Fraser Valley Rose Farm

Here's a recording of a walking tour May 28 at Fraser Valley Rose Farm - focused mainly one the early once-blooming roses. Timing is always tricky for a tour like this: we missed the earliest blooming Scots roses (they finished last week) but still only caught the front edge of some gallicas and damasks. My sincere apologies over the audio. The wind played havoc on our mics, and even with some filtering in post it's pretty annoying. Thanks to our guests for being good sports about the camera and conditions!

Deadheading - the removal of spent flowers - is a technique you can use on annuals, most perennials and some shrubs to encourage a quick repeat of flowering. It also helps to maintain a tidy appearance, avoid unwanted self-seeding and to stage (schedule) flowering through the season. In this video I'll mainly focus on the deadheading of perennials and roses, and I'll discuss which plants are more (and less) responsive to this kind of management. Some topic notes: the list of perennials in the video is not exhaustive. There are many more perennials than those listed. YMMV. Response to deadheading ranges from none (peonies) to scattered rebloom through to a full 2nd or 3rd flush as the season allows. It can vary by species and cultivar even within the same genus, and many plants also have daylength and temperature responses that will contribute to their "willingness" to keep going.

If you'd like to grow roses from seed, a little patience is in order: the seeds take several months to mature from flowers, and most will not germinate unless they're removed them from the fruit and exposed to enough cold and moisture. In this video I'll show you the results of my fall collection of seeds from 'Snow Pavement' (a rugosa hybrid rose) and answer some of the common questions about rearing roses from seed. I'll also discuss some of the fake seedling videos and the photoshopped ebay rose seed listings.

Aphids can be a challenging plant pest in the garden. It's not that they're difficult to kill, and there's no lack of natural predators - but they're particularly good at reproduction. That's their superpower! So even if you can wipe aphids (aka greenfly) out on one plant or another, they'll literally drop in from the sky when you're not looking and begin another outbreak. In this video I'll discuss why heavy pesticides or any attempt at exclusion are poor long-term strategies for dealing with aphids - and I'll talk about targeted and biological alternatives.

We're getting more options when it comes to watering automation. I knew it was just a matter of time before the smart home style apps caught up with wireless sensors and valves. Here's an example of how the technology is being implemented: the RainPoint Smart+ Garden Watering System allows you to connect sensors for air temp & humidity, rain gauge, soil moisture and light levels. It allows you to program wireless irrigation valves (and/or programmable pumps & outlets) either by timed events or with cycles controlled by the sensor inputs. Cool. I'm already thinking about how I can use this to control mist in a propagation area! Time will tell how the sensors hold up to the elements and continued use, but as it arrives everything seems heavy-duty enough and it worked as expected out of the box. RainPoint wanted me to pass along a 15% discount offer for those interested in their full system (Super Experience Package).

No, really... it's not just clickbait. This is literally two full minutes of buzzing bees and crabapple blossoms.

Novice plant people: don't worry! Botanical Latin isn't nearly so intimidating when you understand that no one really knows how to speak it. It's basically a constructed language, like Klingon or Dothraki - except that those at least have fan communities who actually speak them. Botanical Latin uses a blend of ancient Latin, Greek, as well as names of people & places to make a written vocabulary that varies widely in pronunciation. It's super useful, and it makes sense to learn - but don't take it to heart when you hear people nitpick about the "right" way to say it.

I've seen some homestead enthusiasts turn a blind eye to ornamental plants in favor of traditional veggies and fruit trees. I definitely respect the goal of growing food and becoming more self-sufficient, but why narrow your assortment of useful plants? In this video I want to go through some of my picks of helpful plants normally considered "ornamental", and discuss some of their uses that make sense on a homestead or pretty much any garden where sustainability is one of the goals. 00:00 Intro 01:29 Color, Flavor, Sweetness 03:19 Forage for Bees 04:52 Attract Beneficial Insects 06:09 Side Hustle 07:12 Fragrance, Dye, Medicinal Use 08:36 Shade, Shelter, Soil Retention If you find these videos useful, here are a few things you can do to help us out: Send a tip: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/fvrosefarm Have a look at our Amazon shop: https://www.amazon.com/shop/fraservalleyrosefarm Drop us a "Like" on our Facebook business page: https://www.facebook.com/FraserValleyRoseFarm/ Leave a review of our farm on Google: https://g.page/r/Cfi8qXv8QReZEBE/review For shareable articles on roses and gardening: https://www.fraservalleyrosefarm.com/articles-on-roses-and-gardening/ Photo credits: Agastache Ambrosia courtesy of Terra Nova Nurseries Milkweed by R.

