Just absolutely stunning.... I want someone to create an internet app that allows scent to be transmitted..... they will make a fortune.

Darren, your roses are truly beautiful, not sure which ones are my favorites, but I love your little piece of paradise! I plan to take another look when I have more time to really enjoy it.

Heritage Roses in Australia 2010 Conference Garden Tour

Sally - thanks for the invite! I so wish I could make it to Brisbane for the conference, but that's not happening. Will there be any sort of written or recorded record of the speeches? The reason I ask is that I feel a real affinity with "warm weather" antique rose growers in Australia. Here in CA we talk to each other, but outside of that the rest of the US has way different climates from ours. (Sometimes we annoy rose growers in the rest of the US by touting roses they can't grow, or insisting that Austin roses are mostly huge climbers, or exclaiming over the delights of Spring in Feb!). Even the warm South & Southeast of the US is horribly humid, and so has very different issues from our Mediterranean climate. Reading that wonderful book about old roses in Australia made me realize that you guys have very similar climates to ours! (So does Southern France, but my French is not that good - Australia seems to be the only area full of English speaking old rose enthusiasts in a similar climate to ours). Jackie Schmidt

Sofl- here ya go ! https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003ZZQLYG/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1527633632&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=come+into+the+garden+sign&dpPl=1&dpID=51hG-9bFMxL&ref=plSrch It's metal and has looked brand new for 3 plus years. Glad you like it !!! moses , you are always so kind ! Gardening is my only hobby and I'm super fortunate that my husband works all day 5 days a week and my daughter naps 3 hours a day so I have extra time ! I'm trying to get it all into maintenance mode so her and I can do some fun things more often. Do you believe it's almost time for early preschool ? So I need to spend more quality time with her and less "games " out of digging holes ! Lol also even though I'm in my early thirties I have been gardening since I was 19 in my tiny house shared with my now husband. Boy the mistakes I made! And money wasted .. but I do think the Lord has blessed me with the love of gardens and all the learning that comes with it ! Ps Moses.. I ordered those amazing pruners you spoke of (okatsune ?) and they are incredible!! Are you liking yours ? i have seen his clematis in nursery and they are nice! I don't have any yet as I prefer the type 3 viticellas that take over the world . I'm sure I'll add some soon on smaller obelisk though ! Thank you ray gun !! I hope to see photos of your garden soon!!

Garden tour - no roses but neat
Q
Comments (10)
Lilyfinch - Yes designtoscano is a dream shopping tour! Sometimes a little pricey. There's another one - can't remember their name , a little cheaper that sells through everybody including Ebay but there is a several month wait. I am already planning another new garden and have some things laid out already. One of the items is a tiered fountain. However there is no way to get electric out there. I have a small solar fountain and that is not the way to go. A mosquito flying between the sensor and the sun causes it to stop. So I want to use a regular plug in electric pump but run it on a car battery. Ideally a solar panel to recharge the battery but that is all above and beyond my understanding of current. My biggest challenge will be trying to figure out the converter for the electric to battery right now. Found it - Orlandi Statuary - they have so many things I want including those big planter urns.

You've gotten me really excited about my Desdemona. Last year was my first year with it, and the flowers were not full at all. It's great to see what they will look like as the plant matures.

Breathtaking ! I can't say it any better than the singing birds- you've done a splendid job Darren. It could not be more magnificent unless of course Ava posed by each rose. Gabriel Oak is astonishing.

That was absolutely splendid, Darren, and I very much appreciated the labeling of the roses. It was really nice to see some of the newer Austins, and I especially like Emily Bronte. Your roses look so totally healthy, not a blemish to be seen, what a contrast to my garden.

Thank you, Darren. I really enjoyed the tour, and I can't tell you how much I appreciate the labels. A visual experience uninterrupted by guessing games. Just pure enjoyment. Your garden is stunning! Absolutely every rose (and every other plant) was a delight, but like Ingrid, I was especially and repeatedly bewitched by Emily Bronte. What lovely rose! I hope it stays I commerce for awhile. Carol

Beautiful video and beautiful roses! I subscribed and am looking forward to updates. Especially love 'English Princess'. Is she an Austin Rose? And your 'Desdemona' is to die for. Hope mine is half as gorgeous as yours :-)
