English Garden Climbing Rose AUSbite

This is a highly sought after popular Japanese shrub rose, not always easy to find bought I’m so glad I was able to find one this year! The rose is beautiful being small to medium in size, the blooms are about 3inches when open, they are a lovely color of purple in its center and cool lavender on its outer petals - creating a ring around the central bloom. It does have a moderate to sometimes strong fragrance which is delightful. The rose is also quite disease resistant and I’ve had little to no issues with it in that sense. My only complaint is that despite how healthy it is it still lacks vigor, it is slow growing and doesn’t establish very quickly, this rose is also quite smaller than the average garden bush or shrub rose being only about 2 1/2 feet tall and 2 feet wide making it a great candidate for container gardening. I would recommend it just bear in mind it will take sometime to get established if you have the patience for it it’s definitely worth it!

I’ve had Jubilee Celebration for a long time, it is a beautiful and fragrant rose. The blooms are medium to large in size usually and are a wonderful color combination of varying shades of pink with yellow/cream on its petals undersides. The fruity/lemony fragrance is wonderful! The rose is quite bushy and blooms rather prolifically if being properly feed and cared for. The bush is also very disease resistant making it a low maintenance easy to care for rose. My only complaint is this roses blooms are a bit floppy for its thin stems, so often the blooms seem to be facing down - but this is easily solved if you pick them and put them in a vase. Highly recommended!

This is an older rose it’s been around for a while but it is still a beautiful addition to any rose garden! Bolero has a beautiful white/pink bloom that is medium in size. The fragrance is incredible! In my opinion the fragrance is a combination of rose, tropical fruits and spices - truly remarkable! Each bloom has over 100 small petals packed in making the blooms look very old fashioned and lovely. This is a rather small bushy rose, it only grows about 3 x 3 and is very well suited for pots and container gardening. It’s quite disease resistant but I do find it to be somewhat susceptible to rust in bad weather conditions. My only complaint is that it’s slow growing and rather slow to repeat bloom compared to more modern roses but it’s still worth while - recommended!

I’ve been growing Crown Princess M. For quite sometime now - it’s such a beautiful and healthy climbing rose which generously grows many long and flexible stems making it easy to train as desired. The blooms are about 3 1/2 inches to 4inches in size when in bloom and are a beautiful orange/apricot shade of color. It has a strong fruity fragrance and many petals when open, the color being deeper orange in its center and paler apricot/cream on the outside edges. I do find the weather to affect the color being deeper shades in cooler seasons and paler in hotter weather. In addition it’s also highly resistant to common rose diseases making it less challenging to grow - I’m not certain but I do believe David Austin is discontinuing this rose unfortunately, so if you want it you should grab it while you can! Thanks for continuing to provide this one High Garden I’m grateful for your great selection

I’ve been growing Koko-Loco for years and it’s such a beautiful and unique rose. Its brownish/beige color contrasts flawlessly with any other rose it’s placed next too. It’s quite a bushy and compact rose behaving very much like a floribunda in size and stature, well suited for pots and container gardening. The blooms start off brown in color eventually changing to more of a lavender color as the blooms age and begin to fall apart. In my experience this one is quite a heavy feeder and I have to give it a bit more than most of my other roses, not sure why that is but I’m happy with it and will give it whatever it wants as long as it continues to provide me with such wonderfully colored and shapely blooms, highly recommended!

Pleasantly surprised by vibrant root ball & healthy condition of my new rose! Seems much more likely to survive than bare-root …

Julieta French Florist Shrub Rose

A beautiful and unique rose! I bought this because of the amazing color this rose seems to offer during the seasons - the color seems to be highly effected by the weather conditions, sometimes being a brilliant bright red/mauve to a near black purple with a bright yellow stamen in its center. I find its fragrance to be somewhat elusive at least to me - hoping that will remedy its-self with time as it grows. It is a bushy rose and seems well suited for container growing. Looking forward to how it grows in the future

I’ve been growing Spirit of Freedom for about 5 years now, it’s a beautiful pink rose with sometimes huge blooms that are so large they look like they’re going to just burst and fall apart by the sheer number and size of its flowers and petals! The roses look like peonies or sometimes little cabbages, often times being deeply cupped. This rose has over 200 petals per bloom which is impressive and there is a moderate to rarely strong scent from time to time. It grows tall and is definitely a climber. I will say however like many of David Austin’s older rose varieties it’s not very disease resistant and can suffer from black spot, mildew and rust if not sprayed every so often in my climate. But it’s such a beautiful rose that I think it’s worth the extra bit of attention that’s needed!

