Your roses and their foliage always look so healthy Nik. Nostalgia is a very pretty especially the new flowers and I also like Sheila's perfume. Desdemona is a new rose for me and she's already flowering her socks off. I'm so pleased with her. Yours is looking amazing with all the flowers. I enjoyed working in my garden this afternoon as the temperature was just right. There were a couple of really hot days last week when I was wilting.

The foliage you see may be healthy Wendy, but there are bags full of deadheads and old and diseased leaves! On the whole I have been rather disappointed with many of my new roses this year compared with David Austin roses - although I know that in their second year some roses can change drastically, and of course the weather this year has been weird. I will need to think very carefully this autumn about which roses I want to keep and which perhaps to pass on. Yes, working in the garden is more pleasant again now that the hot weather is over.

Chandos Beauty should have been cut back as soon you noticed that stem growing downward instead upwards. I see new growth near at the base on that stem though, so right now, as it is still not too late (depends on where you live and how fast temps drops) I would cut all that hanging stem away and in that way you allow the new growth to speedy their chance to life. I have never encounter this issue to my Chandos Beauty and it looks like that stem was trying to reach some or even more sunlight and that might be one of the reasons or that stem was not strong enough due to a poor soil or not fed at the right time. Anyway, since I have discovered you, I always enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing your beauty and their issues.

Thanks for your comment and advice. As it happens, now that the (only) two flowers at the end of that stem have finished, and noticing that new growth (at last!) you mention from the base, I had today already followed (or perhaps it should be anticipated) your advice. But you're right, I should have foreseen the issue and done it before - the rose had been in the greenhouse over the winter months shortly after I bought it potted last autumn, so didn't lack light, and I was constantly expecting it to push out a vertical stem, but it didn't! Anyway, at least I got to see a couple of its beautiful blooms this month. Hopefully we will have decent enough heat and light levels over the next months to produce some new stems - and I have moved its pot to spot where it should get a good level of sunshine. I am actually based on the English/Welsh borders, the "Welsh Marches" as they are known.

What are your absolute favorite few out of all the roses you have? I know tough question.. Thanks 😊

Most people who see my garden think Alpine Sunset is the most beautiful rose, and I agree. Of course, it's a hybrid tea rose and it's really the beauty of the individual blooms that people rate with HTs, and you rarely get more than 3-4 blooms at a time. Desdemona has more flowers and they have a delicate, fragile beauty combined with a luminous, almost hypnotic white glow when seen against a darker background - and the flowers are held aloft above the rather sparse foliage and look great when ruffled by a breeze - I can stare at Desdemona for minutes on end when the conditions are right. Eustacia Vye is not a true beauty, but she is attractive in shape and colouring, however her real outstanding quality is the way she can flower and flower throughout the season. Lady of Shalott is prolific - and I like orange. Sweet Honey is an amazingly vigorous and prolific rose too. Of course, most of the roses shine at one time or another during the year when things come together for them, but these are the roses that shine most often!

You say you don't want to lose the Gabriel Oak stem Nik but what are you intending to do with come pruning time? As you've got so many beauiful roses and I couldn't possibly decided which one I like best if I were wanting to get another rose I shall just have to keep looking at yours. You make mention of rain, what's that? I've forgotten what it looks like here in Kent. I love your holiday home in the field. Airbnb with a conducted rose tour thrown in? Cheers! P.

I prefer the Airbnb to the portaloo cabin the farmer has had there in the past! I think we've had 3 lots of rain in the past 48 hours - cuts down on the watering. The Gabriel Oak stem will be ruthlessly cut back when the time comes!

How do you maintain your rose plants healthy without any black spots?

@nikkonch 5 ай бұрын

There are so many answers to this question. I have applied rose food (powdered fertiliser) twice this season. I have sprayed my roses with Roseclear twice this season. However, I do nevertheless get black spot on my roses, but I try to remove diseased leaves quickly and clear them from the garden. My roses are generally modern roses with good natural resistance to black spot - I am intending to get rid of one rose at the end of this year just because it is very prone to disease. I do try to prune and plant my roses so as to allow air to circulate inside the bushes and around them as much as possible. I have been lucky - the weather in my area has been mild much of the summer (under 20 degrees C / 68 F), so that disease which flourishes in hot, humid weather has been avoided. Since I live in the countryside, it is possible the air is cleaner. But whatever you do, as the season goes on, it is inevitable that black spot will be more of a problem, particularly on older, lower leaves. So the various factors are: chemical treatment, frequent pruning and deadheading, choosing disease-resistant roses, being lucky with the weather, and lack of air pollution. I think that luck is the most important factor, but the other factors make you more likely to be lucky! I do water the ground (or compost in the case of potted roses) that the roses are in almost daily but try to keep water off the leaves. The roses are mainly planted where they get sun for as much of the day as possible.

@@nikkonch thank you so much for your response. I learned a lot from you and still learning more from watching your videos. I‘m just starting my rose garden and needs to learn more. Thank you!
