Patty W. zone 5a IllinoisUpdated Neem oil is better than most for an organic solution. It is toxic to bees so spraying towards evening after bees have gone to bed is helpful. I do have bumble bees that spend the night on blooms. Watch spraying in hot weather I di...

roseseek(9)Updated No, and we shouldn't. Not only are they not all worth saving, but there is finite space for them. You have to throw out the out-grown wardrobe to make room for the new, even if the out-grown is still useful. You simply pass it alo...

cecily(7 VA)Updated Mine is 8 years old and our springs are always cold, cloudy and rainy -- I haven't seen small flowers on Marie. I'd be awfully disappointed if mine ever did that, I understand your concern.

comtessedelacouche (10b S.Australia: hotdryMedclimate)Updated I understand the various Medics thrive in soil that's low in Nitrogen, so your soil report goes a long way towards explaining this chronic infestation. If left to grow and turned into the soil when they come into flower, well befo...

ingrid_vc so. CA zone 9Updated It looks very nice now, but I really would encourage you to snip off any new buds that come along. There isn't much mass to the rose yet and it really needs to build up a framework of branches. Blooms on a small, struggling rose...

seil zone 6b MIUpdated Could be a lot of things. We get this a lot here in the spring. I've been told it is canker, black spot, downy and freeze damage. Take your pick. I've found what ever it is those canes don't do well and should be removed.
