A rose walk through the garden | my favorite rose varieties | the company of perennials in the ro…

Good morning dear friends this is Ola I warmly welcome you to my garden to the rose-filled corner of my garden I promised you that when the roses bloom we would take a walk together through the garden I'll show you what I paired the roses with how I arranged them and which plants I used in the flower beds and I'll point out which roses in my opinion are the healthiest varieties ow they cope not only with frosts but precisely with fungal diseases which I'd recommend not only to those passionate rose enthusiasts but also to beginner gardeners First consider these rose varieties that would be worth introducing into your garden Warmly inviting you I think we'll start our walk with the rose of the mokaros This is probably my favorite especially when it comes to flower colors No of course not the size of these flowers because they're a large-flowered rose I'll tell you that group affiliation along with the name itself is highly appropriate here Look at how enormous its flower heads are I know not everyone here appreciates such muddy tones in flowers Here among these wildly different fanatics there are two camps Yet I've grown quite fond of such nuances especially over time When all my roses were simply pink I longed for something different That rose koloko and mocarosa also made their way into my garden Here I have this powerful model seated in three copies I always mulch my large-flowered roses for winter as they're a bit more demanding in that regard As you can see behind me there's also a stretch of land from which those cold winds often blow And even the strong one gets these little bumps from me On the other hand I also prune it quite low so that it develops more branched shoots That's exactly why we want these large-flowered roses to have even more of those huge blooms As for the color I think I'd describe it right here exactly like this A coffee hue softened with a delicate hint of lavender somewhere in it Yes I'll compare here how the flowers of the crape myrtle and the bougainvillea actually look I love how this shade of lavender has so many more nuances just for me This moccasino is definitely a herbal coffee-colored rose It works perfectly for me precisely when paired with white Here the third year in a row the raven has been circling around her And see how those delicate wonderful flowing lace frills on this magnificent eagle look with that powerful tail She has quite stiff stems As you can see she doesn't lean forward at all here so it's perfect to give her something sleek like this It's in this very form but for example a few years ago I tried introducing the pale foxglove here Because she's slightly slimmer even the leaves themselves are more slender more lanceolate in shape That purple thistle would already be overwhelmingly imposing here with its height and bulk precisely too much for these delicate roses And that gray fox looks really good here Here garlic shoots are also growing which unfortunately have already finished blooming but we also have foxgloves here The fields here once bloomed with meadows of orchids and violets—surely you remember them I also added here some daisies and doves but with white flowers I can't wait for them to bloom so I can show them to you We'll go through all the variations of drakwia and I actually have a separate episode planned for them right here too I also have planted wild garlic in the Arabela variety along with wild garlic so with these shades these particular hues of purple also look great where they more boldly inject those slightly melancholic tones of our mighty land Herbal weed barriers are generally an excellent solution when it comes to planting them on flower beds because these veterans don't require such support from us They would hang down slightly naturally climbing up through taller shrubs or taller herbaceous plants giving them such a sturdy support that these flowers which truly bloom from June until the first frosts They will appear somewhere among those rose clusters between those stems It looks to me slightly more refreshing on those flower beds We never know when such a storm will strike where it will unleash its fury or precisely where its blossoms will appear On my oldest border in the lower part of the garden choosing roses I'd even consider planting here I focused mainly on varieties known for their vigor and resistance to fungal diseases Yes I really got serious about this topic then following every online forum closely I kept up with what my friends were posting on Instagram and of course watched tons of videos here on YouTube I'll tell you that all the rose varieties growing on this bed are ones I'd gladly recommend to you I'm truly very pleased with them Just to clarify upfront all the roses I have here have pink flowers This shade differs only subtly from the others but at this moment I've slightly varied the pattern I added more blue incorporated white flowers and a touch more purple And now from this effect from this discount I'm truly satisfied It seems to me that these plants don't really compete with each other through flashy colors or textures anywhere Nadal looks romantic to me subtle just as I originally envisioned Now I'd like to draw your attention to this rose as it is a ballet dancer rose I've planted two of these here It's a shrub rose a polyantha hybrid but it's really my little rose favorite And in one of my films about the longest-flowering plants even though I primarily focused on herbaceous plants at the time I also added this rose because I don’t prune it At the first blooming I absolutely don’t cut back any of the stems She naturally goes on to grow new shoots slightly taller just as all roses tend to do During the second flowering the stems are simply a bit more upright and taller Yet here she truly shines within this mass She blooms beautifully from June right through to the first frosts The flowers last a very long time and this is a softly shaded space It may not be the typical bookish half-shade but this rose truly isn't in such a heavily sunlit spot It also presents and grows very well Whenever friends or family members visited me and happened to glance at that flowerbed at that rose They must have suspected from afar that some sort of foxglove was growing here and that this rose could truly create such an illusion It's made from such flower canopies