Is anyone growing David Austin roses in the Tropics?
Comments (52)I'm NOT in a tropical climate -- far, far drier. But what Nik said: nikthegreek(9b/10a E of Athens, Greece) What the roses may find stressful as plants is not the heat or humidity but the lack of winter coolness That rang true for me. While not tropical, here in coastal Southern California, we also have No Winter Chill. In that situation, Austin roses that were perfectly well-behaved elsewhere morphed here into Jolly Green Giants ... growing 12- 14-ft. tall, and blooming only at the very top. If we cut them down, they responded by hunkering down and growing back to 12-ft., to produce one large bloom or cluster. After a few seasons of that, we had to acknowledge the advice we had received that these were not the ideal roses for our conditions. We still grow a few Austins . . . Golden Celebration is great here (but would blackspot for you). Prospero is one of my all-time favorites, as is Belle Story, and my DH loves Cymbaline....See MoreHas anyone grown Buttercup Rose, David Austin Rose
Comments (13)I spoke to DA just this morning. The nice Customer Service Lady said that its a good rose for my climate (very similar to the Pacific Northwest). She said that its a heathy rose but not so hardy if I lived closer to the sea. (There's a couple very, very small mountains between the sea and my garden so I'm ok) I also asked why its a lesser known variety. She answered a distinctive London accent, "it's just an older variety, we're not hiding it or anything. It's a lovely rose, beautiful cups with fewer petals so the rain doesn't affect them as much. It would do well for you in Donegal as long as your a bit inland from the coast." I hope that helps. I'm not sure what your zone is. M....See MoreAustin Roses - grafted bare root or own root?
Comments (19)I have only two Austins (Golden Celebration and Darcey Bussell) on DH roots and they are planted in a spot with Sycamore root competition, which is probably the only reason I can grow them there. They both have spotless foliage. I am inland quite a bit and at 1800ft. We do get May-Gray and June-Gloom, but it burns off by between 10AM and noon. I have Paul Neyron, which is a rust bucket right next to Rein de Violettes with pristine foliage, never a spot of rust or mildew. All my Teas get a little mildew except Monsieur Tillier. My Lady of Shallot is on her own roots and does very well with perfect foliage. I really want Evelyn but now I am a little scared by the 12 foot canes jerijen mentions. I have Star of the Republic with only a couple blooms that have been scented and I really want scent in my roses so thinking about replacing with Evelyn. But will give SotR a 3rd year to see if those blooms get consistent scent. The 3 or so blooms that I caught with some scent were an amazing strong lemony fragrance. Maybe just doesn't give scent in the heat? I also have James Gallway on its own roots and near Golden Celebration but further from the sycamore. It is establishing more slowly and not behaving like a climber at all yet, next year with be year 3 so maybe I'll get long canes in the Spring....See MoreDONE with David Austin Roses
Comments (47)Not meeting expectations couid be many things such as mature enough, having enough thick canes, growing in the right direction, & more. Being DA may be possibly the most popular roses on the market-that would be an amazing task to estimate supply & demand & switch the way they grow them frequently to own-root, which take longer to grow, & still meet the entire US demand! I have been in marketing & sales for many years and we had a rule of thumb, ”no matter how you stock-up and think you have it all for future customers… they always surprise you & want whatever you just ran out of, Lol” No one can truly perfectly predict the future. It is an interesting field! I worked for a world wide very popular company, too. I have a lot of patience and loving support for David Austin Roses! I know they will find ways to bless their customers in the future. I feel blessed now to even enjoy the roses I have been able to purchase from them. My DA gratitude list-my roses::Beautiful Emily Bronte, new Silas Marner-what a priviledge, Munstead Wood-how magnificent, Anne Bolyen, Q Elizabeth, P Alexandra of Kent, Roald Dahl, E Vye, Bathsheba, Darcy Bussell, Mary Rose, Heritage, & more!!! I have 15 DA. What a gratitude list! And I know many others have these roses & more!!! They are gorgeous! Thank you! And I hope those who had order challenges find peace and joy in this beautiful spring! With our beautiful sun coming out for us more and more days and blooming season for many of us taking off! It may be a time to make the best of what we have and try to enjoy this heavenly time of year! See you on the Spring thread w/ your beautiful spring blooms! Take in the fresh air in your gardens, maybe you have a perfumed rose or flower to enjoy? Birds are singing! Mothers are givibg birth to baby animals! Enjoy a spring dinner? Oh, what a wonderful time of year! , Best Wishes & Happy Gardening! 🥀🌺🌷🌹🌸🌺🥀...See MoreEcho_Texas_zone9a
