Plants I Will Not Grow Again

This had me laughing out loud, as people know I have certain no no plants that I won’t grow. Love your honesty 😊

The older I get the longer my ‘not in my yard’ list gets. My list is much longer than yours.

Aucuba is like that when it is planted in the wrong place. Put the Aucuba in deep shade and it will get some deep green leaves with some gentle yellow shades. Lovely plant in the right place

She showed a picture of pavement roses/rosa rugosa. I have these and the torns are not bad. It's a carefree variety that sends up nice runners that I easily propagate for new plants. Perfect for erosion control! I highly recommend them!

I agree about many of these selections. Like SandyTigard, I have a LONG list of "not in my garden" plants. Roses is one of the top.

I loved this video and agree with so many! Was totally going, finally yes someone feels same about roses. I have one more I passionately dislike- mahonia (obviously not thornless) My mums garden I now look after has one that is huge and viscous. You can’t escape being spiked, even the youngest leaves. Even worse the dead leaves when trying to do weeding and clean up and I’ve not yet found gloves that they can’t find their way through! I can appreciate flowers and berries but I’d rather they were far away from me! (Rant over) 😆 I say rant over but I just remembered when tidying roses (not in my garden) last summer standing up and getting spiked in the top of my head - had an impressive amount of blood down the face. Still couldn’t convince them to get rid!

Hello from Poland! Bishop's weed indded! Can't get rid of it! The same with Accantus. But... have over 400 roses. 😵‍💫Hovever, hate berberis 😂. LOVE YOUR CHANNEL, thank you.❤

Bluebells. Great in a wood in the country but a nightmare to eradicate! Also florists daffodils. Bred to have long stems for the cut flower trade, they flop over and the leaves get in the way after flowering. Much better to stick to the tiny ones I think!

I totally agree with creeping Jenny never again

Iceberg roses are nearly thornless. I have the same problem with roses tearing my skin. I love the icebergs, both in white and pink.

Haha, I love your honesty. I so enjoyed this video.

Rosy, you’re delightful! Appreciate your honesty and warnings. We’re beginner xeriscape gardeners in TX (3 yrs). Harsh conditions w/ climate change. Feel the same as you about a few popular plants here recommend to us - nope! My husband will enjoy this video. And I’ll be laughing all day! 😂

I love your honesty,you are funny,but I'm taking everything on board,thank you so much.xx

There are thornless roses. Goldfinch yellow and white, Bleu Magenta mauve Kathleen Harrop pink fragrant and a dozen more. I agree about creeping Jenny, black bamboo and Bear breeches. Just thugs! Thanks for the tips !

Talking of roses.......bet you've never had to argue with the 'Rambling Rector'..absolutely vicious thorns, but worth ot for the vast quantity of small white blossoms (c144/ raceme) that smell of apple blossom!

I really enjoyed this video! I actually love plants with thorns myself & have a particularly soft spot for David Austin roses, but I totally get what you mean. I keep thinking that because I love them, surely they wouldn't hurt ME! 😂 That does not always work of course. Thanks for sharing!

I agree about the yellow splotches. They look like paint dripped on them. But I love silver variegation, especially if it’s stripey. Purple variegation looks like bruises to me 😂

What a pleasure to listen to you Rosie. Quite fabulous

That’s cheered me up! So good to hear an expert declaring reasons I share for disliking some plants. Great sense of humour too😂

Hi, once again, a great video. I had creeping jenny in a container. It escaped and took over a flower bed. 😮
