Newly bloomed roses | Flowering cuttings | David Austin | Kordes | Adorable Parfuma

Hello garden lovers, I hope you're well. Well today is Father's Day. Happy Father's Day to all you dads out there. I hope you have a really, really good day. I hope you get spoiled. We are going to look at some flowers that are blooming very nicely today, starting with my hot border here with all those vibrant colours. This one here we were looking at earlier, this one is a rose called Heidi Glum, named after the supermodel. Very healthy, a short rose. It's only one metre, one feet tall. Really, really vibrant magenta purple colour there. Moving on to another rose that is my top of the list. This is Montsteadwood, a discontinued David Austin rose. Not known for its health, but for its beauty, the colour, it's so amazing. Very, very good rose. Unfortunately, not that healthy. And we have some daylilies that are about to open. Some Astromeria. This particular vibrant orangey-red one is called Indian Summer. Some more back there. I've planted a climbing rose here. This is a rose called Sympathy. I got this as part of a collection from Jay Parker, so it was not very expensive at all. Not one of my favourites because I've just planted it here for its pop of colour. Some more lilies and some vibrant clematis. Now this one here, I will show you later. This is Lime Renaud. I might have got a cutting, I'm not sure. But this is one that's also known as the anniversary rose in some countries. But yeah, this is my potted rose that I got from East Croft Roses. Really, really gorgeous. Moving along to some more clematis. And I think I've got some Cocosmia lucifer. Very tall, very tall, very tall plant. Some gems and cosmos. Really good colour combo there. This is Dahlia Poo, as in Winnie the Pooh. And this one here is my first ever bloom of Delightful Perfumer. I got this about a month or so ago. And this one was the last perfumer that I got. I held out getting this because I heard it balls up and also the blooms are so heavy it droops. I can see why now, now that I've grown it. So hopefully it might improve with age. Yeah, but it's a very healthy plant though. I can't knock it for that. But still, it balls up in rain. But we are due for some really good sunshine in the next couple of weeks. So yeah, let's see. What else is there in here? Let's have a look. Oh, we've got some, what do you call it, Honka Dahlias. Really good there. So that is my pot border. As I was saying about the Anniversary Rose earlier, Lime Renaud, also Sweet Parfum de Provence, it's called the Anniversary Rose. But this one I got from B&Q. It's also called the Anniversary Rose, which is really confusing. But as you can see, they're very, very different blooms. This is, yeah, very, very lovely. Not a standout bloom, as in it doesn't, the rose itself is not very unique, but I just thought I'd show it to you. I'll show you another Anniversary Rose now, just to confuse you even more. So we have here another one called Anniversary Rose, but this one is called Special Anniversary. That's a Special Anniversary Rose. So this one is like a coral pink in colour. It says very fragrant. Let me just smell it. Wow, it is very fragrant. Really strong fragrance, actually. It's very strong old rose fragrance. Yeah, that is good for fragrance. Quite a short rose. I've had it for about two years. And yeah, it does look very, very different to the other two Anniversary Roses. But so I thought I'd just give you, you know, a look at a comparison between all the three so you don't get confused when you're buying that particular rose. So this one is called the Special Anniversary Rose. Hybrid tea and super fragrant. So I have my potted roses here. Some of them are on their second flush and taking a break. But let me show you this one, which has opened yesterday. Look at that bloom. How gorgeous is that? Let me see whether you can pick out some orange tones in there. This is a discontinued rose called Benjamin Britton. Really, really good fragrance. I did think one year it was covered in black spot and I really didn't like it. But wow, this year has really bounced back. Gorgeous. This rose is not known for its health, but really, like with the other Bunstead wood, it is known for its beauty. Very, very unique watermelon colour with the, I'm not sure whether you can pick it out, a yellow, a lighter centre in there. Beautiful rose. So this is Benjamin Britton. Another rose that's just opened, this really ruffled one here with a darker edging. This is called Rose Souvenir Barden Barden. It looks like it's a hybrid tea. Let me just smell the fragrance. Yes, it also has a good fragrance as well. I've only got one bloom from this at the moment and a couple of them on the way. Really ruffled, ruffled blooms and quite sturdy petals. I think this one would be quite a long lasting flower. And yeah, just to show you some gorgeous Penelope Lively's here, doing super, super great. Planted only bare root last autumn. That is one pretty, pretty bush. Look at that. At the first year, my other Penelope Lively was very droopy. This year is also droopy, but not so much. And very, very prolific. It looks like it's improving, hopefully year on year. Wow, this rose is so covered in buds. And I know JJ recently done a boxing for this rose. This rose is Adorable Perfumer, also known as Carmen Worth. The weather has been quite good to these blooms, but the previous blooms were quite rain damaged. A little bit like the brownish edge there. We had a few blooms which I've deadheaded away now, but look at that. This is the spray here is from one single stem. There's another spray here. That's from another