A place to learn, be inspired, and have fun gardening!
Throughout the year, please stop by and visit my Minnesota, USA (Zone 4) garden. Regardless of where you garden, I hope that my videos and pictures will be inspiring. For me, gardening is about creating beauty, finding peace, making people smile, learning new things, providing habitat for critters of all types, and let's not forget, great exercise!
My self-described garden style combines elements of English cottage gardens, Japanese gardens, and even the mountains of Colorado. I am an inclusive gardener in that I treasure all (well, almost all) types of plants, be they native or imported exotics, trees or ground covers. I hope you'll agree that diversity makes for a far richer and interesting landscape.
Yours in gardening,
Rosanne

Just beautiful ! 🥰❤️👍
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video on how your beautiful landscape and garden plans evolved, from beginning to end. I have watched more recent videos of your garden, and always have loved your selection and placements of everything you have planted there. It truly is fairytale and whimsical, and just lovely to view. This video was a treat, to see the pictures of how bare your property was before you embarked on the transformation of your property. I love seeing the before and after, it's so inspiring. And shows the possibilities when something like this is well planned and executed. 👍😊❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
please, how do you keep weed out of the moss?
I hand weed it. Just my fingers or small tool.
Shed?? You could open an airbnb 😂
Ha!
This is the most beautiful garden I have eves seen...
Thank you! That is so very kind of you to say. My husband and I just love sharing our garden - glad you could visit!
@RosannesGarden it is true, I have seen some other videos, and the time and love you put in this garden is evident. You also have fantasy and creativity, so that that garden has a very special soul. Maybe that is why the slugs don't eat the hostas: out of respect😄😄.
And why are your hostas not even a little bit eaten by slugs???
I don't really know why our hostas are not eaten by slugs. We do have damage, but it's not always visible because we have so very many hosta. We use triple ground pine fines for mulch. Perhaps they don't like it? We applied beneficial nematodes to our garden over 20 years ago. Could it be the reason? Don't know, but we'll take it!
@RosannesGarden right I heard that the nematodes should work. I will try thay, "my" slugs are even eating oleanders which are hard and poisonous. They have eaten eeeverything up 😪
Really enjoyed the tour. You have a very soothing and inviting voice.
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the garden transformation! And, I always appreciate flattering feedback ;)
Thanks for the information. I am in Canada and just discovered this beautiful moss. Your information was invaluable.
Yay! I’m so glad you found the video helpful. Irish Moss is just such a special plant.
Love your videos. I live in the upper midwest and bought a blue moon wisteria after seeing your video. Do you have a video on how you prune your wisteria?
Hi there! Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I do not have a video on how I prune it. But I will say that I prune it very hard every fall. I would say I take off half of the plant mass. Throughout the summer, I also prune it regularly to keep the stray branches from taking hold in an unwelcome place. I wish you all the best with your blue moon!
Thank you very much for your expertise. You answered all the important questions. I can tell that you know what you’re doing.
You are quite welcome! I’m glad you found the video useful.
I just love all you climbing flowers support structures, so beautiful, I can't wait to see what else you have to share. I'm looking for a fragment climing rose, any suggestion?
Thank you! I do love climbing roses! Sorry, but I don't have any suggestions for those with a good fragrance - I just haven't looked at roses in a very long time. Of course, your growing zone will matter. I imagine warmer zones (than zone 4) will have many more choices. Fragrant climbing roses is a worthy pursuit. I wish you the best!
@21:30 I grow Ghost Ferns instead of Japanese Painted Ferns. Same look, but they get much bigger and thrive everywhere. I divide it all the time and it comes back fuller than ever. Can tolerate poor soil and almost complete shade.
Thank you for that tip! Japanese Painted Ferns can be fickle indeed (at least for me). I do sure like their look, however. Ghost Ferns are a great alternative.
Great tip! Japanese Painted Ferns can be fickle, but they sure are pretty. Ghost Ferns are a great alternative.
