I'm in Central California, Zone 9b, with 106ish rose bushes. In the past, I normally used just steer or chicken manure to fertilize my roses , and they did well. This year, I switched it up. I applied one cup of alfalfa pellets to each rose in January. In February, I covered the beds with steer or chicken manure. In March, I applied 3/4 cup Rose Tone to each rose and have repeated the RT every month. These roses exploded with blooms like never before! It was hard to keep up with the dead-heading, as there were so many blooms. I really enjoy your videos and have learned so much from you.

[@OlgaCarmody]

[@Thunderbird68-i2f]

Agreed that it's all in soil quality. I work in a compost/manure mix, alfalpha pellets and an organic slow release granular fertilizer at the start of the season, followed by a liquid organic fertilizer later on. Lots of water once or twice per week depending on temperature and heat wave. Liquid or water soluble chemical fertilizers are a quick fix and best applied for emergency purposes only since they're available to the roots almost immediately. There's no need to use chemicals when the soil is healthy and maintained organically. You bring the best out of David Austin roses! 🌹

[@OlgaCarmody]

Thank you, Mickey! Well said!

[@rbthegardennannyllc4219]

@mickey5779 You say you follow by adding a liquid fertilizer later - how often?

[@Thunderbird68-i2f]

@@rbthegardennannyllc4219 Hello there! I add the liquid fertilizer (organic or water soluble) within the first couple weeks after the first flush is finished, especially after a good rain fall. I follow-up twice with liquid fertilizer in my short growing season. For a longer growing season in a warmer climate zone, I suggest every 4 - 6 weeks at the recommended strength, however; it's best to follow the instructions indicated on your fertilizer label. In a colder zone, you want to stop fertilizing at least 6 weeks prior to the 1st frost setting in to encourage the plants to harden off for winter dormancy.

The garden has thirteen rose bushes that are poorly pruned and growing every which way. I have spent a lot of time in trying to get them to not only look good but also to be healthy. I only use organic everything in our garden. Should we pull them out and start all over again? I have planted six new David Austin roses in containers and one over the arbor. I love David Austin roses. Help! Thank you so much.

[@OlgaCarmody]

Hi Norma, glad you are here! Welcome! I would try to rejuvenate those roses before just throwing them out. Here is my video of basic rose care for different parts of US: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYeqkq2QmpZ0gNk I never gardened in California, but if you follow each step in basic rose care, you can bring those roses back to life. This season is done, but you can do heavy pruning at the beginning of next year. That probably is the biggest fix you can do, since your roses are growing all over the place. And if there is no success ( those roses might be just very old), I would throw them out without any regrets. I would be showing everyone how I prune my beauties in spring, that info will be too late for your region. Look around for a good book on roses and you should be able to do good pruning. Good luck and happy gardening!

thank you so very much Olga. I will definitely take you awesome advice. And thank you for getting back to me so quickly. Happy gardening to you too.

[@1Lightdancer]

I hope your roses are song better! I agree with Olga - years ago a man from Jackson and Perkins roses spoke to our local rose society group about just that! He said time and again, sometime would dig out a spindly old rose, and a neighbor would claim it, dog a nice new hole, dump in some manure and replant it - and the next year it world be gorgeous and full of blossoms! He told us to save ourselves the trouble, just pile on the manure ourselves!

[@1Lightdancer]

Lovely - and I so agree on using natural fertilizers on the roses and rest of the soil! I have two Austin roses - Jude the Obscure and Gertrude Jekkyl, plus several fragrant heritage roses. One tip in an old book was to bury chicken (or other) bones and skin etc under a rose when planting - a nice slow release mineral supplement!

