That puckering can also precede powdery mildew that rarely turns into rrd thou it could.

The leaf distortion and discoloration photo also shows signs that the plant may be deficient in calcium ( the distortion) and that the soil may have a build up of salts from fertilizer (the brown leaf). Leaf samples sent to a lab to verify the lack of nutritional problems would be a good educational tool.

Love dragon flies, they're so pretty. I don't see any here in my garden, but I saw a lot of them by a lake in the Adirondack Mountains this summer.

It was a band, so I started it there. I am going to put it in the ground after this bloom cycle :)

The majority of the foliage is healthy looking. A few leaves yellowing are the norm for most of my roses.

YEA! I love British programming and the BBCA just doesn't cut it.

Hey Buford, if the ending of your user name is where you are and your zone then we are very close. I'm in NE Arkansas, zone 7A. I'm a transplant from Western Washington, zone wet and soggy (don't know the zone number). I've never planted a rose in the fall but around here it doesn't seem like a bad idea. I'm looking for a climber right now, to grow with my clematis so I may go ahead and buy Amadeus from them. Their prices seem to be pretty reasonable.

Yes, then multifloria would work for you. I know people in California can't grow multiflora because their soil is very alkaline.

I had no idea Mel's Heritage was now grown in Baden-baden. That's news to me. I didn't know the rose had found its way to Europe at all! I have no idea if anyone sells it in Europe. I've been completely out of touch with what nurseries are doing for the past four years, since I no longer do any work with roses. Good luck in your search. I'm afraid I'm not going to be of much help.

I finally got a scent from Tiffany. It smells to me exactly like lemon grass!

Lemongrass? Really! :) Mine (new bare root) smells faintly so far - but it's sweet. Hopefully yours will straighten out and smell right - that is unless you love the smell of lemon grass. :)

I like the banana smell that Acapella has. Smells exactly like those banana candy marshmallowy things..

Three nice Kordes reds that haven't been mentioned are Asso di Couri/Ace of Hearts, Lavaglut, and Lilli Marlene.

you can overdo the Miracle Gro. I only use organic fertilizers (Rose Tone, fish emulsion, alfalfa, composted manure). I will use a 10-10-10 ever once in awhile and also some bloom buster, but usually only before a show.

Dang, you had to spray your antiques? HMs? Polyanthas? Wow. I just live with the defoliated Austins...love them too much. But I don't have your winters, that's for sure.

So what else is looking good up there?

Ivor's Rose (now Flamenco Rosita) is bulletproof here. Nary a spot....ever....Clotilde Soupert...

I agree with Ingrid, roses worth growing do not include poisoning the planet and its inhabitants.

I have 2 Ivor's Rose they are planted in two completely separate places. They are in their first years and quite rambunctious. Boy they grow fast. Right now both have mildew that I hope is because they have outgrown their roots. No spots of any sort on them. Thank you for the comment it is appreciated.

Thank you. Note the one hour accession time. That's a big find. (A sad find, but a big one, nonetheless, as the only other accession time I'd been able to find for Emaraviruses was fifteen minutes for the virus that affects peaches.)

Wow. What about the miticides? How do they affect the roses, insects, soil, etc and how often would they have to be sprayed?

When are the mites most active.....if it only takes an hour...I agree with Ann...terribly sad.

Seems there still is not a way to PREVENT....

We don't have the extreme heat that you do but just to let you know we do have dew points in the high 60s and 70s thru summer. So disease pressure is high. That should help you better judge the health.

I'd move them indoors during the winter months just like my potted Jasmines & orchids. Ylang Ylang is a fat tree (pretty wide), I might have to trim them narrow, so they can fit inside. There is also another fragrant tree I tried in the past-michaela alba tree, it's very hard to grow in a colder zone, but I heard In CA, you can find it cheap at China Town market for about $20-25 for a good sized michaela alba. It cost me $75 for a 1' tall baby tree shipped from FL, and it was gone after 2 months. I should get a bottle perfume instead. :-) One bloom of michaela alba can prefume a whole room.........but that empty dream cost me $75. I could use another pair of red shoes. Love red shoes! I love rose fragrance, but it's very light in my garden, I thought if I mixed in with trees fragrance in the rose garden, it just like I dropped a bottle of prefume! :-)

Looked up Michelia Alba. I will keep a look out, thanks. Sorry you lost it.
