danuv 7a NW Ga.Updated May 26, 2015 Graham Thomas should get between 5-6 hours of sun there. Watering him should't be a problem but thanks for letting me know. My baby Abraham Darby (or Darling as my son calls it) throws a fit if I go more than a couple of days with...

seil zone 6b MIUpdated May 25, 2015 If you go out and shake the bloom a little you'll see how much water it collected. Water is heavy and makes the blooms nod like that. Once the water drains out and the bloom dries it will stand back up.

How to approach this monster

seil zone 6b MIUpdated May 25, 2015 I agree with Michael, let it finish that gorgeous flush. Then you can prune it back some as you dead head it. As it grows back for the re-bloom begin tying it up to a support.

roseseek(9)Updated May 25, 2015 MOTH was bullet proof in Encino and I've raised a few seedlings from it. The rose has performed admirably in Europe as well as here in the US. Robert Rippetoe has done well with it. He is obsessive about disease issues and as they...

sowandgrowUpdated May 25, 2015 I have only had my roses 3 years, and my memory isn't that great so I was waiting to see which roses were cane hardy..now that they are leafing out I will start trimming them back to the ground (the dead canes that is. I hadn' s...

What happened to Double Delight?

redsox_gwUpdated May 25, 2015 One of the roses I lost was Duchesse de Brabant, a bit of zone pushing and now, dead. However, Cramoisi Superieur is alive and well although it never gets large. I think with DD planted at the soil level and then soil erodes ove...

seil zone 6b MIUpdated May 24, 2015 A lot of varieties, particularly older moderns, were never tested as own root plants from the start. Own root wasn't an option. Everything that came out was grafted so marketers could produce big plants faster for sale. So bree...

KnockOut comparison between red and yellow

blueKYstream(6)Updated May 23, 2015 The pink and red knockouts have had better vigor than the sunny knockout for me. The whiteout (almost knockout) blooms as much or more than all of them, but I don't think it's quite as hardy, the bugs like it and it has slightly ...

Kez (Z7 OK)Updated May 23, 2015 Buford, what a shame. From the picture you posted, mine looks very similar to yours. Your comment about seeing one at Lowes that didn't look the same explains why i've seen a few pics of 'sweet vigorosa' on the internet that lo...

meredith_e Z7b, Piedmont of NC, 1000' elevationUpdated May 23, 2015 If it's easy to just prune below those parts, I don't always return them. It depends on how quickly they bounce back from the pruning. But definitely cut off any black on any you keep. They should grow to be healthy in a good spot...

meredith_e Z7b, Piedmont of NC, 1000' elevationUpdated May 23, 2015 It looks like you might have another one there. In the pic above, the old-looking cane growing vertically to the left of your good green cane? Unless that's just fully woody and definitely very old, chop that one off, too :) It lo...

Kachana(DFW Zone 7)Updated May 23, 2015 Thanks, Seil. Now that you mentioned it, I don't think I have fertilized it. I'll wait for Michaelg's opinion before giving it some Osmocote though.

moroseazUpdated May 23, 2015 I had SDLM for several years and it had a great fragrance. In a local public garden, they had several SDLM's and there was little or no fragrance. I often wonder if all the bushes sold as SDLM really ARE SDLM. Sadly, my SDLM ga...

Does anyone grow Michelangelo HT rose?

moroseazUpdated May 23, 2015 Figure it's got to put out roots or it can't stand up. If you're living in a warm soil zone, it probably will take a little longer to establish than some of the shorter plants. Since it is so tall, I think of it more as an uprig...