What if I don’t have a growing light where can I put them?
I can only speak with experience on using grow lights. However, without grow lights you could try near a window, but be sure there isn't a draft. I'd start with a location that gets sun, such as an east-facing window.
Your hostas are gorgeous!
Thank you! We've been fortunate with our hostas.
@@RosannesGarden You're welcome! I used to have a hosta named Helen! She's down at my old house!
I’ve been wanting to try growing Irish moss for awhile, and today I found some at Home Depot, of all places (in 6-packs of dense, healthy plants). Like you, I’m in Minneapolis, so I really appreciate your videos about the conditions and how you’re successful with it. Here goes….!
Greetings, neighbor! Yay for Home Depot! I’m so glad you found some and are going to try it. Funny, I was in Home Depot two days ago, and I saw someone walked by with some Irish Moss. I had to do a double take. I wish you all the best!
It's been a while since you have posted a video, I hope you are doing well.
Hi! I know it has indeed been some time. I hope to publish some new videos, but life seems to keep getting in the way. I appreciate you watching my channel and commenting. Thanks!
Super video!
Thank you very much!
Great presentation. Very Zen and beautiful. Thank you. Best wishes.
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Great video. These are great, under-rated flowers. I bought them locally years ago, but now have difficulty finding them. I just got some seeds and will try your method. Cheers from Killeen, Texas. Do you use 3" or 4" cow pots?
Hi Killeen and Greetings to Texas! I’m glad you found the video helpful. I use the smaller 3 inch pots sometimes round, sometimes square. That way I can normally fit 21 pots in a standard tray, which I believe is about 10 x 22“.
I have never cut my clematis's back. They are HUGE! And the bloom like crazy. They're done now, except for the double bloomed Clematis. It's still Flowering like crazy. I am in Western NC.
Greetings to western North Carolina! With your climate, I’m not surprised that your clematis grow huge. I think that one of the main reasons to cut clematis is to keep bloom closer to the ground, as well as keep the clematis behaved and fitting to the trellis.
We ran twine up for the top of the trellis. The blooms tend to stay near the bottom portion of the Clematis plant. I've had the biggest Clematis for about 30 years. I've had the double bloomed for about 10 years. Plenty of sunshine through the early part of the day, and shaded after. Well mulched. Love them.
It sounds absolutely beautiful!
WOW, LOVE YOUR GARDEN!!!
Thank you! ☺️
Your garden is absolutely breathtaking and inspiring! It has given me so many ideas for what I'd like to do on the narrow side of my house. ❤ Btw, could you tell is where you found that absolutely charming frog spigot (2:27)? I have looked for one just like it for the past nine months, but it appears to be elusive.
Thank you! I’m so glad you found the video helpful and retrieved some ideas for your own garden 🪴 Side yards can be quite a challenge. As to the spigot (Toady), I bought it from a catalog years ago. I believe it was styled by or made by Caruth, or something spelled close to that. I wish you all the best with your gardening and the hunt for your own “Toady”
Your garden is amazing! Thank you fo the tips
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed the video and the garden tips. Have a wonderful gardening season!🌿
Thank you for such a beautiful stroll down the side path garden. You've provided so much inspiration for a project in my own yard. I think I could watch this video many times over and gain insight with each viewing.
You are quite welcome! I'm so pleased to hear that the video provided inspiration and information. Putting together this video was a winter project, and a fun one. Glad it payed off!
Great job on this video!
Thank you! It was one of my first videos.
