kublakanUpdated Compared to the hardened roses that I've bought on Dr. Huey, this is a normal occurrence for an older bush. It always amazes me when basal breaks shoot from old wood like this.

sara_ann-z6bokUpdated That's interesting Steve. I guess it can be one or the other. Most of my hybrid teas are mostly one bloom per stem with a few clusters here and there..

Desertgarden-Las Vegas, Z9aSally Holmes did not survive the move, and recently, I learned of Nevada. I only owned Sally Holmes for about a year; own root, and it was a healthy vigorous rose. Those of you who have experience with or knowledge of these roses,...

Buford_NE_GA_7A(7B)Updated Yes, you still need to keep the proper ratio for each fungicide. If you are great at math, you can probably mix them in one container at one time. I would have to use seil's method. I have enough trouble figuring out how to mix on...
