Comments (2)I bet sun would be better where you are. The desert SW of our country the afternoon shade would be better....See MoreDavid Austin Rose - Molineux (3rd year - 2nd flush)
Comments (8)Very lovely, as usual Hoang Ton:-) Your roses are always so healthy! I think we talked last year about how shocked I was that my Molineux was so very tall. I was expecting Molineux to be a smaller plant. I do love it, even though it’s bigger that expected and the blooms don’t make good cut flowers. BenT, mine is in bloom right now and it’s very colorful each bloom is saturated with colors. I do sometimes get that pale yellow, but I enjoy seeing what Molineux will do each flush. Life of the Party has been one that I’ve been eyeing for a while. It’s just that I don’t trust it to stay compact. It probably really would be the “Life of the Party“ in my garden. With my climate it would probably grow enormous and its new name would be something like “Raging Wild Party”. Thanks for the pictures and videos! I do enjoy them so.

Comments (4)This is 2 days after the other Boscobel video. I take back what I said about how the blooms fried in the sun. It was my fault. I didn't water it that morning. Watered the next morning and the blooms stayed pretty the whole hot sunny day. As you can see, it's 91F most of the day and the rose is still looking pretty, though the blooms are more pink than apricot like they were 2 days ago....See MoreDavid Austin Shrub Rose - Gabriel Oak (1st year - 2nd flush)
Comments (34)Hi Caroline, I think I live quite near you. I look forward to reading your posts and experiences with David Austin roses since we are pretty much in the same zone. Like you, I hope I live long enough to see all my Austins grow and thrive since I am a latecomer with my addiction for them. I have a large rose garden that finally, just this year has begun to reward us for all our very hard work. I had a thriving crop of thistle that has taken us 12 years to overcome but we won the battle. We have very heavy clay soils and have been hauling trailer loads of horse manure compost in every few weeks to help. We see wonderful results. Maybe we can meet in person one day and share our love of roses....See MoreHoang Ton - Zone 9a
