Love it! Absolutely gorgeous! And those Clematis Etoile Violette? I'm dead. 🤎

LOVE your garden tours. I've gone absolutely crazy about your channel. Incidentally, it is impossible to find "Scented Memories" carnations in the USA. A dreadful box store carried them earlier, but now the season is too late. Next to roses, carnation fragrances are my favorite. A discontinued fragrance from FLORIS called Malmaison is quite lovely with a hint of clove adds to the lush fragrance of carnation. Stay well and happy, you lovely fellow, and enjoy your birthday!

The geranium Rozanne spreads a bit then, thats good for me becuase I need it to take up a bit of space in my garden! Like you, I have scented dianthus but one with the stamens (I think its called Dianthus F1 Dash) so hopefully some of the insects will like it.

Very nice. How many Olivia plants form the circle and old are they?

..... Oh, and send our love to Ava!🧡🧡 When our 11 years old bulldog was young, he fussed about a long time looking for the most out of the way place to drop his load, but now, his bowel control is less than it once was and his load falls out before he arrives at his off the beaten trail dump zone. LOL!

6:44 Yes, so far I am able to hang my clothes out to dry hanging on the 10 feet tall dead sapling tree poles that I bind 3 together, teepee style then put long dead saplings horizontal on top for my scarlet wonder beans and Kentucky Wonder (an old heirloom green bean) beens to clamber on. The poles are about 70% covered, a few openings to hang clothes to dry in my vegetable garden. I prefer retro and rustic as much as possible. I took 7 quarts of yellow colored green beans out of the pressure canner just before I went online to admire your garden. It took ALL DAY LONG to can those 7 quarts of beans. They are low bush beans and the dirt and dead leaves stick to them as if they were velcro, a dozen washings until they be clean, pole beans are high enough that they remain clean, much quicker to can. 7:36 3 days ago, I sanded lupine seeds that I bought via Ebay, white, orange and red, I soaked them and drained them leaving them in glass jars overnight, in 24 hours they were sprouting! Never have I had in my 50+ years of gardening had seeds sprout in less than 24 hours. They are now in my 50 by 150 feet vegetable garden which gets a ton of manure every springtime and horticultural lime all plowed under, there, the lupines can grow their deep taproots better than in pots. Your readers may be interested to know that lupines grow the first year and bloom the following year. No proper English cottage garden is complete without lupines, lots of them in every color. Their scent is rather curious, it is definitely fresh ground black pepper, compounded with floral scent plus about 5% stale sweat odor. Perhaps I should have been a perfumer working in Grasse France? I seem to notice odors that others are oblivious to. 7:58 Wow! The Gabriel Oak is nearly fluorescent under the bright overcast skies (the very best light for photos/video. 8:26 Yes, I love asiatic lilies colors, but I don't grow them because they have no scent, I grow enormously tall Orientals for their strong, pervasive, exotic, clove/cinnamon/camphor scent. Like you, I want a cloud of fragrance hovering over my flower garden. It's like a bit of heaven come down to earth. 11:09 The Irish yews are looking good, they shall look good wintertime dusted with snow and red cardinal birds perched in them. 12:49 Yes, the fragrance of my Eustacia Vye is strong and intoxicatingly fragrant. Eustacia has kept her leaves all summer while my Francois Rabelliait dropped all of it's leaves from blackspot, he is now beginning to put out new growth. 15:33 Proper Job is nicely quartered also. This year the slugs were frequent diners munching on my dahlias, they grow strongly enough that I did not take my snips to the slugs as I do for my sweet peas, I go about at midnight with a flash light snipping slugs in two that are on sensetive plants that will succumb to their predations. 18:00 Here in Ohio, the heat is so oppressive that all fragrance evaporates away from the less than strongly scented roses and, like my Souvenir de la Malmaison rose, it had a gorgeous group of new blooms yesterday and today they are withering already from heat. It is said that Napoleaon found Souvenir de la Malmaison growing on the Isle de Bourbon, and he brought it home to his Empress Josephine who never saw a rose that she didn't like and she added it to her massive rose colection, SO, thanks be to Napoleon and Josephine that we have Souvenir de la Malmaison. A curious name Malmaison because it translates to "bad house". Were naughty things happening there for it to acquire such a name? I have no idea. A pleasant, romantic thought though, her Victorian era rose garden. Well thank you for the show and tell Darren, now, flee into your house with a cloud of pestilent insects in tow! LOL!