These are truly small charming flowers with open centers that naturally turn white as they mature So at first these flowers remind us a bit of apple blossoms with slightly darker borders around them and then gradually become whiter and whiter In my opinion some of these flowers are truly so snow-white they could almost be mistaken for snow This is a truly very healthy rose Only toward the end of summer when there are slightly rainy evenings or mornings dewy with mist Gently grasps the dark mottled patch Yet this is not such a concentrated assault by this black spot that it strips all our shoots bare There are still plenty of healthy leaves on this rose right here from the very top So she wouldn't look so bad in that case What else do I appreciate about this rose besides its health longevity and abundant blooming The fact that she bears magnificent red fruits which serve as both ornament and sustenance That's why throughout the autumn and winter months the Balerina rose is covered in small red berries which truly look picturesque especially when they're already covered in frost when they emerge from beneath the white blanket of snow The rose is a decoration until the moment I prune it in spring Also if you're looking for a bushy rose that blooms abundantly and has flowers exactly this color I highly recommend this rose variety the Balerina to you The ballet dancer rose is so tall because it can grow up to one and a half meters high Right next to it grows a noticeably shorter more compact little flower But what a beautiful shape what a lovely form this shrub has as it grows into such a perfect dome Of course it blooms slightly higher on the second flush with those shoots Look at how many flower clusters she has on her stems This is the Nautica rose by Cordesa Cordes can rightly boast that the vast majority of his roses here are truly exceptional The varieties he introduces into trade are very healthy ones Additionally Nautica holds an ADR certificate What does such a certificate tell us It precisely indicates her resistance not only to fungal diseases but also to frost Here I must tell you that living on the east side near fields and forests with such hazards around ere winters vary quite a bit with sometimes notably colder winds I forgot to mulch around that Nautica in the first year after planting and it survived the winter perfectly Truly compared to other roses I've had to prune very severely Nautica kept its shoots green well into winter Also an exceptionally cold-hardy variety As for her flowers I've already told you here that she's composed of these little clusters There are actually a dozen or more flowers growing on a single stem The color is a delicate lavender shade This is a younger sister of the Novalis rose However as I've mentioned before Novalis enjoys being scorched by that sun I'd love to be that mummified And here this Nautica really handles it much better It has been raining here for about three days now And as you can see these are solitary older flowers faintly browned The rest looks truly fantastic Thanks to its compact lower profile We can confidently plant it at the front of a border bed or alternatively use it to create a medium-height tier If we want to enhance that lavender tone we can pair it with those cool blues Yes I did I've planted a whole row of low thistles here with blue flowers I added a dragonfly with blue flowers And of course my eagle which goes with everything so here we can also add this white Or perhaps just roses in the form of other rose varieties or perhaps right here I have lies pink lies Everything still somehow fits together nicely with this rose She also eagerly repeats this bloom during the second flower pressing That's why I think she's actually one of the most beautiful varieties with that distinctive bluish hue in her flowers And this placement along with these obelisks truly serves as the central focal point right here on the lawn Before me lies a square that connects all the paths uniting every flowerbed I was just about to add something higher here At first when choosing the roses and the greenery I truly couldn't decide at all about the color or the combination So I decided not to overthink it I' ll go with pink roses and a pink bunny I'll tell you here they truly create such a breathtaking pink cloud Yes I always say it's a huge pink cloud like cotton candy clearly visible from afar I planted climbing roses and jasmine here and I really love them They have such a delicate rose-like fragrance This is a typical pastel shade of pink Notice how skillfully these petals are arranged on the flowers On the outer side they are slightly lighter while in the center particularly in that central section they are darker So she gives us this delicate pompon effect As you've surely already noticed this is a variety that likes to bend its inflorescences downward with her bouquet of flowers so she'd either need to be properly supported or risk toppling over In this case if she goes for such long short legs it's a bit tiring and inconvenient and if for example you have rose arches or pergolas shaped like arches perhaps such decorative entries at the gates to your homes That effect seems highly desirable to me as she would be showering those flower-filled bunches right over our heads I think we could appreciate them better then This rose is also very healthy thriving here for five years now and has had a faint dark mottling since then I'm also very very satisfied with her for now It also keeps well in the cold I covered it maybe just twice definitely last year I used to walk through the hedge with the bark and make those little mounds but it winters in very well As you can see there were two thick shoots growing close to the ground which I've bent down here Among all those bent shoots she sprouted countless new growths each recently adorned with exquisite bouquets of flowers I added a climbing rose to the garden and it's a large-flowered climber flowering late in the variety Comtesse de Bouchot Very well he also handles partial shade quite nicely which is another fantastic variation to recommend Because it's one of those healthy postwar blooms it also flowers abundantly and to me these very shades harmonize perfectly As for what grows here among these roses addition to the previously mentioned Comtesse de Bouchot model I referenced earlier Lower thorns are growing here and I'm really experimenting a lot with