After all these years, you have immensely educated us about planting tips, ideas, and how to grow chemical-free roses. I was so intrigued when I witnessed all these beauties right before my eyes when I visited you recently. This is heaven on earth. I am also so happy about how much your KZbin has grown within these years. Thank you for yet another wonderful sharing from Merseyside, Rainhill.

Darren, you are the one who inspired me to buy Jude the Obscure Rose a few years ago. I got her in the USA the last year she was available! Until I watched your review on her, I knew nothing about David Austin English roses. And now I have at least 25 varieties in my garden. Thank you for spreading your knowledge and love of roses to us! You brighten this world!!

Your garden is looking very full and lovely. What a beautiful job you've done with your planting combinations. ❤ Love the variety! Jude the Obscure is breathtaking. I wish I could sniff with you!!! I'm so happy you are organic and don't spray. I do the same and love our pollinators. 🐝

10:24 "... not that great of a gardener..??" Ha! Your plants all look great to me. Plus, not only roses, but delphiniums, lupines, spring blooming bulbs, you have all of the bases covered.💚💚 Two green hearts for you! 12:14 photosynthesis, too many sibilants in the word LOL! 13:14 Oh! Nicely cupped! I love that old vintage form. I think that the cupped form derives from gallica ancestors. 13:50 Off for a David Austin rose to not posess fragrance because David Austin demanded fragrance, lots of it. Perhaps the plant's "perfume factory" has not yet come online? Or perhaps those remaining at Austin are loding David's vision? Stuffed to the gills with petals, just they way that I like. I think that we are growing glorious freaks that never existed in nature, recessive genetics coaxed out out more rugged dominant genetics? Cornus, so it is a dogwood species! So it should be a good neighbor and not become so large as to crowd all else out of existence. 16:50 Lime green, the color of springtime before the leaves on trees become opaque, they are thin and our half mile long road gos through a tunnel of 50 feet tall trees, springtime, when the leaves are thin and lime green, the very air/atmosphere radiates green. Springtime, my absolute favorite time of year, beauty and frgrance everywhere, wild growing Russian olives with their essential oil of bay leaf scent that carries long distance, honeysuckle, apple blossoms, all exhaling their own beautiful, ethereal, scents. I hope that in heaven it is perpetual springtime, and happt songbirds by the millions. Your lime green comment was the first domino that set off many memories. Forever springtime in my mind, even while trudging through arctic cold snowdrifts, snow creaking underfoot, in my mind's eye , in my olefactory memory it is springtime. 17:16 I prefer the lime green, it radiates youth, vigor, springtime, yellow leaves suggest autumn, diminishing strength and vigor. 18:09 Here in Ohio, I have never seen ground elder, we have other afflictions that you likely do not, like "japanese" beetles that descend on the roses en mass and in one afternoon totally shred the blooms. Well, alas, I have rambled on to create another chapter in a book. Past 11:30 at night here in Ohio. Signing off, back tomorrow. Torrential rain drove me out of the garden late afternoon, so my cabbages etc. are swelling up!

Fabulous Darren. I'm currently on the first day of our family summer holiday. Yesterday I had to do the heart breaking, yearly😮 task of dead heading every rose (as well as annual and perennials) even those at perfection. So that when I get home in a couple of weeks, all will be good and not look like an explosion in a confetti factory.

Hi Darren your garden is beautiful as ever! Two plants I have with a lovely fragrance are "heliotropium" or the cherry pie plant which smells just like freshly baked cherry pie! And "nemesia 'Wisley vanilla' which when the sun shines on it...well you can smell its gorgeous vanilla scent from meters away. You can get em both in most garden centres & if not online. Love your videos, your enthusiasm for gardening for a young man is amazing. Keep up the great work! 👍

The little pale yellow plant near the pond is Pale Yelloweyed Grass. I discover some in my new garden this spring and I fell in love with it. I was warned that it can spread easily, but I think I don’t mind. So pretty. Thank you for sharing your lovely garden.

You garden looks absolutely beautiful and full this year ❤ In NE USA we started spring with constant rain and then since May it has been high humidity and heat in high 80’s, 90’s with not much rain. There has been black spot earlier than normal here too. I have had rust also for the first time ever this year too. 🤔 So fun to see your selection of plants and transformation over time. Gardens are constantly changing and that makes it fun to explore to see what surprise is there today.

Darren, the name of the mysterious plant at 6.26 is Eryngium foetidum, a tropical perennial herb in the family Apiaceae. Common names include culantro (or), recao, chadon beni (pronounced shadow benny), Mexican coriander, bhandhania, long coriander, sawtooth coriander, and ngò gai. It is native to Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America, but is cultivated worldwide, mostly in the tropics as a perennial, but sometimes in temperate climates as an annual. In the United States, the common name culantro sometimes causes confusion with cilantro, a common name for the leaves of Coriandrum sativum.

