Earliest Roses to Bloom Tour

[@judymckerrow6720]

Thank you Jason for showing us the beautiful blooms in your garden. 💐💚🙃

[@ThatMan-h3q]

Your the reason I started Rose gardening! I now have over 50 different species of roses, and I'm about to create a business.

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Wow - so happy to hear it! Best wishes on your rose business!

[@kimb.2883]

I enjoyed seeing the early bloomers, so pretty. 🌹

[@FireflyOnTheMoon]

I wanted to thank you for the Buff Beauty recomm in previous videos. I have put in four and am training them as climbers. This is their first bloom year and I love them. They are "Jason's roses" in my small London garden. I'm delighted.

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

I'm so happy you're enjoying it! Definitely one of my favorites, and not widely grown here

[@rhondavanmeter5015]

Great to see you, Jason! Living vicariously through your tour. I moved in the fall and am missing my gardens!

[@gardentours]

Beautiful roses 🌹 🥀🌱👍

[@donnamack6797]

My Stanwell Perpetual has exploded with about 200 flowers. I have it in front of a paperback maple. It's over 6 feet tall and sprawls sideways. My other blooming rose is the centifolia Burgundian rose from before 1664. I have two. They took three years to bloom but were worth them wait!

[@TeresaByington]

Beautiful! Prairie Peace is stunning. I’ve never heard of it before! We are getting a few blooms here in the Midwest. It’s at least 2.5 weeks earlier than we typically see !

[@katemaria1]

Thanks for including your flowering shrubs and trees 🙂

[@blueberrypieology3088]

You’re such a natural educator, I always learn something from your videos, even when you are just sharing your first blooming roses. Thank you.

[@carmenbailey1560]

Beautiful grounds, your roses are exceptional beauties. Thank you for sharing with us. 👍❤️🙂

[@HomeSweetHomewithKaren]

Prairie Peace is gorgeous!

[@HoustonKeith72]

Good to see you Jason! Things are looking good!

[@victoria-louisevalois1323]

Thanks so much for the p ure joy!

[@gwbuilder5779]

Looking good Jason.👌 This year has been a tough one here, extremely dry, but fortunately got a great rain this past week, filling the water tanks and giving all of the plants a good soaking. So far haven't lost any plants, but it sure was a bit dire. All the fun of living in the high desert. I find it remarkably amazing just how resilient so many plants really are. Glad to see your damaged roses surviving.🤙

[@scallywags12]

So nice to see early your rose bloom! My Blanc d Colbert and Hansa roses are in bloom too!

[@MyFocusVaries]

It's amazing to see roses blooming so early in our season! We had to move a lot of plants last season, and oddly, the rose that lived half the summer in a pot then was replanted in the heat if summer did fine this winter. The rose that was in ground all year in a good sheltered spot had one live branch this spring, and that branch is now looking sickly 😢. Looks like I need a trip out to your farm for another rose....or two.

[@jamesdickens1812]

Stanwell perpetual looks so healthy on your farm! Where I live in the UK it is BY FAR my unhealthiest rose.

[@smedina146]

Wow Jason! What a wonderful mini tour. I've written a few down that MUST come to love with me here in Western Washington State(Lakewood, just south of Seattle, 8b.) excellent info. Blessings 💛🖤💛 Stacy

[@jennifergreene8891]

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing Jason 😊

[@valeriezendiver263]

Beautiful flowers, beautiful grounds. Thanks for the tour!

[@irisjanemay1903]

Most of my Austins die back to the ground each year. Last year we got to 20 below ferhenheit. This winter it only got down to 10 F and some stems didn't die back. I was very happy. It doesn't seem to bother them much. They just can't grow as big.

[@Growing-Our-Retirement]

Beautiful!!! So great that Spring is here!

[@geraldinefields1730]

Beautiful. Thank you.

[@camicri4263]

Beautiful roses Jason, thank you! Blessings!

[@priyanthesamankumara9064]

Beautiful rose garden.

[@Tim.Stotelmeyer]

The first rose to bloom for me is the mail order Kazanlik Damask that I got 3 weeks ago. It is a small bloom on a small rose plant that was probably rooted last year.

[@kathystarnes6744]

Love your roses and the great information you share. Thank you!❤️

[@ClickinChicken]

Thanks Jason, priority list, dose them with Miracle Grow in solution, for roses! My Rugosa roses line! Nothing could be easier! it happens if you make an effort! Thanks again!

[@ClickinChicken]

Done Jason. X4 trips 2.5 gallons each. 1.5 table spoons each bucket. Miracle grow flower food.

[@agb0012000]

I have an old rose bush that so has life on one side, but it looks diseased on the leaves. I dug it out and tossed it, but after looking at your video, I’m wondering if I should nurse it back to health.

