I'm sure it would reduce me to tears should I ever have the privilege of bearing witness to it climbing like that in real life.

The fragrance is 70% old rose, 30% grapefruit and the flower form is flawless, some blossoms are quartered, then disorganize upon maturity. A blessing to have such a clear, luminous, CADMIUM yellow, not mustard yellow rose. Gertrude Jekyll and Vita Sackville West's hearts would be beating fast to discover such a rose for their garden's. They lived in a simpler, more romantic era, we live in a more abundant era. And to be able to send your images all over the planet in a few seconds is truly a blessing, thank you for sharing. Now we need phones/computers that emanate fragrance! LOL!

With an ongoing pungent septic tank replacement next door we decided last night to see if we could get booked in to visit the David Austin Gardens in Albrighton today (Wednesday 8th June), about a 120 mile round trip. I was very surprised to find quite a few 3-hour slots available for today. It's nice to know that it can be a more spontaneous thing and that you don't have to plan weeks ahead - or maybe it's just a midweek lull? The visit was very useful because I particularly wanted to be able to see the roses in bloom (to see their size, colour and shape, and how the flowers fade and age) and see what their fragrances were like. The weather was nearly perfect, warm enough but not so hot that you got exhausted by the heat. My wife actually took quite an interest (which was unexpected and very gratifying - have I converted her?) and expressed some enthusiasm for buying this or that rose, and we both enjoyed sitting in one area of the garden admiring the hundreds of roses in beds and listening to the birdsong. There are at least 3 peacocks who made their presence heard (not so much bird "song" as screaming) and one was unconcernedly walking around people's feet as they walked along the paths - you had to take care not to tread on his sweeping trail of feathers. I was pleased that my sense of smell seemed to be working as well as it can these days, and I was able to appreciate the scents of many of the roses. My wife was keen to get a spreading ground-cover rose called "Centre Stage" and she fancied a fragrant yellow rose, so we got "The Poet's Wife" which you featured and recommended in your video, and we both agreed on the fragrant white "Susan Williams Ellis". I was a little disappointed that despite all the varieties on offer none struck me as must-buys, and quite a few were quite disappointing in real life compared with their catalogue images, although a few surprised me as being possible buys. I think I have already bought the ones I really, really want (and some I could maybe do without). Also we were both struck with how one type of rose looked good in one context, but not in another - was it the time of day, the stage of blooming, the light, the weather, our level of tiredness? Even one of my favourites, The Ancient Mariner, failed to impress when compared with my example at home - is it because I was comparing a young rose with my more established rose? I made a point of looking at the Carolyn Knight that grabbed your fancy. I'm sorry to tell you that neither of us was impressed - the colour seemed to have washed out to pale yellow since you saw it and I think some recent rain had caused balling of its many petals, leaving it looking rather bedraggled - although the scent was delicious. I think your point about the timing of your visit is valid - some of the roses you showed were less impressive just a few days later, and probably vice-versa. I don't think one visit is enough to get the full picture of how each variety performs over time - and in different weather conditions - but, unless you live close by, repeated visits are easier said than done. And you are unlikely to see a fully mature version of most of the roses in any case. I realised halfway through the visit that I should have been better organised and taken detailed notes while I was in front of the roses I liked, since I did lose track of my favourites and the reasons I liked them, because of the sheer quantity of roses you are looking at. I think there are about a dozen DA roses in total which would for me be worthy of a place in my garden - if I can find space in my garden! I was looking for a red rose and we both thought that Gabriel Oak, which we have, although not a proper red, is a good choice, with Thomas a Becket a good second, and the Old Rose "Rose de Rescht" has a beautiful fragrance. But some of the exotically named like Tuscany Superb and Ispahan turned out to be less impressive than their names suggested. The greenery around the unopened buds of the Chapeau de Napoleon was very intriguing and eye-catching. I also realised what a good job you had done with the filming of the roses - well done! Overall, a brilliant day out. And I got some more roses!

A shame that Carolyn knight was not up to scratch when you visited but I guess these things happen. The day I was there it was magnificent but I’m not surprised to read days later it was a little beaten by the elements. Yes I had big plans for this day that kinda went a little down hill and I’m sad I didn’t record things much better. But I think repeated visits is the way forward if possible and practical. The roses can be so different just days apart. I’m glad you liked the poets wife for me it was splendid and I have since purchased one that I’m very happy with. Was it my imagination or the roses I mentioned had a generous scattering around the Garden? Weeks later I start to doubt myself. Well hope you and your wife are well and thanks for the read.

@@Jay_Jay Yes, I am just looking at the Garden Plan and DA obviously plant their most striking roses in a number of beds - Emily Bronte in 13 different beds, Gabriel Oak in 12 beds, but Claire Austin and Benjamin Britten each only featured in one bed (Gertrude was only in 4, but in huge numbers). Not surprising I suppose. Of course, we may have different opinions from those of DA gardeners as to what constitutes the best roses.

