sleep in the car also, I would be thinking how many rose plants will the cost of lodging buy me??😆😆 I would rather spend the money on new rose plants than to spend the money in the roach motel! 😄😄 8:51 "Hey Marry Ann, what's your game now, can anybody play...." LOL! 11:20 Artrmis appears to have the globular form that I adore.Also stuffed to the gills with petals. 12:10 I have wondered if low, moist, cool valley air feeds blackspot, but high, dry, circulating air at hilltops discourages it?? Is Tantau on high ground? David Austin would most certainly have moist air coming in off of the Atlantic Ocean. 20:06 Nice globular form, old victorian romantic, and I love those flecks of pink, also, blossoms not full blown have that green, fascinating ting around the petal edges like Paschmina Veranda has, I want one! LOL! Wedding Piano, I think that I have seen that offered in the states, I'll study it and it's "Dunft" fragrance. That green tinge of unopened buds may suggest a common ancestry to Paschmina which has no fragrance. I really have no interest in roses posessing no fragrance, UNLESS, they have some other stellar features, primarily, old, romantic, Victorian, cabbage rose form, and if they nod, I keep them in giant pots, and raise them up off of the ground 2 or 3 feet, to eye level, they can be better observed at that hieight anyhow. Also, if the green flower tinge indicates a common ancestry to Paschmina, the Wedding Piano may possibly have the very long bloom retention that Paschmina has. Alas, I see no USA sources for Wedding Piano. My next search will be at Etsy. Asian rose sellers sell roses of these types but they put their own names to them. Anyhow thank you so much for taking us to Tantau!

I state my name because listening to call in talk independent radio for 30 years as I work at my workbench, callers state their name and location. Any discussions of gardening really should mention location in order to interpret growth performance in terms of location.
I’m so jealous. Tantau gets hundreds of € from me each year. They grow best for me here in Bavaria.
JayJay
Could you provide the address and phone number in Germany forTantau? Iam from America. Do you think they would ever ship to America? Thank you for your wonderful channel! Michelle
I commented about this on Rose Geeks..asked people to subscribe...I think some did.❤
Hi Debbie, I don’t visit Facebook so often but yes I did see your post and it did make me smile :). Thank you.
