Personal review of shrub rose “ Golden celebration” from

[@lilyrose5612]

It's blooming like crazy in my garden... i have this for nearly 10 years and it does not fail me as the blooms are huge and prolific as well...Thanks for the review Ben.

[@vorong2ru]

It was blooming literally non stop for me in its first year. You need to let it grow tall so nodding isnt an issue. It doesnt alway smell but when it smells it's strong and really delicious, one of the best scents imho.

[@doris2793]

Wonderful, thanks!... I was wondering if I would be able to see a rose in its first year

[@dduplis]

I have had this one for 2 years now and the blackspots are so real with this one but the scent, for me, is something magical... Sweet lemon sorbet.

[@dorettawilson7726]

It's one of my best roses in my Toronto Canada garden--after Brother Cadfael!

[@Osoznannost.]

Splendid review. Celebration was the first plant that I got for my new garden last year, and now I'm waiting for its first bloom. I am super excited and have a plethora of things to learn. Thank you for giving me a pretaste of this beauty ❤

[@janelevers291]

Wow. I hadn’t realised how huge the blooms are. Beautiful 😍

[@the_gardenerben]

They really are big and blowsy

[@dwaynebaker9793]

I have this one Ben and I absolutely love it! It’s beautiful and it’s a great performer.

[@anitabrock6858]

Hi Ben, it would be helpful if you could show the rose bush when you do your rose reviews.

[@the_gardenerben]

It’s not always possible, I do wherever I can it’s not easy theses no film crew, no sound technicians just me And my garden not every plant is in a location that I can get to it, no one else offers anything like I do for free I’ve provided over 115 reviews all paid for by myself

[@dollyperry3020]

My favorite yellow.

[@Ornitologi]

Magnifica 💛

[@marilynhudson7182]

3RD year with 2 and while cutting back mercilessly I still get those big, beautiful fragrant blooms on the skinniest of stems. Tricky rose to dead head because of that. Will keep cutting back hard to one day perhaps be a strong shrub. Zone 8A in the hot, humid, Southeast US and wants to be a climber here.

[@ElfredJ]

I planted this one this year. Anxiously waiting for the first blooms although probably won't see any until next year.

[@rissanaamino2144]

Traumhaft schön! Wo kann ich sie bestellen?😮

[@the_gardenerben]

@@rissanaamino2144 you can order through the link below tidd.ly/3OoaVm6 If David Austin ship directly to your location

[@carolinebaker3789]

Beautiful colour, l am looking to get a yellow rose, not decided yet, my best performing rose is Young Lycidas, reaching six foot now and covered in huge blooms that hold up well.

[@Saphisworld]

Love the detaled information, ove haf mine 3 years going in to 4, sadly last year i had to remove it from the bedding (very tough and strong roots but wevplanted privacy pleached trees) i received it for our 15th anniversary and was giving me the best blooms but dince the dhock move in February its in 45x45 pot. Its giving me roses but uts not at its best due to not being in the ground. Today ive read its duitable for shade, which means i can plant it on the other bedding, its get gorgeous morning sunshine till early afternoon. Ive taken other notes from your video regarding mulching and adding mircogynal, i hope o can make it come back even stronger

[@thoreauminded1010]

I've been waiting for this review from Gardener Ben! Just started w/David Austin roses this year. Planted two bare root GC in large containers, zone 6a, USA. I'm eagerly awaiting them to flower sometime this month!

[@gloriaruiz2332]

Lovely rose!!!.

[@lottiephillips7805]

Great video - thank you so much. I think this is the mystery rose that I have growing in my garden. I bought it years ago for £5 at a car-boot sale and it just gets better and better. I am off to have a look at the leaves, as all the other descriptions tick the boxes. Thanks for the tip on the watering of roses with larger blooms - I didn't know that. BYW - love the clematis in the background. Best wishes from Lottie in Suffolk.

[@Melanie-mq5sh]

god bless you more

[@water2mel]

The rose is beautiful indeed but what you have behind is really gorgeous. Could we hope for a garden tour anytime?

[@the_gardenerben]

I’m sure I could squeeze one in

[@cherylbeswick7327]

Beautiful ❤

[@paddyotoole2058]

First year I’ve had this. Planted 3 months ago. Growing well and just coming into bloom now (am in U.K.) but agree with the not so great disease resistance re blackspot / rust compared to others. Thought I was just unlucky with the plant I had chosen! So I am somewhat less concerned now to learn that this is a known trait for this particular breed.

