2023 Rose Tour - A Really Rough Year

3 years ago
last modified: 3 years ago

From freeze damage and insects damage, most roses did worse than last year except for Olivia Rose Austin (but that's not saying much since Olivia Rose Austin did very poorly last year).

    What a beautiful garden! I agree-if that’s after a rough year I cannot imagine after a good year!

    What a view, how enlightening! I am wondering what is the rose at the end of video, outside the window with soft creamy pink/golden color?

    forever_a_newbie, that's Olive Rose Austin, the yellow hue is from the thrip damage on the outer petals, the Romanic Filter in iMovie just make it look better than it actually is....

    Oh I see. Maybe it is the light. -2’ also shows Olive Austin but that looks different. Your rose garden is amazing! Thanks for sharing

    Always such a treat to tour your

    gardens. You must have hidden the ugly ones because everything on your video is magnificent.

    How did Double Easy Orange winter over?

    Kristine, lol, indeed the ugly ones didn't make it on film, Double Easy Orange looks half dead, 2 of the julia child also died that's why the hedge is not looking right, the roses are not blooming in sync like last year. I'm actually surprised i can even get these decent footages of them.

    What a disappointing spring

    I hope that your garden gets with the program

    Gorgeous garden, Hoang although I can see why you might be disappointed for maybe a bit less bloom compared to what you had last year, which was mind-blowing. I think everyone around here will have issues this year due to the late frost.


    I am not sure what happens if the plants loses small buds to frost early on. I guess the plant tries again but it doesn't seem to have as much breath/energy the second time so even if the bush grows back back nice and strong, that first flush is not what it could have been without the early frost.


    Right now my bushes look like huge healthy salad (I fertilized and sprayed) and not that many buds. I anticipate significantly less bloom than last year. Not sure if this is due to the early frost or because the fertilizer caused the bush to grow more leaves and less buds.


    Hard to nail it just right.

    Gorgeous! I had such a wonderful time watching your video. I absolutely love how to set up your garden with groups of the same rose together. I love love every one of them.

    It's so beautiful regardless Huong! Thank you for sharing, it is really inspiring!


    I can already tell how these late frosts are going to cause issues for this first bloom round. This week I had my Highwire Flyer bloom and Twilight Zone, and lots of the flowers are malformed. I'm just grateful for any blooms after waiting through winter!

    Beautiful garden and beautiful video! Didn’t you get a Caribbean Breeze last year? How did that do?

    I'm sorry it's been a rough year Hoang Ton. Your garden still has so much beauty . I love watching your videos, looking at gorgeous roses and listening to all the birds! I hope that the season improves for you. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video.

    Hoang ton, I didn’t see the 2022 tour, but your 2023 was beautiful. There’s lots of pretty blooms and your foliage looks very healthy. Where do you grow all of those roses with no blackspot? I grew The Poet’s Wife a few years ago, loved the fragrance, but I couldn‘t get rid of the blackspot. I could almost smell the lemony fragrance in your video. Thank you for sharing your garden.
