summersrhythm_z6aUpdated 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 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...

kentucky_rose zone 6Updated I got SUNSPRITE this year thanks to Sara-Ann. The bush seems healthy, but the big surprise was the wonderful fragrance! South Africa is another one to consider, if it is not too big.

Samuel Adk zone5aUpdated I agree with MichaelG about not to rush to a barrage of remedies. The garden center wants to sell you a few bottles. I think it is important to have good natural healthy soil. You can trust Michaelg to what works better than us no...

bethnorcal9Updated I agree with you guys on the SVR DE BADEN-BADEN. That's kind of a distinct rose. Not sure what the pink one could be tho. Definitely not BEVERLY or CROWD PLEASER. Looks like it opens up almost like a camellia and has distinct pont...

fragrancenutter(Zone 10b)Updated DD is a heavy feeder and she also loves iron so if there is any signs of chlorosis, adding iron chelate will improve its vigor. Like Cynthia said, pinching buds off do help the plant to produce basal shoots, even in my hot climat...