[@rogehnimunoz4327]

She’s gorgeous. Thank you Ben. Is it possible for you to have a video on how you fertilize your roses? God bless!

[@the_gardenerben]

I’m not a huge fan or user of liquid chemicals of any fashion. All of my plants are most deeply with organic, compost and soil conditions each winter. This is what fuels the growth growth

[@amypetersen]

Wonderful!!

[@fareetharaja9009]

Wow! I have this in my garden too. I like it's fragrance. Could you please show your actual GC rose plant with the blooms please. I would love to see that. Thank you.

[@the_gardenerben]

As with all of my reviews, it is dependent on the Plants location, whether that is possible I always post a short clip of moving videos for you to get an idea of the plant along with dozens of pictures

[@80sforever3]

Still waiting to buy. She sold out fast when available. Not surprising

[@ruthonthecoast9401]

Hi Ben - I have a two year old GC that I just love. It is covered in gorgeous blooms. A question for you… it has grown a new cane that has hairy bits on the upper leaves and bunched up at the tip. I waited for awhile, but decided today to prune it back to a healthy 5 leaf set. I do have a photo but don’t know how to send that to you. Can you tell me what this might be and what to do about it? Thank you for your wonderful reviews!

[@SM-cn7ut]

I need it!! Can’t find where to buy in zone 5.

[@howard2031]

I just put this one out in front of my gate. Facing south in full sun. I'm hoping it really makes a statement.

[@annalisa29]

Ciao ! ..io sono indecisa sul prendere la golden celebration o graham thomas .... Dovrei farla arrampicare tra me e il vicino 😅 ... Hai suggerimenti per favore??? Grazie

[@createstuff7870]

Love your videos! Thank you for these individual reviews! What is the name of the clematis behind you?

[@doris2793]

Just planted this one in the middle of an arbor with Summer Song on either side training them to climb with purple bloomerange lilacs on either side and flowering lavender in front and back and will see how we do... should add if you have issues with deer snacking on your roses, for whatever reason they tend to leave yellow roses alone ... I will still spray with Bobbex but will see...

[@DilbarMahmudova-y5r]

❤❤❤

[@soniamitra9198]

Hi Ben can you do a review of Summer Song please

[@the_gardenerben]

That’s not a review I’m going to be able to help you with unfortunately that Rose has been removed from my collection due to poor health and its inability to hold its flowers

[@gracefulgrowing144]

I have read that t produces rose hips. Is that accurate? I have one that I planted last year in my garden. And it's just beautiful and just smells so divine.❤❤

[@the_gardenerben]

It hasn’t for me but that’s not to say it won’t

[@teslaandhumanity7383]

Have to google what 4 ft is in metric or

[@junogunbiyi7750]

Is it good for living in the hot weather?

[@the_gardenerben]

Yes this one enjoys the heat

[@udaymatthar1672]

Thank you so much for sharing... I can grow this rose in Indian tropical weather?? In mumbai? Looking foward to get few plants. I really love David Austin roses soo...😊

[@the_gardenerben]

You can certainly give it a go yes

[@everettedl]

Regarding fragrance, do cut flowers more accurately show how fragrant a rose is? It's often pretty warm and humid where I live (high temps in mid to upper 90sF) and I don't get the intensity that everyone raves about with Golden Celebration, despite having it for years. I figure maybe I should bring the blooms inside instead of keeping them on the bush?

[@the_gardenerben]

And it’s something is that you can try. It often takes a shrub, two or three seasons to show its full characteristics fragrance can be heavily changeable due to heat and rain conditions, and please don’t forget that we all smell things differently. Intense fragrances to one person may not smell at all to another.

[@everettedl]

@@the_gardenerben I think you're right. Maybe it's the tea fragrance that I can't smell that strongly. I have the same problem with Princess Alexandra of Kent, which also has a tea fragrance. I can smell it, but it's always mild to me.

[@vorong2ru]

​@@everettedlmy golden celebration isn't always fragrant. Try to sniff the newly open blooms on a sunny day.

[@Flowergrl69]

Mine just bloomed this season. I love it but I didn’t plant it in an optimal location. I’m learning

[@chrisharding2146]

Need to buy this rose! Are there any discount codes for DA this year?

[@the_gardenerben]

Not through me at the moment, I’m afraid, -sorry

[@K0sMose]

it's not supposed to exist

[@lotus....]

GC gets to 12 ft H x 10ft W easily, in Florida.

[@the_gardenerben]

Yours will be on a different graft out of Texas