Happy August to you to Darren and early Happy Birthday. Your garden is as beautiful as ever. I really like your Dahlias. I've considered growing some in pots but have not done so in years. I may try some next summer. Thanks for the garden tour, James

Have a wonderful Birthday! Hope it's a great day for you. 🍾🎂🌷🌺

Your ability to see beauty in the world is so encouraging. Garden on!

Erstaunlich und wunderschön ist deine Rosengarten !!!Alle Rosen, leuchtende Blumen und Bäumchen sind großartig!!! Du hast ein Paradis geschaffen !!! Danke sehr für die Tolle Video Darren ❤❤ Vorläufig möchte ich dich gratulieren . Alles Gute zum Geburtstag Darren 🎂 Ich wünsche dir Gesundheit, Glück und Wohlergehen und dass alle deine Wünsche in Erfüllung gehen !❤❤❤

Another lovely video,Darren.I also love Jude the Obscure.Still blooming in my garden.Your Dahlias are lovely.xxLiz

Thank's for sharing this amazing garden Darren !!! 🌷🪻⚘️🌺🌳🌾🍀🌲🪷🌸

Do you hand water everything or have a drip irrigation? Beautiful garden, always love your videos!

Darren your Garden looks so lovely and peaceful...thanks for sharing❤

Thanks for sharing. Is this an entire tour of all your roses? Also, do you prune each one of them?

Lovely!. Would you mind sharing a link of your garden tour if you have one?

Just planted 'the Generous Gardener' today. Hope to, eventually, get every DA rose. I have over 50 already mostly DA.

The first year I planted the EB shrub it bloom a lot of roses, this summer is not blooming at all. What can cause this shrub not to bloom any roses.

Rose Evelyn has the most beautiful scent I have ever smelled! I highly recommend you to buy it for your collection.

Thank you for sharing. This is exactly how I plan to grow my James galllaway. You’ve just validated and thanks for that. Did you install your trellis when the plant was young or did you place it after . How tall is your trellis..

Not much broken bits then at the bottom?

Also, what is the size of the pot you have for James gallaway?

Hi, Olivia and James fall away look the same to me. Are you seeing any difference? I’m a new DA collector with limited space. I already have James gallaway and alnwick and so was curious if it’d be duplicated

I really love your garden ❤❤

❤ i love your garden, how do you keep your garden so lush when it is so hot. We have had 90 degree weather with no rain. My garden looks so dry, even when I watered. What is your secret, if you don't mind indulging?

I can't source Jude the obscure, so opted for Wollerton old Hall as an alternative, second best for fragrance.

Hi Darren, do you know how fragrant David Austins Summer Song is and what you would rate it? Here in Australia, I bought a bare rooted patio standard of this last week and have planted this in a container. I've read reviews mainly from Americans that this variety was not the best for heat in their climate and therefore not a variety they sell anymore. I am hoping mine will be okay living in south east Australia where our Summer highs are 30 degrees and our winter temps get down to minus 5.

ty so much, this was helpful

It makes me angry Jude is so hard to get. They're just trying to push that new rose. I got 3 purple roses this year, Quicksilver, Silver lining, and Plum Perfect. I love them, but they don't have a fragrance. I think they look very romantic and fairylandish though. I will look for Twice in a Blue Moon. I bought a Florintina rose as well this year. It had it's first flower yesterday. Very cute. I think Lady of Shalot smells like moth balls. Thank you for your video. Your roses always look so nice.

