These Roses Deserve a Spot in my Garden!

How do I decide which roses are worth a try in my garden? With many centuries of roses in cultivation, I'll have to give fair consideration to each of the classes. Here I go through some of the important breeding roses and famous garden roses I've added to the farm so far. Not that I'm making excuses, but many of these are young plants, and they won't represent the best garden performance for the variety. As the garden grows in, I'll add newer (and 4k) footage to the channel to show their full potential.
If you wanted to have a peak at the list what what's in the ground on the farm as of 2023, here's the link: www.fraservall...

I don't mind these interesting videos being five hours long as long as there are TIME STAMPS. Too few youtubers use them. Time stamps are indispensible when trying to find certain information after a while from first watching the video.

I live a a small farm in rural Oklahoma and don’t venture out much. Normally I only see roses in catalogs. Seeing them on your farm shows what they’re really like. I depend on videos like this to help learn and of course shop! I bought 10 roses from High Country Roses in CO this morning. Had I watched this video first my order would have been slightly different. Thank you so much Jason!❤

[@marmaladesunrise]

Jason, it seems you've mentioned that you are in USDA zone 8 before. But that really surprised me this time, as I live in Dallas/ Ft. Worth area of Texas, and I'm in zone 8, too. The roses you grow are fascinating. If more people were exposed to them, their hardiness and amazing fragrances, I believe they would have them in their spaces. My 'Autumn Damask' was a paler pink, as you mentioned. Have you tried growing 'Mme Isaac Pereire'? The fragrance is like the Damask rose with raspberry. 'Maggie' is a Bourbon Rose with a very strong raspberry fragrance, too. It does get blackspot, but it is so worth growing none the less. It is an absolute joy to see your Old Garden Roses. Please keep featuring them. They are wonderful, Jason. You could talk for hours about these roses and not bore me, Jason..

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Thanks so much. I really do hope it's the true autumn damask (if such a thing can even be said reliably!) I added Mme Isaac this year I think, but haven't seen it bloom yet.

[@marmaladesunrise]

@FraserValleyRoseFarm You WILL LOVE IT. It's quartered, deep coral pink and smells WONDERFUL. They call it a pegging rose, which I think is perfect.

[@debbiewilson6527]

Hi I'm little west of Fort Worth... I distilled rose water from Mme Isaac Perierre. I have a one year of Autumn Damask and another one,Kazanlik which I will use this year.

[@louesparza8003]

I am just south of DFW and have watched your programs for years. I have several Maggies. They're great. My favorite pink that I can't get enough of is floribunda Else Poulsen. Wondering if you have ever had it? I also have her parent Betty Prior. The china Archduke Charles is almost never out of bloom - I love the color changes, and all the chinas do well here. Very impresive for me is Climbing Pinkie. I'm considering Beverly (Eleganza) because I hear such wonderful things about her. Spice blooms prolifically on a beautifully shaped bush. These are just a few of my favorites. Loved the walk through your roses.

You mention that you think that one of the parents of Champneys Pink Cluster was maybe a multiflora. It was not a multiflora. Champneys Pink Cluster was bred by using Old Blush and the Musk rose, Rosa moschata. Also, on a side note, Blush Noisette and Champneys Pink Cluster are two distinct roses. Blush Noisette is a seedling of Champneys Pink Cluster and was sent over to France.

Hi Jason Your videos are amazing. They really introduced me to the old roses world. I am Syrian, moved to the UK 13 years ago. I have Quatre season and Compte de chambord and I smelled Kazanlik in Peters Beales garde. None of these smell near the strength and perfumy nature of the damask rose in my country! Quatre season here has additional rasin smell mixed with the damask! and i agree it doesnot look like wjat you bought as autumn Damask. Your Autumn damask looks closer in rose colour and leaves to the repeating damask rose I bought in Damascus!

