Hello rose friends! Finally got some time to share my garden this year! I made a little video and will add some pictures as well.
My David Austin Roses and Peonies garden!

This year was very challenging, I battled every bug and some diseases as well very early on. Still Mother Nature made everything as pretty as can be. It’s such a joy to grow roses and peonies! I hope you enjoy

Q

March 7, 2023, I repotted 2 Brugmansias yesterday, after growing all winter inside home, into 12” pots still growing in bay window. They have been turned toward sun to straighten out leaves. Pots & Brugs are actually twice as big as photos Jan. 27 above. (They will be moved to bigger pots when it’s warm for outside.) Fruit Salad Brugmansia Angel Sweet Summer Brugmansia March 7, 2023: 3 PASSIFLORAS in bay window of home all doing well, filling out more leaves, BIG inside pots. Possum Purple Passiflora , in second season now, grows the best-it has the most hardy big glossy leaves-overgrowing it’s pot/obelisk & I just don’t want to cut it back-so beautiful & green-little gangly, Lol! ! May Pop, in 3rd season now, sprouted 5 new shoots & has many new long stems filling out obelisk, again. Victoria, in second season now, is nice & green, very full in obelisk! Daily watering makes them all most happy inside/outside! MORE TROPICALS: I’ll add a new African Violet, Orchid, Mandevilla and begonias as warmer weather comes. Anyone adding tropicals to their rose gardens this spring? Love to see photos?

Ceres, you are a very talented garden artist----and art it is. The way your plants are displayed and also grown so well shows devotion and hard work, combined with talent. I love the two standards on either side of the bench, and even more magical is the pretty playhouse draped in roses. I wish I could grow such wonderful foxglove, too. They work so well with your garden's look. I have a question about the pink rose in the photo below the Mary Rose photo--what rose is it? It's luscious but doesn't look like Mary Rose. I look forward to more photos of your lovely garden. Diane

Thank you @rosecanadian and @kitty6any sorry I have been MIA but with summer here I have little time w/o the girls! They are non stop!
The purple plants are catmint, which I’m finding to be too big in some places. I also have Scabiosa (new this year, loving it), chives, gaura (white) and salvia!

Hi Kitty, I was just in yard today doing some pruning and cleaning. this winter was so warm, and I see new buts are shotting out already. How is your experience with warm winter? does it affect rose healthy as it wakes up roses eartlier than usual ?

Hi, Kate,

Thank you for your question. Exciting to hear from you on the forum!

I’m in the Fingerlakes area of NY. Yes Yes, wonderful more mild winter & early warming. I heard from CNN that we will have soring 3 weeks early. No problem for roses. My roses have some sm buds now. However, I’d be prepared for insects early, too.

I am so looking forward seeing signs of spring! I have seen just a ”sm few” of my hundreds of bulbs pop out of the ground!

NJ should be wonderful w/ early bloomers & soring soectular blooms! You will truly enjoy!

On the ”Houzz Rose Forum,” we have a tthread ”Merry Christmas Seasinal thread.” May change to a Spring Seasonal thread pretty soon. Join ys and share your posts photos & thoughts. I have a lot if my spring gardening starting on it. along w/ everyone else…https://www.houzz.com/discussions/6331437/merry-christmas-seasonal-thread#28328656

@KittyNYz6 Hi, kITTY, this morning I was doing some yard work in my garden, and I saw clematis are growing some shoots from soil. Roses are leafing out. I applied some cow manure in late Feb, and I gave them some shake and feed this week, I dugged up about 8 roses and gave to my frineds to make room for new roses I ordered from DA. I wonder when they will start shipping this year, last year, they shipped in late April, I might chose to let them ship late. Did you order any new roses recently? thanks for the link, I am going to there :)

@Kate_W_NJ_6B

Wow, Your roses are leafing out? And Clematis sprouts! How wonderful! What are you temps? You must be warm! Gardening outside! Fabulous!

Snow melted again today & it’s 36F outside for me. My roses do have some tiny nodes, but not hardly growing. I may prune near end of month whenever frosts are about gone. I have lots of bulbs sprouting outside-and seedling flowers sprouting inside home-that’s my spring so far! I’ll put manure/new soil out in a few weeks if it warms.

