michaelg(7a NC Mts)Updated New growth can be purple, russet, or light green, depending on the variety. Then, as the tissues mature, chlorophyll develops and obscures the base color. In some varieties, the bark never greens up.

Patty W. zone 5a IllinoisUpdated Just don't do what I did. Back in the early days I just amended the planting hole in an other wise dryish area. I created the proverbial wet hole and if there is one thing grubs love it wet soil. So the next year when poor rose lo...

SoFL Rose z10Updated Love this rose! Such a great combination of warm yellows and oranges. She's quite stunning. I would soak it over night and put it in a pot so you can baby her until she's happy and leafed out. Then I'd put her in the ground come f...

fig_insanity Z7a E TNUpdated Oops...sorry. I missed seeing that your rose is a Joseph's Coat. It's a fairly good grower, but I doubt it can keep up with multiple full-grown plants of yellow jasmine. I'm assuming you're talking about Gelsemium sempervirens, or...
