Good morning to you. Thank you for sharing such a gorgeous rose. May I know how long it last in a pot or in a vase ? Happy gardening to get

Hi Jay Jay. Love your videos. I have become enamored with the Parfuma collection, thanks to you! Where is the best place to acquire these beauties in the UK? Secondly, can you buy directly from Germany and is it easy to clear customs after Brexit. Ta muchly in advance.

Mate, I checked many websites and those say sweet honey by Kordes is max 90cm (3ft) but yours is 7ft. I’m confused, I was thinking to get this from Peter Beales but if it is 7ft, then It is not for me as I can’t plant it in half whiskey barrel. If you please help me, I’d appreciate it.

😍😍😍

Oh I was waiting to see your summer romance. Do you not have it anymore? You are the reason I now have 2 in my garden. Thanks for inrroducing her to me. Oh my what an amazing variety! To be honest it’s doing better than the other brand we are all so fond of. I never knew other ones could out perform.,

Can you please clarify what you were referring to when you said “ an example of what not to do”

Hi Jay Jay would you mind statinv whether or not a particular rise is from David Austin or not? I

Paul's Himalayan Musk, I had it growing in my hedge and it was an absolute thug. I cut it to the ground hoping it would die but it sent up 20 massive new shoots. Mine also gets black spot, but hopefully no more as I intend to put an end to it, eventually. It's roots probably go down to Australia 😅. Another great video, interesting stuff, thank you.

Jay, I’m not familiar with some of the plants you are touring. Do you mind mentioning it if they are not?

Jay, what a lovely garden. Thanks for sharing your joy.

I love your story telling and incidentally I like this video the best as your garden is filled to the brim with roses. Down under here in Melbourne 30 degrees is the norm for us in summer albeit mild by our standard. May I know what is the spacing you have for your roses in your front garden ? Your story does give a sense of forlornness but that is part of life. The Gurkha handled it the way he knew best and hence the travel he undertook.

Quatre saisons is the most intensely fragrant rose ever.. one & only..( Autumn damask ) knocks you out for six.. makes you feel dizzy with the overwhelming fragrance .. far too powerful

lovely roses. Thank you for your videos.

Great video rose Amadeus looks amazing, absolutely stunning

Please just storys with happy end 😅

Hi JayJay, thank you for the story! It,s absolutely yours - tell stories. I am already waiting for the next one. It seems that we are sitting somewhere in your garden. You did not pointed the right or wrong things, but the story left many questions, which everyone must answer for themselves. Also, the story telling us about you. As to me, I don't like the guard men, actually I agree with your friend... I cannot emagine, but some people like to not think about it, but simply carry out someone’s orders.

I wanted this instant climber, but the delivery charge was £95!! Being out of the EU makes it so unrealistic to get roses from Europe.

I learnt something knew, I thought they had to be open to cut! lol My DA roses only last A DAY when cut, which I thought was normal as they dont last long on the plants anyway!

I love this story even tho it is sad he never seen his best friend again . Thank you for sharing. I hope you post more stories.

Beautiful roses and great story , Jay Jay. If you could grow just 1 perfect red rose shrub, which one would you choose?

He will meet him again because in heaven all who you loved on life will greet you in heaven I believe

Hi m8, I have a circular area in the middle of my garden (130cm diameter). I’d like to plant 3 Olivia Rose Austin. Is it too many to plant in that specific area? I’d like to see full effect.

Heart warming story of friendship. Your garden are full of roses, Eustacia Vye has lots of buds and beautiful pink flowers on your front door, are those Phloxs? Thanks for sharing your garden and the story!🌹

Hello Jay Jay! Your garden was abundant of roses and lots of buds last July. I like the perennials at your backyard. Thanks for sharing your lovely collection of roses.🌹

I couldn’t find Amadeus in any nursery. Where can we find it?

Hm my comment got deleted and i don't remember what I actually said lol. Beautiful roses as always!

Another, cooler, good morning Jay Jay. I hope you had a good holiday and the 'Wheels' behaved. The roses seem to have managed OK without you, I guess you told them you wouldn't be away for too long. They're certainly looking lovely. Your story touches on, Respect, Principles, Sadness, Compassion, Acceptance and maybe agreeing to disagree. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.............maybe they will meet again one day. P.

Beautiful roses and a touching story. The garden looks amazing after a heatwave and a week away. I think the Gurkah you chatted to was honouring his friends decision to leave, he showed great respect and loyalty. A shame he didn't get his 'chance' meeting with him and sad to hear he passed during Covid. I think your Gurkha chap must have been an amazing friend. I enjoyed the story telling, hope you do more.

