henry_kuskaUpdated October 19, 2015 I wonder if strengthening the rose immune system against mildew with salicylic acid (aspirin as substitute) or hydrogen peroxide would be sufficient. http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/tpj.12966/abstract;jsessionid=226249B...

jasminerose4u, California 9bUpdated October 18, 2015 Mine is just a year old, but is maturing nicely. I separated the plants by soaking the root ball. There were four altogether when I purchased the Parade rose. At first I kept two together and gave the remainder to a friend. But I ...

B TorresUpdated October 18, 2015 I thought Burlington Nursery would do custom grafting. You have to pay more, of course. Cool Roses may do it as well. Contact them, it can't hurt.

Buford_NE_GA_7A(7B)Updated October 18, 2015 Really thick layer of mulch is the best weed blocker. I also like bark chips. I only use pine straw on hills.

Sara-Ann Z6B OKUpdated October 17, 2015 Thank you both. Kate, your blooms still looked lovely, even though your bush wasn't vigorous. Jack, yours looks great! I'm not sure what the answer is, I hope mine just needs a little more time, really do want this one to do good.

Buford_NE_GA_7A(7B)Updated October 17, 2015 I do what cecily said. I leave an opening under the roses for watering and fertilizing. Since the roses leaf out, they shade that area and keep the moisture in. Which is the main reason I use mulch. You can also add compost and ot...

Buford_NE_GA_7A(7B)Updated October 17, 2015 Also, when collecting damaged buds, put them in a zip lock bag and seal it and throw in the trash. Do not toss them on the ground or put in the compost or just throw in the trash. They can escape and infect other flowers.