I hope you get in touch with Ceres! You are both in NJ growing roses!!! What a wonderful place to grow roses!

And hope you join us on our new rose thread….. now we have “a new spring thread….”

https://www.houzz.com/discussions/6350654/spring-2023-what-roses-are-you-planting-in-your-garden#28357307 I am posting my seedling andca few roses I grew inside this winter. Etsy shipped me roses in mid-sniwy winter so I potted them & grew them inside until it’s warm enough to plant outside.

I have 16 roses ordered still coming. I planted 5 new roses in fall that have not bloomed-just started to grow. And my 3 new roses in house…makes a total of 24 new roses to grow & bloom this spring 2023 to be added to my other roses.

@KittyNYz6 Hey kitty. Our lowest temp was -3 C duting last week, this week is much warmer, I saw rose and clematis leafing out but I am impatient, I think they are too slow. LOL, I wanted to fertilize them but it has been raining. I did my winter prune in late 2/2023, I am new to rose, I have no idea when is the good time to prune and when to add manure, hope I will learn here and my rose can be better next year . I heard that there is something called rose calender/schedule exists that everyone follows it to do certain things at certain time? I will need to find that thing. I am 45 min drive away from @CeresMer Zone 7a NJ. I would to love to make rose friends.. @CeresMer Zone 7a NJ ceres, your peony looks glorious as well, your rose is stunning. did you grow peony from roots or from potted plants? I planted some roots last year, they did not do much, one stem. hope they can at least give couple flowers, their beauty is to die for.

Prune time for our roses: Generally you should prune after your climate has a last frost. If you see Forsythia blooming it is time to orune. And fertlize at that time. You don’t want to encourage growing while there are still frosts.

I prune when almost all frosts are gone and I don’t see any frosts for mostly weeks., at least all temps above 31F or 32F mostly..

Are you originally from NJ or Canada ir Europe? I see you do temps in Celsius. What kind of roses do you have? Photos of your garden? Any photos of your pruned roses? Do you have roses in garden beds next to home? Photos?

Kate, welcome to the forum. I've grown peonies for decades, both from the tubers (sort of like roots), and from potted plants. The main thing with peonies is not to bury the tubers too deeply or they will either not bloom or not come up at all. If you try one in a pot, just plant the peony the same depth or slightly deeper that it was in the pot. Here a few of my peonies. Oh, I'm in zone 7 SW Idaho and it's still cold and unpleasant here.I haven't start pruning yet, which I usually have by now. Diane

Thanks so much, Kitty. Sarah is my favorite, too. She's a big bloomer, though late in the season, which often means wind blows her down, even though I've tried tying her up and all kinds of supports. I usually give up and make bouquets, and her blooms last a long time in a vase. Diane

Diane, Wow! That’s a gorgeous-Amazing bouquet! Your bouquets are to die for! And you have soooo many! I have many roses because they don’t grow very tall, but you have huge blooming roses and peoniies with amazing abundant blooms! Your blooms make the most stunning bouquets!

Diane your Sarah is always lovely. Your garden is so beautiful and inspirational. I started adding peonies to my new lake garden last year and Sarah was my first choice. I bought smaller cheaper ones so it will be a while before I have anything great to show, but I am excited.

Dianela, I am also a fan of peonies! I don’t care how short their season is, even their foliage adds warmth to the garden when they sre done blooming.

Here are a couple other ones you might want to look for:

I’m so ready for my peonies to bloom!!! Their season is short but I would not be without them!
@kate it was a very warm winter, I have already pruned in February and starting to fertilize now with plant tone. I tend to over fertilize so please don’t listen to me 🤪🤪. I have my schedule saved somewhere but I basically do plant tone and fish fertilizer now, once they are leafed out I start with spray liquid fertilizer (kelp+ maxsea) or something like that whenever I have a chance (every week or 2weeks) If the rose struggled last year I would probably add a slow release fertilizer now too…. This year I will add neem oil and jacks captain to my sprayer to see if I can get thrips under control
