I saw Twilight Zone yesterday at a Rose Show (best Grandiflora) and it was amazing.

I have Ebb Tide, and mine stays purple because I have it in part shade. In the hotter weather, if the rose gets a lot of sun, the color will fade. Especially in hotter zones in the South. If you have a spot that can get some afternoon shade, that would be ideal.

Most roses will slow down in 90 degree heat. Not much you can do about that. Just make sure they are watered well.

I found the article, It was not blueberry, it was blackberry.

"The case of Blackberry chlorotic ringspot virus (BCRV) is of particular interest because the virus has been found to be an integral part of blackberry yellow vein disease and is widespread in rose plants affected by rose rosette disease."

Ann, apparently it was an 'expert' that gave a seminar at the Greater Atlanta Rose Society. I was at their Rose Show yesterday and one of the members told me about it. I'm sure he either got it wrong or maybe this expert isn't really an expert.

Anyway, I am seeing SO MUCH multiflora this year. It's really scary.

I've never noticed the beetles in my trees but I can't say I ever looked for them either. I don't get a ton of them (knock wood) so maybe that's why I never noticed any damage.

In 2013, due to the 2012 drought, we had a good summer with few beetles.

I planted my first garden plant today, I found a Japanese beetle grub. I found two June bugs. I thought grubs would be minimal since neighbors in our neighborhood had experienced frozen water pipes which were buried 4-feet or more deep. I was optimistic that our brutal winter killed them, but no.

Lovely! I have 2 that have some winter damage, but survived the winter. It will probably be 2 more weeks before mine bloom.

Sara-Annâ¦wonderful pictures. Your roses are beautiful and healthy. Tiffany is my favorite rose and yours is outstanding. No roses blooming here yet, but I am surprised that I only lost a few. Many are trying to come back. Late blooms this spring. Keep sharingâ¦your roses are lovely. Lesley

Thank you, Lesley - I am so glad to hear from you and happy to know your roses fared better than you first thought, can't wait to see your beautiful gardens. I do agree, Tiffany is an outstanding rose, both mine have lots of blooms, the one in the picture looks a little better than the other one.

Thanks for the tip! I have always liked Lowes, but the nearest one to us was way too far away. Recently heard one is opening fairly close - will definitely check it out.

I bought Brandy at Witherspoon in Durham two years ago and it has done well. I don't know if they still have it or how expensive.

Several of my local Home Depots have Brandy, grafted. The selections do vary from store to store, so it's worth stopping in to check the selections at the big boxes if you have any nearby. I just picked up a Liv Tyler tree rose, I've been longing for Liv Tyler for two years.

My William Baffin just laughed off the cold and is leafing out wonderfully. My Livin Easy rose is growing from the ground as all the upper canes look dead and my knockouts are doing the same. All upper canes above the ground look dead with new growth coming from the ground level

Westerland endured a tough winter here. Not as tough as yours though. Some dead cane. Some alive to the top.

What's important is that the regrowth has been uneven, Some canes looked bad but had late growth. Others looked OK, then died. Meanwhile, there is lots of new growth coming from the base.

I agree with Seil. Give it a few more weeks. Then prune out the dead wood. Even if you are down to 6", Westerland will recover quickly and add 4 or 5 feet of cane by mid summer as mine does every year here.

Well at least I'm not alone, and I am lucky to not have completely lost any roses this winter like so many here. It was in the eighties all week this week so perhaps this bad spring is all behind us!

It sounds the your roses are healthy, just the small blooms. I hope that somehow that will bring on a beautiful later in the season flush. By that time my roses won't be looking so great, especially if we don't get some decent rain here.

Thank you. Boncrow - Sunsprite is one of my favorites, the blooms always look pretty. Carol I think you'll like the McCartney Rose. I already loved Pink Peace, but this spring they look especially gorgeous, the pink is such a lovely shade.

Sara-Ann: That first picture made my heart skip a beat. I've been feeling quite guilty about not taking any picture of all the lovely blooms that have happened this year, I'm swamped with gardening work! Therefore I am very grateful that you took your time to capture their utmost beauty at the perfect moment--someone should do it! :D I think you are becoming the new "eye candy-shop" owner here ;) Love and appreciation to you, your darling roses and grandchildren.

Carol - Thank you so much. You and others have been such encouragers and I do appreciate that so much. Hope everyone has roses blooming very soon. Rosbybunny that is such a nice compliment. I would love to see pictures of your roses when and if you get the time to take them and share. I think roses are so beautiful and I do love seeing them at their best, no matter who grows them. There are so many talented and gifted people on this forum, I have learned so much this past year.

Frost damage can look like that. If that is what it is, it isn't serious. It just looks wonky.

If you had frost or freeze warnings last week like we did I'll bet that's what did it. Gosh, I wish it would warm up and stay warm!

Well good! At least this awful winter was good for something. It certainly wasn't good for my roses!

I wonder if it will prove to have taken down populations of any other pests like aphids, thrips and Japanese beetles. That would be nice, wouldn't it!?

Both Heirloom and Angel Gardens list it but I don't see it in stock. Maybe you could contact them and see if/when it will become available.

Once I find the right spot among the roses I'll hang my new sign.
