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 🙂
Just beautiful
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 🙂
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, very helpful, thank you👍
Wow, this was great! This made it into my top three favorite videos that you have done
Great advice, thank you from West Virginia, USA, Rita
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.
The roses must smell wonderful! I'd like to see the hips in the Fall.
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.
Thank you for this video, excellent advice 👏 🌹
Wow what a garden so full of lovely roses ! Thank you for your informative interview, well worth watching.
Great video with lot of information! very helpful , thanks a lot!
NEIL AT HEVER CASTLE?! WHERE!!
Thank you for asking all the right questions! Beautiful gardens! Do you have Rosette fugus problems in the UK rose gardens ? it has taken several of my roses , such a shame, I feel I am losing to all these fugus plants can get ! It is disappointing
Thanks very much.
I rewatch and take notes, especially for a novice rose grower like me. Thank you Alexandra and Ian. Can’t wait for your next video.👍
Great questions. Great answers. 🌹👍
Loved this video, not just for the great tips on roses but also for the beautiful and inspiring garden that we get to see in it. Thanks for sharing💚
Thank you, this is so helpful. 🌹
Very useful tips 🌹🥀🌝👍
Where is your garden?
This was very helpful Thank you. Just about to plant a few new roses.
🌹
Excellent video. Very very informative and interesting. So much knowledge and wisdom here which I have never heard before. Forty years of wisdom here and I don't have that much time😂😂😂
I'm going to be watching this again. So much good information.
I’m watching a second time and realized the only roses with black spot were shaded by volunteer sunflowers. The growth was slower also. I can understand why many dedicated rose gardens don’t have perennials because it’s a lot more work to give roses the breathing room they need.
E doy mi aprobacion porque es una kastima que de un jardín tan bonito no podamos saber nada porque está solo en inglés, ni siquiera una traducción escrita😔
So much great info in this! Thanks!
I can smell the roses from here!
You can place a rose in same place plant rose in cardboard box full of old manure and soils .
The cardboard box re plant was my idea in 1960s . Told a reporter how i did save rose after planting on same site and displayed proof.With six weeks i had people tell me it was there idea .Or passed it on and every one in my valley in Cumbria knew that trick of mine
Wow! A great instructional interview and video!
The advice of Mr. Limmer is the answer I had been searching for about fertilizer.
Of course Google has said only fertilize in the Fall, but I will take the advise of a seasoned rose expert!
Thank you for this.
Taking notes the next time around.
❤
Finally – a down to earth rose expert with simple advice! As a beginner, I appreciate this! Thank you! I love your channel! 🌹

This garden is astounding in its beauty. Wow.I ADORE roses, but I don't dare plant any because I don't want to attract those horrid Japanese scarab beetles. I don't mind when insects do the odd munch, but those beetles are absolute gluttons, and I detest having to go to war.
❤
So beautiful! Roses are one of my favourites! I love them mixed with other flowers.
Witam, jestem zachwycona Pani kanałem , wspaniałe ogrody. Szkoda, że nie można wygenerować napisów w języku Polskim.
