Michaelg, I don't think there's a swelling at the base of this twinned base -- if there is, it's to the left, where there's a wide place. There is new growth from this base.

Are you suggesting severe pruning?
It rebloomed, but If I were to replace it, I'd prefer fulltime blooming.

Alt-replacement idea: Deep red. American wisteria is on the other side of that arbor.

I hesitate to say a hard pruning because I killed my Dublin Bay that way. I blew up your photo and I do see some growth here and there up the canes. I would suggest you start at the tips and clip off a piece looking for a good clear and moist greenish white center and work you way down removing only the wood that isn't healthy. Then wait a bit. It hasn't really been all that warm for very long and it might just need some extended warmth to kick start it. We have just come out of two successive bad winters and a lot of roses are sort of in shock I think.

These are the pictures of my charisma. Very cold hardy in my area and a lovely bush.

Yes, I think it's Charisma too.

Oh so sorry to hear this, Vickie! Yes, cut off any dead growth and water, Water, WATER it. You need to wash the plant thoroughly and flush the soil. Don't fertilize it either. Just keep it watered and be patient. It should recover.

Wayside Garden website 10% off code: FABWG.

Also, DA website 10% off code: BHG14. Just ordered Gertrude Jekyll potted rose from them and the code works.

Joopster and Seil, I usually specify on my DA order when I want my bareroots delivered (late March/early April). They always follow my directions. So maybe next time put down a general date and see if they come through more promptly for you.

If you feel you need to spray with a miticide, try something with the active ingredient abamectin. There are other miticides on the market, some are specialized so you need to know for sure which mite you're spraying against. Not all are advisable for roses due to the potential for tissue damage. Spray in the evening twice with 10-14 days between applications (or follow the label). If temps do not regularly exceed 83F you can mix that with light summer horticultural oil in the first application. Oil will destroy the eggs. Spray on the canes also. Always do a test spray to make sure you have no tissue damage.

Hmm well I think I will still try to not spray pesticides and endeavor to find a natural way that works in high heat and humidity to remove the mites. Thank you truly for the idea though!

RU will not spread through the roots. But if you are applying that close to other roses, either use a paint brush or sponge (it's best to use the undiluted RU for this) or use a blocker when you spray. You can use a piece of cardboard or plastic to block any spray from getting on surrounding plants.

Are you sure it is RRD? Since they are outside the neighborhood, could someone have used Roundup near them? The symptoms are very similar and Roundup can drift about 30 feet when sprayed....I learned the hard way when I first started growing roses.

Whatever you do, forget about using Sevin, it's too strong, not a good thing after all. I just want to mention that.

I prefer plastic or resin pots because they weigh so much less. Even if you never think you'll have to move it, trust me, you will, lol! I also prefer lighter colors. The darker colors get hotter and in a hot zone like yours might not be so good for the roots. I have some minis in pots that are maybe a foot tall and wide and then some in pots more than twice that size. It depends on the mini. I'm not familiar with Crazy Dottie so I'm not sure how big it might eventually get.

However, do not put the tiny band right up into a big pot to start with. Depending on how big it looks and how full that 4 inch pot is when you get it, I would suggest you start it out in a 1 gallon pot first and grow it up in size before putting it into a full size pot. I've found they seem to do better that way.

Thanks again for the great info! I am really looking forward to receiving and growing [hopefully!] this rose! Will keep in mind the lighter weight and color container when I head out to select the perfect pot for it :)

Grande Amore seems to have better disease resistance than most red HTs. It wants to be 4 ft wide and 5 ft tall.

I hope all your babies surprise you and come back strong! It is heartbreaking to lose those rare beauties. Good luck and do keep us posted on how they're doing.

Have a little patience. It will grow into a nice strong plant for you and will be the rose you wanted and not some substitute climber just because it's big. I think you'll be surprised at how fast those tiny guys can grow!

I got a small Jasmina like a rose band from Edmunds last month, I thought I was ordering a bare root. I am glad to hear Jasmina grows fast. Chris, would you please post some photos when it's in bloom? Thanks

I think it's time that we should cool down. Take a step back and remember to be kind to each other.

We should remember that on the other end of a posted message is a human being and the ways we say things may hurt someone's feeling no matter how right we think we are. We share the knowledge of what we know and let people make their own judgments of what will work best for them. I feel confident that we are "old" enough to make that call.

I concur Bayarea. My sentiments were intended to parallel yours. Henry, I am not in disagreement with your points and your story resonates with all of us, I'm sure. Buford, I see your point completely. The transmission of RRD is a serious matter as are the effects of the usage of dangerous chemicals.
