They are stunning!! Thank you so much for sharing! I love your Lady Emma Hamilton, that color is so vivid without being obnoxious.

Beautiful!!

Wow, so beautiful. Now, you give me some hope on growing roses in the container. How big is the Teasing Georgia pot? She is beautiful!

@Lek Arun: I grow it in 22in pot. It’s doing good so far, currently over 6ft

Gorgeous! Your Lady of Shallot is glowing! Mine only got one small flush this year. It's only its second year, so I'm hoping it will grow into something like yours!

@LPS I planted from bareroot in April and it’s doing quite well so far.

Wow!! Love all of your gorgeous beauties!! So stunning! It's nice to see how yours are doing so well in pots, since that's what I'm doing with my DA's as well.

@Glimmer of Hope: I’m running out of space so I plant a lot of my roses in pots. I actually prefer pots though

I love your Austins! Thank you for sharing them. I really like the Bush shots too.

Absolutely beautiful! Lady Emma is so striking. You've got some great roses, Lady of Shalott is one of my favorites but I really like your Boscobel and Royal Jubilee!

So amazing!!! 😍 I love your Olivia and Abe Darby, they do so well in pots!

All very beautiful and they’re all so healthy looking! What do you use to fertilize your potted DA’s? They are absolutely loaded

with gorgeous blooms. The Ancient Mariner really caught my eye. I wonder why it hasn’t been on my radar? The few paler petals that surround the full, pinker cup make it a real standout. Are you located somewhere with nice, mild summers? I can’t imagine any of my DA’s looking so happy and full of blooms this time of year, especially if grown in containers. They all look amazing. Thanks for showing us your beautiful DA’s. Well done! Lisa

@Lisa Adams: I live in Seattle, zone 8B. I grow a lot of my roses in containers and they are doing quite well so far. I use Rose Magic Mills Mix Fertilizer for my roses, fertilizing them twice per season.

Gorgeous!!!! I wish I could grow Austins in pots like you can!! What rootstock do your roses have? Your roses are insanely beautiful!!! :)

@rosecanadian: most of my DA bareroots are grafted on Dr. Huey rootstock. I also plant ownroot roses in pots.

Okay...so different than my multiflora. Thanks! :)

What an incredible assortment of beautiful healthy roses. The Ancient mariner really caught my eye. I love that color ! Maybe I should try that one in a pot.

Wow! Beautiful! You are giving me hope for my Heritage. It is finally starting to take off this yeat. I almost shovel pruned, but now I am glad I didn't.

@bonny46 Heritage is getting very big. This is her yesterday. She’s about 6ft in my garden :)

Lovely!!! There are soooo many blooms!! What a treat!

Amazing roses @htracyn79 PNW-8B .

I am in Zone 6A-Michigan. I am planning to order few roses from David Austin for the first time.

I am looking for some disease resistant,abundant flowering roses of all colors. Can anyone who have in the same zone and weather who ordered can help me suggest some good ?Appreciate a lot if respond!

The roses i added in cart are

Munstean Wood ,Claire Austin,Susan Williams,Charles Darwin,emily bronte,Desdemona,Lady of Shallot

@HU-561295918: I strongly recommend Olivia Rose Austin. I think it’s the best performer of all DAs I have. It has excellent disease resistance, non-stop blooming and beautiful cupped shape flowers.

Lichfield Angel is other good one to consider. Very healthy and blooms a lot.

Poet’s Wife is another good one. It’s blooming a lot like other two.

htracyn, your roses are impressive for being so young. The amount of blooms is extraordinary. And, in pots, no less! I'm completely at a loss for growing roses in pots.

Thanks @htracyn79 PNW-8B for Response..Your roses are rocking :-) ...Do you think the roses you suggested will go well with zone 6a in cold weather?

@HU-561295918 it should be fine. They are hardy to zone 4 :) attached is Lichfield Angel I took yesterday.

Wow ,its stunning..Very nice @htracyn79 PNW-8B ..Thanks for response.. Any clue on other roses i given-Munstean Wood ,Claire Austin,Susan Williams,Charles Darwin,emily bronte,Desdemona,Lady of Shallot..

Omg these are sooo pretty! Major swoon!!! I especially love your Olivia and huntington rose. Just stunning. And I can’t believe yours are mostly in containers!! What sized pots do you use? Do you repot them every year? I’m running out of garden beds and was considering growing some roses in pots but have heard that flower production would be much less in pots vs in ground. Yours look so good though so maybe it’s more doable than I thought!!

And I’m amazed that none of your DAs seem to nod too bad for you. Mine are pretty much all very floppy (except for maybe Queen of Sweden. That one is as upright as can be). My Alnwick, for example, NEVER had his blooms facing up like yours do. Do you have a trick? Or are yours older?

HU, our zones are similar, and I have family in MI, and know your climate pretty well. I only have Munstead Wood and Desdemona from your list, and both perform beautifully here. Both are healthy and excellent bloomers. I'm sure you know the first year is not representative of how they will perform after about year 3.

@Minshen: my Alnwick rose is two years old. It’s mature enough to support its bloom.

I use 18in-22in pots to plant my roses and I don’t repot them each year, just adding more soil and fertilizer.

Wow love all your DA, make me want to buy more.

I am thinking of yellow/Orange color, carding mill, Charles Darwin....

Thank you @flowe@flowersaremusic z5 Eastern WA for response. I definitely want to try those 2.

Wow - beautiful roses, htracyn79! You have a great DA collection!

I just picked up a Harlow Carr at a local nursery, so I was excited to see your photos, as it's relatively less common so not as well known to me. I know it's thorny, though! (I draped a towel lightly over it while transporting it in my car, and the towel stuck to the thorns, lol.)

@cyndita more Harlow Carr pic. Although it’s thorny and has small size bloom, it blooms non-stop in my garden. It’s very fragrant as well.

Thank you, htracyn79! I love fragrant roses, and your HC looks like a great spot of color in your yard!

Beautiful austins and you have great success growing them in pots. May I ask what kind of potting mixture you are using ?

@Tututara: I bought potting mix from Costco

Hi @htracyn79 PNW-8B ,I am planning for a climbing rose for the first time.If I am planning to grow it sliding the wall,do i need and extra trellis to support?

@HU-561295918: You might want to install trellis or wire along the wall so that you can tie canes. Search “invisible trellis method.” It’s cheaper than trellis.

Thanks @htracyn79 PNW-8B I will try that.:-)

Man, your Harlow Carr is phenomenal!!! What a blooming machine!
