seil zone 6b MIUpdated April 4, 2015 Well, if you wanted to try and save the cane I would recommend taping the wound with some floral tape. That should help protect it. But if you see it's not doing very well then take it off right away to save the plant from the s...

fduk_gw UK zone 3 (US zone 8)Updated April 4, 2015 If they're on the underside edges of leaves they might also be rose sawfly larvae, don't know what the local name is, but they're a pest. I have the kind locally that lay their eggs into the cane, and they are a tremendous nuisa...

bethnorcal9Updated April 2, 2015 Sara_ann I had mine for probably 10yrs. It was in a pot the entire time. Not sure why it died. I'll be glad to have it again. This time it'll go in the ground at some point. Yours is lovely.
