seil zone 6b MIUpdated With some deeper pruning when dead heading they should be fine. The pots will need to be BIG if you want to keep them in them for a long time. Use large pots with lots of drainage holes, no trays under them please, and a good qu...

dan8_gw (Northern California Zone 9A)Updated Yea sorry, hybridized does sound much better lol. I just think that it's fascinating we've bred different roses to have traits of our liking. Some cultivars that we'd never find in the wild, and that would have a hard time existi...

seil zone 6b MIUpdated Dr Huey is a rather gangly climber. It only blooms once and then the rest of the season it just black spots. It's not worth good real estate in my opinion. Maybe if you have a spot that's iffy for a rose and you want to see how...

Buford_NE_GA_7A(7B)Updated I did see a JB the other day. Just the one. They usually coincide with my Magnolias blooming. And they love to hang out in the magnolia flowers, but don't eat them. It does seem that the thrips get worse each year. As I said, we w...

sutekesh Switzerland(6a)Updated So sorry to hear about all of your losses. Seems I was lucky but we had a mild winter. All my pots survived but I had them in the shed. Only lost three in the ground, 2 Amber Queen and a Cherry Brandy.