0:44 Your roses are looking good, mine continue to put out blooms, then 24 hours later they are falling apart from the 90+ degrees heat here in Ohio. Autumn will soon be here and cooler weather will make them last much longer, their last hurrah before , dare I mention it? Winter. 1:45 Britain still has an empire, it is just more circuitous via financial machinations and not political. Islands, with few resources must resort to all manner of chicanery to survive comfortably, Venice Italy was in the same circumstance, making mirrors, art glass and far flung financial machinations was it's lifeblood. ALSO, David Austin sends rose plants to us here in the USA, (or do they grow them in Texas??) I wish that they would send me a Madame Hardy, I would dearly love to have her for several years now!☺☺☺ 3:23 Your Boscabel is awesome, fine color, and cabbage form. 11:07 I have conservative, former christian friends who are exactly the same with internet.I do no argue with them or try to persuade them, I just state what i know to be true and move on letting them believe what they choose to believe. 13:32 The people who I churched with who regard the internet with contempt, are well furnished with tales of marriages broken up via being sucked into a vortex of immorality via the computer, and they treasure these situations to justify themselves. I told them long ago that if they have Christian faith the size of a mustard seed that they can move mountains then no harm shall come. I say these things once, then move on, I have no desire for contentions and drama. So possibly..... I have even heard of conservative moslems with the same injunctions against internet/computers, it really becomes a social control mechanism of a cult leader to isolate his adherents from any outside influence. I would not write all of this, but I have encountered it, interacted with it. So possibly, the ghurka has some religious or cultural aversion to the internet in order that his culture/belief system does not perish. We will not understand THEIR point of view if we look at the situation form OUR point of view, to arrive at understanding, the better that we succeed in understanding the other person's point of view, the greater the chance of harmony, even in marriages. 17:38 "No happy ending to it...", I have no intention of preaching or persuading, merely state what I know to be true. When my 75 years of age father died the year 2019, in an attempt to perhaps understand a few of the curious things that my father said before he passed on (long, miserable colon cancer, he withdrew more and more, unable to speak), I searched online, what I had read 30 years previous, Raymond Moody's near death experience book. So, every evening, without fail, since dad passed on, I listen to one or two near death experiences in which the person "died" then returned to life and explained what they percieved. We do of course need to discern between real experiences and the synthetic ones crafted by some people seeking notoriety who will weave fantastical tales. What I am leading up to, is that your ghurka aquaintance SHALL meet up with his friend again, and the encounter shall be as real or more real than the life that we are now living. We think that our gardens here are wonderful, but our gardens pale in significance to that which we shall all encounter after our tasks here in this life are finished. So, like all things, we can use the internet to create a paradise around us, or we can use it to destroy ourselves, let us not do irreversible damage to ourselves and those around us. Anyhow, your garden is a bit of heaven come down to earth. Thank you for sharing! Ralph in Ohio.

I guess the "happy ending" is the great respect he had for his friend's decision to remove himself from the community. Which, for whatever reason, his friend chose to do. HE is a guy who sticks to his priciples---it would be wrong for him to engage in a hunt for someone who seems not to want to be found, but it is OK if it's that he happened to hear about his friend & happened to run into him. And your roses look pretty darn good for having been on their own for a week!

Hi Jay, only discovered your channel recently, love the honesty you shared despite good and bad issues about roses, too many people's content only showing off how lovely their gardens are, seeing 'real' people's sharing is also appreciated. Also love the storytelling, it shows someone's determination on their believe and honoring his friendship, this is something rarely found in the modern world when everything is so instant and rapid. Thanks for sharing :)

That’s the old way of doing things when we had no internet or investigation societies. He’s going about looking for his friend in a natural way and if he does find his friend their meeting is meant to be. Aww I think it’s beautiful.

Beautiful 🌹❤

Thanks very much for the video and the story … I agree with you - I guess it could be a cultural thing and his respect for his friends decision to withdraw , but he is still trying to find the way to bump into him …

Beautiful roses! I also enjoy the companion plants, especially the combination of deep purple gladiolus?and yellow. What’s the yellow one? Interesting story, sad ending 😢 Sometimes people isolate due to mental issues.

So many beautiful roses Jay Jay, thank you for the beautiful video :) 💝🌹 x

Hi bud Can you please tell me how your Rose Raspberry Parfuma is doing now. My one is very poor and I thought I ask you because I know you have got one a few weeks before me.

Go on holiday again Jay Jay, your roses look absolutely fantastic! Obviously you just need to leave them to themselves and they'll flourish. As for the Gurkha - you can see that someone with a strong sense of honour and respect might take this course - his friend deliberately broke his link with the group and it would be showing disrespect to his friend's decision and the unknown reasons behind it to take obvious steps to find him, but if the link were re-established in a way that could be presented and accepted as "pure chance", that would be "acceptable". Your story reminded me of going on holiday to Northern France with my parents in the early 60s. For a week or more my father took me almost daily (and I am pretty sure sometimes twice daily) to military cemeteries there in search of the gravestone of his best friend (from the same village) who had been in the army with him during the war. I am pleased to say we eventually found it and my father was able to pay his respects and end his quest which had obviously been eating away at him for two decades. My father carried a fragment of shrapnel in his body (too close to vital organs to operate) until he died many years later. Maybe, like concentration camp survivors, he felt guilty that he had survived when his friend had died. Maybe he just wanted to say that last goodbye he had never got to say.

I loved both the story and the roses. I had never heard of Hurkhas before here in Czechia. I can't wait to watch another video. I learned a lot from the story - about Hurkhas, about you as a person and about differences among people and cultures. A very enjoyable time for me. Thank you

Lovely story.beautiful rose 🌹.

I don’t think any of us has to judge this guy and none of us knows what really happened between these two friends or why the other one refuses contact to this group…I think forgiveness and reunion would have been more satisfying but maybe it is a cultural thing…by the way your Roses look great…❤😂

Great narration style mate. Roses look great.

Now, look at that ❤🌹. Dark Desire aka Grafin Diana is a must have for me now. Your garden is thriving! Beautiful❤ These pink perenials are amazing as well!

Lovely story of love, hop, and resilience , our life experiences, and how we perceive them shape the quality of our existence. Usually, our perceptions reflect our own characters....love the storytelling tours, more please

Very beautiful ❤

Garden looks good to me! Great story.

Hi Jay, I missed you last weeks. Thank you for the lovely video. Your roses are nice too 😊

A lovely but sad story.Ypur roses are still looking beautiful.x Liz.

Donna’s garden looks as though it’s loved the heat.
