Loved your video Janey! Thank you for sharing your rose-growing journey. Your Eden Climber is beautiful and looks like it is thriving.

[@wendymckee6627]

I have five climbing roses. I want another one but husband says five is enough. Thinking of getting rid of the husband and getting the rose 😅😂

[@Meems56]

😂😂😂

[@rosiesingleton6480]

🤔🤭🤫

[@kristystrohmyer6119]

😂😅

[@robinstokes3602]

So funny... I’ve heard that statement about getting a cat. “ get rid of husband because he’s allergic to cats, and get the cat”

[@bonnieblenders4606]

Odd numbers are best. Get 2 to make 7😅

[@Kitland]

Deadheading is my favorite part of gardening. Every day I go out for 5 or 10 minutes and do some deadheading. It gives me an excuse to spend some time loving on my plants and enjoying my garden. It always brings me peace and calm.

[@heidijones1516]

Hi Janey, well done - all of your advice was spot on. I've been growing roses for close to 30 yrs and have accumulated around 60. The majority of them have come from Heirloom Roses as I prefer them grown on their own roots and their quality is unsurpassed. Years ago I had no interest in growing roses because of all the misinformation out there regarding care etc. Then a friend of mine gifted me my first own root rose from Heirloom along with their catalog and that was the start of my love affair. Like you said, choosing the right rose for the location and situation is key. I don't have a formal rose garden, it's more of a cottage situation with all of them mixed in with shrubs, perennials, annuals etc. I do dead head every few days but I enjoy the opportunity to check out the health and progress, plus I am a hairdresser so cutting is my thing! Bottom line . . . roses are a LOT easier to grow and deal with than most people think. 🥰 p.s. The 3 people I have followed and learned from most are; Jason/Fraser Vly Rose Farm, Kimberly Dean/Rose Geeks and Ben Hamilton/ U.K. David Austen all are smart and very experienced.

[@gashlycrumb4988]

I agree, Heirloom Roses is the best. High Country Roses also has own-root roses only. They cost less but are much much smaller when you get them and more fragile. I've been very happy with both companies. From what I've read, own-root roses are like own root fruit trees -- they grow more slowly and are not as quick to bear, but they have a much longer lifespan and will eventually grow larger. Grafted roses live around 15 years while on their own root they tend to die somewhere between the ages of 30 and 1000.

[@HomeSweetHomewithKaren]

For someone who says they’re not an expert, you’re the only video I’ve seen to explain how (and why) to fertilize in year 1 and how to horizontally train a climber. Love it!

[@sheilathompson7105]

As someone else who's new to roses, I greatly appreciate your approach....relatable, understandable & informed! Much appreciated💚😊💚

[@Kitland]

I really appreciate how open and honest you are about being a newer gardener and not an expert on certain topics and that you are just sharing your research and trial experiences. I also appreciate that you share great and accurate info in a concise and easy to understand way.

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Thank you for saying that! 🥰 It made my day 💗

[@danikat29]

I watched a video last year that explained the need to train your climbing roses horizontally and did the same S shape going up the trellis and then did an espalier for another rose. My roses bloomed so beautifully this year! 🌹❤️

[@patmmathiesen1638]

Janey, For my roses with aphids I take dish put some water it with some dawn make suds . I use rubber gloves , dip your hand in suds and lightly put lt on the aphids. It works well for me and I don't get many aphids. Also I spray water on them later. I am in zone 8. Seattle thanks for your tips too. Pat

[@deewinston5651]

Thank you for sharing such helpful information.

[@richbishop7896]

I planted my Eden climbing rose last year in my zone 5b garden. It just sat there and did not put on any growth. The rose survived our cold winter and is growing well now. I start fertilizing in May. Bonny

[@jomoreno9134]

Regarding aphids; I used to clip off any stems or buds showing aphid infestation. Wrong! You are right, use a sprayer with plain water or crush the aphids. I use a water sprayer and hold a vegetable bag nearby to catch all the wet aphids. There was no damage to those buds! I now have a clean rose with 20 buds ready to bloom soon and the aphids went into the trash (not onto the ground where they could infest again). Have not tried your method of squishing because my new growth is so delicate I don’t want to harm it. Thank you for all your info, much appreciated!!! 💜

[@tlcgarden2300]

I purchased an Eden rose from Heirloom Roses last year, and yes, there was no growth for the entire year. I thought the poor plant was dead. But, thankfully I was patient and now the rose has started growing this year - not much - but at least it has started to grow. And I'm hoping to see a bloom or two this year🤞. Thanks for the information. Very helpful. 🌹M

[@fridgemagnet9831]

Eden usually has a slow start so nothing out of the ordinary. Mine only had a decent bloom in year three.

