__My Channel__
Welcome to our channel!! Videos posted are meant to encourage and help future rose growers in the love of growing roses.
My story with roses began as a teenager, helping my father in his rose garden. We lived on a suburban lot but he grow almost 300 roses! My father competed in local, regional and national rose shows. His garden consisted of mainly exhibition hybrid tea varieties with some mini and mini floras. My biggest chores were digging holes for new roses, weeding, mulching, and putting down compost!
From that experience I found a love for growing lots of things! In my early years I grew vegetables and flowers. For our wedding we grew impatiens in pots all summer and used them as table centerpieces. In 2013 I started with 7 roses, a few for possible exhibiting (Gemini, Gold Medal), a couple from my fathers garden (Elina, European Touch, Ivory Touch), and two for fragrance (Mister Lincoln and Double Delight). In the spring of 2014 I entered my first rose show and won Queen of Show at the Syracuse Rose Society with Gemini. After getting King of Show at the 2014 NY State Fair with Elina, I was hooked!
In 2015 I won Queens at five straight shows (Reading PA, Buffalo, Syracuse, NY State Fair and the American Rose Society National Fall Rose Show). At Nationals, I won Queen with Moonstone, King with European Touch (yes, the bush from my fathers garden 2 years before) and Princess with Veterans Honor. My garden by this point had grown to 42 roses, mainly hybrid tea exhibition roses. In 2016 I won the Queen of Show with Crescendo in Syracuse before moving to Eastern North Carolina in late 2016.
Restarting a garden in a warmer climate was exciting because I could grow more varieties and try different rootstocks (fortunania). Challenges include working with almost 100% sand as “soil”, extreme heat and humidity, wind and hurricanes, lots of bugs and disease! Our garden consists of 44 roses, mainly for exhibiting in shows. Videos on this channel consist of the challenges and victories in our garden.

    I NEVER comment on videos but had to share how much I love your work, your clear explanations, and how you film your videos. It’s direct, to the point, easy to understand, and you make all of this very approachable. I had 50 DA’s installed this spring, taking my rose count up to 73. I was gone for work for six weeks and the garden was under the care of an “experienced” gardener while I was gone. It was an absolute disaster to come back to, she killed some of the new roses, and ignored others altogether. I have a lot of work to do but your videos give me hope and reassurance.

All the things a new student needs. Thank you. For those reasons, for me, this is the best video I have seen out of about 4 watched so far, and because of this video, I do not feel the need to keep searching for a good beginner video of deadheading roses. Thank you🙂

    I had a neighbor ask me, "Why are you cutting down your roses?" I said, "I'm not... I'm deadheading them." I explained how it helps the plant to create new blooms, and be fuller when it comes back. I use a battery powered small hedge clipper on mine. I made sure the cuts are clean. I actually have the best looking rose bush in the neighborhood. It's actually a square hedge now. 🐀🐾
