Garden Tour of Olga’s July Garden 🪴🌷

My garden is a delight right now, despite all the weeds and overgrown shrubbery. We went on vacation to Ireland recently and Ireland was very cold for me. Sun, warm weather and soft breeze is a welcomed site in my garden these days for me. Enjoy!

Оля, я люблю ваши ролики, потому что всё в вашем саду выглядит так естественно, как будто растет само. Конечно я понимаю что это большой труд, уход за садом. Но когда я вижу ваш сад мне кажется это просто фантастическим, как будто природа сама создала такую красоту и гармонию. У вас отличный вкус и вы настоящий мастер ❤❤❤

Awww, thank you so much for a wonderful message!

HI Olga! Beautiful garden as usual. I officially own 4 roses now and I find I'm becoming addicted to them. I have you to thank for that

[@OlgaCarmody]

Rose addiction! Beware! Well, it is all good, and a great hobby to have! Enjoy.

Hi Olga I came across your channel when you interviewed Nancy Grant at her Fairfield property and was surprised to know that you are in Stratford as I am too! I very much enjoyed your garden, especially your roses. I have some knockout roses in my garden, but would love to grow other types of roses, but just have no idea where to start. I hope we can chat someday I would love to hear more of your garden tips.

[@OlgaCarmody]

Hello Daniela, hi neighbor! Yes, growing roses is quite exciting. Give me some questions and I will try to create a video for you on where to start for the beginner rosarian. I am starting to volunteer at Booth Memorial park, at the rose garden. Just had a lovely chat with Mr. Frank who runs those 400 roses there.You can see me there, they meet on Tue. and Fri. , 9-12 most of the year. Meanwhile, please send me a message through my email with your questions ([e-mail])

[@danielagentile6735]

@@OlgaCarmody Thank you Olga for responding to me. Funny you mentioned Boothe Park since that is where my husband and I got married 8 years ago this past week. We visit Boothe from time to time because we love visiting those beautiful roses. I definitely hope to see you there on some Friday in the near future!

[@tottering-by-gently]

Oh I wish we were neighbors! Gardening is my main hobby but I also keep chickens and bees and do upholstery (though I haven’t tackled a sofa yet!) I would love to trade some honey for delicious Ukrainian food ☺️

[@OlgaCarmody]

I wish we were neighbors! I would invite you for a good Ukrainian borsch!

[@tottering-by-gently]

[@GardeningSpirit]

Olga you have such a beautiful garden! I can see how much you enjoy your space and I love your what can you do attitude about it all when things struggle a bit. What is the tree behind your head here @7:24?

[@helensloan8457]

Beautiful! Is that agastache in front of Olivia Austen? Here in NC, it was so dry and hot for weeks that I could barely keep up watering. A lot of my summer blooms have faded out, so my July garden isn't as colorful as I wish. Not even the yarrow could keep it's color like I'm used to. Things are bouncing back now that the rains have come, but everything (including me lol) looks a little stressed

[@OlgaCarmody]

Yes, that agastache is a bit too happy near Olivia rose. I love all the pollinators there! We woke up to another cool morning here in Connecticut, I hope the cool breezes are here to stay! Well, have a stress free day!

Скажите а у вас в небе есть следы химии? Белые разводы, как разлитое молоко в небе? Очень много растений погибло от этих распыления. 😢

[@lucart08]

Thank you, Olga, for sharing the strengths & weaknesses of your plants. That is most helpful. Even though I enjoy seeing beautiful gardens, it's real life information that is truly helpful to me.

Z5b, Michigan. I have ‘White Dawn’, whose parent is ‘New Dawn’. I have had the same problem with very slow growth, & a very few basal breaks, most height has come from it creating a new leader off an existing cane. I tried growing it in zone 6b & zone 5b. This year, I finally gave up on it & gave it to my daughter in Z7a. It seems to be much happier there with the heat & humidity. I found out, she was not Michigan material!

[@OlgaCarmody]

Well, I read somewhere that New Dawn is propagated for so many years since it was introduced, and propagation was often done on weak stems , that the genes of this rose is weakened. I might agree with this statement.

[@melissaboerman3354]

Thank you for the insightful response… makes sense. I’ve replaced her with ‘The Pilgrim’, & it seems to be more prolific, with nice, long first shoots for a 1st season rose. Waiting for climbers to reach mature height can be a bit of a ‘waiting/patience’ game, especially at my latitude (47°N), but I know it will pay off. Melissa, ARS consulting Rosarian, MSU Ext.