Gentle Hermione was another rose I was looking for but only saw the one rose. I made an off the cuff remark about rose Elizabeth earlier that day in another video saying her scent was moody and I think now it’s a perfect description especially for that rose. There’s no telling how she will perform fragrance wise on any particular day and just when your convinced the fragrance will be underwhelming she hits you with a very fine tune indeed. A rose that likes to tease but I suspect one that will not feature so heavily at DA. Thanks nik

The Poet's wife is a stunner! It looks upright and full of golden yellow blooms. Mine here in southeastern US is still a baby and it's graceful, but still a floppy one. I want my roses to look like this so bad! About fragrance though...I think there are definitely a lot of factors that play into fragrance, and the weather is definitely one of them. James Galway and Munstead Wood are good examples for me. I've grown Munstead Wood for years and only just discovered this year it's fragrance. The strongest fragrance came from blooms on a new and thick cane. It was in the middle of the morning around 9:30am. Later in the day it wasn't as strong, but it was still present. When it's super hot, you barely smell anything at all. James Galway is another one that caught me off guard. I thought this one had no fragrance at all, but strangely, it was in the hottest part of the day when it was fragrant. It was actually strong enough to smell from a distance on one bloom. But in the morning, I didn't smell a thing.

Hi Derek. Yes the poets wife did look exceptional here. I did buy one as a result of this visit it’s sat in my garden now but it’s currently very droopy. Wether or not it will stiffen up in time I don’t know. Fragrance yes many factors come into play. I think this year we had low overnight temps throughout June. Like single digit overnight temps. This killed the daytime fragrance in many roses I believe. I’m told colder overnight Temps roses can turn off there fragrance tap as it’s not best temps for insects to pollinate so they hold back. Also I’ve found some roses are not fragrant until you cut them and bring them indoors. Add to this the time of day, heat, stage of flowering, rain, it can get very complex. Thanks for dropping by and may your roses be fragrant ones :)

I think it's because it's own root. I'm considering ordering a grafted one from DA for next season to see what it does. How has yours done for you this year?

Cheers for the tour! Scent is so finnicky and it seems especially so with Austens. The most consistently fragrant DAs I have are Wollerton Old Hall and Gertrude Jekyll; Mary Rose comes close. Desdemona and the Generous Gardener easily shift from redolent to scentless and Tess of the d’Urberville is almost in the same category. Then my two Malvern Hills are mild at best, but their perfume wafts on the wind on occasion, which is rare for most roses. Tottering-by-Gently and James L. Austin never exuded a whiff of anything for me, though I’ve been contradicted when it came to both, and I would’ve said the Albrighton Rambler’s almost odourless until I brought some cut flowers in the house last year and they filled the air around them with the most perfect musky aroma for a couple of days. Sun exposure, precipitation, time of day, the age of the plant and of the specific bloom definitely affect the scent and, on many occasions, the same factor affects roses differently. Then soil and, by extension, fertilizer perhaps more so? Plus the origin of the scent, whether it wafts from the petals or the stamens. I agree with you that the lack of reliability is disappointing. The one thing I seem to be able to count on is that the first few blooms coming in the middle of May will be quite fragrant in the case of most roses, DA or otherwise; perhaps that's to be chalked up to heat.

Thanks for the informative video. Almost as good as being there yourself. There's an extremely interesting detailed article about rose fragrance online - I did a search for "best weather for rose scent" and ended up on a page giving Karen's garden tips, where she talks about all sorts of factors affecting fragrance - colour, petal numbers and thickness, etc. I think that as we age we lose quite a bit of our ability to smell, and some people are anyway better "smellers". My wife is much more sensitive than me and often assures me that the rose I cannot smell does in fact have a fragrance. I tend to only really appreciate strong old rose/ fruity smells. However we react differently as well - she finds the scent of Lady Of Shalott unpleasant for example. I was looking at my impressive 5 foot tall Ancient Mariner with its 200 (!) blooms/buds today but the damp cool weather didn't let me get a good whiff - but since it is a myrrh fragrance I won't fully appreciate it anyway. However its strong upright growth and health together with the large, attractive flowers and its overall "neat" appearance ( a feature commented on by a visitor today when comparing it with my Eustacia Vyes) are inclining me to want to plant more (maybe a group of three!), whatever the fragrance. Although since they are so impressive on their own, perhaps it is not really worthwhile planting them as a group. I do really like the fragrances of Desdemona, Emily Bronte and of course Gertrude Jekyll (and Abraham Darby which is now difficult to get hold of because of health issues in the UK).

