Rose of Sharon "bushes to trees", 3 years later

[@rosiegold8562]

Wow! Beautiful garden! Terrific job!

[@changingtheworldonelifeatt2949]

I love irises. I have some beautiful (smallish) dark purple ones that I got from my grandmother many years ago. They probably belonged to her mother.... Amazing how plants connect us... Wisteria always reminds me of Grandma #1 because she had several shrubs in her yard. I gave Grandma #2 some hyacinths many years ago. After they finished blooming I offered to plant them in her yard so she could enjoy them from her kitchen window, but she insisted, “No, you take them so you will have them to remember me by.” Days later, She unexpectedly died and a year after that, when I was going through a really rough time, I happened to come home one day for lunch and saw “her” hyacinths blooming in my yard for the first time. Of course I immediately thought of my Grandmother. Thanks for the memories. ❤️

It's Beautiful! The birds are happy 😊 Rose of Sharon are lovely. They bring hummingbirds ❤

So beautiful... I just started my garden and can’t wait to try some from your videos. You’re an inspiration!

Every time I see your garden, it's so inspiring - all this joyful color! I just love that.

Beautiful! I have three rose of Sharon topiaries thanks to you! They are doing great!

[@truthofthematter9409]

Oh my goodness, I can only imagine having a garden like yours! Absolutely gorgeous!

[@marciloni12]

Absolutely gorgeous!!!😮 😂 I bought a dying cleome hassleriana, from a clearance rack and 20 years later, I was still trying to get rid of it or control it. They would even grow in between my patio stones. I planted a Red Pillar Rose of Sharon this year.❤

Very good gardener ☝🖐💤💫💥atsuuup 👍

[@katiemoyer8679]

Rose of Sharon is a sturdy, industrious and beautiful plant, at least here in grow zone 6b. Last year, I was intending to plant tumeric in some smaller plastic grow bags. Set the bags up with dirt, however became unwell…for the entire summer..& the dirt filled bags just sat where I abandoned them. This spring, Something had started growing in them, but it was Not Turmeric. Turns out my neighbors Rose of Sharon opportunistically used my grow bags for a nursery. I’ve now about a hundred bags of Beautiful Rose of Sharon plants that are doing just fine, entirely unattended ..lol. So much for My turmeric plans. Now, what to do with This wealth 💁🏻‍♀️perhaps a future property border. 😂 .Your garden is Lovely. Great job! 👌

[@lindalagarce8996]

How beautiful! I have the same flowers building my rose garden but have kept them separated, but not I will combine them! Gorgeous! Thank you for sharing hugs and love from Texas!

[@timarnzen4900]

Thanks. The rose garden additions sure surprised me. I weed eat the iris and daylillies down to the nub and they come back strong in the spring. Very easy. Very time saving and more attractive rose garden in spring. You might give it a try. I loved living in Texas for a few years while forestry school in nacodoches

Love your Cleome flowers! I grow in zone 8b, Washington state. My research says that Cleome are perennial on only zone 10&11. What zone do you grow in? You commented that you planted your seeds years ago & they return each year. I am hoping my research is wrong, because I would love for them to be perennial in my garden! Thank you! Your gardens are beautiful♥️♥️

[@misery2375]

I love your videos! Can you make one about how to propagate a Rose of Sharon and how long it takes to get them in the ground? I saw you had a few in pots in one of your videos. I'm learning and your expertise is much sought after! Thank you.

[@jcking6785]

Your gardens are so lovely! (It’s hard to realize when you’re filming but moving the camera around as quickly as one does one’s eyes makes for a dizzying video which is hard for some of us to watch)! You have piqued my interest in Rose of Sharon standards and I may try to do that myself; I have been successful with hydrangeas.

[@lucy301983]

I really like the tree shaped rose of Sharon and you have so many nice ones, how long does it take to grow to 1meter tall tree?

[@timarnzen4900]

Depends on several things All plants take a years or two to get settled in. If you start with a 1 foot tall sapling at the end of two growing seasons it should be 1 meter. from that stage on it becomes a matter of pruning to slow the growth to shape it how you want it. Good luck

[@ksero1000]

It will be so awesome if I can get these to grow higher than my shed so they can be seen from the front. 😃

[@j.shawnfelten-green8558]

I recommend you do a video on just shrubs especially the gold colored ones that I think you said in one of your videos you could not remember their names. Anyway, you have a beautiful garden and keep up the good work! 😊

[@petgpstrackingcollarreview588]

I had to dog up 3 Rose of sharon bushes becasue neighbor is building fence. What is the best way to store them in winter to keep them alive a few weeks until they can be replanted?

[@christinaannabel]

Thank you for sharing. I will add that Rose of Sharon trees require sun most of the day; otherwise, the entire plant will lean toward the light. (Speaking from personal experience.)

[@lorislusarz5336]

I hope you get this message! The red trees/shrubs in this video are amazing. I just moved and had a few trees installed, and now I am ordering shrubs. Could you please share with me the name/s of your red trees and/or shrubs. I know what I love in gold tones, but haven't set my cap on any particular reds. Thank you!

[@pamelasprings6723]

The red shrubs looked like barberry to me.

I took the prunings from my pink chiffon and trying to root them...also saved some seeds and hoping to grow from seed but just wondering if they come true to parents..???

Nothing from seeds comes true to parents. All cuttings are clones, thus true to parent that’s my story and I’m stikin to it

My 3 cuttings from pink chiffon doing good also but slow, the leaves are out on it.

[@laurafitzgerald7963]

Hi! Love your channel. After watching several of your videos were going to try and do some work on our 2-year-old Lavendar Chiffon Rose of Sharon. My husband is wondering about your stone edges. What are they and how big are they? They are exactly what he is wanting. Thanks so much!

[@iartistdotme]

So happy to see your garden! I don't normally like the knockout roses (I call them pretend roses) but they way you have them with the other spring bloomers is really a knockout to look upon. Changed my mind! I see you have the blue hibiscus - been wanting to try it. Yours look so beautiful as small trees. The star in summer is really them combined with the cleome which is gorgeous! I need to try them in my north central FL garden near Gainesville. So glad you posted the update.

[@timarnzen4900]

I do like the combo a lot and should get better with age

[@tlovesgreens8244]

What zone do you garden in? Was curious to know because you said to prune them in the fall.

[@timarnzen4900]

TLovesGreens zone 6b. I finished my pruning 1 week ago. Works out great. Most ros had lost all blooms. A few hadn’t. but once begun I wanted to complete job. Leaves are already turning

FYI, swinging your camera around wildly makes this difficult and unpleasant to watch. You should try to film more carefully, you'd probably get more views.