[@rahulm4068]

Beautiful garden you have. Even I agree to go with organic, because that keeps soil as well as plant more healthy. Do you have any video on standard tree roses? If yes please share.🇮🇳😊

[@OlgaCarmody]

I admire those beautiful rose standards, but will never go down that road. There are several reasons. I live in zone 7, zone 6 starts just several miles inland. It is coastal area CT, US, and we can have very unpredictable late freezing winds here. Plus, some winters are cold and snowy and others are mild. I looked into growing standard roses in my garden at some point, and was totally horrified what I have to do to overwinter them! Some advise was to cut roots of the rose standard at one side and lay it into a trench, cover it with soil and keep it that way for winter. In spring, raise it up again. That is a horror story for me! But folks in warmer areas don't need to face those situations. For them the biggest thing is the sturdiness of the rose trunk. That is the long answer. The short answer would be, I don't do those standards in my garden, just admire them from afar. Maybe someone has other suggestions. You are welcome everyone, to continue this conversation with your success and failure stories, I would be interested to read them.

Hi Olga - love your videos! I also live in CT zone 6B and you inspired me to buy 3 Lady of Shallot rose bushes earlier this year. They are growing very quickly and they’re producing blossoms but not as many as I thought they would- maybe that’s because it’s their first year and they’re focused on growing? I fed them earlier in the summer with RoseTone but I’ll check out your suggestions for fertilizing. Also, they’ve been very healthy but due to our wet summer they’re now struggling with some blackspot - any suggestions? Thank you!

[@OlgaCarmody]

Roses do take time to mature. First year is pretty low in blossom expectations. Don’t worry, it is normal. Your rose is like a child, give her time to grow. And yes, black spot is huge this year, we have rains here in CT almost every second night. I just tolerate it, collect all the damaged leaves, let long new canes collect all the sun rays before winter and throw all the leaves into garbage.

Hi Olga, another wonderful video.

[@OlgaCarmody]

In my opinion, everything natural works. If I want a quick feed to reach my plants quickly, I use liquid natural stuff. I don't really do tea compost these days, but use fish emulsion from once in a while. Stinky stuff it is, but so good!

In front of the box woods there is an annual planting of mexican heather and verbena. This all enclosed by high brick walls that hold brutal intense heat in the summer. Only the strong survive ln this environment,and the austin rose has done every thing they said it would do. Periodically at expected bloom times i also feed alfalfa meal tea.

Hello there! Food is food, and horse manure, as long as it is aged, is perfect. I believe in healthy soil and when you add to the goodness of it with natural stuff( roses are heavy feeders), not only do you provide food for your adorable roses, but you also enhance the life of your soil. Healthy soil is healthy plants in the long run.

[@tw333ti]

You mentioned about basal canes being important. I have heard that if your rose is not on own root and canes are coming from underneath you need to cut them off because it is created from another root stock that has been grafted. Is this true? Thank you

[@OlgaCarmody]

Hi there, Yes to your question. If there are side shoots coming from underneath the grafted area, it means those shoots are from root stock. As since root stock is different, that shoot will create a different rose and will eventually try to overtake the rose. You don't automatically cut that shoot out. You need to see what it is and then, if it is different, not cut it but tear it near the root joint. Hope it helps. I might create a video about it (let me know if it would be helpful to you). Thanks for your question.

Also is it necessary to feed roses with manure and an organic feed? If I only use manure during dormancy will the rose suffer? Many thanks for your videos I always look forward to watching them.

[@OlgaCarmody]

Hi Kim, you know, different regions use different fertilizer. And it comes down to what is available. Aged manure is great, you can put it around roses in winter and it will offer not only food for next year, but will condition soil. I use manure + natural rose fertilizer. In your area folks might be using different stuff depending on tradition and soil. But, bottom line, as long as it is natural, it will do the same job: feed and improve structure of soil.

Yes, one year later camera work is much better. Thanks for suggestion.

What do you think about David Austin’s fertilizer? It’s not completely organic but I’ve heard good things about it.

[@OlgaCarmody]

David Austin doesn't state that their fertilizer is organic, so it is not. Personally, I didn't use it myself, really don't want to put any artificial stuff into my soil. It is such an important issue, feel I simply need to do a video on it.

Thanks! BTW, do you do your own gardening maintenance or have help?

[@OlgaCarmody]

I do everything myself. A lot of work, but that’s the only way I will know stuff going on in my garden.

[@RayIniego]

@@OlgaCarmody Yeah, you can tell how intimately you know what's going on with your roses...