these thorns right here Once a Rosanne rose grew here now it's Azure Rush and Bloom Me Away Meanwhile those blue tones stand out nicely here Later Himalayan ardesites will be added to the set which are actually already included in these starter packs I see I absolutely must replant my garlic chives closer since they can no longer grow deeper in the back The plants have grown quite thick the roses are especially dense here and these garlic cloves could use a bit more sunlight Fortunately there's still space here on the edge which is why these garlic bulbs are here Just like the ones on this side those on the other side should be planted closer together so they receive more sunlight Moving further along ornamental garlic used to grow in this bed I just cut them yesterday to give this flower bed a slightly different look These garlic plants as bulbous plants serve as connectors bridging the gap between the spring and summer periods In our gardens I've already cut back the plants so we can welcome the June display—a lovely rose-colored show of flower beds Here’s how the Nautica rose appears up close from this angle and here’s the Balerina rose Look the lies will soon be in bloom and towering tree-like lies in the Robin variety are already standing tall I also notice that my Delaware phlox is pushing up its tall flower clusters There is no trace of it left in Lubin only scattered shoots with a slightly darker hue adorn the area The way this watermelon really stands out here is absolutely fantastic—maybe I’ll do a whole episode just about it That's because it's really one of my favorite herbs right now Here is the eagle the Przędobylska eagle which truly through these lace-like flowers so delicate charming and subtle It blends beautifully with roses but remember as I mentioned its vigorous self-seeding can slightly overwhelm other plants I'll mention these roses again when they're in full bloom When combining other herbs with roses featherfew also looks particularly stunning In places where the ballet rose fell where I had a bit more space here I added those little tufts as well They come from my own seedlings—these have burgundy leaves burgundy stems and flowers slightly lighter and more delicate And even after blooming these dense clusters will continue to adorn us with their shoots wonderfully contrasting against our greenery They look excellent both in bloom and after flowering I also highly recommend a potted arrangement for a rose bed if you're looking for something like that I still remember it as if it were today—how intensely I debated whether to add that rose variety to my cart It's Angela's Rose in three specimens I wanted it to create a really substantial mass a larger rose bush here It really looks fantastic— one of the best and most appealing varieties I have in my garden I wouldn't hesitate over her now She's thriving brilliantly and is genuinely reliable At her first bloom she sends out those shoots almost perfectly level all at the same uniform height So it would also look good in larger rows And just as with some of the roses I mentioned earlier during this second pressing it occasionally happens to her It produces slightly higher yields but flowers exceptionally well and eagerly repeats that flowering during the second pressing Here we're not talking about individual flowers on stems but truly about the bouquets being formed right now This is a rose with open centers so it also works wonderfully here as a pollen source I've added her head garlic to the hive so later there will be a swarm of bees and a flurry of hoverflies around those garlic heads Flat mushrooms also develop that reddish hue later on that reddish tint In my opinion they also look great with that bold shade of rose Angela may indeed now be a dark pinkish hue but later just like flowers with such open centers They tend to fade whether like the 'Ballerina' rose or even those peonies with open centers that naturally take on this tendency One of the coolest varieties of roses has dark leathery leaves that shimmer Now I see something eating it but there aren't even that many bugs on it This year I really struggled with powdery mildew which wiped out my Coco Loco and other roses but Angela continues to bloom reliably Later along with those round garlic bulbs there will be lacecap hydrangeas here and this little corner is truly one of my favorites I really devoted a lot of attention and time to this composition back then and since then I haven't changed a thing so this was truly a great idea and a perfect fit Gardeners my today's rose segment comes to an end In summary if I were to recommend one proven variety currently flourishing in my garden right now it would be this one Some varieties of roses are already blooming rather timidly and I’ll likely return to them soon but the Balkan rose is truly one of my favorites Due to its length and abundant flowering—just as I mentioned it blooms boldly from June until the first frosts and then continues to adorn the garden with those magnificent fruits throughout the entire autumn and winter seasons It truly looks picturesque when the entire bed is covered in a white snowy blanket with those frost-covered red berries sticking out here and there Its health reliability and excellent winter hardiness are truly noteworthy On the other hand I couldn't say that when it comes to color this pink rose here is the clear winner I truly forgive that dark stain forgive the need to cover it up I believe there's no other like it—right here I'm holding a rose a rose of the Kokoloko variety just so you're not misled I truly think there's no other such rose available on the Polish market I know and I'll say it again here that some people don't like such strong coffee tones and prefer softer shades of pink white or yellow instead And for those enthusiasts seeking something new something fresher something truly unconventional I think it's worth hunting down the mokarosa variant I also think she's less temperamental than the cologo I mentioned earlier Your choice is yours to make here as well Thank you so much for watching today's episode and thank you to everyone who stayed until the end See you in the next episodes—just as I said I’ve come up with so much and there’s so much I’d love to share with you show off and of course get your advice because you’re my treasure trove of knowledge See you soon sending you warm regards—stay cozy and take care Bye for now
