Poorbutroserich Susan NashvilleUpdated June 16, 2015 Thanks for all the helpful responses. Michael, good to see you again. Ann, the leaves are turning green. I read your E book and I would really like to catch any RRD early, if possible. The top growth is flexible but I wouldn't cal...

jerijen(Zone 10)Updated June 16, 2015 A strong stream of water from a hose will wash your fertilizers down to soil level where they should work just fine.

Is this growth okay?

jerijen(Zone 10)Updated June 16, 2015 Yes. Pull back the mulch and rip that growth off right where it emerges from the cane. The idea is to catch any dormant eyes that surround it.

dublinbay z6 (KS)Updated June 16, 2015 I can't say how Austins will grow in California, but here in the heartland, there are any number of shorter Austins to pick from. Just this morning I was admiring Munstead Wood and Molineux in the back garden--both about 3 ft tal...

dublinbay z6 (KS)Updated June 16, 2015 I'd guess your rose bushes have been visited by the same rose slugs (sawfly larvae) that tend to attack rose bushes every late spring/early summer. This is usually a temporary problem--then the good predator bugs come along and g...

michaelg(7a NC Mts)Updated June 16, 2015 Give it epsom salts then, 1/4 cup now and maybe one more dose this season. But do check the pH, as it may offer a long-term solution to Fe, Mg, and Mn problems.

keithogUpdated June 16, 2015 Jackie, I'm not sure if this is the graft But I was told tree roses have the graft at the top and this rose was definitely not a tree rose at least I don't think so. It never looked like the tree rose I searched online. I have not...

michaelg(7a NC Mts)Updated June 16, 2015 It looks like manganese deficiency rather than iron, because the little cross-veins are green. The pH may be too high.

seil zone 6b MIUpdated June 16, 2015 Those are still growing. On blind growth you wouldn't have those redder new shoots coming. The cane would simply end at that last set of very green leaves.

fragrancenutter(Zone 10b)Updated June 16, 2015 Nice one! My FP is only 1 year old and it was quite stingy with the flowers in the first year and the colour is not as intense as yours.

cjrosaphile(z8 Pacific NW)Updated June 15, 2015 I can understand why your eye was only on Julia, jjpeace. Just got Golden Celebration and it is like a climber, lots of bs and moderately fragrant unless it improves with age. It's on the fence for me unless you can tell me its wo...
