[@gardeningonthewestforkwith8994]

This gentleman I’d love to invite him to dinner and just talk roses. His enthusiasm and knowledge infectious !!

[@SMElder-iy6fl]

I'd love to have a lengthy lunch with Alexandra!

[@TerranceRick]

This guy's the real deal. Super knowledgeable and loves what he does. If you don't like roses after listening to him somethings wrong.

[@jimskipper1167]

Neil Miller was delightful! I enjoyed listening to his tips. You can tell he loves his work there at the castle. Thank you for "taking us along" on the tour!

[@TheMiddlesizedGarden]

It's a pleasure, I enjoyed it so much too.

[@belwynne1386]

Jim Skipper I wanted to take him to the local pub and keep asking questions!

[@RosesAreForever1871]

You can tell that he is a really nice person.

[@totallydomestic433]

Those were great questions! He was a walking rose encyclopedia! Thank you both!

[@Neldidellavittoria]

What an outstanding interview, so comprehensive and the answers packed with information. Amazing video, and you got some history into it too.

[@TheMiddlesizedGarden]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@claudiamewes3745]

Glad you like them!

[@Hope-uq1vn]

I have palm plants in pots in between my rose pots, is that ok?

[@Hope-uq1vn]

Delightful bideo

[@blackwing1071]

@@Hope-uq1vn no its not a palm is a tree so that means you gotta transfer it to a farm or some very very big and deep piece of land

[@ms.deesgardenfoodscape3693]

This is one of my favourite garden channels. So informative, and I love your personality, Alexandra! And this episode's guest Neil Miller is is just amazing. His enthusiasm and passion is so infectious ( I am going to buy so many roses tomorrow:)) and even the casual "Hi there" at the beginning is just adorable.

[@TheMiddlesizedGarden]

Thank you! And happy rose buying!

[@verawallace9055]

I was thinking about getting a thornless rose for a shade spot, now after listening to the expert ,I will not hesitate, thanks

[@TheMiddlesizedGarden]

Thank you!

[@andreaball8114]

Excellent questions, really direct and helpful answers. Interviews that raise more questions than answers have their place, but there's a nice calm feeling from this style that I appreciated today. Thank you. Plus a little bit of history to keep things memorable as a bonus!

[@TheMiddlesizedGarden]

Thank you!

[@nima16042]

Neil Miller is fantastic in telling this rose story! I enjoyed it immensely! Thank you! That rare case when I didn't feel like looking at the roses while listening to the tips. He was the star!

[@thou6321]

What a passionate head gardener! Love every single tip he gave in the video. And they are all very environmentally friendly tips.

[@harvindersinghuppal2162]

Roses can be a joy to behold, In recent years have a purchased number of new roses which are more disease resistent. Florabunda 'Lovestruck' roses which flower from May until Sept, 'Scent of Heaven' which is a lovely climbing rose. I've made many mistakes ranging from not pruning my florabunba in March ...as a result I had to carry a builders bag around with me whilst deadheading! I've recently removed one of my old roses which only flowered for a short time and didn't have any scent.... as you've mentioned before plants need to earn their keep else one needs to be ruthless. Planning to make some more purchases as bareroots later in the year and move my climber which is currently located at the back of my border.... always put scented flowers in locations where they can be appreciated people. Keep up the good work, i do love the efforts you go to interview the experts

[@TheMiddlesizedGarden]

Thank you so much, it's lovely to hear that.

[@LittleIowa]

This is such a dreamy place ♥️♥️ one day I hope to get brave enough to get on a plane to visit.

[@TheMiddlesizedGarden]

I do sympathise, I'm quite scared of flying myself, but have got more used to it.

[@melissaschloneger9902]

Neil is a character! I was belly laughing when he said the rose wasn’t blooming because you haven’t been talking to it…😂

[@Hedge-z4x]

How refreshing......direct answers to pertinent questions. Everything one could want in an inspiring vid. This is why I like the Middle sized Garden channel. Just ....Thank you.

[@TheMiddlesizedGarden]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Ang19692]

[@TheMiddlesizedGarden]

Thank you very much!

[@sanna_3941]

From start till end, this vibrant and energetic gentleman had me keep my eyes and ears on him, and with no effort! ...And he did it despite standing in front of a beautiful, rather stunning background!! He knows his stuff and is passionate about it!!!

[@AJsGreenThumbLLC]

Thanks Ms. Alexandra for another jam-packed episode of valuable information. Mr. Miller was very entertaining to watch...you can tell he is passionate about his work.

[@TheMiddlesizedGarden]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Love videos with info about growing roses! Thanks!

[@TheMiddlesizedGarden]

Glad you like them!

[@palmerplusonlineenglishtui7533]

Thanks for filming this. I'm just getting into rose growing, and I learnt a huge amount from this video. I have planted an old -fashioned rose called Royal Jubilee - a lovely dusty pink with peony type flowers. It's raining heavily as I type this - which is why I'm inside watching KZbin gardening videos. If the buds rot on this beautiful rose, at least I'll understand why!

[@TheMiddlesizedGarden]

Hope they don't rot, but at least you know to snip them off it they do. Thank you.

What a great interview!

[@DelightfulSouvenirs]

That’s what I did - go to the garden center and pick up what appealed to me, did not even think how to care for them. Thanks you for this interview, beautiful, I learned a lot. ( Amazing love for the garden isn’t it? That would motivate one to spend $110 million...)

[@gardenhill2]

I have a passion for roses. If I get a bouquet with roses in it I take a pencil length cutting and use rooting powder and pot up. Also I take cuttings of all of my roses, always think I will remember which rose it is. I always forget. Our house is referred to as the flower house, some of the flowers are were too.

[@TheMiddlesizedGarden]

That sounds wonderful.

[@shellslaraine9295]

They are!

[@Sarah_L_N]

What beautiful roses. We have a rose in our front garden, it was here when we moved in a year ago and so far all I've done is dead head it and our neighbours said it's never flowered so well. I recently underplanted it with some small salvia as I heard it can help with the blackspot, so we shall see. I imagine the poor thing hasn't been fed since it was planted however many years ago, so I will do that too! It's a bit misshapen as it's not been pruned well, but it's still producing lovely blooms. I was going to get rid of it when we moved in, but ended up leaving it for the flowering season and am glad I kept it, so that is good advice about leaving it to see what it does for a bit!
