How to create a beautiful container pond
Thank you for this video, excellent advice 👏 🌹
A great video. I wish I knew the name of the paint colour on the cottage front door at 5.07 minutes - and the fence railing at 6.31 minutes. It's just what I am looking for.
Good point❤
It's illegal here to have chickens or ducks. 😢
Thanks for sharing! Could you please share some tips for smaller border which is less than a meter? As you’ll appreciate majority of people don’t have the luxury of 2-3 meters wide border.
The roses must smell wonderful! I'd like to see the hips in the Fall.
I've seen bees going into double-flowered roses (and there were plenty of alternative singles of many varieties around) so while it may not be ideal, it certainly doesn't appear to be off limits. :)
Our garden is only 3 years old, and creating archways and pergolas for the gardens is high on our list of to-dos. So great advice here. Thank you so much.
Great advice, thank you from West Virginia, USA, Rita
Wow, this was great! This made it into my top three favorite videos that you have done
Great, very helpful, thank you👍
👍👍
Every time I watch your videos, I get inspired. They are always full of helpful tips and ideas. Love walking through your beautiful garden with you. What a wonderful story about the wild gladioli. That's a true treasure to inherit.
Hi Alexandra. Love your videos which are so helpful. I wonder if you can help me, or at least a friend of mine who has the most beautiful garden which she's tended lovingly for over 30 years. She's now discovered that she has root aphids in her garden which is horrendous as there is such a huge number of them, in every plant in every corner. She's tried asking experts but is not really getting any good advise. She has applied a type of poison which she was told would work, but without success and is so upset that she has always gardened organically and now has applied a chemical which could have an impact on all other insect life but no impact on the root aphids. She has lost a number of plants, some as old as 25 years and others 5 years etc. Is there anything at all you could recommend as at this stage she's so despondent and upset at seeing this blight in her garden?
Great video - Loved learning more about roses, which I absolutely adore. I was hoping for some information on growing roses in large, (60cms) pots. the info on blackspot was very useful and also hoe to plant a rose for healthy established growth. Thank you again. Happy gardening 🙂
Just beautiful
Love your interviews Alexandra...you always find such interesting, experienced & helpful people from the horticultural world. And what a rose garden that is! I was especilaly interested in Ian Limmer's experience and thoughts on blackspot. It seems that keeping a rose well nourished helps minimise the impact. For me, I always love to see traditional English lavender companioned with roses :)
This was an excellent and extremely informative interview! Thank you Alexandria!
No matter how experienced as a head gardener I am, I always learn a lot with your videos. Absolutely grateful 😊
Thank you so much!
"Oh and a potato 🥔 " 😂😂😂
I planted some Green alkanet the other day from the hedge
Also valerian !
I am new at this. Obelisk, do you place it over the rose when it’s young, like a tomato cage, or do you plant the rose in front of it?
Personally, I'd place it over the rose when young. But I think you could do either.
Excellent video. He makes rose care uncomplicated. Beautiful!
Thank you very much!
So practical! And helpful..thank you ❤
Glad it was helpful!
The mystery between rambler and climber is solved! Thank you! Glorious garden! Wonderful rose man!
Thank you!
Sarah Raven recommends salvias as companion plants for roses because they release sulphur that limits the black spot fungus. Do you have any experience of that?
I don't but she's very experienced and I have been thinking of trying it. Though I suspect you still have to feed the roses properly
It's a lovely garden❤ Life with flowers will enrich your heart😊
Oh my!!! What a gem of a post this is !! Alexandra, you are a genius in covering very important garden topics and asking all the questions I have in mind and I’m sure all the others too.. THANK YOU!!❤❤
Glad it was helpful!
Hello, if I were to plant hydrangeas from seeds, how long should I expect them to start blooming?
Excellent advice. Thankyou
That was so helpful, and really interesting. great tips too. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Again such a wonderful video. (And I’m not even that much into roses…). I could listen to your interviews/ videos for hours, which is quite exceptional. Thanks so much. Greetings from Germany! :-).
Thank you so much!
Perfect ! Amazing. Thank you.
Thank you too!
Sarah Raven planting salvia near roses prevents blackspot
Yes, although I haven't tried it myself. But I think you'd still have to feed to get the best results as roses are very 'hungry' plants
Thank you, beautiful video with great information.
Glad it was helpful!
I love all the people you find to interview. So much great info. Thank you!
Glad you like them!
Oh wow, thanks for the tip. I was planning on digging up a rose taken over by Dr Huey & plant a new one i received in the same hole. It has been there a year & probably eaten up the nutrients. I will dig out old soil & replace with new before planting my new rose.
Glad it was helpful!
What a magnificent garden. Ian’s enthusiasm is addictive🌺
It really is!
🩷🤗 🌹
Excellent video, very informative !
Thank you!
@@TheMiddlesizedGarden Most welcome. Thank you for all your work !
I knew you had to change the soil if you planted a new rose in an old ones position, but wasn’t sure of how much soil. Very helpful thanks
I thought that was so interesting!
You had me at "two acre rose garden". What a feast for the eyes, and I imagine the fragrance was intoxicating. Lucky you! Great tips! With more feeding and our big California rain this year, my first blush of blooms was wonderful. Summer heat has just started. I've deadheaded everything, and will feed again. As noted below, my worst enemy now are the rose slugs AKA saw fly larvae. They are horrible this year; roses that had beautiful green foliage in early May, are now half bare. I gave the birds a chance to eat them, but have found an organic treatment, and will give it a try. After I remove all of the lacy dead leaves. Ugh. :(
Hope it works!
Did he really mean literally you put the box into the ground and then new soil and the rose into the box 🤔?
Yes…the box rots away
Yes, the rotting cardboard is good for the soil
Wow, thank you for this. I’m going to watch again and take notes. So much helpful information
Thank you!
What an amazing garden! I’m so jealous! Dear me! 🥴 I have an old red velvety rose that my grandad planted in 1950. It’s still going but every year it gets some black spot. It doesn’t care about it, I just pick the leaves off, the rose flowers themselves are huge and gorgeous smelling! You can’t beat a truly old rose🌹
It sounds beautiful!
@Alexandra, could you ask for some variëties of the new rambler roses that are more long flowering, as he briefly mentioned? A lovely episode as always. Kind regards from Amsterdam. 🌿👒🌹🐦
Every Spring I have the rose debate with myself...to plant or not to plant? I so want to have roses all over my gardens, but the Japanese beetles, powdery mildew, and thorns are just too much of a battle for me, sadly. Thank you for this wonderful tutorial, Alexandra. I'll be rewatching this for my 2025 debate for sure! Maybe the "to plant" side will win? The advice about the box is brilliant!
Good luck with the next debate!
You are the best at interviewing; great questions, and no interrupting your guests. Great video
he should have been interrupted to explain the cardboard box. It's usually recommended to block nematodes for a while . I wonder if anyone has tested this scientifically.
Thank you. The use of cardboard in planting is quite common here (and well tested) - a lot of people make borders by laying cardboard over weeds or lawn, then adding compost on top. The cardboard rots away within about 3-5 months, so it will work in the same way in this box method.
@TheMiddlesizedGarden thank you. I wasn't worried about the cardboard box not decomposing. I was just pointing out the gentleman in the video brought up this method in the context of nutrient deficits while more comprehensive explanation should have mentioned the idea of blocking pathogens by the walls of the box until the young rose establishes itself. Anyway, I love your videos. Keep up the good work.
What MAGNIFICENT garden ! This man knows his stuff ! Very interesting and informative !