Soooo beautiful😍 thank you for this beautiful tour. I can imagine how beautifully scented your garden is and thank you for sharing the name of your highly scented dianthus 'scented memories' 🥰 I will need to get one. I have 2 dianthus already called pink kisses, so hopefully together the scent will be amazing! :) I echo the banana peels my neighbour told me about this 2-3 months ago? her roses are beautiful all the time when in bloom and when I tried with my roses, I swear it's like a magic! I could see the difference after just days. I love your rose arch too🥰. Happy gardening💝🙂 Maggie x

I just discovered your channel Darren and subscribed. I garden in the US in Frankfort, Kentucky which is US growing zone 6B. Your garden is absolutely stunning. I grow David Austin roses in the border and in pots. I'm dealing with blackspot issues as well. We have been in a heatwave/drought in my state. However, we are expecting some much-needed rain over the next two days. I am going to try your suggestion of using banana peels in water to try and help my roses that suffered some during our recent heatwave. Take care and happy gardening, James

4:13 Dianthus Scented Memories, I shall try to get seeds immediately because the summer solstice has just passed, I have been contemplating what biennials/perennials to plant in pots this summer in order to bloom next summer. So, Thank you for the informarion about Scented Memories. I was looking at various dianthus types, undecided, so I think that Scented Memories and some type of bicolor pink will be a good look/scent for next summer. A proper garden must be thought out and action taken a year in advance, failure to do so leaves us with commercial mediocrities to plant here in Ohio. Yes, wonderful clove scent. Also, I spent a lot of time searching for the perfect tri color pansy seeds to plant. Hmmm, fascinating, banana peels, high in potassium, not in salt form, but in bio available form. LONG video, I shall have to watch it over several evenings. 6:33 Your "weed", it looks like wormseed, a potent anti parasite herb. drag the leaves through your hand, if it has a pungent, strange "mawkish" odor , then it is wormseed and should be cut when it begins to form it's inconspicuous flowers, dried and used as an herb. I know it as Chenopodium ambrosioides but the name has changed, it really looks exactly like wormseed. Perhaps Scented Memories will not come true from seeds because I can find none available. I see many plants but no seeds. 10:00 I myself garden on a grand scale, but remember many apartment bound people watch you videos longing to be able to do what you do. So your experiences with roses in pots may be encouraging to that sort of viewer. We must every day attempt to see the other person's point of view and not our own point of view.💚💚💚 Enough for tonight, back in 24 hours!

19:10 Foxgloves and delphiniums still looking lovely, the summer heat here in Ohio has "roasted" mine. 20:14 Yes, my Conca D'Or lily, taller than I am is just now opening it's large trumpet blooms exhaling it's wonderful floral/camphor scent into the night air. You planted the right sort of lily, fragrant orientals instead of brilliantly colored asiatics....... You MUST get yourself 3 Conca D'Or lilies planted in a group, they are absolutely stunning. 31:49, Yes, my Francois Rabellait has lost nearly all of it's leves to blackspot the past 2 weeks, but it shall grow back, it always does. 37:09 scrub her with sodium sulphite solution, it will render iron and other metallic stains colorless and rinse them away. The sulphur component will not harm your plants, the sodium element is best kept away from plants.

Thanks for your time with your inspired video Darren. A couple of suggestions to help you along the merry way. With regard to that disfiguring blackspot which is rampant up and down the land in this era of wet seasons (and the more roses you grow cheek-by-jowl, the more you will see BS over time sadly) why not try the tip from that highly respected gardener, Sarah Raven of Perch Hill, and underplant (if you can generate space) your infected roses with small-leaved Salvias which release puffs of anti-fungal aroma as you brush by. The video is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q33Jq4JjlMl2eNE With regard to your stunning Liquidambar, do crush a leaf or two as the season progresses before the spectacular leaf fall. Imbibe the resinous parfuma! Can you smell her? (Not so sure about the gender, but I don't think plants have caught up with the current PC climate.) If you have room for another fragrantly-leaved tree with superb Autumn colour, look out for a fastigiate Cercidiphyllum japonicum (aka The Candy Floss Tree, or The Toffee Apple Tree). One for a big deep pot with acidic compost on your patio, close to where you chill out with your caramel latte. For luminescent dahlias - do check out two award-winning stunners from the Hillcrest Series - 'Hillcrest Royal' & 'Hillcrest Candy'. You won't be disappointed. Enjoy the day, your beautiful garden, and its scent. Best wishes from East Yorkshire.
