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.

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

Do you seal your pruning cuts. If not look for a round hole any where the rose was pruned. If you find a hole, something put there larvae in there. Even leaf cutter bees will lay larvae in cut stems.They eat their way down where they over winter. When you see a hole in spring before you prune for the season. Cut till you see no hole. Then cut the cane in half just above that and you can see the tiny black developing bee larvae. Of course there are many types of bore insects that can affect roses.

Should that cane start to wilt the sooner you cut the better as if something is in their it will continue to munch it's way down. If only the flower or bud is wilting than something laid eggs in it. Take them off and discard in garbage. You would not want the eggs to develop.

Usually he type of borer that causes wilting tips is not the type that drills nursery chambers in cut cane ends. The latter is the Small Carpenter Bee. I tolerate these without any major problems. One borer that drills way down the cane after starting near the tip is the Raspberry Stem Sawfly, but I don't notice them before July.

See the excellent Baldo Villegas page for his discussion of borers.

A common problem with rugosa roses in the North is Rose Stem Girdler. They kill whole canes by tunneling under the bark in a swollen area. Look for these canes in mid to late summer, cut below the swollen area, and bag or burn it. Otherwise the larvae survive winter and become adults that lay more eggs the following season.

I fill the very bottom of my big pots with old plastic water bottles before putting in potting mix and plants...it helps improve the drainage and makes them lighter to drag around when I need to move them into the garage for winter and what not.