[@shkhan8016]

I really enjoy your videos, they are very informative. I have mosaic virus problem in my garden bed, and plants growth are not as good.I don't want to remove those plant. Is there any treatment for that.

[@krispy3681]

I have a full basement fish room. I already grow a variety of lillies in my aquariums. Roses, yup, roses are next on my list to grow... I use almost all red/white lighting, there is some blue here and there, but im not a fan of them.... Its bright, stays 65% + on humidity. 12 on 12 off lighting... I bet if i get the right substrate i can grow roses in planter boxes. On my aquariums....

[@Mindy-s-channel]

My early bloomer is a proven winner variety own root rose called reminiscent pink. It's stunning and less prone to pests compared to my other roses. Japanese beatles even leave it alone

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Very nice! And when I looked up the breeding, I learned something new: it's from a breeding program in Serbia, and it looks like she's hybridized quite a lot! I wonder how many make their way into the North American market.

[@Mindy-s-channel]

@@FraserValleyRoseFarm I absolutely love it. I’ll be doing a little KZbin short on it in just a little bit.

[@theunretireddesigner6448]

Here in Edmonton our gardens are just waking up. I got so much inspiration from your video andI hope to someday come visit. I was wondering, what was the iris in the foreground when you were showing the horse chestnut?

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Thanks so much. I believe the cultivar was 'Papilion'

[@Nonameoo1835]

Great presentation,thanks for sharing. Can these hardy roses from zone 3 n 4 grow well in zone 6?

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

You bet. The lower zone number is extra hardiness in case you have a particularly cold winter.

[@joecamenzuli6979]

I watched some of your interesting rose videos which made me try my hand to plant roses. I am a newbie at this and want to know what type and mix of potting medium you use for roses.

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

I usually pot into a custom blend made from forestry products (bark, shredded wood) and perlite - it's not something I can recommend by name because it's a local bulk supplier. Something like ProMix BX or HP would work fine

[@joecamenzuli6979]

@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Thanks for reply

[@helenmansuy2169]

Hello, I, too, echo my appreciation of your videos. Do you ship dry root roses to Saskatchewan? I have such a difficult time finding roses here at our local greenhouses.

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

No, we don't sell bare root, but we do ship smaller potted roses sold on the website in February & March (for shipping in spring)

[@biancas.6283]

How can I identify the varieties of roses I have in my garden? They are all propagations - cut and planted over the years from friends' and neighbours' gardens.. both bushes and climbers. Thank you for your informative videos!😊

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

It's a tough thing to correctly ID "mystery" roses - and I discuss the issue in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/op-ZqH-Vq7B1fLs If you do have some idea of provenance (where the cuttings came from) you could put a little effort into investigating that way as well. Best of luck!

[@biancas.6283]

@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Thanks for replying and for the link, I'll check it out!😊

[@hibbs1712]

Hi! I love your videos and have binged a few now :) as a growing horticulturalist myself, do you think that getting a job in the Weed Cultivation industry while in school for Horticulture is a good idea?? Family-owned nurseries near me are near impossible to get into. Will the experience gained be transmutable and respected in other areas of the horticulture field??

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

I'd say it's a good crop to look into for employment, but just be aware also that it has ups and downs just like any other part of the industry. Here in Canada the cannabis companies went on a hiring & expansion frenzy after legalization - with good paying jobs! When the financial results didn't materialize, a lot of good people lost their jobs. That said, and in line with your question: yes, the experience translates well and I've run into many of those previous cannabis folks in other horticulture jobs.

[@diannedolha2318]

Hi Jason, I mentioned I had the Polar Star white climber in Calgary (zone 3b/4a). It is 30 or more years old, but this spring it is looking like the very large branches might be dead. There is some sprouts at the bottom 12" of a couple of them. Newer branches coming from the base are still green and starting to leaf out. Question: I will wait a few more weeks, but will I be able to cut back the 3-4 major dead branches down to new growth, or do only 1 to reduce stress (my husband's suggestion), or should I wait until dormant again? Like I said, just barely starting to push out leaves (which is a bit later for this rose). Thanks if you can help.

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

So long as you're seeing strong new shoot growth, you have a pretty free hand on an old shrub like this, so I'd probably take the brave cuts all at once and then it has the rest of the warm season to recover.

[@diannedolha2318]

@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Thank you for your input, much appreciated. I'll share an update later in the summer.

[@Lea-zf7lm]

Thank you. That was lovely and gives me hope ours will bloom soon lol Is the Prairie Peace related to Prairie Joy?

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

No, not closely I don't think

[@Tibetan2]

Hi Jason, I’m so disappointed that my rose appears to have rose rosette. It had been blooming beautifully before red witches brooms started shooting straight up from the center. Is there any way to save a rose once this terrible disease sets in?

