michaelg(7a NC Mts)Updated 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 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 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 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...

nippstress - zone 5 NebraskaUpdated I agree with Steve. It's unusual to get rust in our regions, unless you have a particularly susceptible rose. With nearly 1000 roses, I may have seen it once in 10 years. This has been an extraordinarily wet spring and early summe...

nippstress - zone 5 NebraskaUpdated That's at least good news to know what it is, so that you can start to manage it. You've gotten some great feedback from other folks dealing with thyroid issues, so that's encouragement that it can be managed. Sympathies on the ne...

vasue VA(7A Charlottesville)Updated Just for curiosity & to be on the safe side, might clip a discolored bloom into a ziploc for observation. Same weather here recently, also thought rain damage. Yet bagging showed thrips leaving trails inside the bag, which fog...

cleangeek(Zone 9)Updated Getting back to humidity: if you live in a humid area you still need to water, humidity doesn't effect the roots. Plants get most of their water from the roots. Always use the finger test no matter where you live: stick your finge...

jasminerose4u, California 9bUpdated Looks like you have a Hoverfly (scroll up) in your photo, also known as Allograpta obliqua. The larvae eat aphids and thrips. The adults are important pollinators.

seil zone 6b MIUpdated That plant is not getting enough water or nutrients. It looks like there's been some kind of root damage. Do you have moles or voles or anything the burrows and eats roots in your area?

seil zone 6b MIUpdated Heat will make them open quicker than usual. Cool slows them down. That's why exhibitors refrigerate their roses to keep them from opening too soon. I've had some of that off and on too. One day it's 85 and the next it's 65. ...