This is truly a remarkable rose! It’s absolutely beautiful. It has a wonderful fragrance and such an interesting intricate appearance very much resembling peonies. The bush is very healthy and I have never had to spray it, it’s very disease resistant with semi glossy bright apple green foliage. I wouldn’t categorize this rose as a florist rose however, as it performs much more like a floribunda/climber often growing long octopus canes that can be pegged to a wall or trellis. My only complaint if you can call it that is this rose is SLOW to establish its-self as it is not a fast grower and will take a few years before it grows the medium sized peony shaped blooms that everyone desires it for. The first blooms I got on this rose were tiny and almost laughable - but give it time and it will reward the patient gardener with abundant and beautiful blooms for years to come! The color of the blooms also seem to be somewhat affected by the weather as well

So this is my 13th order with High Gardenroses and I bought it on a whim simply because it was such a beautiful color combination! I’ve seen mixed reviews about its growth habit online some saying it’s a bush, others saying it’s a climber - either way I’m happy they provide good descriptions on the roses they offer because as long as it’s fragrant and healthy I’m willing to work with it! The only size they had available at the time of purchase was their small size and I must say it is quite small! But I have high hopes for it and will see how it performs - looking forward to it

So I’ve been looking for this one to add to my garden for a while, it seems to be very popular and highly sought after as it always sells out before I get a chance to grab one. Upon discovering High Gardenroses website this year I was thrilled to see they grow and offer this variety. I shared this website with one or my best friends and she really like this rose - so I’d decided to order one for her as a Christmas gift. Hers was available sooner than mine as mine is still on pre-order. Thus was my first time ordering their small/med size and I’m very happy and am impressed with the size of the rose I ordered, I’m sure my friend will love it! I have yet to grow this rose in my garden but from what I’ve seen others say and their experiences with it this rose is bushy, prolific flowering, fragrant and healthy. The bloom it’s-self seems to be very old fashioned in nature, I have noticed thou many people saying the weather conditions upon which the buds develop HIGHLY influence the color of the flowers, seems like cooler weather brings out darker deeper purples and mauve colors while hotter weather will turn the blooms near pure white! Seems pretty exquisite to me I’d love to see the variations of colors this rose has to offer. This is my 15th purchase with High Garden and I look forward to their continued availability

Good size plant with 6 sturdy canes! Healthy and well packaged!! It dropped all its leaves and in no time budded out fully! It’s gonna be huge, I can tell by how fast it leaved out! Can’t wait to see the first bloom! Customer service is above and beyond. My delivery was set for 12/27 during Christmas time, and I asked if it can be sooner, they shipped it out right away and had it in my footstep within days. Prices are bit steep, but worth it for the quality, health and size of the plant! Happy!

I was glad to find the Lilas rose on the Highgarden Roses website, since it is an uncommon variety. The rose is healthy and actually growing in a big pot, even in the cold weather. I will be ordering from Highgarden Roses again.

So when I first saw this rose being offered online I could scarcely believe it was real, I’ve seen a few other vendors selling it through other avenues but none of them were offering them own-root and fortunately High Garden Roses does. The rose was a bit slow to get going but the new growth starts out a vibrant red later maturing to a deep glossy green. The flowers themselves are absolutely lovely and are a fascinating blend of coral, orange and pink - very old fashioned styled blooms & a good size, there is a subtle yet delight fragrance. I haven’t had this rose very long and it did take its time to get going but the summer heatwave’s we’ve had here along the coast didn’t effect it at all, if anything it’s been growing even better now. I can not overstate the beauty of this rose - don’t just take my word for it a huge CA grower of both rose bushes and cut flowers called Grace Rose Farm mentions on her website as well that she believes this to be the most gorgeous rose they have. Try it for yourself - I like it so much I’m thinking of getting another one.
