Planting Roses & A Peony (Better Late Than Never)! 😁🌿💚 // Garden Answer

Laura I am a Critical Care nurse to say the past almost two years have been challenging is beyond an understatement! But a little over a year ago I found your channel….. I have always had a passion for gardening past down from my Grandmother (she taught me lots)! But you ignited a fire in me that I haven’t felt in a very long time! Because of you I found my joy of gardening again at a MUCH needed time! Your videos and gardening have become my therapy! For that I say an incredibly heartfelt THANK YOU!

Nice job, Laura. All those roses will be amazing next year, and the foliage on the peony is gorgeous. You don’t know why you didn’t get them planted before??? Really? Let’s see….pregnancy last year….with major discomfort in the rib cage and numerous projects. Then there was that beautiful new baby at the beginning of this year, removal of the gazebo (and removal of all the plants and shrubs around it), arrival of the Hartley, ripping up sidewalks, fencing and curbing, removal of the waterfall, redefining the lines of the driveway and lawns around the house, planting the cut flower garden and vegetable garden (and harvesting daily), planting….how many trees and plants in the south garden, edging…..how many miles of lawn….with a manual 6” edger, no less, planting up how many containers at your house (let’s not forget the neighbor’s containers). Then, of course, there was that “little” project at the community college, adding dozens of plants to your neighbor’s garden on the embankment (plus all the other plantings and things you did for neighbors, family and friends), trimming your grandparents fruit trees and cleaning up their vegetable garden, winterizing the cold frame, planting containers at the day care center and the church, and probably at least 150 other projects. Gee, Laura, I just don’t know why you didn’t get those roses planted before now! LOL. Even with Superman Aaron handling the infrastructure and the contractors, etc., etc., etc. you must admit you were just a little busy this year. 💕😌👍

Glad I’m not the only one who gets excited buying plants and then never gets them in the ground. Part of it is my indecisive nature. Never sure where I want to put them. I end up rearranging my whole yard 🤣 I have to say your plop and plant has worked beautifully. Also, hearing you say “I’ll just move them” takes away some of the anxiety!

Just went out for a walk in the woods and let me tell you our fall colours are popping so hard this year! We've also had some mild temperatures that allowed all of the flora to slowly and gracefully transition into their amber colours! Last year we've had some weird cold snaps that took away most of the leaves! I'm thankful it's not the case this year! Have a great day everyone! 😊

I love roses and peonies! You can never have too many. 😊 Thank you for sharing your joy!

LOL my husband just walked by and said "she needs to start paying rent, she's here all the time" :) Love catching up on older videos I've missed after watching the new one!

I know it's November and the garden is going to bed, but we haven't seen much of the old gardens around the house this year. Understandably, the focus has been on the exciting job of filling out all the new beds and pathways, and the cutting garden. Is it too late to do a pass through and see how things fared? ~ Lisa

Have you ever thought about allowing artists from a close college to come over for a day to paint or draw the flowers of a certain area? Your building that is being built now, might be a fun place for them to use to create a work of art from your flower garden area.

Absolutely agree Laura, the graft belongs beneath the ground, it's the standard recommendation by David Austin and it makes total sense. Such a shame the pots are made of unsustainable peat, hope they can find some replacements that are better for the environment. I'm sure there are some equally nice paper pulp derived versions. Replacing plastic is a great idea but not with something that harms the environment even more and it's not easily replenishable.

My pumpkin spice coffee and watching Laura plant roses this morning. You can't ask for anything more than this.

Oh my goodness the light coming through on your garden is absolutely beautiful! You are so lucky to have roses in your gardens. We moved to the country and planted a beautiful rose in my new garden which the deer throughly enjoyed. Who knew deer would eat something with thorns. Thank you for your beautiful videos and sharing your beautiful family with us.

Hi Again, First, thank you both for bringing such positivity to my day. You have this magic that helps me start my day on the "right foot"! This question is for Aaron... On Facebook I got flagged for posting a question about how Benjamin's Butterfly Garden is doing... Not understanding why or how their algorithm works regarding comments.. Could you please shed some light?

2:46 The kind of energy I need in my life!

So happy to see you planting some roses out on the South garden. I love how you have them throughout your garden, and prefer that look to a dedicated rose garden. Nothing like roses for blooms and fragrance.

I loved the way you work on the garden, you motivated me. Gardening it's my passion, thanks for everything you do. God bless you and your family.

Just loved the planting today Laura. Beautiful roses and a beautiful peony just can't wait to see them in bloom. Next year. And thank you for the great advice you always give to us so helpful.

The South garden is starting to fill in, can’t wait to see it come spring. Thanks for sharing your beautiful garden. You really inspire me as a first time gardener.

Always satisfying to mark a project off our "to do" list. I'm sure the roses are thanking you and will repay you with a beautiful show next year.

Girl, You can auger with the best of them. Love your angled technique to make a wider hole. You have come a long way!
