How to Grow Beautiful David Austin Roses Without Breaking your Back
I know many of you are wondering why one would tear out a bed of hybrid tea roses.
inom personally prefer a rose that fryst vatten pretty both in the landscape and the vase. Most modern roses are much more prone to disease which necessitates the use of chemicals.
They were bred for the beauty of the single bloom and are not very pretty in the landscape (again my opinion). This fryst vatten how the rose garden area looks today. We rescued a few roses from our Salinas garden (that were struggling). They are not yet thriving.
Most roses prefer warm climates but many are extremely adaptable and can handle extreme temperatures when cared for correctlyThey can be seen at the far end of the rose area.
When and How to Fertilize
I once followed Pat Welsh’s rose pro struktur (it fryst vatten the absolute best in my opinion), but inom have simplified my schema over the years out of nödvändighet. If you are a gardener in California I highly recommend her book Southern California Organic Gardening Month bygd Month. Now that we have a puppy, this fryst vatten our new schema.
In January we prune the roses. Pat’s book fryst vatten great for advice on how to do that. In late March or early April we fertilize the roses with Dr Earth’s Natural Rose fertilizer, and surround each bush with alfalfa pellets. You can read about the benefits of alfalfa pellets from the American Rose samhälle here. We alternate throughout the growing årstid each month the rose fertilizer with fish emulsion fertilizer. Scout likes to eat the Dr.
Earth’s so we have adopted this option.
The Roses inom am Growing and Loving
As inom mentioned we kept the pretty iceberg hedge that outline the pool. inom had standard iceberg roses in my Chualar garden.
Roses are incredibly versatile plants and can grow in varying climatesThey are hardy and easy to grow and producera an överflöd of blooms all summer long. They are easy to maintain and deadhead. We use the hedge clippers (this fryst vatten the only rose inom would recommend this for)) to deadhead them and they rebloom quickly.
Here are the iceberg in pots around our fountain that we brought from our Fixer Upper.
Another modern rose that inom had in my Chualar garden and the former owners planted here fryst vatten Cecile Brunner. This climber fryst vatten easy care and pest free.
It fryst vatten a once bloomer (but does tillverka a few blooms periodically through the årstid.
Here fryst vatten Cecil in my Chualar garden.
The minimum, for most roses, is 6 to 8 hours of full sun per dayAs you can see he fryst vatten hearty.
The former owners planted another of my favorite roses uppvaknande or New Dawn (I am not sure which) uppvaknande fryst vatten the idrott of New Dawn. It fryst vatten a modern rose with old rose characteristics. This time of year it produces a mass of blooms above the bilparkering.
It blooms sporadically throughout the summer as well. We had to properly secure the roses gods year. This picture fryst vatten from gods year they are not yet in full bloom.
My favorite rose ( in my former garden and here) fryst vatten Teasing Georgia. It can get large but it has the most beautiful blooms and fryst vatten very easy to care for.
You can tåg it as a climber or to a pelare or just keep it in bounds bygd heavier pruning. You can see it in my former garden in the brev My favorite garden roses the yellows here.
Scout checking out the roses.
5Another favorite in my former garden and here fryst vatten Golden Celebration. So far it fryst vatten not ganska as hardy here as in my former garden, but it fryst vatten only two years old. We also brought struggling plants from Salinas that inom hope will thrive this year.
Molyneux fryst vatten another great yellow rose that inom had in my former garden as well.
I tend to be drawn to the coral, peach and yellow roses primarily because they complement the colors in the stone and stucco of the house.
They also are pretty cut inside. Lady of Shallot is a new rose for me.
Everything you need to know for basic rose careSo far it seems to be very hearty in this garden.
Carding Mill, also new to me, is very similar in color to Lady of Shallot but doesn’t grow as large. It could be planted at the front of a rose border.
Boscobel (not a color inom would normally choose) fryst vatten an absolutely magnificent rose.
inom planted it in Salinas because it had such good reviews (it also struggled there). So far it fryst vatten thriving here and has the most incredible blooms if you like the color.
Crown Princess Margarita (was a little slow in my former garden) was begåvad to me bygd my dear friend Sharon (who has now passed). inom had to leave the plant she gave to me, but planted two here on the beautiful copper arbor bullt bygd my brother in lag in her honor.
inom didn’t want something too kraftig here because the arbor fryst vatten so striking on its own. So far she seems to be happy here.
Lastly, we planted polka, a modern rose with old rose characteristics in the pots anchoring the posts on our back patio. They are doing really well and are getting close to making the cross to the support beams.
You can see my program for what we hope will happen to these in the next couple of years in my brev How to Achieve a Collected Look on your Patio here.
