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...

msdorkgirl(11)Updated It rains indiscriminate of weather forecasts because I am in a valley so Blackspot is definitely an issue for me, as are thrips and spider mites. I am currently monitoring how much I water to make sure I'm not overwatering, and gi...

michaelg(7a NC Mts)Updated Always remove caterpillars. You can see that he has just eaten a leaf. You could move him to an apple, blackberry, or cherry if you like.

Joe Moose, Zone 9AUpdated Alright, just moved the seedling to the pot, and found it was two seedlings! Separated and took a closer look at them. One of them has a habit familiar with Dr. Huey, but no mildew at all, so I"m rather confused. The other is...

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...

blueKYstream(6)Updated I'm sorry about your Love Song. I had read that it was winter tender, so I chose Poseidon. I'm not sure how well they compare except for color though. Hopefully, you can get another or find one that suits your needs!

nippstress - zone 5 NebraskaUpdated For what it's worth, here's a bloom from my new JFK from Lowe's, for comparison whenever yours blooms. There's the vaguest hint of cream at the center in the bud stage, but this disappears to the snow white blooms Seil mentions. Y...

nippstress - zone 5 NebraskaUpdated From what you know about these roses, you seem to have the front row vs. back row as good as you can know, though Dark Desire is too new to know exactly how big it'll turn out to be in different zones. I'm planning on mine being r...

yellowduckyUpdated Thanks SO much everyone. I posted this and then promptly went out of town, so I'm sorry for the delay getting back over here. What great advice. Searching locally is a great idea. There is a rose garden in downtown Raleigh that...

michaelg(7a NC Mts)Updated The product shown is neem oil with the azadirachtin removed. It will burn leaves in hot weather, as will baking soda--or even in moderate weather if the plants were not well hydrated before spraying. The large purple smears could ...

cjrosaphile(z8 Pacific NW)Updated When I first started with roses, I remember getting quite upset about any disease or bug issues, concerned that my new roses would die. After a few years, I saw a pattern develop here in rainy Oregon. After the roses leaf out , it...

fragrancenutter(Zone 10b)Updated It also depends on how hot it is. For example, we are heading into winter now in Australia so blooms like Jude the Obscure will last 3 days. In summer it will blow in one day! Thank goodness it is always in flower. Jude the Obsc...