Have you written any gardening books? I totally love your style and need to get my own garden started. I lost my gardens here when we had a modular house put in and the contractor took a bulldozer to remove trees he felt were in the way and plowed my gardens, the trees and the topsoil from my gardens up the hill to our field. Now I need more topsoil and have to begin again with a new garden, but I just turned 70 years old and have more health problems than you can shake a stick at. But I can’t imagine living my golden years with the piles of soil and no garden that the contractor left behind. Luckily, we have beautiful wildflowers that grow around us, but my husband won’t leave them alone and mows them down periodically. We have differing opinions on wild flowers. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
😖 that contractor!! I can’t imagine how you must’ve felt after that happened. I’m glad however, that you have the will to start over. I have not written any books, but I do think about giving it a go from time to time. My best advice, as someone who is also aging with some issues, is to fill out your garden with a good amount of low maintenance plants, such as hosta. Then, in smaller doses, use flowers or plants you’re especially fond of. My weakness was Calla lilies. But, I had a lot of hosta that I didn’t have to worry about. Wildflowers are lovely, and typically fit into the “low maintenance “ type of plant. Maybe you can convince your husband of their beauty, and ease of care. 🌸🌿🌻🌹🌞 I’m sorry I couldn’t be more helpful!
@@RosannesGarden Actually, your ideas are perfect. If I move the wildflowers I love to the garden and tell my husband he can’t touch them, then he won’t because they will be in my garden. I absolutely adore hostas, which are perfect for my new garden area. I live 20 minutes from Cornell U which has a wonderful herb garden and on the other side is a hosta garden with all kinds of hostas. I would like to plant some herbs as well, since I use them frequently now for medicinal purposes. I’m fortunate that Cornell U is so close and they have classes for the public. I hope you decide to write book. You have much to offer fledgling gardeners. Thank you for your advice.
Thank you! How was your success rate on this tray? Are they in the ground and thriving now? Did you keep these inside under grow lights like this all winter and then plant them in the ground the following spring? I'm wondering if I could put some in the ground now?? I have a good sized deep purple clematis that I'd love to spread around the yard. I LOVE THEM!!!!
Greetings fellow clematis lover! It’s been a few years now, and I believe I had about 10 healthy plants come from that tray. I planted three of them to make a nice large clematis cluster in the garden. It is featured in my vines and climber video. I think it’s #1. After I took the cuttings, which I did at the end of summer, I put them under grow lights for winter. It might seem like a lot of work, but I love some gardening to do during the winter months and enjoy nurturing the little guys. It is a wonderful way to clone a really good plant. I wish you all the best! You could certainly try cuttings now and planting them - that’s a fun thing about gardening - trying new things and seeing if they work. 🌿🌞🌹
What did you do with the woody vine?
I’m not sure I understand your question. Any of the vine that I did not use to create cuttings, I discarded.
Hi where can I find where to purchase the trellises?

LOVE your explanations and your absolutely gorgeous garden! just bought some this week & I'm even more excited to start in my teeny little backyard oasis
Glad you watched "Part 2". Sagina subulata is often a mis-understood plant. All the best!
Exquisite!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
wow - looks beautiful! I just bought a few of these & am going to put them in this weekend- I am not a fan of grass and this looks just like what I'm looking for in a small "trouble" section
Thank you! Have fun on your project!
Wow
🌞🌹🌿
Great video! You are so nice! Make more videos plz. 😊
Thank you! That is very sweet of you to say. I’ve had a couple of health issues which have kept me mostly indoors for a while. I hope to do more videos and get out to the garden. Thanks for commenting!
So glad I discovered your channel. You’re my new favorite!
Thank you so much! Sorry it’s taken me so long to respond, but I do thank you for watching, commenting, and most of all subscribing. I haven’t done a new video in a while, but keep meaning to. I’ve had a couple of health issues, but can’t wait to get back into the garden.
Do you ever have problems with roots and your house’s foundation or plumbing? That’s my husband’s objection to more plantings. Also, it looks as though your neighbor to the south did a tear-down and you lost a lot of light. Have you had to consider new plantings there? Also - I was just at Gerten’s yesterday and saw a Louisa Crab - after watching your videos so often, it was like meeting a rock star. (I’ve probably posted the same comment last year lol)
😂Lousia is a rock star! We have never had any issues with roots and our foundation. The trees we plant nearby have relatively small root systems, because they are relatively small trees. Also, especially in the case of the espaliered apple trees, we use a drip irrigation hose placed near our path, away from the house. Roots typically grow in search of water, so they should grow away from the house. The garden did evolve here and there, but mostly the plants (especially sun-loving roses and apple trees) were fine with some increased shade from the new construction. Have a wonderful growing season! Maybe I'll see you at Gertens!
