Rose Border Cleanup - Before and After - Plus a List of ALL the Roses I Grow

Come on a walk-through of our 22-year-old rose borders full of antique roses and some David Austin varieties. I'll show you what's good, what's bad (and there's a lot), what needs done right now, and what I'm doing about it--basically a before and after of my early summer cleanup.
After a very cold winter here in 2023/2024 in zone 5b northwest US, the roses got hit pretty hard, even though they're well established. There's a LOT of cleanup to do, and some serious rehab/rose ICU needed to get the weaker ones up to better health going into autumn here.
See below for a full list of the roses we have here in 2024, which have all survived since we started planting them on our property in 2002-2004 and beyond, in the order you would meet them if you walked along our rose borders and through the main rose beds. Scroll all the way to the bottom to see our favorite Amazon products for use around the house and garden.

Thank you for sharing. That is exciting that a dead rose came back to life!

Thanks for watching! That is the third time I've had an own-root rose come back after dying back to the ground. I was so glad to see it recover 😃
