Sam is right. Bt is safe and it works.

....,,,but it's hard to spray a tall tree. Will Bayer's Advanced 12 month Tree & Shrub Insect Control work for tent worms? I use that for my ash trees, we have emerald borer problem in the area, it saved all my ash trees.

A picture if you can it does sound like herbicide damage or possible rrd.

Yes, Roundup damage often appears as stringy, feathery growth.

Going back over the old messages I'm not even finding info on it. So, I'll put it in some soil and see how it does. Next spring I'll see what kind of rose she really is. If she needs the shovel no big loss.

some of my favorite roses have been $1 roses!

Very pretty indeed! Now to find it.

You can find Jeanne all over the place. It's pretty common. Be fore warned though, it gets BIG! Mine was about 4 inches tall when I got it in June. It's about 3 feet tall now and my friends have had one for years that COVERS the entire side of their garage!

The grass looks awfully close to the roses, and the roses will get a lot larger. I would remove at least another foot of grass along the row of roses to give the rose roots more room.

Ingrid.. I agree with u and that's my spring project...to make more roomy beds by removing the grass by a foot on all sides.

For now I would cut away the dead parts, water well and put the rose in bright shade, no sun at all. This will allow the rose to recover and, as hot as it is right now, your rose really doesn't need sun until it recovers. I would snip off any buds it has now or produces while it's recovering so that it can focus on growing stems and leaves.

Thanks so much, everyone!!! What you say makes perfect sense. I have moved it to a shadier area and the heat is dropping off some now. I will definitely rotate from now on. It is up on stilts and wrapped in fabric but I guess that just wasn't enough.

Thanks again!

I think your plan for it is fine - it will be OK in the larger pot until Spring, when it would love to be put in the bed you mention. Glad you are keeping it - I am sure you will love it when it gets going in its new location.

Your Rainbows End Rose is beautiful! I love it!

Besides well done compost I spread leaves, small branches, etc. on the beds... But never kitchen scraps mainly because of critter problems...

I've been burying kitchen scraps for many years and have not had the opossums or racoons do any digging. J.Kelly nailed it. Turning scraps into a puree will hasten decomposition, not replace it. Shame on that demonstrator.

Pat how do I message?

Hmm, I'm not sure how to send a message now through houzz here's my work email with some spaces added to avoid raising any flags...there are actually no spaces in it

Thanks Patty, got it. I'll look for Master Garden at our Home Depot. 95 C. here today. Probably not good idea for starts right now.

Oh dear I said Home Depot and meant Menards. Home depot does have many kinds that will work like miracle grow and others.

My best performers this year were About Face, Anna's Promise and Hot Chocolate. Ann's promise was new this year. The other 2 were nearly destroyed last winter, but came back strong.

About Face

Anna's Promise

Hot Chocolate

Most of my old roses were neglected for a few years for various reasons and I had to repot all of them. they are just now beginning to recuperate and bloom. A few of my Breck's Sale Roses have been outstanding:

All Ablaze

all of these next ones have never been without blooms.
In the Mood

In the Mood buds in front of my new favorite yellow, Summer LoveSummer Love. Every bud has taken my breathe away.

Pink Home Run. I have been so impressed with this one. I wish you could have seen it before the storm knocked almost all the blooms off

Tropicana: I used to have it and was so glad to receive it in the collection

Veteran's Honor: New to me this year, slower rebloom than the others, but worth waiting for.

Veteran's Honor. Need I say more.

Any time they are growing. But don't apply large amounts without a soil test. Malcolm Manners says that same symptom can be caused by excess boron in highly acidic soil. Also, though it is uncommon, some soils have an excess of magnesium.

Thank you all for your expert opinions. I'm going to do a soil sample. If it is edifying, I will share the results.

Thanks Seil, I wasn't talking about a foliar fertilizer.

Sara, Thanks for asking this question, I was wondering about the same thing. I will do the same today. I am off today! :-) Happy gardening and more blooms! :-)
