nummykitchen(Z5B)Updated May 28, 2015 I love my Montezuma! It has been going strong for a few years surviving our brutal winters and constantly giving lots of beautifully shaped coral orange blooms. One that I can count on for that perfect HT rose form that I love.

Please name this rose for my friend!!!

cadiarose(zone 7a, NJ)Updated May 28, 2015 I would guess it's Julia Child. She has shiny leaves like your first photo, loads of blooms like your 2nd photo. A great floribunda to have.

seil zone 6b MIUpdated May 28, 2015 You have had so much rain of late that it isn't surprising at all that things are spotting. If you can wait out the weather it should clear up on it's own.

seil zone 6b MIUpdated May 28, 2015 Many roses have red new growth that turns green as it matures. That alone is not a sign of RRD.

People are so nice here.

michaelg(7a NC Mts)Updated May 28, 2015 Fish as a foliar spray can burn rose leaves, especially in hot weather. Otherwise, no problem with the simultaneous application, since Rose Tone has a low percentage of fast nitrogen--just some urea in the chicken manure. About my...

seil zone 6b MIUpdated May 28, 2015 If they're both pre-emergents Iwouldn't think so. Those only prevent seeds from germinating.

michaelg(7a NC Mts)Updated May 28, 2015 I missed this thread when it started last winter. I watch a couple of TGs in a no-spray garden here where they are pruned as shrubs, just cut back in spring to 3-4'. They are big but not huge monsters. The problem is that the late...

meredith_e Z7b, Piedmont of NC, 1000' elevationUpdated May 27, 2015 Yeah, my Eden gets a bit of BS, but nothing it doesn't shake off fine here. I have him in really good sun now, because that also helped with the re-bloom. Mine looks so pretty right now! Last year he didn't even bloom because he g...

summersrhythm_z6aUpdated May 27, 2015 Do you know how to use a slingshot? :-) I think that should scare squirrels away. I bought one from a horse barn for $5.

meredith_e Z7b, Piedmont of NC, 1000' elevationUpdated May 27, 2015 They can eat a ton if they find your roses, yep! But I leave the butterfly ones, too. I have a big enough yard that they can go on my herbs, where I don't mind them stripping a whole plant bare for their survival. I very rarely fi...
