I got it as part of my brecks order and I adore it. So far it's had some of the Mose beautiful blooms I've ever seen. Perfect form and lasting power too.

Thats funny I do the same thing. First I can hardly wait to get them. Then I can barely wait for them to become established.

I have a red double that is about 6 years old and it's taller than I am. I cut it back a little every year and it's still taller than me (I'm 5'6").

This year I resorted to cutting off all the blooms/buds that were thrip damaged. This is a bad year for thrips. If you do that, make sure you put the buds in a plastic bag, seal tightly and put in the garbage, do not compost.

I did resort to spraying, I used Orthene, which exhibitors recommend. It is a strong chemical, but did the job. I misted any new buds with it, avoiding any open blooms.

Everything looks beautiful Andrea. I agree about the grass. Your hubby is so sweet to suggest more roses for you. Mine loves mine but tells me enuf is enuf. He is a sweetie and helps me a bunch but he doesn't understand he still has way more grass than he needs. lol Thanks for sharing, Judy

Very healthy and beautiful roses! I really like your bouquet. The painted roses are very striking. I admire people who grow roses in the middle of the lawn. You must be dedicated to keep the lawn edges sprawling towards your roses. If I were to do that in my hot climate I would have to trim the grass edges every week.

Yes I believe this is Henry Kelsey. If you check out Help Me Find roses then click on the search/lookup tab. Then type in the name of your rose and it will come up. At the top of this page there is a photo tab it will bring up many photos of Henry Kelsey. There you will see many of the different looks that the flower can show. It can show serveral shapes depending on the wearther. Hope this is helpful.

Could have sworn I added another post before I went to the grocery store, but now it is nowhere to be seen!

Anyway, to answer Patty's question, I've had Braveheart for maybe 7-8 years, and if something happened to it, I would immediately replace it with another one. That is how much I adore that shrub.

Yay! This is what I love about this forum - it connects people with rose questions with LOCAL folks with answers - in this case very local! Do take advantage of this, allencia - local knowledge about roses is the best you can get. Folks living in other places may try to give you advice, but they really have no idea how a specific rose may act in your place.

What you describe as brown and crinkly new growth could be normal new growth. Often the unfolding leaves are brownish, yellowish, or reddish.

If you have a yellowing cane that is not supporting vigorous new growth, ut may need to be taken out--but I would wait a couple of weeks if you are not very familiar with how roses grow.

Here is some information on leaf-cutter bees:
http://www.ext.colostate.edu/pubs/insect/05576.html

If something is tunneling into a cane further down, I suspect it is not a leaf cutter bee, but something else.

If you don't have a camera, do you by chance have a flat-bed scanner? Or access to one? Because you can put a leaf or leaves in one and scan it for a good quality image.

Failing that, I suggest that you take leaves to a good local nursery, and ask them about them. (Not a Home Depot or Lowes. A real nursery.) Failing THAT, see if there is a local rose society.

Opinions will vary, but I would leave it alone. Doesn't look active.

They may be long-lasting in a vase, but are rather short-lived on the bush. The joke is that it is named "Perfect Moment" because it is "Perfect" . . . for a "Moment."

I grew it when I lived in Fl. as a hedge. Beautiful color, great foliage and some of the most wicked thorns you can find on a rose bush. 20 of them across the back 50' property line. It put a beautiful end to a problem I had with my neighbors large dog.

I would take that cane off right down to the crown. It won't grow or bloom well anyway so get rid of it and let the plant heal and spend it's energy on the healthy parts.

Yes. Canes can sunburn. But this is not that. Cut it off down to healthy tissue.

You're welcome, Andrea. I think I am going to have to get Camelot again. I always liked those fat buds that opened into the large blooms.

Yes, Gail you should totally get another Camelot :)

Grace, Sonia, and Sharifa--three great beauties in rose form. Grace not only looks hand painted, she looks like fine porcelain bisque. Diane
