Thank you so much for the excellent video. It is so useful to the new rose gardener

[@thfpnw7103]

This is such an excellent video on DA roses. I love the comments on putting the rabbits at bay. They are such a nuisance for gardeners. Also, hilarious comment on royalty. My favorite thing about DA roses is the scent, especially the ones with a strong myrrh fragrance.

Glad it was helpful!

I have the Distant Drum rose and do find it really easy to use in bouquets. It also has terrific foliage and health.

[@heidiroycroft9465]

It does have wicked thorns though.

[@ucscagroecology]

Distant Drums is a lovely rose, too! Good luck with your roses!

❤❤❤hugeee....blooms😊l think the climate of Santa Cruz at 800ft of elevation is just perfect for growing David Austin's roses similar to its native England's weather😊❤ Beautiful!

"Some are more than okay." 🤣 "Dirty dish water brown" - He's hilarious! The royalty comment just put me over the edge. Subbed! Lol! He's too funny.

I enjoyed the talk and the roses, I read books on English roses your knowledge on DA varieties is helpful

[@franszymanek8695]

Loved your video and your frank discussion about the various DA rose specimens you featured. Keep them coming! (Maybe do one on pruning.) Looking forward to more!

[@ucscagroecology]

Good evening from Germany, though not my native country. I wanted to watch something, anything that relax me while I am having dinner and youtube brought you(r channel) before me and well, I opted for; and I was quite captivated by you(r nature). After dinner was over, I decided to browse in your channel. Interesting. Exactly my kind of interests. I am very pleased I have decided to dinner with you. ☺

[@ucscagroecology]

Wow, thank you

[@K.KleopatraK.]

@@ucscagroecology Well, I too am sometimes surprised (wow! 🙄) when someone not only notices the particular qualities I possess, but also expresses them out loud, just as I love to do too. Makes the world feel greater knowing that there are still some sensitive people out there.. 🤧☺ Good thoughts must always be expressed. 😉 Have a great time!

THATS THE ROSE 💜

[@darbi1868]

I love the buttery yellow of Graham Stewart Thomas but it seems to have been discontinued. I have not been able to find it for sale for several years now. Such a shame.

[@SpiritStoneSilverRoses]

If you are in the US- Rose Petals Nursery frequently has this rose in Stock. I think it is in stock right now. They ship.

[@darbi1868]

@@SpiritStoneSilverRoses Oh thank you, I’ll check them out.

Favourite fragrance so far is Munstead Wood, beautiful old rose scent but now discontinued unfortunately. Just planted Desdemona and Gertrude Jekyll

[@ucscagroecology]

Thanks for sharing! David Austin website has Munstead for sale online: www.davidaustinroses.com/products/munstead-wood

[@llgibson1]

@@ucscagroecology that’s good to know. I guess it’s discontinued in the UK only. I’m in Canada and I can’t order from most US websites anymore…