Hi Jay next year I am going to do a video focused on fragrance. I am keeping a note of the weather time or year time of the day to see what I find with my roses. Fragrance really does seem the biggest mystery and so complex and maybe even personal. I went out and had another "sniff" of my gentle Hermione and its there but nowhere near as punchy as in May June time when it knocks your sock off. Funny enough my most fragrant right now is wallerton old hall. The deep cupped shape seems to trap the fragrance like a scent bomb when you smell it up close. QOS very faint my gorgeous shropshire lad also a much lighter fragrance than in earlier months. Rose de reich strong as ever Gertrude has finished so I can't compare at the moments. Vanessa bell is still blooming like crazy and smells of sweets like pear drops and sherbert

Please do Hailey that would be great if you were to do a video, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Many people I’ve heard will talk of what sex you are depends on the fragrance you do or don’t detect, older people lose there sense of smell or time of day effects the fragrance. Different flowers at different stages on the same rose etc. Personally I think there is perhaps some gravity in this. But for me the most sound explanation is the weather. Especially unseasonable weather. This year in June time we had very unseasonal mild overnight temps, even if during the daytime it was perfect and sunny, those cold overnight temps killed the fragrance. I have read that roses do a job of attracting pollinators and if the weather isn’t safe for those pollinators the roses will literally turn off the fragrance tap. A window is required of at least 48 hours of seasonal weather for the roses to release the scent. So the consecutive cold overnight temps obviously disturbed that. That said I do think that some varieties of rose handle this situation better than others. Emily Bronte for one. But I’d love to hear your thoughts because I agree it’s far more complex than I first thought. Perhaps people are getting into the hobby and buying roses with an…. Expectation of this or that, but without an understanding those same people might find disappointment. So highlighting this must be a good thing. Best of luck Hailey ;)

In that same year it grew twice its height and gave me lots of bloom.I could not believe it. So, i may consider this with desdemona if it will not grow this year.In fairness i only had it last spring bare root. so its only a year old really.but still compared to how PW, jubilee celebration and Boscobel florish they are amazing.🙂🙏

Hi Elian. This was filmed in July last year. I have since bought Carolyn knight and planted in the ground early this year.

On its day fantastic as you see here, it’s a sport of summer song rose so the same rose just slightly different colour. It’s also grown pretty tall and leggy but remember it’s still an infant in my garden.

When you have to repot a rose you find out how quickly they cram a pot. And it has to be a huge pot to keep a shrub rose healthy. You might get better results with a patio rose or a small floribunda in s pot . Never been to cork, too far to drive for a spot of fishing 🤗.

In my experience, peak Rose time is the last two weeks in June through the first week in July, obviously depending on the weather. As for scent, there are a lot of reasons why scent might change, including the fact that men tend to lose their sense of smell more than women as they get older, but certainly weather is a factor and it’s something I thought was widely understood. Scent is about attracting insects to pollinate so plants have evolved to throw out more scent when there’s likely to be more insects about and less scent when fewer insects will be about such as on rainy/overcast days. As you claimed you couldn’t find any KZbin videos that talk about this (I assume in the context of Roses/DA Roses) I’m surprised you haven’t seen any of my multiple videos filmed at DA Roses which have thousands of views. Here’s one where I specifically mention scent and how the weather can affect it when I’m looking at the Rose Grace. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3rWnHeme6ppj6s

@roontunes2 жыл бұрын
Wood chips. Almost everything you can buy is artificially coloured, potentially 'treated'. If the wood chip begins to migrate into the soil then the soil begins to break it down and that can take many many months to the detriment of the plants. When the woodchip become damp and mouldy it harbours all manner of critters that will devour your roses. I'm sure DA will do all the management and husbandry required to keep the woodchip problem under control but Joe Blogs just wants a weed barrier that he can forget about. Me, I'm using leaf litter topped up with lawn clippings around my roses that are in my daffodil bed so I don't kill my bulbs, I pull it away from the canes to keep them clear at the bottom. In my other beds I use broken slates in a fan pattern as a suppressant, looks well, suppresses the weeds and allows the soil to breathe. On another note. Isaac perierre grew long canes last year with adequate blooms. I didn't prune them this year, just pegged them and they are heaving with strongly fragrant blooms. Your obedient 'lovely viewer' 😉

Thanks Jade yes I watched it. The video was sadly bought out a few days after mine. It was explained to me by someone far more educated than myself that in addition to what she says here, part of the reason for fragrance is too attract pollinators. And IF the weather is too dangerous or not suitable for these pollinators at any particular moment in time, or too dangerous for it’s flowers, then the rose literally turns off the fragrance tap. So colder overnight temps fall into that category. And crucially it takes 24 or even 48 hours for the fragrance to come through again. So regardless of weather the following day, the time of day or how many flowers on a rose you smell, no matter what stage of development the flower is in, if that fragrance tap has been turned off it then takes time 24-48 hours for the oils to come through again for our noses. Some varieties fair a little differently than others with a more reliable fragrance. Emily bronte for example and my new purchase this year mum in a million. Throw into the mix our noses our ages it gets pretty complex. But the above message as far as I was aware at the time at least I for one was completely unaware of.

The same goes for fragrant cloud, Queen of Denmark, etc etc, on fact any rose not bred by David austin. I have noted through the years that all David Austin roses bred by him have the word 'English' in the discription. If it doesn't, then it wasn't bred by him.