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Thanks Khaled. A lot of these similar Damask relatives travel under different names, so I may never be sure of a true identity. Ancient Persia covered that whole region, and was, so far as I can tell, the introducer of the Damask roses into Egypt and Rome (from origins further east on the silk road, I'm told). Imagine how much history there must be in the cultivars still in Syria and surrounding areas!

I ordered a Therese Bugnet rose through Jackson & Perkins. I hope to see it bloom this year. It is my first and only rose purchase being in zone 5. I think that is what the charts say, but I don't believe them. It was mailed to me more than a month ago, bare root, and it was much too early. We still had our winter snow and frozen ground. Everyone here only plants on June first. I put it into a bucket of water for 24 hours and planted it in a pot. Now it is in the ground outside. It seems to not mind all the crazy Alaska weather such as below freezing night temperatures, rain and overcast, strong winds for days at a time and to top it off the thermometer on my balcony hit 90 degrees today. You asked for viewers to let you hear from them to ask what they would like you to feature. If you have my rose it would be nice to see how large it will become. Thank you.

I adore Paul Neyron, one of mine favourite roses with Baron Girod de lAin, but I am in a big problems with his pruning, thinking of just let it grow option. Last year I planted Alfred Colomb another hybrid perpetual. How to prune this beauties? My Julia Child and Hot Cocoa are coming this week 😍. Big Purple is fantastic tea hybrid.I am so lucky that I bought it in my local nursery, but I am so stupid to let Mme Hardy run from stock before I bought her. And I've got Souvenir du dr Jamain 🤩.

[@graceteshima]

Divine. Thank you so much!

[@wisdomtree9911]

Jason, I have a few mature Ispahan roses. When you say the best time to prune them is after flowering, the issue I have with that is that they continue growing from the cut point and reach up to 8 ft by the end of summer. Should I keep pruning them back to the original cut? And should I then prune them again in early spring? I live near London, UK, to give you an idea of the climate. BTW, your videos provide a wealth of knowledge!

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Thanks. I've seen that some of these can be difficult to keep at a reasonable size in a mild climate. Mine are still young enough that I'll have to leave room to update my recommendations in future years. The wood that grows, matures and hardens after your late-spring pruning is the primary flowering wood for the following year, so later pruning costs flowers. I'm going to try to prune once as hard as I need to, and then let it grow out - only taking back any stems that are so long or poorly supported that I think they'll be lost to winter wind damage anyway.

Great video Jason and love the recommendations - only because we clearly have much the same view on roses as I have all but 4 of those listed amongst my gardens. I grow Tuecany Superb as a climber and have the stems trained over the doorway of an outbuilding in a relatively sun-free part of the garden - it does incredibly well with the lax stems covered in flowers - great rose for a difficult site. Rose de Rescht I love as a garden display - of the Portland roses always think it has the best regular shape - always tidy but not great as a cut flower as all the petals drop at once! Comte de Chambord is my favourite for fragrance, Jacques Cartier for being tough as old boots and prolific. Again lovely choice of worthy roses.

[@FireflyOnTheMoon]

Thanks Jason. That's a good overview. I have put in three Buff Beauty on the basis of your recomm.

[@KatesGarden]

That’s a lot of beautiful roses 👍 My favourites are usually the semi doubles. My impression has been that’s a difficult category to define or that definitions vary. (I see it as a fuller flower than a single that still has a good sized center. something for me and something for the pollinators 😄) Seems like the best of both options. Do semi doubles have any popularity? Thanks for sharing

Thanks. I generally don't trim back much at transplant if the plants aren't too large to handle. There may be a little die-back (transplant shock) but no big deal - let it play out and then prune later. I haven't added Village Maid to my collection yet, but it's on the wish list!

It can be varietal, in which case there's nothing much to do except live with it or replace those roses. Other times is just for lack of sturdy growth - and your checklist to improve growth: full sun, decent soil, regular watering, judicious pruning (thinning especially) and feeding as needed.

