reesepbuttercup 7a- UtahUpdated I saw those and was really tempted. I didn't notice color tags on the ones I saw so I wasn't sure what I'd be buying. I'm looking for a dark/bright pink climber.

ilovegardening(10a San Gabriel Valley of L.A.)Updated Thanks for the input, jerijen. You're so right about the water issue! I'm in Arcadia, and we're in a tie with Beverly Hills for the largest percentage we're expected to cut back on water, 36%. I'm doing my best, and have actually ...

seil zone 6b MIUpdated I agree with all of the above. I've found that shorter and wider at the bottom is always better than taller and narrow. If you have any winds to contend with that tall narrow pot is doomed to tip over!

KarenPA_6bUpdated I will say the foliage on FM stays very nice for me throughout the season. Not much blackspots that I would notice. THe only thing with FM is it is not very winter hardy. One died last winter.

Buford_NE_GA_7A(7B)Updated As much as I can get my hands on! And I try not to disturb the soil. Since I use compost and mostly organic fertilizers, my roses tend to have many feeder roots right below the surface.

nanadollZ7 SWIdaho(Zone 7 Boise SW Idaho)Updated Frankly, I can do without the cold weather, and I am jealous of you, fragrance. This chill was the worst in twenty some years of rose growing because it came on Nov 15, 2014, when all the roses were not dormant, and things still l...

AquaEyes 7a New JerseyUpdated I'm not on LI anymore, but I'm nearby. This year, aphids came a bit later than I expected, but were mostly gone by the time the first blooms opened. I've also been seeing LOTS of baby ladybugs in and around the garden, so perhaps ...

jkellydallas(8a)Updated If it were a climber, I think it would be very obvious by now. I thought I bought an Iceberg, but it turned out to be a climber by the Fall having planted it bare root in January. It was VERY clear that it was a climber, and it ...