[@ClassicRoyal]

I’m in zone 7 and that’s what I’ve seen in my Eden, planted Spring 2023.

[@itsmewende]

What timing. My biggest problem..Japanese beeltes..just this morning my Farmers Almanac newsletter was all about those. Last summer they ate EVERYTHING, I've never had that before, I found them on just about every plant I have. I seen Monty talk about climbing roses, how to go horizontal for the lateral blooms, you are spot on. Thanks for mentioning all you did, especially that "secret" formula 😊

[@votuzh22]

They say that a four o'clock plant is a magnet for jap. beetles and it kills them almost instantly

[@Bunniefufu121810]

I lost ALL my roses to the rose rosette disease 😭 i live in in miami Fl. I assumed it was new growth at first. I have never heard of this disease ☹️ Now i know it too well. It was EXTREMELY hard to fight it. But i probably tried fighting it when it was too late.

[@debsmith8102]

Thank you Janey! Because of your recommendation about Earth Angel I purchased one from a heirloom roses. It came large and very healthy! Highly recommend them! Now I want an arch!

[@emilylam8623]

I just ordered 2 of them as well. Can’t wait for them to arrive ❤

[@emilylam8623]

Thanks for your advices. After watching your video, I ordered 2 Eden climbing roses from Heirloom. Saved your video for future reference.

[@jtchilla3519]

Girl you rock!

[@musiclovetara]

[@ThePieceFullGarden]

Great information on roses Janey! Your eden climbing arch was absolutely stunning! Like I have never seen such beautiful roses! 😊

[@thewayet]

Great video and perfect timing! I just bought a climber and was about to get started. Thank you! BTW, your garden is absolutely beautiful!! ❤

[@gingercalvert3761]

Great job, very informative and explained absolutely a-z perfectly. You have a new follower young lady. Thank you

[@KP-gw5zv]

Thank you for all those tips on growing climbing roses. I am thinking of growing some next season for my garden so I am like you looking and researching all the tips I can find. Just so I am prepared. Enjoy the rest of your day.

[@evemarkus]

Love your videos and thank you for sharing your beautiful climbing rose and arch trellis. This video inspired me to do the same. I was lucky to find an Eden climber at my local nursery now waiting for the arch to arrive. 🥰

[@Meems56]

Fab advise Janey! I’ve just planted two climbers and will follow your advise about training, well I learn quite a bit from all your vids! Thanks again! 🌹👩🏻‍🌾🌹

[@nancygilliland4002]

One thing not mentioned is cold freezing frigid rose killing winter temperatures😮

[@heavenonearthgardening]

Thanks Janey!! Great advices and tips! This video is perfect right now since I’m dealing with roses problems!🙈

[@rhondafisher72]

Great information even though I don't grow roses. Have a great day Janey.

[@frankielvandmac]

Thank you so much for this video ❤. I felt so bad that my eden roses didn't grow.

[@deborahmetcalfe8443]

Great tips! I have a couple climbers I struggle with. About ready to dump them. Thanks for the good info!

[@sherrymclaggan9097]

Thanks for this video! I just planted my first climbing rose and I’m a bit nervous about it. Lots of great advice here!

[@barbarasidel9012]

Thank you Janey. A wonderful video. Very informative. I learned lots!

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Thanks Barbara!

[@melissamartin8208]

I just bought 6 roses from Heirloom. Very healthy roses, but each rose is about $20.00 more than other suppliers.

[@ClassicRoyal]

My oldest is the Pilgrim at 2 years and has done well. I still haven’t seen hundreds of blooms yet, but it’s growing over my circular arch and blooming continuously

[@kiyahforever]

I recently came across this rose in our local botanical garden and instantly fell in love! So glad I found your video for when I inevitability plant my own.

[@daiseegray9110]

Perfect timing I just planted two David Austin Roses 🌼🐝

[@LifeatRavenRidge]

I literally just fertilized my 1st year David Austin’s with granules just a few hours ago then watched this video

[@linakhoury6623]

Hi Janey 🌺good information about roses . Janey add another climbing roses to your garden . Ilove your climbing rose the color is so beautiful I have red climbing rose and l will get like your rose and purple and yellow . Have awonderful day .🌺🦋🌺

[@jasminelouisefarrall]

It’s been a trooper for you this year 🍃🌸🍃

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

It really has! 💗

[@sviatlanavolhina]

Thank you! New to roses, very useful video. I saved it for future reference.

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Thanks Sviatlana!

[@andreadial7750]

Janey thank you so much for sharing so much valued info on your channel, not to mention all the links you provide to the favorite products and other info, not only do I find your videos entertaining but I am learning so much from you. I was wondering if you have ever have any issues with squirrels eating any of your flowers?

