Heirloom Roses (So Many Gorgeous Varieties!) | The Southerner's Garden

Hi everyone, welcome back to Heirloom Roses. I was here last year and visited because I'm a brand ambassador for Heirloom Roses because they sell great own root roses and they're very healthy and they test for viruses and all this other stuff so the rose that you're getting shouldn't have any issues. We are at the fields of Heirloom Roses so if you're new to the channel I would recommend you go back and watch last year too. I'm going to take some drone footage this year and share as well but it's just a beautiful, I don't know how many acres this is, but there's hundreds of varieties of roses here. We're going to take a close-up of a few. I had a little piece of paper. I'm going to be finding a few that I ordered this year so if you are interested in seeing what they look like in person. Some of them I won't be seeing tomorrow but I'll try and get some footage and put them in the video and the names that way you can know what they look like in person because it's always different than seeing them in pictures on the screen. I kind of like to know the habit of a rose when I'm picking one out so I know what I can plant around it and we're just going to take a look right quick over some of these. Let's get started. So this one right here that's not quite budded or bloomed out. It's fun in the sun but there is like look how many buds this is covered. There's one bloom it looks like on all of these plants right here that's really nice looking and look at this color. I love that. So that perfectly pale pink orange yellow that I have very roughly and I think it's going to be a really great one. So I planted this one I think I planted it up front in the front bed so it'll be really nice. Just love how covered up in blooms these are. Here's a beautiful pink. This is Boscobel. I had Boscobel in my last garden and I really loved it but I've not added it to my new garden yet. I like to use this opportunity here at Heirloom Roses to pick varieties and make lists for things that I want for next year which is really nice because I get to see them in person. Let's keep looking. I want to show you James Galway. There's a huge one over there that I showed you last year but this is a new section of the mother plants where they get cuttings and things from and so a lot of the plants here and where I'm at now in this D section were not blooming last year when we came because they were so small. So it's nice to see how pretty and how much these have progressed in only a year from not blooming it almost at all last year to being just really covered up in blooms. So we can walk through here. I'll just share some footage as we're walking. All these are organized by variety so they're organized in line certain row numbers and then certain variety numbers front to back so it's easy to find them in the garden by where their numbers are located. This one's really nice. Then you kind of have to dig around for the tag. Let's see. This is Louis Clemens actually. So this one is in my garden I planted. So this was one of the roses bred by one of the original founders of heirloom roses, the Clements. Beautiful orange. And I think it's Louise Clemens but my little dachshund's name is Louis so I sometimes say Louis instead of Louise. This looks like James Galway just based on how progressed it is right here. I'm gonna guess it's definitely James Galway. Such a vigorous rose if you need to cover an arbor or anything on your trellis or deck or something. It's really beautiful. Let me take a look and confirm but I'm like 100% sure this is probably James Galway. So yes this was definitely James Galway. I'll stand back here. I'm wondering how many they have planted here. So let's three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. So there's 10 in a row. It looks like I have 11 planted so my hedge is going to look pretty much like this. It's much, these are several years it looks like established. Let me find a good bloom. It does produce a ton of blooms. Some of them are smaller but they're really pretty and delicate and they make great roses to cut for arrangements just because they're so vigorous and have such nice long stems. But there is a really large bloom over here I want to show you. This is it right here. So these look about the size of mine at home. Very delicate pink to white. Really nice and it's just shocking how quickly and how vigorous it grows. So I'm going to just pan the camera so you can see for those of you who may be new here how far this rose field goes to the other edge down there. Now is the perfect time. Most everything's in full bloom and I like to just walk through and just see the tag of anything that catches my eye and this was one of them right here. I just pulled the tag. It's called Lady of the Mist. That's just like an entire rose bouquet at the end of a stem. You could just cut that and put it in a little glass container in your kitchen. Lovely. So if you're not new here you also know I love yellow roses. My grandmother loved yellow roses. I found a new yellow rose today. I probably saw it last year. Poet's Wife has been one of my favorites. It's the David Alston variety. The heirloom sells but there's one here called Cha-Ching and I will put some b-roll footage of it on the screen. It is very clearly yellow. Sometimes Poet's Wife will get little red spots on it if it gets water droplets on it and these here are overhead watered and so I know there's no red spots on it like there are on the Poet's Wife. So I know it's like a really great variety. So that's probably one I'm adding to my list for either. If I have room I may order it for this year or I may add it to my list for next year and get some bed space established which I'm going to be working on when I get back from this trip to plant more things. So I want to show you Delish because Delish is one that gets pretty large and this is it. Like look how big the roses are on this plant. This is the one I just showed in one of the last videos at the end of the shrub border there. They're nicely cupped but just massive, massive blooms. Probably five up to six inches across. Like look at that. Delish was an introduction by them last year around the Valentine's Day time frame which was perfect and I'm really excited to see it bloom this year. My blooms will probably not be nearly the size of these the first year but I'm excited to see what it's going to look like in the future. We're approaching the A's here which are where a lot of the David Austens are. If there are any questions about any that you see in video that in any like b-roll I've put on the screen see if you can put a time stamp below and if you're interested in the name I will see if some of the heirloom people can answer what rose that is based on the footage but it's just stunning. Like I probably showed you some of these last year I'm sure but it's just my eyes always attracted to the same type of plant. This is another James Galway that's a little more established so you can see how much bigger those are versus the ones I just showed you and how much bigger the blooms are as they get older. So you can see all the blooms on this one are much larger than the others. It's just now opening here mine's pretty blooming pretty heavily back home but in there you can see there's a lot as well and there's one over here that's really pretty. I want to show you I'm not sure what the variety is but just massive blooms. We were joking earlier about having instead of a snowball fight just having like a rose ball fight because these are so large and this is Sweet Mademoiselle. It's really pretty huge. These are lady of shallots so you can see based on everything that I've told you over the past few weeks or last year since I planted them how open and airy it is. The limbs are just very arching and kind of just dangle and it produces a nice good amount of blooms too. This is maybe a better look at Cha-Ching. You can just see how perfect all of these blooms are. The foliage is also really nice. Look how dark that foliage is. So as you probably know by now if you followed along for long you know reds aren't necessarily my favorite in the garden especially red roses but this one's called Crimson Bouquet and I think it's really quite striking. Like look how dark like it looks very dressed up I guess you could say for like a wedding. These are almost velvety. You can see like the red. Reds don't show great on cameras in general but it's just like a light red and then a darker red around the edges and the dark glossy green foliage. Really nice. I want to show you some drone footage of this field me is called Jump for Joy and I thought it was just a beautiful spot to conclude this video.