Hi Jason, surprised you didn't include hardy rugosas in this video or the fertile species itself for its strong and unique clove fragrance. Keep in mind that crossing rugosas with tender varieties is bound to compromise cane hardiness in the offspring; Rugelda is an example. Crossing rugosas with r. chinensis was a 10 year futile endeavour that was dropped by Svejda for good reason. r. kordesii isn't cane hardy in the Ottawa area, suffering dieback above the snowline. It originates from a country (Germany) with a coastal climate far removed from the freezing rain received by the Nation's capital; the reason it was used in greenhouse breeding by Felicitas Svejda in her creation of the Agriculture Canada roses. Rosa kordessi may be an excellent seed parent but requires winter protection for outdoor plantation when it comes to harsh winter climates. Given that you're growing roses on the temperate coast, it all comes down to what zone and climate you're actually breeding for.

Thanks Mickey. I do have quite a few rugosas in the collection - not left off intentionally, but more just a sideline topic that I didn't have footage for at the time of editing

[@Thunderbird68-i2f]

@@FraserValleyRoseFarm When time permits, it would be nice indeed if you could make a video of the rugosa and/or hybrid rugosa cultivars in your collection. I'd love to see them. 🌹

Beautiful roses!!! By the way, do you have problem with thrips? I live in Malaysia, hot, humid & wet. I have to spray my roses with organic insecticide at least once a week, otherwise my roses will be attacked by thrips and I don’t have beautiful blooms & the leaves looked burnt..😢

[@FireflyOnTheMoon]

probably better to grow a plant better suited to your environment

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

We do get some thrips damage in late summer, but I know that other regions have it much worse.

[@HinaMunnee]

Do hybrid tea and white polyantha roses survive a hard freeze?

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Depends on the rose and the "hardness" of the freeze. Most will withstand a few degrees below freezing for a short duration, but may suffer some die-back if they get a longer or deeper cold while in active growth

[@mariafolch8067]

⚘ If you live in zone 8, how can you grow roses from zones 3 & 4?

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

The zone hardiness works like this: a zone 3 rose is hardy enough for zones as low as 3 (down to -40 degrees) and that makes it plenty hardy to survive milder climates like mine. You can always read cold hardiness zone rating on a plant like "zone x or higher".

[@user-ps6un5jk4x]

Please visit the southeast USA 8b in August and tell me we're the same 😂

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Lol. Only insofar as winter hardiness. Summer is a whole different ballgame.

[@trishrestante3865]

Hi Jason Are your roses on their own roots of grafted?

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

I produce own-root from cuttings. Some of these varieties are grafted because that's how they were available when I bought them

[@animeverse774]

In India English roses grown from cutting can't handle temparature of 40 degree Celsius??

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Some may not be the best choice for those temps. There are Indian bred roses that might be more appropriate

[@drewburton8129]

Will you have Peace roses for sale in your store this spring?

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

I'm not 100% sure at this point. We still need to see how everything did over winter.

[@marisakirisame2366]

Your personal Top 3 roses overall?

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Still changing. 'Daybreaker' blew me away with constant gorgeous blooms this year. 'Sydonie' has impressed me a lot with flower form and overall garden shape (but it's a young plant, so the jury is still out). 'Buff Beauty' might take #1. Far too many runners up to start listing them.

[@anons090]

Do you sell Pat Austin rose plant?

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Yes, it's in my collection and I propagate it regularly.

[@Whipporwhill]

Do you sell cuttings for these & can you ship to the states?

[@FraserValleyRoseFarm]

Sorry, but no - we can't ship into the US

[@Whipporwhill]

@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Do you have any videos posted on sourcing the old fashioned & out-of-patent roses you feature! I'd love to have some resources for roses I can propagate for my flower farm & my nursery. I do have Hot Cocoa & read that it's out of patent now. Is it OK to prop DA roses if they're out of patent? I'm in the US. Thank you!

[@empresskimberly4410]

I admit…I’m a tad jealous.
