NDDeb Zone4aUpdated I just found out that the yard was sprayed but we were assured they protected the plants with cardboard before spraying. The peony next to the rose has some tough looking leaves too, and saw that last year after they sprayed. Th...

'Rio Samba' and 'Strike it Rich'

hoovb zone 9 sunset 23Updated 'Rio Samba' was a good rose but it faded badly to a muddy color--the sun is very bright here, so YMMV. 'Tuscan Sun' is quite good in that color range. But that is here--I have no idea what it is like in zone 6.
Lots of disease after a month of cool weather

hoovb zone 9 sunset 23Updated The hot-humid thing--it's not as bad as I expected. Suppose to be back to good old June-Gloom tomorrow. It's been so dry for so many years I've forgotten about foliar diseases--perhaps this is a harbinger of the heavy El Nino win...

john_ca(CA US9/SSZ14)Updated I received a "mystery rose" from RVR a year ago that looks like this. After going through her online catalogue, my best guess is Lovely Fairy.

kidhorn2Updated I've had good luck cutting out infected canes. I know what to look for and anything remotely suspicious gets cut. Better to lose a few blooms than an entire bush. If it shows up again or the infection is on more than one cane, the...

ittaydUpdated So, the nursery that develops these roses replied to an email inquiry and said this rose is probably not Don Juan but Oklahoma, and I think it is not even a climber. Looks like I'll need to uproot it...

fragrancenutter(Zone 10b)Updated I agree with Brittie that the flowers flatten and lose petals in the heat. But I cut Babs in tight buds in Summer and she will slowly open in the vase and retain that classic high centered HT shape. She also flowers a lot in Sum...

Is White Out a Knock Out Rose?
Posted by jardineratx(zone 8, Texas)
17 Comments
blueKYstream(6)Updated My Whiteout Rose blooms probably more than any other rose I have. It's a great "landscape rose" as many would say. It blooms well, but is not a showy flower or fragrant. It isn't technically a knock out rose. My whiteout...

rozilla(z9LA)Updated I've gotten probably 20 of various colors over the last 3 years, and they have done one of two things. They've either gotten far bigger than what you have in mind, or they just died for some unknown reason I've yet to figure out...

jjpeace (zone 5 US/zone 6 Can)Updated I seem to have this problem too. Most of my roses have a few leaves like that but no holes. I just snipped off the leaves. Hopefully that will work.

jjpeace (zone 5 US/zone 6 Can)Updated Well it is supposed to be healthy but it may be the area you live in with different strains of bs. Then again it is a new rose and probably stressed out from transplant. I would wait and see what happens. Just clean up the area of...
