David Austin Spring order..YES your opinion matters
Comments (55)I wanted to get 2 lady of shallot & 2 Munstead wood for my front bed. I also want boscobel & a few others for different spots. I'm 1.5 hour drive from hortico. The 10 minute drive I was referring too was the garden centre that is willing to try & source as many roses as I want. My other favourite local garden centre is huge, nice plants but only orders different plants if they get multiple requests. If the local place can't get them I will do the special rose order for fall or spring from hortico. I was also too late to order from palatines too. They were sold out of every thing before the cut off date. Again I could drive there in 2 hours to buy potted plants. Now I have to wait & see what is sold locally. The earliest place gets roses in early April. It's an indoor greenhouse. The rest are outdoors so usually end of April or may for them....See MoreHave you ordered your David Austins yet?
Comments (42)For the past two years they were sending them to me in mid February which I always considered late for my region. It's really best to get them started in the coolest time which is January here. I've lost a few of them the passed couple of years (2 out of 6 and 3 out of 8) and I attribute it to that. Luckily they have a wonderful guarantee and readily replaced them without hassle. Im hoping this year I'll have a better success rate as they are already potted. :)...See MoreOrder from David Austin-Is this normal?
Comments (11)I think I would try calling them again and demand a replacent because that cane is pretty damaged and is close to the base. It is not a quality rose which is what they say theirs are. You can probably get them to replace it even though it will probably grow ok. They just asked me to email them a photo of the damage. I did have one other with a damaged cane similar to yours that they offered to replace but I told them I would just watch it and let them know. It turned out to grow just fine once I removed the damaged cane....See MoreAnyone get your David Austin Bare Root Roses Yet?
Comments (439)They are here! It’s been a hot minute since I’ve gotten bare roots and I had forgotten how ridiculous they can be when you first get them. I’m mostly happy with them except for Silas Marner which clearly has a spider mite infestation starting - I’ve got them all hosed off and soaking in quarantine now and will keep them separated for a week or two after I get them potted up. First order The big one in the middle is Eustacia Vye. The three hidden in the back are Munstead Wood because after Evelyn, Jude the Obscure, and Lady Emma Hamilton I’ve learned to hedge my bets 😂 Silias Marner the spider mite incubator Second order Nothing special here, they all look healthy. Everyone getting a soak (spider mite dude is in a separate bucket far away) One more order to go!...See Moredublinbay z6 (KS)