stem, but this is all these blooms. It's from two stems. My goodness, and has good fragrance as well. Look at that. Gorgeous. There's also other names for this. It's called Catherine Medici and another name is Eau D'Eau D'Amour. Probably the smell of love, maybe it translates too. So many names, but we know this as Adorable Perfumer. And have a quick look. Oh, I have a super healthy cane from my favourite meal on the floss. That is meal on the floss. And yeah, doing really, really well. I just want to get in here and show you. Look at that. The colour just zings, just pops. This is a new one for me this year, planted bare root. Oh, I've got some more buds down there as well. This is Fir Elise. I think it's bred by Cordes, but wow, how prolific is that? Gorgeous colour. I'll just give it a little smell. Yeah, a medium fragrance, not super fragrant, but wow, the flowers, the colour, really, really beautiful colour. Let me just show you also, the buds are a bit rain damaged. We had so much wind while this was developing. This is my self-made tree rose. Let me just show you from the other side. This is my standard tree rose of Chandos Beauty. Look at that. Lots and lots of buds on this. I'm very happy with my self-made tree rose. Gorgeous, gorgeous bloom. Right here, I'm going to show you some of my cuttings. These are my cuttings area where I store these cuttings, where they can develop without being disturbed. Quite a self-sheltered location here. So this is just a few of them, but let me show you my flowering runs. The ones that are in bud and about to be identified. This red one, I'm not sure which one it is. It might be that climbing red rose we saw earlier. And this one here, I think would be Lime Renaud because I loved it so much. I got a cutting from my brother's garden and then I went and bought a bare root. And because I didn't think I'd see a bud this year from the bare root, I went and bought a potted rose. So this is how much I love it. So this would be my third Lime Renaud or called Sweet Parfum de Provence. Moving on to a white one here. Not quite sure what it is until it blooms. It could be, I think, Tranquility. And this one here, very torn lanky. It's a giveaway already. It is a climber. This is a David Austin Pilgrim. Another David Austin one here, which I think is Judy Dench, but I'm not 100% sure because I don't have this flower, this plant. But yes, I don't have it. And yeah, I'm hoping it is either Port Sunlight or Judy Dench. And this is from my garden this year. Look how pretty that bloom is. How gorgeous this is. And very unique. You may have recognized this already. This is Distant Drums. This is from my own garden. And I managed to get a cutting from it. Really, really gorgeous. Really nice, vagrant, strong, sturdy, healthy rose. And another one that I've got a cutting from. This is last year's release from David Austin. This is Emma Bridgewater. Look at those tones. Really, really gorgeous tones and beautiful arrangement of petals there and good fragrance. This Emma Bridgewater is a cutting from my own plant. And my brother's already reserved this one. Moving on to another cutting that I have, which my brother really recommended in his previous video, his top 10 David Austins. A very, very tall, vigorous plant. You can see how long the stems are. I'm not sure if I have room for this cutting, even though I got it now. I already have one in the ground. So this might be going to another family member. But all these cuttings are, this is only the 20% success rate. I will show you a video later in the year and how I take these cuttings. But let me show you just quickly how it starts off. So I put all these prunings, there's no particular skill in it, but the soil is very, very important. It has to be a very sandy soil, which I use pure John Innes number three. Some people just use sand. But as you can see, there's a lot of dieback already. Like I said, I, you just put them in and you just fingers cross and hope for the best. So this is stage one. Some of them are died off already. Some of them are growing. So the growing ones, the next stage would be to take it out all out of its pot, this pot here, and have the ones with roots in a shared pot like this. And now this time, it would be half John Innes and half multipurpose compost. So the roots have some nutrients to grow. So this is would be the second stage. And the third stage is the ones that are vigorous, say like this one would eventually end up in a pot like this on its own. This is a mix of John Innes compost, multipurpose, and also a bit of granular feed as well. Just a light granular feed. Like I said, this is just a 20% success rate. No particular skill in this, but give it a go, you might end up with a bloom like this. Okay, we're just going to look at finally some roses in this yellowish orangey bed. This one is called Meteor. It starts very, very light yellow, and then it does get to a darker orange when the bloom matures. Very, very healthy rose. I think a Rose of the Year recently. That is called Meteor. Another Rose of the Year here is called Lady Marmalade. Very, very thorny. Very nice coral peach rose. And then we have a Cordes rose here, very strong. That is Sunny Sky. Let me finish this video with a rose that is one of the most beautiful I think. This is Rose Lady Emma Hamilton, and I've got this really lovely new cane here I'm so pleased with, and also another one down there. Very, very happy with this rose this year. Good growth, gorgeous, gorgeous blooms, very dark buds, and very good citrus floral fragrance. So I hope you enjoyed this video. I hope you have a lovely day, and I hope to see you again soon.
