fragrancenutter(Zone 10b)Updated Sonia Rykiel covered in new shoots and flower buds. No disease. I do not spray this rose. It is 6 months old in a hot an dry climate on Fortuniana. I cut all the flowers for indoors so no open flowers to see on the plant.

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...

seil zone 6b MIUpdated I just recently read something about a 1/2 a cup per standard size rose and 1/4 cup per mini. Jim is correct though, it should be stated in the instructions and you should read and follow those.

lucas_tx_gwUpdated The more people we can get looking for it and removing affected planted especially the neglected ones in commercial plantings, then perhaps the disease level will die down enough we might be able to grow some roses, the way it's g...
Can Running Roses & Yellow Jasmine Co-exist?

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...

deervssteve(9)Updated Back when I had a lot of roses, the beginning of the season pruning was distressing because of cane subtraction. Start with three, then two, then one. I've seen rose bushes with 8 or more and I think it's some kind of miracle. Sin...

luvsflwrs(6B (Boston))Updated Diane, that's a good idea, thanks! Comtesse, yes, there is a US Austin site, and that's where I got CPM from. I don't know why it didn't occur to me to check with them - I got the new catalog in the mail 3-4 weeks ago, and put it ...

michaelg(7a NC Mts)Updated Roses need 3x as much nitrogen as phosphate. Phosphate stays in the soil indefinitely, but available nitrogen leaches out in a month or so. If you use a high-P fertilizer like 5-10-5, you have to apply a 6-fold excess of P in orde...