Beautiful roses in a beautiful garden.

A garden tour is such a treat. Looks beautiful 💕💕

I cannot believe you have these lavender roses. I saw them in the catalogue and was mesmerized. I can't believe you get to smell them everyday. Lucky, lucky man!🥰

fabulous🌹

Lucky you! Here in Ohio, 90% of my roses have fainted until the summer 90 degree heat passes! Thank you for the description of Jude the Obscure, I contemplated long about getting either him or Bathsheba, but fragrance is the most important element in roses for me, I love also, the cabbage rose , vintage form of Jude. 1:15 decades ago I learned to speak/write both Spanish and French, in those romance languages everything has gender. So, assuming an unbiased stance, who is right, who is wrong regarding assigning gender to inanimate objects. Finally, I began referring to them as he or she and really, assigning gender to a variety of rose confers or adds to, the personality of the rose, and we know, that roses do have personalities. I myself would have assigned a female name to Jude, (Judith maybe?? LOL!) because of rhe gentle, feminine, orange sherbet color. 1:50 I am liking how you are assigning a numerical score to the scent of various roses, exactly how I think. For example, I assign a 10 to Eustacia Vye, my sinuses get intoxicated on her scent, Earth Angel I assigna 9, the opposite extreme, my Paschmina Veranda I assign a 0, no scent at all, then The Pilgrim's Wife, definitely a 10, to hold one and inhale is like a handful of rose perfume with definite grapefruit undernotes in the scent profile. But it is sounding as though my sinuses need a Jude the Obscure. 4:11 I do go for high scent, BUT, i have noted, that a medium level scent, on a plant loaded with flowers can perfume the garden better than a top 10 scent, but not so generous with bloom. So many variables in the "scent equation". 4:57 I see the beauty of your fozgloves, mine, alas, have rune to seed, dry and brown from summer heat. Certianly, though, new seedlings are enmerging even now. 5:28 The delphiniums, the foxgloves give your garden the quitessential English cottage garden look. If it were all roses, nothing else, it would lack the idyllic charm of the English cottage garden. When I am distracted with many things, especially wintertime, then an English cottage gerden suddenly comes into view, my heart gets so warm and happy. And Jesus did say to the malefactor "Today you shall be with me in paradise." Paradise is a pleasure garden. Heaven is a pleasure garden. 5:42 Speaking of bees, after I caught the swarmof honeybees hanging in our pear tree and hived it, I searched for a good location for it up on the hilltop up away from cool, moist valley air. I found no satisying place, so, the hive is directly 5 feet away infront of my work area. I walk past them, hundreds of thousands of them and never get stung, their summer humming adds to the idyllic summe ambiene. Oh! Tell Ava sweetie that I said hello to her!👄👄 6:13 And I hear the happy songbirds! 💚💚💚 6:25 Please! Hold still Florentina so that I can admire your beautifully quartered, vintage looking blooms! 8:01 Yes, valerian has a deep, low note, resinous, allspice scent. And the roots, which smell like bad feet, are believed to have sedative properties. Alas, I have written another short story inspired by your lovely garden. Nearly midnight here, time to crash for the night!

🧡💛 Jude💛🧡. I have two and planted two more this year which I hope survive. I have found Jude to be alittle fragile in its first year planted. Such a gorgeous bloom. Your garden looks wonderful as usual. 😃

Beautiful garden! Love your tours- so relaxing

I just found you a couple weeks back, but you are definitely one of my favourite gardeners ❤️❤️

Your garden is amazing

Your roses and garden are looking fantastic Darren! I agree with your scent rating on Gertude Jekyll. Just one bloom open on that plant and the scent is so strong and beautiful. It's my favorite of all the David Austin roses for scent. Happy gardening from Kentucky, James

Thank you for the tour, I appreciate the mention of fragrance with each rose. It's such a shame that Jude the Obscure and Lady Emma Hamilton rose have been discontinued. I love orange roses!
