These Roses Deserve a Spot in my Garden!

How do I decide which roses are worth a try in my garden? With many centuries of roses in cultivation, I'll have to give fair consideration to each of the classes. Here I go through some of the important breeding roses and famous garden roses I've added to the farm so far. Not that I'm making excuses, but many of these are young plants, and they won't represent the best garden performance for the variety. As the garden grows in, I'll add newer (and 4k) footage to the channel to show their full potential.

You are enabling my rose addiction, sir. 😅

[jasminebambury]

This was so educational. Please more about the breeding. Watched it twice. Fascinating. Many thanks.

I' ve got Rose de Resht, Comte de Chambord, Charles de Mills, Konigen von Danemark and Peace in my garden in Poland ( zone 6b) and we have no problem with them.😀 Only Peace needs a small cover. Yesterday we had -18C and I'm sure everything will be ok😉

I need a bigger garden ... a much bigger garden. So many gorgeous roses! And so much knowledge here too. Thank you.

[mhubertcfi]

Definitely so interested in the history and minutiae of roses. Thanks for the link!

I live a a small farm in rural Oklahoma and don’t venture out much. Normally I only see roses in catalogs. Seeing them on your farm shows what they’re really like. I depend on videos like this to help learn and of course shop! I bought 10 roses from High Country Roses in CO this morning. Had I watched this video first my order would have been slightly different. Thank you so much Jason!❤

[carmenbailey]

I always enjoy your videos, having just two ground cover roses I was totally lost to your rose world. That being said I love Roses and love seeing yours, your gardens and videos. I’m amazed and impressed you knowing all their names. Thanks for sharing your love with Roses. 👍❤️😊

Jason, it seems you've mentioned that you are in USDA zone 8 before. But that really surprised me this time, as I live in Dallas/ Ft. Worth area of Texas, and I'm in zone 8, too.
The roses you grow are fascinating. If more people were exposed to them, their hardiness and amazing fragrances, I believe they would have them in their spaces.
My 'Autumn Damask' was a paler pink, as you mentioned.
Have you tried growing 'Mme Isaac Pereire'? The fragrance is like the Damask rose with raspberry.
'Maggie' is a Bourbon Rose with a very strong raspberry fragrance, too. It does get blackspot, but it is so worth growing none the less.
It is an absolute joy to see your Old Garden Roses. Please keep featuring them. They are wonderful, Jason.
You could talk for hours about these roses and not bore me, Jason..

So important to have rose specialists who are passionate about what they do, and strive to keep some of the rarer historic roses in production. Just love your informative videos too.

[janekozlovsky]

Jason, Nice job. Love listening and learning from you. You are a wealth of knowledge. In fact, I saw your 'Distant Drums' rose and loved it so much that I bought one too. Thank you for always being so informative. You're a walking rose encyclopedia! What a pleasure learning so much.

[I-FengKirchhoff]

Jason! I had stopped wanting to buy more Old Roses bc I am running out of space, BUT I fell like I am going to anyway, after watching this incredibly lesson, visual, content and your speech! Well done!

[MeganJoyHilly]

Thank you, Jason. My favourite video to date 😊

[karenfarris]

Jason, I always enjoy all of your videos and they’re always so informative.

A rose that I planted last spring that blew me away was coral miracle. It was a blooming machine and so easy to care for. Thank you for sharing.
