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...

towsoniteUpdated I know this was an old post, but I had the same exact thing happen with my Golden Showers. The top died during the 2014 winter, re-emerged but never bloomed in summer 2014, and now it's blooming in 2015. (i.e. no old wood that fi...

Is White Out a Knock Out Rose?

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...

sockwattsUpdated I mist my rose bush with water and sprinkle blood meal on the foliage. Trust me the deer leave them alone. I have many deer in my neighborhood so I can say this has been tried and tested.

cjrosaphile(z8 Pacific NW)Updated I have Cinderella which is a micro-mini. She's doing well in something way too small. Awesome to have something so tiny, most people think it's something else other than a rose. My other miniature is Wonderful News. Should have po...

nanadollZ7 SWIdaho(Zone 7 Boise SW Idaho)Updated I've just got to get some photos of this damage for you to see. The worst of the damage seems to be winding down rapidly. Your description is quite similar to the damage on my roses. Buds are either "drilled" out in the ...

dublinbay z6 (KS)Updated I agree with Cecily. Remember that after a week or two of activity, rose slugs disappear--because the good predator bugs arrive and eat them up. While the rose slugs are present (and you often have to squint to see the tiny gree...