They say every rose has its thorn (and somehow I now have a tune stuck in my head!) - but in this video I hope to show you an assortment of roses that are less likely to puncture, scrape or otherwise harass you in the garden. A couple of notes: 1. Yes, I know they're botanically prickles and not thorns, but I'm also producing this video to search well on YouTube - and most viewers will be searching with commonly used language. 2. Even roses that are reputed to be "lightly armed" still quite often have small prickles at the base of leaves, and sometimes larger prickles on the stems. The ones I list here are smoother than most, but still not 100% free of poky parts. 00:00 Intro 00:53 Small to Medium Thornless Roses 02:56 Shrub Roses with Climbing Sports 03:33 Thornless David Austin Roses 04:02 Old Garden Roses 04:54 Climbers 05:53 Ramblers If you find these videos useful, here are a few things you can do to help us out: Send a tip: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/fvrosefarm Have a look at our Amazon shop: https://www.amazon.com/shop/fraservalleyrosefarm Drop us a "Like" on our Facebook business page: https://www.facebook.com/FraserValleyRoseFarm/ Leave a review of our farm on Google: https://g.page/r/Cfi8qXv8QReZEBE/review For shareable articles on roses and gardening: https://www.fraservalleyrosefarm.com/articles-on-roses-and-gardening/ Photo credits: Barkarole by Daniel Ramirez CC BY 2.0 Sophie’s Perpetual by T.

Like it or not, getting in front of the camera is a standard part of outreach for small farms and business. I've never featured my camera setup, but this new gimbal/stabilizer from Powervision (the S1 Pocket-Sized Gimbal) is really handy. It's small & lightweight, integrates by app with my phone, and I can use hand gestures to get it to follow my face, start or stop recording or take a photo.

These hardy succulents make it easy to propagate from stem cuttings, and as seen in this video, they sometimes even get a head start on their own! Many of these lower growing perennial sedums will root down wherever they touch the ground - so you'll sometimes see adventitious rooting along their stems. Even the taller and larger leaved sedums are relatively easy from cuttings by the same method.

Does it have to be a trade-off between lifespan and seasonal color? I admit, when it comes to a peony or Siberian iris, annuals are far more colorful and floriferous over the length of the season. But many perennials come out swinging with early blooms in the cool season, and others naturally bloom all summer, repeat if deadheaded, or round out the seasonal color with foliage & form. In this video, I'll breeze through 10 perennials that I think take top marks for long-lasting color interest in the garden.

Lavender has a reputation of being difficult to grow from seed. Much is made of their need for refrigeration or high light levels, but in truth the greatest difference you can make to seeding success comes with your choice of seeds! Here I'll go back through the basic conditions, but also recommend what you should be looking for in a seed supplier to help ensure fast, even germination. I've made loads of other videos on lavender. BTW.

Establishing a young climbing rose can be a bit intimidating. I generally recommend a light touch for the first couple of years, allowing the new climber to put on some vigorous growth, then reining it in with some well-planned thinning and training. Here I tackle 3 young roses: 'Eden' with thick, stiff canes, 'A Shropshire Lad' an Austin rose with medium firm canes, and 'Strawberry Hill' another Austin which so far has sent thin pliable canes. There's obvious not just one single way to approach this training, and even as I watch the footage in review I'm like "maybe I should have put more of a bend into that" or "I could have thinned a bit more on that one". That's okay - it's really a pretty forgiving process, and you really don't want to be paralyzed by trying to get it exactly right. That said, if anyone else want to chime in with their own suggestions, I'm quite receptive to hear your approach.

Roses or peaches? That's the trade-off in growing space. Oh well, I have the whole rest of the farm for roses - and Lisa loves peaches! They turned out great.

You might get the impression that it takes a lot of money to get into the plant business, and over the long-run that's probably true. However, the humble beginnings of most nursery businesses also include those early steps that were cheap or even free. The fact is that even some of the largest growers in the world started out without the growing space and money that they'd eventually need to thrive.

Plant growth hormones control every aspect of how plants grow: stretching, branching, dormancy, flowering and ripening. Growers and gardeners can manipulate these hormones as "cheat codes" to make the plants do what they want. We can do it indirectly, by managing the growing conditions, or directly through the application of PGR (plant growth regulators) that amplify or inhibit the activity of hormones. In this video I'll go through a (simplified) summary of the 5 commonly manipulated plant hormones: gibberellic acid, auxins, cytokinins, abscisic acid and ethylene.