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

No, it's incurable. The witches broom is a pretty distinctive characteristic, but I'd be remiss in not reminding viewers that there are some other causes to discoloration and distortion on new growth (spray drift from the herbicide 2,4-D comes to mind). I trust that you'll be as certain as you need to be before making the call, but the only real call if confirmed is removal.

[@ayumudiasih1589]

Hi Jason my name is Ayu and I’m new comer in the Rose growing world, I leave in a country with a very hush weather, it’s hot year round and sometimes the heat can be up to 40 degree Celsius, I recently bought 9 roses plants, I think I’m over excited, I have a very small garden, I am planning to put them two in my room Balcony which is shade with indirect sunlight, while in my garden the direct sunlight is full day from 7am to 7pm and can be very hot. So far I am able to grow 4 plants previously but they are quite skinny. Would you be able to share some tips for us in a much more hotter weather without cold season at all please. Tqvm

[@justafig]

Jason, Nice tour the only rose bush here getting ready to bloom is DoubleDelight. How do I get my English lavender rooted cuttings to fill out the container more? I used Osmocote.

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Just time, good conditions and some pinching to encourage bushiness

[@justafig]

​@FraserValleyRoseFarm If they only grew as quickly as they rooted.

[@threadbarerag336]

Lovely. I have some mini tea roses that were killed to the ground by Seattle's 13 degree days this last summer. They recovered. I did lose many of my uncommon or rare plants such as Allium forrestii. It was the one surviving seed grown out of 5. I won't tell your the whole story but when I but this back into a gallon pot in 2011 (evil lawn grass problems), it grew multiple flowers and I even separated it. Two gallon pots were full of this plant. No seeds. Maybe it needed a certain bug or maybe it needed two separate genetics to set seed. That hurts. Hard to find.

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

I feel your pain!

[@Rkcuddles]

Jason help! It rained here in the north west for like 2 weeks. Now there is black mold all over some of the roses. Should I just strip them down of all leaves and let them reset?

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Sounds like a decent plan - this early in the season they'll replace those leaves in a hurry

[@winniepenafiel6739]

good afternoon.. where is your farm located? in the US?

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

No, we're just north of the border in Canada, near Vancouver.

[@lenabrustad305]

Is that Prairie Peace or Prairie Magic. Those are two different roses right?

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

I don't know Prairie Magic, but this one is Prairie Peace by the breeder Robert Erskine.

[@annbrodzinski5707]

I totally understand if you cant answer this considering the abundance of rose plants you own..but.. it would be GREATLY appreciated if you tried 😊 Top 10 or 15 roses on your farm?? Just in your opinion. Love the videos! I was thinking of ither adding the pilgrim, James Galway or kiss me kate.. how did your kiss me kate do this year sir? Ok im done.. haha 😊

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Thanks. I'll note it down as a topic for a video. Kiss Me Kate was a little slow to get going, but nice by the end of season. Love the Pilgrim.

[@annbrodzinski5707]

@FraserValleyRoseFarm thankyou much for the response, I'll be looking forward to that video 🙂 How does the Pilgrim repeat for you?? I did buy it. On heirlooms website says a continual bloomer but I've heard mixed reviews.. I guess it would depend upon different climates on how the rose performs.

[@annbrodzinski5707]

​@FraserValleyRoseFarm how well does pilgrim repeat for you?

[@lieslfeldman1725]

I'm a spoiled girl and don't even consider single blooming roses. My White Ice Burg is a solid mass of bloom now and with dead heading will repeat all summer. I did like those roses you showed us though. Especially the miniatures.

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Definitely something to be said for repeat blooming. The rugosas tick all the boxes (early, repeat, good fragrance, large hips) but they're just not my favorite for flower form

[@bradcarby3765]

No "Geoff Hamilton" yet? I wait with anticipation.

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Lol. You'll be the first to know

[@mike1968442]

How can Canada be in zone 8?

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Pacific coast. Think Seattle

[@mike1968442]

I’m from Michigan originally and that was were I was thinking. Ugh, I’m now in Pennsylvania and only 6b and more southern. I’m trying so hard to get to zone 9. I love the heat! Thanks for the quick response.

[@barbarawissinger]

The absolute first were the Rosa rugosa. Of the proper roses, it was Rhapsody in Blue.

[@bri0013]

Jason, I wanted to ask since you've been at this awhile. Do you happen to notice blooms that coincide with the "New Moon" of any circumstance? Certainl varieties possible ?!

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

It's nothing I've been watching for - and I do see the rose blooming cycles time themselves pretty tightly to temperature (degree days) and of course from the last pruning/deadheading.
