Q&A

Can you tell me more about the Olivia Rose Austin flowers in the garden?

Olivia Rose Austin is one of the best-performing roses in the garden, thriving in the soil and sunny position. It has staggered blooming, meaning not all plants flower simultaneously, but this particular one has a lot of spent flowers that need deadheading. It has more blooms ready to open soon, even before the first blush of flowers has finished.

What is the difference between the larger and smaller Olivia Rose Austin plants?

The larger Olivia Rose Austin plant is thriving and in the ground, while the smaller one is in a pot and needs a complete deadhead since its first flush of flowering has finished. The smaller plant in the pot has been watered heavily due to dry weather, with fresh compost added during the dormant winter period, but it may still not be enough.

How has the rose hedge progressed since last year?

The rose hedge, made up of Emily Bronte roses, has grown significantly since the previous year. Despite being planted in a slightly shaded area, they're doing well and the flowers are lovely with an orangey yellow center and soft pink petals. The roses have grown taller than intended, so they may be pruned harder in the winter.

What is the process for starting a new raised bed for annual flowers in the garden?

To start a new no-dig raised bed, a tarp is placed over the grass to kill it off. After removing the tarp, cardboard is laid to suppress the grass, followed by a layer of organic matter like duck waste, and then a layer of compost. This creates a bed that can be planted immediately.

What are some of the roses featured in the garden video?

In the garden video, various roses are featured: Olivia Rose Austin, Compassion, Emily Bronte, Francis Leicester, Lakeland, Eden, and unidentified David Austin roses. Each has unique characteristics, from colors and petal types to growth habits.

What is being done to cover the trellises around the garden?

The aim is to grow roses, like Francis Leicester and Emily Bronte, and other climbers such as clematis on the trellises to eventually screen them. Although the process is slow since many of the plants were grown from cuttings or small pots, there has been considerable progress since last year.

What was the challenge presented by the Lakeland rose in the garden?

The Lakeland rose grew larger than anticipated, revealing that the structure built for it to climb was not sufficiently sized. There is a decision to be made between moving the rose when it's dormant or building a bigger structure to accommodate its growth.