All I can do is daydream during your videos of your gorgeous home and stunning property. You describe everything so perfectly!
Thanks so much 😊
im never get tired watching this video ! great video!
Glad you enjoy it! Thank you for such kind feedback. I had fun making this video - The plants cooperated and I like using lists ;-)
Which sedums or ground covers are deer resistant?
Having lived in a densely populated area, we have few deer. Therefore, I cannot speak from experience. It is my understandings that sedums, in general, are deer resistant because of their bitterness. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
@@RosannesGarden Thank you, will look into it! Happy Mothers Day gardening!
Aap plant De sakte hai hme
😀🌺🌱
Hi Rosanne, I love your videos and your flower beds are stunning. Do you have the contact information for the artist that created your large trellis by your front door? It is truly magnificent, I would love one in my flower garden. Thanks Carole
Thank you! I'm glad you are enjoying my channel! I no longer have the contact information for the artist. It was sometime ago. Maybe a blacksmith could do one for you? Depending on where you live, there may be forgeries or metalworks companies that do custom work. Good luck!
@@RosannesGarden Thank You!
Thank you, I love calla lilies. Mine are yellow and pink, and just beautiful. Your garden must look gorgeous when they are all out. From Australia, Victoria. God bless and may it be a wonderful season.
Greetings to Victoria, Australia! Yes, it is a sight to behold when both the white and red ones are in bloom! There really isn't another flower that is so elegant. I'm sure your yellow and pink are absolutely beautiful.
Ffffffffff. I was given some Spring bulbs I'm learning how to plant -- I didn't realize calla lilies had to be dug up in zone 5 like Dahlias. I thought they were like Asiatics you just leave all winter. Well thank you. I have much to learn.
🙂I'm glad you figured it out before next winter! Digging up bulbs in the fall is a lot of effort, but I hope you'll come to appreciate the ritual. Calla's are so beautiful and so worth the extra effort.
thankyou very much
You are most welcome
Will there be new Roseanne's garden videos in 2024
Hi, my apologies for the delay in responding. Also, thanks for watching my channel! I hope to produce more garden videos in the future, but am not sure when.
Hame ye plant lena hai kitne ka hai
Google Translate: I'm sorry, I do not know what it would cost where you live. Seeds should not cost very much. That's how I start them every spring. googlai anuvaad: mujhe kshama karen, mujhe nahin pata ki aap jahaan rahate hain vahaan isakee laagat kya hogee. beej kee keemat bahut jyaada nahin honee chaahie. isee tarah main unhen har vasant mein shuroo karata hoon. Google अनुवाद: मुझे क्षमा करें, मुझे नहीं पता कि आप जहां रहते हैं वहां इसकी लागत क्या होगी। बीज की कीमत बहुत ज्यादा नहीं होनी चाहिए. इसी तरह मैं उन्हें हर वसंत में शुरू करता हूं।
Great video.👏👏👍👍
Thank you 👍
It's absolutely beautiful ❤️
Thank you! 🌺
Beautiful flowers thank you for sharing
Thank you! I'm so glad you watched this video. So far, it has not been popular 🫤
Just what I was looking for. Great video with super ground covers for zone 4 , I'm in Roseville MN. Our home is located on a lot by pond. Unfortunately is very hard to grow grass on this slope under Norway Maple and I was looking for the best ground cover to prevent soil erosion. Thank you very much. Your garden is wonderful.
Greetings neighbor! I used to live in Roseville many years ago. I'm happy you were able to get some ideas on ground covers! From what you describe, you have a challenging spot. Rather than always defaulting to Hostas, as I have very often in my gardening life, I like the ideas of using ground covers more. Good luck with your project!
