Hi Peggy, best of luck as Darcy is no longer available. I have her in the ground ( sunny location) yet to have impress me. I what I did noticed last summer her blooms lasted a long time. Poak is a fantastic choice, hope yours is as fragrant as mine.

Hello Ken, this video was recommended today, I am collecting opinions about Princess Alexandra of Kent and I think your right, she should not be missed in anyone’s garden. Thanks for your honest opinion about roses!🌹

[@teslaandhumanity7383]

Shallot I think it’s called .

[@kenvoong5977]

Lady shallot is one of the best performing rose in my garden, constantly producing flowers from the start even in November when all others are starting to settle down for winter. Only downside is she lacks fragrance.

[@nikkonch]

Thank you for a very restful and beautiful video. It's good to see roses that I haven't got (yet), to see how they look and perform in real life. I think I agree that Lady of Shalott, despite her numerous colourful flowers lacks charisma, but she still looks good. My Princess Alexandra is in her first summer and as yet seems far from being a good repeater, I have been waiting weeks for a single new bloom, but time will tell, and she is getting lots of buds at present. Yes, Eustacia Vye does suffer in the rain, but for me she is, along with Gabriel Oak, the most reliable and almost continuous flowering rose in my garden. Any yes, Desdemona is a beautiful, fragrant rose, and probably the best white rose.

[@kenvoong5977]

I’m glad you agree with me in this Nik

[@verity7997]

[@rosegardengems]

Hello Ken, it was lovely to watch this video! I can see how passionate you are as a rose lover and for sure your roses are enjoying the TLC you’ve given them. It’s funny when you talked about the Verbena, we call it Eisenkraut here in Germany, I have the same experience, it scattered itself in different pots. I definitely will get Desdomona and Princess Alexandra of Kent. Have you tried any German roses from Kordes or French roses like Meilland, they are equally beautiful and have incredible scent too. Thanks for sharing your garden!🌹

[@kenvoong5977]

Thank you for your lovely comment, yes I’m very passionate about my roses, shame as work a full time job and often enough don’t have to to enjoy it’s blooms. I really wish I got more kordes roses ( I have summer romance and leonardo Da Vinci by Meiland. German breeder kordes are equally as good as David Austin . The blooms last a longer time, longer thank any of my Da roses. I use to have lots of companion plants but verbenas are the hardest for our British weather, they self seed all over the garden.

[@georgekanenas1916]

Beautiful garden and video, really enjoyed! How far apart should i plant my DA roses?

[@kenvoong5977]

Thank you 🙏 I would recommend planting them at least 3 feet apart if you have the space , mine are very close together due the small area that I have.

Hello Ken! Im just now finding your channel but quickly became a subscriber. I absolutely adore your channel and catching up on some of your videos today. I wanted to ask a question? So I hope you see my comment....can you tell me what zone you're in and how much sunlight your David Austin roses get per day? I have ordered literally 13 roses this year from the David Austin website (I live in the USA zone 8a) and I have a lot of dappled shade areas that do get a good bit of morning sun on one side of my property and the other side gets about 6 hours of full sun with shady areas. Do you think David Austins would do good in the dappled shade areas? I noticed some of the species I ordered it says they will survive in part shade. Are any of yours in part shade? Thank you in advance for any information, I certainly appreciate it and will be visiting your channel very often now that I've found you! ❤

[@kenvoong5977]

Yes I just saw your other comment regarding partial shaded area in your garden. I have added another few more da roses this year and they’re going to be grown in pots in an area that only get few hours morning sun. Let’s see how they perform later in the year. So far I have found few which can thrive in partial shade in one of my videos. Good luck 😉 Ps By the way, which ones have you ordered ?

Love seeing your beautiful roses Ken and you have a wonderful sense of humour. I think if I worked in a coffee shop I'd be pouring it over any rude customers and I also think my neighbours think I'm mad as I'm often out watering my pots when it's raining! My Olivia is in a pot and I've been so pleased with it as it's not stopped blooming and has no blackspot. Lady of Shalott has also done well for me too. Grace is a new rose this year so early days for it. Hope it'll look as good as yours. Did you go to Kew with your sister? The cakes looked amazing.

[@kenvoong5977]

Thank you Wendy 😊 my sister and her other half went without me( darn). Just as well because she’d worried I might start digging up some of there roses in the garden 😢Unfortunately I had the displeasure sitting in the garden under the pergola watching all my rose get soaked. And we’re both on par, certainly both on borderline of madness but in a good way.

Beautiful garden. My Lady of Shalott seems to be a blackspot magnet but it is a beautiful color. I have over 60 roses and probably at least half are DAs. My garden is fairly young. I look forward to when my roses display like yours. Just curious, how do you feed them?

[@kenvoong5977]

Thank you 🙏 no one rose is the same unfortunately, often it’s down to pruning, location and how we all feed our roses. Black spot are our most common and worst enemy, if left alone it certainly would stunt the growth and ability to bloom. As a rosé grower we all feed our roses twice a year with slow release. All my potted rose are fed with liquid fertiliser on a regular basis because potted roses needs more care and attention compared to roses that are in the ground.

Your roses are just amazing, i'm surprised how healthy they look considering our shitty summer this year! in my experience new Dannahue and Penelope are great repeaters. Golden celebration and Queen of Sweden repeat continuesly in my garden. Boscobel and Lady of Shalott are up there too.

[@kenvoong5977]

Thank you vorong. My golden celebration is is good repeater, as it’s in quite a shady spot and never dose as good as ones in full sun. My queen of Sweden is in prime sunny location and very likely can compare to yours. Dannahue and Penelope could be amongst the list next year as these are far too young at their early stages of development.

My Boscobel and Queen of Sweden haven't borne a flower for weeks! I suppose it's different situations and local climates. Interesting to see other experiences.

Hi thank you for the detailed video of your rose garden again. Sorry to bother you with a non rose related enquiry. What Eryngium is that in your garden? I am interested in companion plating for my roses and see that yours are quite good. I already have Japanese anemone and Eryngium has that similar wiry effect which I want in my mixed border. 🙏

[@kenvoong5977]

Hi carmen,sorry remember which variety they are. They are good companion plant to go with roses but these are often very floppy and tend to fall over. Verbenas are you best option. This will almost have the same effect and more upright, plus they self seed easily.

[@kenvoong5977]

Digitalis also know as fox glove are another to consider as these will tower above your rose border adding different structure amongst your roses, again these also will self seed giving free plants every year.