[@chrissheets4865]

Thanks for sharing this information. The majority of the video I spent enthralled by all the color around your entire garden. Crazy pretty with color!

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Thanks Chris! The garden is really taking off!

[@athomewithelisa]

I have always admired your Eden Climbing rose but I knew for my arbour I wanted a Pierre de ronsard as I've seen it in full bloom in real life, turns out they are the exact same rose! Can't wait to plant mine

[@simplybloom]

Absolutely stunning roses! Thanks for sharing! In my area we have rose gall wasps that go after our roses. My husband wanted to rip all the roses out but Steph from Hooked and Rooted told me to try a MAJOR prune so I hacked them down to almost the ground and I haven’t had any issues since and it’s the best they’ve ever looked!

[@anitanaiker8593]

Thanks Janey for sharing, watch all your vedios and learned a lot. Any tips for powdery mildew on rose leaves. My mini roses just start to have some of these. Thanks Anita

[@tammyrice1529]

Thanks for all the great advice. Especially thank you for mentioning the rose rosette. You are correct that it is a big problem in a lot of places. I enjoyed watching the video. Have a great day.

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Tammy, that was you who reminded me about it right? If so thank you!

[@morgaynelove9327]

Greetings from the Olympic Peninsula in Washington state! That was awesome! You heard me! Loved your vlog on roses and appreciated mostly not being called a guy! 😊💚💚💚

[@jlbock27]

I’m new also to roses this year. Unfortunately it’s been raining a lot and my 2 climbing roses developed black spot fungus. I have cut all the diseased pieces and applied fungacide a few times but it’s continuing to spread. They are so sparse. I may have to retry with new ones next year. After researching I learned the advice is to use fungicide at the beginning of the season as a preventative, apply mulch so that spores dont splash up on your plant, and make sure to prune and not overcrowded to promote good air circulation. Hopefully next year ill do better.

[@zlatamontgomery1593]

Wow so good and help to grow roses Please do more video about all sick 🤢 of rose

[@Alyssasrosegarden]

Love this! Thank you, what lip color are you wearing? I have been looking for a similar shade and I can't find one like that.

[@aspiringviolinist5732]

Great video and information! I have several roses and have 4 more coming from heirloom. I love Kordes and DA roses. I will have to try the secret recipe.

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

I honestly think it helped so much this year!

[@jomassey4207]

What a beautiful photo of you beneath the rose in full bloom! You're so right in that it's important to find a decent rose nursery. We planted 3 tree roses last fall and this summer they've almost died....even after looking after them so carefully.

[@Ba-pq4zk]

Your garden so beautiful and can you let me know where you buy eden climber rose 🌹 thanks

[@lisarokusek8107]

Thank you so much for this information I’m just really starting to get into roses myself. My question to you is I planted my own Eden climbing rose last summer so would this summer be my second year? Or am I still on my first year I get that a little confused any information would be appreciated.

[@brianaparicio3733]

After you fertilize in March with that secret recipe do you do that once a month after March? What do you feed your roses throughout the year?

[@miriamgrutz2132]

Hello thank you for the tips. I really appreciated. Question I can't find on line sulpo-mg ? Any suggestions 🤔

[@jsav4269]

Just ordered my Eden climbers from heirloom they ship Monday August 21st along with earth angel

[@dinhswan7700]

I''m a beginner and just bought a few Eden climber roses. I'm so excited to plant them! I want to plant them in a location that receives full sun throughout the day, but I'm worried about the summer heat in SoCal. I've been doing a lot of research recently and your tips match everything that I've read. Thank you for sharing Janey!

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Just make sure you stop fertilizing in the hot summer months and it should be happy as a clam! 😆💗

[@robinstokes3602]

I have a miniature rose and deal with the same thing. Black spot and aphids. By the way your swoop looks amazing!

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Thanks Robin! Ugh I'm sorry! How frustrating

[@peggyfrommanitoba7310]

Hi Janey! Can you explain what the difference is between plant food and fertilizer? I have brain freeze from eating too many popsicles so I’m not understanding why those terms are used interchangeably by some brands! 🌺

[@emilylam8623]

Hey Janet, What type of soil did you use when you planted your Eden climbing (soil without granulated fertilizer)?

[@cocolocaloca9972]

Hi, where is the trellis from ??please. It Looks sturdy . Nothing else I have seen convinces me

[@shannonstone9806]

I am curious...I am now living in Northeastern England. My roses have black spot. I was going to employ a melaleuca/water solution spray. Have you ever tried this? As melaleuca is a natural non toxic anti fungal...I thought it a good start...but would love to hear your thought. Thank you kindly. 🙏

[@AllAboutElle]

Heirloom mentions on their website that this rose is for shade. Your area looks like it's getting a lot of sun. Would you say this does better in the shade or in sun?

