Simply gorgeous and very well manicured garden!

[@EnlightenmentGarden]

Thanks so much!

In November ‘23 I planted my first rosebush in the Phoenix metro after seeing two other homes in my neighborhood. I hope th Hot Cocoa and Doris Day make it through this summer! Great video.

[@EnlightenmentGarden]

Thanks so much!

[@twoshoes2663]

Awesome video ! Very informative video.

[@EnlightenmentGarden]

Thank you!

I purchased an Ingrid Bergman and fragrant cloud and so they are placed by the mailbox and they are thriving but the blooms have not disappointed at all! We don’t get over 102* but they haven’t been phased by our heat here in Utah.

[@EnlightenmentGarden]

Wonderful varieties! Great to hear they are doing well for you.

[@franciscorico6592]

I love your rose garden and so this year I planted my mom 26 new roses bare root. I planted a few of the ones you have because she loves Hybrid Tea lol she’s not a fan of the other type but the one she loves is JFK and Mr Lincoln but the one she’s excited to see is the Arizona Hybrid Tea rose and i think would look beautiful in your collection

[@EnlightenmentGarden]

Thank you! Fantastic that you took that project on for your mom; it surely will be a beautiful rose garden! We picked up many of the roses years back from Ludwigs off Central in Phoenix and a number were South African varieties. Arizona has beautiful colors and sounds like an excellent fragrance to boot. Great choice!

@@EnlightenmentGarden yes in deed! Her dream was to have a beautiful garden of roses and stoned fruit trees but when she divorced my dad in ‘96 my mom had to take her 5 kids on her back and worked endlessly and never had any time to do the garden she always wanted, she has planted the several roses but that’s it, due to her arthritis and broken disc she hardly has the strength to do much in the yard so I’m making that dream true so by the time she retires she will have a beautiful rose garden. She loves the giver of hope that you have because of its bushy form and the yellow but I did email the that grower to see if they ship to the us.

Spiced Coffee look like Koko Loko. Beatiful video. Pd. It seems very strange to me that you have included a guitar theme from a Spanish movie, the song is called Theme of Love, sung by Rafael and is easily 50 or more years old. Many greetings from your neighbor in Surprise

[@EnlightenmentGarden]

It sure does! Thanks!

[@franciscorico6592]

It looks like the Marylin Monroe rose

Hey Natasha! Gorgeous rose garden. Looks wonderful. Quick question, the light green colored tubing structure over your rose bed, is that PVC? I have decided to try a new approach to keeping birds and squirrels from my peach trees. The netting I"ve used is just too much of a pain to drape over the tree and to then remove it at the end of the season. So I am thinking about putting up a light weight structure that I can cover with some type of shade cloth - maybe a 40% ? Thanks - Michael

[@EnlightenmentGarden]

Thanks so much, Michael! The structure is 3/4" EMT. I go into detail in my summer video from last year (Summer Shade Cloth and Sunscreen for Garden / Trees in a Hot Climate). A canopy store will have the flat corner fittings and your big box store sells the pipe. Super easy to put up and take down if needed and holds up to the wind. PVC will only last a year where as this will last many. Another option to try is an inflatable dancing tube blower figure you can get on Amazon. I've heard they are very effective here to scare off the wildlife from eating fruit for a large space but would only work for creatures in the daylight. Happy spring!

[@neurocognitive]

@@EnlightenmentGarden Thanks Natasha. Now that you mention it, I do recall your previous video from last year. I will have to give it a re-look. I got a good chuckle out of the inflatable dancing tube blower figure!! I know you were being serious, but the image in my head made me laugh. You're right about the PVC. I use PVC for my tomato garden, but take it down after the growing season is over and store it out of the elements. The EMT would allow me to not have to take it down each year. How are your mango trees doing?

[@EnlightenmentGarden]

@@neurocognitive We got some hail out of nowhere in March that took everything a few steps back but the mango trees are starting to push growth again and will be growing like crazy with the consistent heat. Lesson learned last year; shade cloth is already up for my sensitive plants like the avocados.

[@neurocognitive]

Wow! You got some hail. That can definitely set you back a bit. Shade cloth is very important - especially for young avocado trees in the Arizona heat and intense sun. I have a Santa Clara Gold coming from Epicenter Nursery sometime next week. Can't wait! Take Care

[@-ssch]

Can you tell me what is that you are spraying for thrips @ 7:16 ? I tried neem spray and garlic/neem spray but it is burning leaves even I spray after 7pm which is 2 weeks ago.

[@EnlightenmentGarden]

Neem does burn leaves and not very effective with roses. During the warm months, I use Captain Jack's Dead Bug Brew. It's organic and contains spinosad. It never burns leaves. If you check out the description, I have a link to a video I specifically did on controlling thrips on the roses.

[@mrd5963]

Any recommendations for aphids or would you also use Captain jacks?

[@-ssch]

@@EnlightenmentGarden thank you

[@EnlightenmentGarden]

@@mrd5963 Spraying the bushes down with soap and water usually does the job for aphids. I use 1 TBSP dish soap per gallon of water. The Captain's Jack DeadBugBrew is targeted for aphids also so if you are dealing with other common rose pests it may be your best bet. The experts recommend switching between applications of spinosad and another formula like insecticidal soap so bugs don't develop resistance to the spinosad.

[@JiaPRiX]

What’s your watering schedule in the summer?

[@EnlightenmentGarden]

In summer, they get watered 3 times a day (6am 11am, and 4pm). Each rose bush is on 3 x 3 GPH bowsmith emitters and gets about 1 gallon of water at each session or 3 gallons daily in the worst heat. Right now, they are getting about half of that water volume with our high temps in the mid-90s.
