🌹 UK Michael Marriott's Personal Perennial Garden Walking Tour // Shropshire, England

[@anneduigan4933]

My favourite sound! Wind blowing through the plants and trees.

[@sanniepstein4835]

It's loose and natural feeling, without being a weed patch. Very nice.

[@michelleb2304]

I love this garden. I have loved all of the gardens but personal gardens are a bit more special. Each rose and flower is there because it is chosen and loved by the gardener. Summer Song is glorious in a garden. You can tell it is very well loved and happy there. Maybe someday we'll get to give her a home in our gardens as well.

[@dollyperry3020]

I love it. I don't like overly formal gardens and the casualness of this garden is perfect!

[@olgavantveld6946]

I like all the nooks and crannies .I would like to explore this garden in real life. thanks for showing this

[@НадеждаБеляеаа]

Спасибо! Спасибо! Спасибо!

[@rose2fame1]

Lol…@2:57 you spot your favorite rose. Summer song. It is beautiful. I don’t have a David Austin rose yet. My zone is 10 b I believe. I really like Desdemona. I hope that if I get her that she will do well here on my patio in a big terra cotta pot. This is a beautiful garden.

[@mayarada2059]

Again , this is another beautiful garden and I truly enjoy watching to it , thank you .

[@sarmishthabanerjee1057]

Summer Song is my favorite too! I asked DA and they said this rose they won’t have in USA. Please talk to them so that bring this rose in US. 😊🌹

[@DouglasClegg]

Of all your recent tour videos this is my favorite because of the personal nature of the garden crossed with a top rose gardener. Thanks for creating and posting this. Also appreciate how much of a David Austin completist you are -- and general rosarian. Great information.

[@mythriftedhomeandgarden830]

I love the informality of the garden and profusion of plant plants everywhere! 😍

What a treasure box of a garden. Hope the experience was magical. The wind just made it seem like a singular creature ruffling it’s feathers.

What a picturesque garden. And I M.U.S.T H.A.V.E S.U.M.M.E.R S.O.N.G !!!!!!! Why don't we have Summer Song in the states (crying loud here) ?????

[@moonriver_.]

wowwwwww!!! been waiting for this!

[@melissatran338]

I usually don't like vibrant colored roses (like reds, coral/orange, or hot pinks) but Summer Song is so pretty and luscious! It'll be more beautiful when it's fading to a lighter peachy color. You made me laugh! You! A Rose Geek/Goddess with hundreds of roses (currently crying for your attention) but you were yearning for Summer Song. Just 1 more... Lol. We have the same "Rose Greed" symptom. I wish to have a bigger yard for more rose collection too. Thank you so much for all the garden visit videos. Really enjoy the journey with you. Can't wait to see more development of your Knot garden!!!

[@melissatran338]

@@TheRoseGeek Hope you can get Summer Song in 2025. But I don't think your garden will ever be "completed" bcz there'll be new roses every year LOL. But that makes gardening so exciting and fun... :)

[@jowalk80]

I think this is my favorite garden Kim. Why Summer Song isn’t available in the USA? It’s a gorgeous rose with an unique color.

[@m.isabelgil856]

Love the garden! 💕

[@carefreedelight2355]

Lovely film,: good for meditation; but a totally missed opportunity as you named very few of the roses and paid no attention whatsoever to the surrounding foliage that do really enhance the look of roses, some of which may be leggy and others that are more bushy. Still, I am glad you had such a great time, and you also enabled us to join you in your rose reverie! Thank you.

[@gardeningbyheart4912]

Could you not purchase and bring Summer Song back with you? Loved the bamboo tunnel.

[@hey_court12]

@@TheRoseGeek i think it's really hard to bring plant material into another country. it's possible, i think-- but requires permits and legal legwork that is very timely and expensive. but maybe there is a loophole ? or a way to be sneaky with a cutting?

[@Bow-to-the-absurd]

Probably need a plant passport

[@ckclarinet]

Just catching up on this series! Did Michael Marriott provide an explanation why some UK varieties will never be brought to the US? I would love a Dame Judy Dench (for the name alone)

[@ckclarinet]

@@TheRoseGeek so sad!! Researching how to graft these babies 🤓

[@calittlegarden-3311]

Do you know what is the white rose climbing up to the house?

[@hey_court12]

I'm laughing at your spotting of Summer Song. It's prettier than I thought it would be! how would you describe the color ( at least in his garden) in real life? is it what you thought it would be? better? my favorite DA rose is still Jude the Obscure. But I finally got Spirit of Freedom, so we'll see! I'm on the hunt for CHARLES RENNIE MACKINTOSH whom i thought had been discontinued but the DA website says it will be back for 2023 >.< My garden is really struggling this year though. It has been the hottest so early that I can ever remember, and all of my roses are struggling to pull off their second flush. and I've lost 3 roses already :( Not my best gardening year. battling boarers and leaf cutting bees, too.

[@melissatran338]

I agree with you. Love most of DA roses but Jude is now my favorite--the beautiful pale peachy color and intoxicating fragrance! So divine. Used to like Evelyn but Jude is better and more prolific too. I couldn't get SOF rose. But CRM is also beautiful! An older DA rose. I'd love to get the Lilac Rose but it's discontinue. It's so gorgeous and smell very good too. One day I wish Mr Austin Jr or his team will create a scented lavender rose! Good luck to you next season!!! :)

[@hey_court12]

@@melissatran338 I LOVE lavender roses too so I sure hope they will someday! Wouldn't that be so beautiful? For now though, Poseidon is my absolute best performing lavender rose. I lost Neptune ( hybrid tea) and one of my two Koko Loko roses, so I'm down a few lavender roses now. Room for more!

[@hey_court12]

@@TheRoseGeek in some photos/videos I've seen of Summer Song its very orange-y and some it appears more red orange-y. Those are two no go colors in my garden but in this video she looked a little more BRIGHT coral. I hope you get Summer song eventually, Kimberley! Even if as you say you have to wait until the patent is up in 2025!

[@melissatran338]

​@@hey_court12 Love Jude too. Almost gave it up then it started blooming--then nonstop since.Wedgewood and Claire bloom a lot too. I love Poisedon. Took me a few years to finally got them. Trying to get "Blue for You" but no luck! I missed Charles R. M this year/Out of stock :( and was told Spirit of Freedom is discontinued from DA :( Mine is struggling too bcz it's so hot this year. I lost 5 DA roses too. Good luck next year Can't wait for April & May. Most glorious months of the year for me :)

[@hey_court12]

@@melissatran338 May is a glorious month for roses where i live! i'm excited to see how everyone grows. I got my Spirit from Heirloom, and I cant remember if they'll continue stocking it or not. I had to wait a LONG time for it to be available own root. I was able to snag Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Jubilee Celebration for preorder for 2023! I'll keep my eye out for Blue for You!

Ironic that Michael Marriott lists four American species roses as among his favorite roses, yet those roses are almost unknown to American gardeners, rose gardeners included.

Great catch! I am dying to see them in person.