[@karenplante3801]

Your yard looks amazing! I love the roses climbing on your arch. We had 67 roses, but now we are down to 20. We live in Central West TX and we have the dreaded rose rosette disease bad here. Texas A&M are working hard on a solution to it but as of now, you have to remove the bush and can not plant another rose in that spot for at least a year. The mite spreads it from eating the rose bud then it spreads down the cane and to the roots. The only way to not get it is to spray with neem oil on a regular regimen to prevent the mite from even being on the roses. It is so sad to have to remove over 40 rose bushes. So spray prevention is the way to go.

[@nancylyles323]

Thanks Karon for the info on Rosette disease on roses here in Texas. I too am from West Central Texas (Mason) and was wondering if it’s something we have to deal with here. Now I know and will be on the lookout for it.

[@annsfrench]

I have never sprayed my rosed for rose rust. What I do is pick off the affected leaves and pick up any of the leaves that have fallen off. If a particular cane is severely affected I will prune it out. I have always been able to control the fungus acceptably with this method.

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Great to hear! That is what i'm planning on doing, wish me luck 🤞🏼

[@diannecialdea3010]

Hi Jenny, you say always deadhead roses. What if the type of rose I has says no deadheading necessary?

[@karinahammond8673]

Can you share the link to the garden arch please? I looked up kinsman garden supply and could not find it. Thank you!!!

[@gaylagenecarder4343]

Do you know anything about leaf curl on roses?

[@marcy6951]

Thank you for sharing. What is name of the plum bush behind you pls ?

[@Aspensandblossoms]

It is a loropetalum or Chinese fringe flower. 😊

[@mreye0929]

Hi Janey, what soil did you use the first time you planted your Eden roses?

[@emilylam8623]

I just asked her the same question. Hope she will answer since I’m going to plant 2 Eden climbing soon.

[@danielseaton984]

Question: when planting climbing roses for an arch, do you recommend planting one or two rose plants on each side? This is taking into consideration that the roses will be planted against an arch the size in your video. Thank you

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Id do one on each side, climbers get big!

[@6665cjs]

Use your rabbit feed instead of purchasing the expensive alfalfa meal! Water in well! Also, do you know your bunny’s poop is amazing gentle fertilizer?! I use it all over! Roses especially!

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

Ok, how do you use the bunny poop? just spread it around? I haven't really figured out how to use it appropriately 😆

[@6665cjs]

@@DigPlantWaterRepeat hey! Totally get it, rabbit poop isn’t pretty to look at 😝 I just throw a big handful in bottom of hole for new planting, and scratch it in surface and cover with mulch for established. It’s amazing!!!! And free!!!

[@sheilathompson7105]

If you squirt aphids off the rose, won't they just climb right back up?

[@nolagirl7082]

Janey.. stop underselling yourself!! We all know that you’re not some master gardener with 50+ years of experience, lol! But you have been going hard for around 5 years now and you have learned a lot on the way. You have so much knowledge to share and we appreciate it! If you’re doing garden tours at your house, I want to hear what you have to say!

[@Amylovestoads]

When I dead head, where do I cut? Right under the rose bloom or down the stem near the Y?

[@jomoreno9134]

Cut just above the nearest 5 leaf branch that grows outward from the center of your rose plant. (Pass by all the 3 leaf branches till you see a 5 leaf branch. Choose a 5 leaf branch growing outward so new growth will grow outward as well rather than toward the center of your rose.)

[@gloriaruiz2332]

🙏🏻👏🏻

[@Areli_Small_Garden]

what is the discount code for roses???

[@roontunes]

the japanese add sea water to their watering schedule, clearly full of minerals and of course youd have to get the dilution right. Have you seen their rose gardens on the Tube ? Biggest problem in our irish climate is blackspot, and the worst bug is by far sawfly larvae. 🤬

[@gracefulgrowing144]

I think you gave great advice. I am in learning phase 2nd year mine are bush not climbing. I do want to move to the climbing roses though. Thank you for all this information and it was very knowledgeable. As always love your videos.

[@judyandrews1605]

Is Kinsman wholesale only?

[@DigPlantWaterRepeat]

nope! I've purchased directly from them as well as from amazon! I have the amazon links in my store (link in description)

[@antonyca4938]

Hi

[@rosiesingleton6480]

Aphids are attacking my rose of Sharon trees. I bought neem oil to use - hope it works 🧐
