bluegirl_gwUpdated What Cynthia said. They don't look like they're dying, just look like old, somewhat neglected bushes. I'd take out all dead wood--including trimming off those stumps of canes that have already been whacked--take off that dead stu...

Dingo2001 - Z5 Chicagoland(5)Updated Oh a day of nursery shopping! How fun! If you are cutting through Des Plains on your way to Chalet, Pesche's and Lurvey's are right next to each other, they sometimes have some good stuff. I haven't been in either one yet this yea...

Does anybody grow or know anything about Ausonius?
Posted by smithdale1z8pnw
smithdale1z8pnwI've had him about 3 years, it's a Lambert Hybrid Musk 1932. Seems to be a slow grower but healthy. I can find very little info about it on HMF & not much more from the Vintage Gardens catalogue. Per HMF it can climb & Vintage...

mustbnuts zone 9 sunset 9Updated Thanks Ingrid. I read about your efforts with SE after I purchased her. Now, I can't even remember why or what attracted me to her in the first place, to get her for my yard. I will let her grow for at least a year and see if I...
Fairy Roses

mad_gallica(zone 5 - eastern New York)Updated I don't think I've ever seen Lovely Fairy. Michael says it's a sport of The Fairy, so I'm assuming the growth habits are the same. Zones alone are almost worthless. Zone + state + part of state if the state is large tells us a lot...

ingrid_vc so. CA zone 9Updated They are darling, but probably much less so when you wake up one morning and half of your roses have been nibbled to the ground. Rather than killing them I wish there were some way to "shoot" the does with a dart that ...

vasue VA(7A Charlottesville)Updated Another fan of White Lightnin' from years past, also looking to add to this garden. Plan to call Roses Unlimited (own root gallons) to check availability myself. One good thing about own roots is that if the branches freeze out, t...

dan_keil_cr Keil(Illinois z5)Updated When pruning, the inside of the cut of the stem dictates how far to prune. The inside of the stem should be a creamy white color. IF not keep going down. The new growth will not be supported, if the wood is not good. Almost every ...

seil zone 6b MIUpdated I use it too. I think it's made a difference in how much black spot I see. They seem to be stronger and less susceptible.

summersrhythm_z6aUpdated Thanks Patty. I like the bare root roses I got, I planted them today. This was my first time ordering from them, when I ordered them I didn't see anything about bands. Thanks for the clarification. I ordered 25+ bands last year,...

Ken (N.E.GA.mts) 7a/b(7a/b)Updated Just happened to think, not ALL my roses get my mix. My Rugosa's get something quite different. Mostly sand. Wheel barrow, 10 big shovels of sand, 2 shovels of bagged soil, 2 shovels of native soil and a big hand full of leafs. Mi...

emily2002(8aFL)Updated Martha is growing own root. Havent run across nematodes where I am. I've heard nematodes dont like pine straw or other pine products and since I have pine trees on my property, I mulch with the pine straw and oak leaves.

summersrhythm_z6aUpdated Beth, Good deal for $2.00 each, soak them in the water for a day, they might be Ok. Just got back from 125 miles group ride, it's a beautiful day here. You have a good trip to HD! :-)
